Thank you for your patience – and expressions of concern –
during my recent absence. It’s been a busy month. Here’s just a bit:
#1-The Captain’s mother had knee replacement surgery, which
went well. Thank you for asking.
You did ask, didn’t you?
That took a lot of time and emotional energy in the days
following the surgery. Our schedules are just now getting back to normal as she
settles into a 3-per-week outpatient physical therapy routine.
#2-I traded in my Jeep for an “adult car”.
More on that later.
Captain’s Note: The Captain extends all due condolences to
the person who next buys that Jeep. The roof leaks when it rains, and there is
a steel drum music CD stuck in the CD player. We were surprised that the car
dealer never asked about the condition of the Jeep; he simply scanned the bar
code on the door and offered me the expected market price.
#3- The First Mate’s parents came for a visit.
#4- In the meantime, there has been another Presidential debate.
Plenty of fodder for “Banana Winds”, but I will pass on that for now.
The Captain should apologize to my fair readers because I
have not followed up with my promise to tell you why I am voting for Secretary
Clinton (with whom I agree on so many issues currently facing us), but the
truth is that Trump (OMFG!) simply keeps giving me thousands of reason to not
vote for him!
#5- And then I wandered into a conversation on Facebook recently
that demonstrated the depth to which political discourse in our country has
sunk.
Here is the original post:
For those who don't know the Integration Minister, Sylvi Listhaug, you should know that she once floated in the Mediterranean "to better understand what it feels like to be a refugee".

| Yeah, it's just like that... |
Here is my comment and the ensuing replies (with apologies
for the coarse language):
And although the Captain has refused further participation in the "discussion", the insult continue to flow my way.
Frankly, some things should never be re-made.
Sadly, Tim Curry (this time as the Criminologist) will not
be leading us in the “Time Warp”.
In addition to being a bad re-make, FOX takes commercial breaks
for self-promotion.
When this is over I’m going to have to re-watch the original
to set the world right again!
So today’s blog is a lighter piece about Facebook.
Specifically a feature known as “For Sale or Trade”, where people in a local
community offer their unwanted goods “For Sale or Trade”.
Duh.
I joined several such sights, but never paid much attention
to the various postings until I saw one concerning a car for sale. It was
reasonably priced, and the photos provided showed it to be in decent condition,
although it had apparently sat in someone’s driveway for a while. A brief
written description hailed it as a dependable vehicle, blah blah blah. And then
it mentioned that the driver’s door had been “keyed”. A closer look at the
photo revealed that someone had scratched the word “WHORE!” along the entire
driver’s side!
I’m guessing it will be for sale for a while.
So then I started looking at other posts.
I've had a lot of time to fill.
So check these out...
