Only living, registered U.S. citizens can vote….

Now I know that many of those that read this will think that I am endorsing Trump, but what I am endorsing is; “Anyone BUT Hillary!” I feel that she is as evil, or maybe more so, as Hitler was. I think she’s the antichrist.

The above has many reasons to vote for Trump. The biggest reason to vote for Trump would be that he’s not Hillary.

Shots in the night.

Last night I was awakened by an alarm nearby at 10:45. I checked my car in case the iPhone app was not functioning and saw it was fine. Headed back to bed and was trying to fall back to sleep when I heard six gunshots. Three shots, a pause, then three more. I get up again and go out the front door and listen. I check the back deck and see lights on the house to the north of Mom’s and assume that it involved them. I then start to hear sporadic gunfire from, what I assume was, the beach area and they were single shots spaced about 30 to 45 seconds apart.

This morning I asked Mom is she heard anything and she didn’t. I told her what I heard and my assumptions and she was surprised. I told her that when the sun came up I was going to talk to the neighbor about what I heard and see what happened. At 7:00 I walked over there and knocked on the door and asked the wife, Sherry, if they knew what had happened and she said they were up at the time but didn’t hear anything. She explained that when he house is closed up because they have the air on, they can’t hear anything that happens outside. Makes sense since the only reason I heard what I heard was because I opened the window at night to hear the lake.

The upshot of this is that I have no clue what happened, but there were about a dozen shots fired in close proximity to Mom’s house around 10:45 last night.

McDonalds during the storm pt. 2

OK, yesterday’s writing about the storm was originally much longer, but the wifi at McDonalds wouldn’t let me post it. In essence, I lost it somehow.

Anyway, it was about how bad the storm in central Illinois was and how happy I was being in a car rather than on my bike. I don’t think I ever left a road because of rain before and  I stated it had to be a storm of epic proportions for that to happen or I blamed a wisdom due to age for that to happen.

Michigan

I’m here now. I arrived around 11:30 or so. Mom is fine and she shows no sign of stress at me being here. We’ve played 4 games of Scrabble already, I think, and I’ve won all games. She’s letting me win I think.

Our Sunday Picnic

We went to a picnic in Lamy, a tiny town along the Santa Fe Railroad tracks. It was an old time type of a town picnic which was invite only. The food was amazing and the music was good.

A Joke for the 4th. Both sexes should enjoy it.

MEN ARE JUST HAPPIER PEOPLE…

What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park.

Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom, because this one is just too icky. You don’t have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you’re talking to them. New shoes don’t cut, blister, or mangle your feet. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks.

A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Two pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades. You only have to shave your face and neck.

You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes — One color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can ‘do’ your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives On December 24 in 25 minutes. No wonder men are happier.
