Finders-Keepers Losers-Weepers

Let's see here, China found a 150 thousand dollar drone and scooped it out of the sea and sailed away. Now the US is saying something like you'd better give it back you big meanies. I find this sort of thing hysterical. In all honesty though, I thought we (American citizens) were getting more for our federal tax dollars. It wasn't very long ago that the Iranians snatched some US sailors out of the sea and made them apologize for something. Probably for just being silly Americans. At this rate, perhaps we should quit being the policemen of the world and redeploy, on our shores, and take back the inner cities.

I missed Something ...

Ah yes, comments from yesterday involved well thought ideas regarding arson and Community Service. Is Chicago indeed rougher than Detroit? The second comment regarding the n-word? Let's see here, I must be the kinda author who has no need to use it.

Now riddle me this. Since when can't out President (or President Elect) in this case, not speak with people without asking for permission. Free Speech or something like that. I get it, we are a debtor nation to China and they get to call the shots on monetary issues but really. Trump can't chat with Tsai Ing-wen without asking first? 

Sticks and Stones may Break my Bones but . . .

I mean really.   Link   So okay, I get it, some are sensitive to the n-word in this land of freedom of speech. Words will never hurt me. Harper Lee nails the hatred and then is banned. Someone is missing the big n-word picture here. What next, a good old fashion book burning.

Aleppo

So the Rebels are on the run. Bashar al-Assad has won. But wait a minute . . . what did he win?

Give me The Truth and Empathy.

Merry Xmas to all and their familes.

On Lincoln & Trump

Now if you please . . . he was a Republican . . . and there is much angst regarding those who's canidate did not win. Lincoln was said to have started asking numerous questions and raise doubts about supposedly established truths.

Isn't that what it's all about? The truth?

Now riddle me this . . . some were very angry that Trump had said he may not accept the results of the election if he did not win. Okay. Now I get the feeling that these very same folks are not accepting the outcome of the election.

Politics is not a football game where we all cheer for a side. We are all cheering for Trump whether you voted for him or not. Enough said?

Odds and Sods.

1) Rumor has it the only reason you are in Colorado is so that you can use Pot to help you write another stupid book on crime doers. I think maybe they are correct because mountain climbing at your age is showing you are trying too hard to be macho man. I check your blog everyday and I see nothing of importance. I refuse to Facebook  so I guess I am missing out on a lot of stuff about your exploits. What? Me being macho and pulling off exploits?

2) I know it is hard writing books, but how about keeping your fans on the edge of their seats.

Shut off your Body Cam, take off your bullet proof vest, put down your favorite traffic writing pen and input some thoughts to this blog or do the right thing and shot it in the head. Hey, I love the tone of this comment.

3) Right On! My hats off to ya for the comment. Many are too frightened to be heard. I don't wear a hat but you get the pciture right? This in response to a comment suporting individuals and their right to protest as in Colin Kaepernick. 

4) I do miss Curt's unique ability to create art with his words and enjoy reading his takes on everything. Hopefully he will return soon. For me any type of art, writing or music is exactly like love. You can't force it to happen. It is a conscious choice. It takes work and sometimes alone time. I know Curt will be back at his craft soon or maybe he will start another chapter in his life. One thing is for sure he will keep us wanting more. I miss the wild pictures of his travels as we have been unable to travel due to health reasons. Does it get me down? No because there will be a day when I can travel again. Seattle, San Diego,Denver,San Fransisco, Chicago, NYC and back home to the Great Midwest. Going to be a hell of a road trip. This is what it's really all about. I mean taking a bite out of this apple called life. I'd rather wear out than rust away. I'd love to end up with you at the Whiskey a GO GO. Writing is art Good insight.

5) My guess you will be on a jury because you are a world famous author and they are really stupid to call you for jury duty.

I hope they pick you for some of the drug dudes that ask for a jury trial. I hope they make you the foremen too.

Go get them my friend and be sure to write a book about you experience as a jury foremen.

And no worries about the free book as I will pay for one just like I did for the other 2 books that you still have not signed. Yes I was indeed called for jury duty but was never seated. Oh well. 

This just in . . .

and it's nice to be back. Here are some of your thoughts.

There still are a few people watching the blog. 

I love to pull your chain and apparently I am not alone.

Have you dropped of the edge of the earth. Are you dead or just pissed off at me?

What Really Matters?

Utimatly we get what we deserve. I can say I am not on any train and do not buy the Blue or Black Lives Matter thing. I am about the truth and respecting all of life.


Apparently you must be aboard the TRUMP train as a former Cop or don't you belong to BLUE LIVES MATTER way of thinking?

Oh Come On!

Lenny Bruce claimed in the Halls of Justice the only justice was in the halls. Below is a response from yesterdays post . . . Yeah, I'm starting to get it. I think. Thanks for the response.

It's a court room. What don't you understand?
You know who

OMG

Click Here and Then please explain this to me.

Question #1 Answered with One Word

Well finally you surface and this was the best you could do? For the record there was 71 people killed with guns in Chicago in November and 701 so far this year and no response from you. How about picking what is left of your brain and fill us in on your thoughts.

You Know who.

Yes, I am back and look forward to getting caught up with matters on hand. To answer your question with one word . . . Guns. This civilized society we call America is armed to the hilt for no good reason. Violence begets Violence.

Not Enough Good Will

Alrighty then. Time to kick this pig. I'm at SeaTac International and a guy is standing in front of the bus flipping this driver off. The driver is totally patient and waits for the 'game' to get old. The finger flasher finally moves on. I'm like...you totally played it right my friend. He's like man I'm having a bad day and I said I dunno, you're my hero. Ya see . . . if ya share good will, your own day is going to be better.

Brush with Death

So I'm hanging out in Seattle. In the mean time a couple from back where I'm from are doing the murder-suicide deal on an Island not twenty miles from me. I guess that's why they call it 'mean time'. I also drove by the Cascade Mall where 5 were being shot to death so we can all continue to enjoy our 2nd Amendment Rights. Stayed in the same Hotel with Chicago's professional football team.

Killer Apathy

The two punch killer for me is Apathy+Fear. I finally just walked and then Black Lives Matter and Kaepernick come along. They take action regardless of the consequence. Perhaps it is time to reignite this blog. There are some who choose to be heard. To stand against the 'not in my backyard' crowd.

Colin Kaepernick and The National Anthem

Hey man . . . he has the right given to him from the same guys who gave us the good ole' right to have guns. I share his angst as readers of this blog would know. But I'm thinking I couldn't do it. Watch Saving Private Ryan and then make your decsion.

Keeping Summer Vactions Sacred

Tough job but somebody has to do it. While the rest chase that relentless last dollar I chased something else entirely.

Riddle me this Batman . . . who let this Joker into the Olympic Village?

If I don''t see ya in the future I'll see ya in the pasture.

If someone told you to jump off a cliff would you? I did. Be back at it shortly. Odds and Sods must be tackled when and if I ever land in the studio. Leaving the country for a great adventure or at least I hope it ain't a miss-adventure. Middle East anyone?

Bombs Away!

Guns don't kill people . . .

How does the old saying go? Guns don't kill people . . . People do. Well I suppose that's so until a good person makes a mistake.

Hillary has Trumped the System

First the political system. Yeap it's rigged. Ya gotta hand it to Hillary she done got it done. Her esteemed colleague and friend The Donald ran against her. Yeah right. He's running for her folks. His actions have insured she's in and he is going to benefit to be sure.

Are you in JAIL as you have not posted to your blog in one whole month?

Nope. Not in jail. Been a spell. I've been embedded I guess ya could say. Climbed a mountain. Hung out with the military and Arabs and am headed for Vancouver. Have new insights. Book is in the works that will make Trump seem lame.
