Weird

Did you happen to see the public thrashing of a presidential candidate at the National Association of Black Journalists?

Funny thing was the candidate thrashed himself.

I usually stay away from such situations but I watched the interview because the candidate - a big, orange blob of stupidity - walked off the stage after 35 minutes because he couldn’t handle the questions about racism.

He went on his usual rant about how he’s done more for black people than even Lincoln, and then he pretended that Kamala Harris - his opponent - might not be black - she ‘said she was Indian and then she turned black.’

The questions were rough and instead of trying to defuse the situation with policy procedures he behaved like a petulant child.

He attached the journalist who asked the question.

He spoke about acing his dementia test and he threw punches at black and Hispanic people without not even knowing he was doing it.

He mentioned ‘black jobs’ as though there are different jobs for different races.

Of course he spoke about the country being an open border with criminals coming to steal jobs.

Funny fact.

Rank the president who deported the least people in a 4-year window.

Your choices are Biden, Trump and Obama.

The fact of the matter is that Biden deported the most, followed by Obama, and lastly - Trump.

The big, bad wall builder ranked last in deportation.

He was supposed to build a wall that solved the problem. If you asked him he’d say he did.

Well, if he did, it didn’t work.

Anyway, I’m losing my train of thought on it because it’s all so ridiculous.

Watch that interview and tell me that he should be in charge of the Democracy.

He shouldn’t be in charge of wallpapering a bathroom.

Mess.

They’re all weird.

My Buddy, Dave

Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I bet you tha

Suits

Like a lot of other people we got pulled into the series, ‘Suits’ on Netflix. I’ve never had much fun hanging around lawyers who have questioned me as a construction safety officer. I once testified in a case where the opposing lawyer started questioning me by going through my educational background. “So,” he said, racing to a crescendo, “You graduated from college with a degree in Communications-Journalism and suddenly, 30 years later, you’re a ‘safety expert.’” He actually made the quotation marks with his fingers. I just looked at him. “How does that happen?” He bellowed, sure that he was going to discredit me. “Well,” I said. “I knew I was overqualified to become a lawyer.” The courtroom erupted in laughter. Even the judge chuckled. The rest of his questions landed flat. So, I wasn’t all that keen on a show about lawyers, but ‘Suits’ is great. Meghan Markle became a princess because of the show, and she is very good in it (and a beautiful woman). Yet, there is so much more. The wri

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C’mon, Oliver,”
