I betcha rudyg would earn a bazillion bucks for ya Nanoose. Who could resist seeing a half-man half bat doing anything? He could just sit on his a** and do nothing. Folks could pay extra to have a SELFIE taken with him. You'd be be a bazillionaire! Let us know when the first show will be and where. Okey dokey? Thank you for your reply! :)
I would hire them to muck out my stable. (Although that may well turn out to be an example of the Peter Principle.)
muck out---to clean (the place where a farm animal lives) : to remove animal waste and dirty hay, sawdust, etc., from (a place, such as a barn)
The Peter principle is a concept in management developed by Laurence J. Peter, which observes that people in a hierarchy tend to rise to their "level of incompetence."
Yes tom I am unfortunately painfully aware of the Peter Principle. I worked for a couple of them. Also we all know what "muck" is having lived with the maniac-in-chief since January 2017! Everything he touches turns to muck. Someone wrote a book titled "Everything chump touches dies". Either way he is the death of everything we hold dear. Those who suck up to him are lower than dirt. Of what value they could bring to anything I cannot say. I am not smart enough to figger that out. Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday! :)
That guy was just on cable last night---he's got a new book coming out in January. Rick Wilson is his name.

Thank you for the info tom. I appreciate it. It's a great title and quite fitting. The careers of anyone who works for the maniac-in-chief are ruined. The maniac will keep on ticking till he gets a licking. Soon I hope. Happy Wednesday! :)
As I get older, I am aware of how the references to what may have been common knowledge to my generation are not necessarily known to current listeners/readers.
I was at the grocery store yesterday and had help taking things to the car. I was driving our "second" car---the 2002 truck that we had bought for our youngest when he left for college in 2002. We kept it as a "spare,' and it is driven less than 2000 miles a year. It turns out that the young man who helped me with the groceries likes older trucks. He commented on my truck, and it dawned on me that he was younger than the truck itself.
So if I refer to something that may no longer be "common" knowledge, I try to include an explanation or a definition.
Hard to believe that book came out over 50 years ago.
The Peter Principle? Geez tom has it really been that long? The passage of time is amazing. Or rather I should say our perception of it. How can the years FLY BY while the days drag on so slowly at times? A parlor trick? I look back on my life and cannot believe how incredibly quickly it's been lived. I remember vividly some things when I was 3 living in Highland Park, Michigan. But if you ask me what I had for breakfast yesterday I'm not sure but I could guess. How is that possible? SIGH. Thank you for your thoughtful reply! Wonder what the maniac-in-chief will come up with today and more importantly what other revelations will we learn about all the toady sycophants he has groveling on his behalf?

What else will we learn?---well, the abscess that has been lanced will no doubt continue to drain.
(Actually published in 1969, but I didn't double check the date until just now. I knew it was the late 60's, but "over" 50 may have been inaccurate.)
One of the definitions of time is the measurement of things that change. But we do notperceive "change" by measuring it on the clock---we perceive it by how it affects us---and how we adjust to it. We live our lives---and "while the unexamined life is not worth living," we are usually not watching the clock.
Short and long term memories are apparently stored differently in the brain. Apparently short term memory is electrically based (kind of like ROM in the computer) while long term memory is stored chemically somehow. (And all I know is that there is a difference---the existence of a distinction was sufficient to satisfy me.)

I understand why we would remember the most important things that happened to us. But the trivial things? That is a puzzlement to me. On one level I have an extraordinary memory of some things in detail and even aromas and ambiance. On other levels I don't remember some things happening at all. Why the difference? Oh well since we can never know the answer why ask? Of course that is a question begging to be asked all alone on its own which I shall. Thank you for your thoughtful reply and Happy Thursday! :)
He wasn't as bad as I thought he would be. Basically, he let a professional athlete dance around him.
It was a step-up for him. At least he for once got to work with a Professional person in his career, even if it was for less than a month. Kind of like his Press Secretary job. In length. No pros there for hundreds of miles.
Frankly, I don't watch that program, so I have no idea who gets thrown off. The only reason I even know he was on was that it was all over Yahoo and some other sites.
