Thinking of You

 LuAnn Gleeson     Apr 1, 1959  -  Sep 21, 2019

It's been two years, but I still get sad thinking about your passing. You were the love of my life.

Not smart

People are taking livestock deworming medication Ivermectin to treat Covid.

These are the same people that are calling everyone else sheep, yet they are taking a sheep dewormer.

This is not what we meant by herd immunity.

What is Kristi Burton Brown smoking

 https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/colorado-s-republican-leaders-gathered-at-a-gas-station-to-unveil-their-new-party-priorities/ar-AAN9Xu7?ocid=hplocalnews

In the news conference she says that gas was $2.19 a gallon last year and now it's $3.69 a gallon.

"If you're wondering why are we having this press conference as a gas station. Last November, in 2020, gas was $2.19 a gallon, today as you can see, it's $3.69 per gallon," said Colorado Republican Chair Kristi Burton Brown. "That is thanks to the Democrats policies that are failing Colorado."

In the middle of a pandemic when no one is driving, yes the price will come down as production exceeds demand. When demand exceeds production like coming out of a pandemic the price will rise.

To make this even funnier here is another quote

"They have been in control of Colorado for over a decade now, and prices are on the rise," said Burton Brown about why it is Democratic leadership's fault that gas prices have risen.

With that comment then the $2.19 in November was also the Democrats doing as they have been in control for over a decade. The Democrats are responsible for low gas prices and high gas prices, OK lady.

And finally the kicker

"Denver's air quality, in particular, is the worst in the world as of yesterday. Who's in charge of Denver? Who's in charge of Colorado? It's the Democrats and it is their problem."

She has to be high to blame the Democrats for the poor air quality. The bad air is caused by forest fires in the western United States and a low pressure system that is bring in the smoke to Denver.

I do like this Scott Paulson, the gas station owner, that questions the comments of Ms. Brown. Basically says no that is not correct. Love it. Need more critical thinkers like Scott Paulson

Rest in Peace My Friend

 Ed Marks passed away today after losing his fight with pancreatic cancer. He was my lifelong bestfriend and I will miss him.

12/04/1966    -     04/21/2021

There was a lot of life in that dash. 

I met Ed in middle school and we formed a friendship of four guys including Joe and Withers. We would bike to the major malls in St. Petersburg to watch movies and check out the merchandise at Spencer's Gifts. We would bike to the 28th Street Drive In Theater and put our transistor radio inside the fencing and got to watch the R rated movies even though we were too young. Most weekends we would hang out at Ed's house as they had a soda machine that you didn't need quarters for and it it also had beer in it but we were told only to take the sodas. We played board games mostly on the weekend nights. RISK was always a popular game to play as was Monopoly. Sometimes the games lasted multiple weekends. Ed had the cool car in high school a Formula Firebird, I think it was a '74 in orange with the honeycomb wheels.

After high school Ed served in the Navy for 3 years until he had to be medically discharged as he kept hitting his head on the bulkheads, Ed was 6' - 7"(at least he didn't work on a submarine.) During his time in the Navy he acquired a 5 foot tall carved mahogany eagle with 5 feet of wingspan in the Philippines from his home base of Subic Bay. Beautiful sculpture. Not sure it is made out of one tree but it looks like it. He worked for the USPS for 30+ years and was planning his retirement when he became ill. He collected all things Disney/Mickey Mouse and Coca-Cola. He was a season pass holder for Walt Disney World for several years. Ed was a huge Elvis fan and once travelled to Graceland after winning a chance to go on an Elvis Trivia Show on Elvis Radio. He won and got to play the next three songs on Elvis Radio. He even gave me a shout out on the show. I've traveled with Ed on several vacations including to my parents farm in Sturgeon Bay WI, the Black Hills of South Dakota to see Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse and even Sturgis during Bike Week as well as Devil's Monument. We also visited Las Vegas several times and took the tours of the Hoover Dam, Ethel M's Chocolates and also visited the Valley of Fire in the Vegas area and the Grand Canyon Skywalk on the Haulapai tribal lands. 

He is survived by his love Eva and his mother Pat, as well as several cousins.

Here we are at Epcot Center to see the Flock of  Seagulls perform. The first concert Ed and I ever attended was the Go Go's and the Flock of Seagulls at Bayfront center in 1982. Eva made us the replica concert t-shirts from that tour and that is what we are wearing in this picture in the Moroccan area of Epcot.

Here is Ed, Joe and myself at Carmine's in Ybor City where the best Cuban sandwiches are made along with huge Carmine's Deviled Crab Balls.

Here is Ed and Eva when they came out to visit me in Colorado. We took the Denver Mint tour and got free samples.

Ed, Eva and myself at Crazy Horse.

Here Ed is mowing the grass at my parent's farm. he really liked that riding lawn mower. Spent almost the whole day on it. 

We made an every other 4 year visit to each other's football stadiums when they played against each other. When the Buccaneers were in Denver, Ed would make the trip out to Denver to go to the game in my season ticket seats and when Denver was in Tampa Bay I would travel to Raymond James Stadium. Here we are in Mile High Stadium. I grew up with the Bucs as my home town team so I will wear their gear when they are in Denver. Otherwise I will wear my Broncos gear to games. We got to carry the flag out on to the field at one of the games. We had to disguise our Buccaneer attire as they made it clear that no one in the opposing teams gear would be allowed to carry the flag. 

Thank you for being a part of my life Ed. You were a brother to me. It has been a pleasure to know you. I'll see you again. I love you.

Rest in Peace You Gentle Giant.

...and this guy is governor??

Where do they come up with these ideas?

The governor, who describes himself as a “knee-jerk anti-communist,” believes the CCP’s promotion of lockdowns was rooted in the communist regime’s scheme to get other countries to damage their economies with ill-advised restrictions.

Conspiracy Theory or Fact

 UFO sightings are just humans from the future on a time-traveling safari.

All the UFO sightings throughout history are just humans from the future on a time-traveling safari meant to observe how we were in the past. They are supposed to keep out of sight, but thanks to human/mechanical errors, there have been hiccups with their cloaking which have resulted in being seen. That’s why there have always been so many reports of them throughout history, but there has never been an attack. It’s just us.

Also the reason why we don’t see as many examples of UFOs now even though pretty much everyone has a camera is because people are not that interested in this time period since we already document aspects of human life all the time.

Good Question

 If guns aren't the problem and people are the problem, then why would you let the problem have guns?

Ok this is a good pun

St. Patrick's Day

 After too many questions about where my green was yesterday I just started telling them "I'm wearing a green thong, you want to see it?' I'm a 300lb man. I would not look good in a thong. They stopped asking.

Underground Railroad Tunnels?

 NYC has bought a house believed to be a way house on the Underground Railroad.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/new-york-city-buys-a-historic-home-believed-to-have-been-part-of-the-underground-railroad/ar-BB1eENcF

It had been threatened for demolition and was singled out in a press release. Here is a portion:

https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/planning/download/pdf/about/press-releases/pr051004b.pdf

Following extensive research, no evidence has been found to substantiate the existence of Underground Railroad activity at 233 and 229 Duffield and 434 Albee Square West. Nevertheless, when redevelopment occurs at these sites, test borings will be conducted to ascertain if there is any evidence of tunnels that include Underground Railroad artifacts. 

I'm not sure but it looks like the people responsible for the press release actually think the Underground Railroad was an underground rail system as they say they will do test borings for tunnels.

Are they that dense?

Sad to report clown deaths

 I always wondered how they got so many clowns into those VW's. I guess the same can be done in larger vehicles like a Ford Expedition. 27 people in 1 vehicle.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/at-least-15-killed-in-crash-with-semitruck-in-southern-california/ar-BB1ea34e?li=BBnb7Kz

The post says 27 people were in the vehicle but they also included this:

At least 15 people were killed and about 12 others 

Not sure why the ABOUT is in there. How many people were in the vehicle?
