You Watching?

-

The huge debate is tonight.

Are you ready for the intelligent exchange of ideas as the men who are running for president make their case for the top job by being thoughtful, compassionate, and understanding of the issues that hamper the nation?

Yeah.

Me neither.

It’s going to be an absolute shit show that devolves into a spirited round of name-calling.

There is simply no way that this is beneficial and I believe it’s a colossal waste of time as people have already decided who they are voting for.

Candidate 1 is the incumbent who is 81 years old. His detractors claim that he is senile and has no idea where he is.

They also believe that he has master-minded an elaborate scheme to destroy his opponent’s campaign.

Candidate 2 is a convicted sexual assault offender. He has also been convicted of fraud and 34 criminal felonies.

His detractors believe that he’s clinically insane.

There you go!

I’m sure that it’s a close call for some people and the debate answers will clear it all up.

I have a solution to the snoozer that the debate is going to be.

When a candidate tells a lie they should receive an electric shock.

Nothing too elaborate just one that will show the viewer that it was indeed a fib.

Can you imagine?

I know for sure that one dude would be flopping around on the stage as though he were a fish out of water….

…about 2 minutes in.

I’m not watching even a second of it.

I’ll try not to read about it either.

Absolutely zero benefit to it.

I don’t have any curiosity about what the new nickname might be.

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

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

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,”
