Apologies to all of you in foreign lands who didn't ask for any of this and may well be adversely affected as well. Where we go from here is anyone's guess. Woe is us.

As follows:"Out of the night that covers me black as the pit from pole to pole I thank whatever gods may be for my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced or cried aloud. Under the bludgeoning of chance my head is bloody but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears loom but the horror of the shade and yet the menace of the years finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate how charged with punishments the scroll. I am the master of my fate. I am the captain of my soul" less

What other EVIL despot dictators have been so desperate for authoritarian autocratic oligarchic control that they went out of their way to grievously harm their own citizens?

How many just follow the yellow brick road as they are told to do without any concern for where it leads them?

Who could ask for anything more of you or from you?

NEVER ADMIT what you did. ALWAYS DENY AND LIE. People will buy it. Without exception. So that's why the Republicans can maintain their self-righteous claim to being the party of FAMILY FIRST and MORALITY. No Republican is ever guilty of anything devious or cruel or mean or disgusting or duplicitous. Ever. Whatever happens that is disgusting is always due to Dems/Libs. Period. A tidy way to go through life and spend no time at all reflecting upon what we have come to as a society. Political party labels takes care of all of it. You are a Republican. You are a perfect person. Those who criticize you are the bad people. You are all martyrs and will surely find a cushy place in Heaven. Simple. :( less

Now women are out and about seeking jobs to support themselves and so they unwittingly provide ample opportunity for sexually perverted deviates to exact sexual favors(quid pro quo) or even attack them/force them/ambush them/harass them. Sexual revolution? Women's Lib? The price women have to pay for being out in the workplace? Did women's Lib create the problem? If women still stayed in the home what would society be like today? I wonder. less

This lady showed up a few years ago after a bad hail storm. Hard to tell from the pic but she was huge. She decided digging a hole in my driveway in front of my garage was the best place to lay her eggs. She was very heavy and it was quite the challenge to pick her up and find a place far enough away that was safe.

When someone says "I'm going to peg you" are they asking me to play a game of Cribbage? This man I was passing in the street said it to me and I didn't know what to say. I mean, I left my cribbage board at home.

When he apologized for saying those words right after the tape was released and played incessantly or now when he refutes ever having said them?

BUT I think it is fair to say that every day in every way more and more scumbags will be outed. They thought they got away clean! They were wrong. Eventually every single one of them will be outed and dealt with. Every day in every way, relentlessly, justice will be served. Every day in every way once outed these folks will live different lives than they did when they thought no one would be brave enough to stand up and tell the truth. They clearly underestimated their victims. They clearly thought they had won. Nope. Surprise! :( less

Currently it is thunderous. Give it time. It will be deafening, eardrum shattering and we shall all be deaf. SIGH.

His business grew; now he is a general contractor, builds houses and gives some away. He plans on giving 100 away in the next ten years. Pretty cool, eh?
