Good (I can't believe this) 51º morning! Seems strange after
the 30º mornings we started having. Pressure dropping so rain might be
on the way.
Yesterday was the Law Enforcement/Fire luncheon at our Grants
Pass Elk's lodge.
Along with a bunch of others... I had a lunchtime
libation...
One of the retired LAPD guys, Walter Smith, was
celebrating his 92nd birthday! Go Walt! Here he is with the lady who drives for
him, Carolyn Henderson. Carolyn was a dispatcher at our LASD radio room... I
think she also worked at San Dimas Station.
After lunch Dee and Jeannie showed up and along with Tammy we all had a
glass of wine...
LOL, not the most ideal background for a picture.... but, alas, it's the
lodge!
Tonight is football...........................

The following is what I put on my blog last year on this date..
The Day After
Dunce Day celebrates the term "Dunce" and dunce caps. Today marks the
death (November 8, 1308) of medieval scholar Duns Scotus of Duns, Scotland.
Dunce Day is all about learning. So, lets get right to it and learn about dunce caps and the creator of dunce caps. Duns Scotus of Duns, Scotland was a medieval scholar. Perceptions of his views ranged from brilliant to less than complimentary. Duns Scotus believed that cone shaped hats increased learning potential. He believed knowledge would flow from the point of the cap, down and into the head of the wearer, making that person smarter. About all this accomplished over time, was the perception of a person wearing a dunce cap to be...... a dunce. There was a positive side to his use of dunce caps. It motivated the wearer to learn more, so he could be rid of the cap. Scholar critics of his work derived the term "dunce" from his name and place of birth.
I woke in the middle
of the night and thought .... reversing Moochelle's statement, 'for the
first time in my life I am not proud of my
country'. I feel as if I have been punched in the gut and stabbed in the
back.
The arrogance and
lies, personal first family exorbitant spending and vacations, and socialism
will continue 4 more years....and probably beyond, because the voter base is now
so corrupt it's unintelligible.
The lefty 'let the
gov'ment run our lives, take our money, make those who work pay, and perpetuate
welfare' liberals are dancing and rejoicing. Just think, if Romney had won there
would be riots in the streets and anarchy because the 'gots my hand out and will
never work and Romney would take away my food stamps' adam henrys would be
propelled into getting jobs and forced to pay their own way! Republicans riot?
No. Democrats riot? Yes. Duh.
Class with these
two? Not!
I can't believe it
that so many are so stupid.
WTF????
And if you don't
like what I have to say about it, f**k off. Drop me from your email list,
unfriend me on FB, and stay out of my face with your liberal idiosyncrasies! I
am a dyed in the wool Republican believing welfare is only for those in
"NEED" and everyone should work and just because you have money
and earned it by working, making jobs, and paying your share you are not a 'bad
guy'!!! Business owners are heroes. Our military are heroes and should be
treated as such, with free medical and leaders who don't give out military
secrets and a budget to keep them and us safe. Get it
Washington!
God help
us!!!

Right on! You go girl! You got bigger balls than most men I know. I have been fighting liberalism for 20 years and I am losing because those who truly believe in this country and the idea of morality will not get off their lazy asses and fight for what they believe. The last 6 years have been the worst times in the history of this country. I pray to God to give us a break from the evils that have gripped America.

Sue, I agree with you. Having to buy insurance should be a choice of a free people. No one should be forced to do it or be taxed plus it is so socialistic to take from hard working people to pay for the masses. I realize some need help but so many are able and this is ruining our economy making it worse than it already is. Our generation is the first generation that paid into medicare all our working lives. We paid for two generations before us and now they tell us that medicare will be bankrupt. The coffers were raided to pay for Obamacare. And all the money paid out of country to set up a web site that doesn't work. And that isn't the worst of it. Many like my kids are having to pay more out of pocket for insurance and care. More people are hurt by it than people that are helped. It is horrible and how on earth did the Supreme Court approve it. Why are people so dumb? I'll get off my soap box now but it surely aggravates us. Marie
I agree 100% with what you wrote last year - and the stupid folks who think Obama is doing "a good job" are NUTS....give me a break...more and more folks are dipping into the money bags...free ride...why should I work for $10/hr when I can stay home, sleep - drink - eat - watch t.v. - play on the computer and the government will give me money....this can not continue - AMERICA is hurting, we must stop giving it all away - We have always helped everyone in every country - it is time for AMERICA to help AMERICANS - if and when AMERICA gets back on her feet - then try and help others - remember most of the folks we do help HATE AMERICA...okay enough.... I get going as well....all I can do most days is just shake my head and say "thank GOD my Grandmother is not around to see/hear all of this".....but I feel so sad for our children and grand children...after we are gone? Glad warmer there this a.m.....sunny blue sky day here - Mon/Tues cold and windy...looks like a keeper today...N
Hugs.
Interesting history of the dunce cap.
As a recovering former Democrat, I have a SLIGHTLY different take on the events of the day. My heart aches for the massive number of people who are just now coming to understand wishful and wisdom- about the only thing they have in common are the first two letters and number of syllables.
Some of the best lessons are learned the hard way. Including at the voting booth. I have spent a lifetime making up for some of my early stupid voting booth decisions.
People yearn for optimism and remember results long after political theory fails them.
Goodies are nice. But they only take you so far. The human spirit, once basic needs are met, yearns to soar free of political ruling classes.
It is the history of this nation to overcome the worst of adversity. A toast to our tradition- may wisdom again prevail over wishful thinking!
Right on Sue! I've never experienced a more corrupt administration! JF
Now Miss Susan;
Don't hold back....
Tell us how you really feel.....
LOVE IT !

HERE HERE HERE!!!! EXCELLENT!! WELL SAID!! You know I agree with everything you said 150%%.
Our forefathers are rolling over in their graves right now I am sure! I have read what Kruzchef? had to say about the ruination of America from within! That's is EXACTLY what is happening now!!
Socialism/communism is the way we are going!
Too many foreigners coming to our country then feeling "offended" by our customs! SH**!! I say stay the hell at home if you don't like what we do!
While babysitting at my kids who have no cable I sat and watched the dregs of the earth on TV. "Who my baby daddy" types! I wanted to run screaming down the street but we have allowed this to happen with all the handouts!
Well I could go on all day but well,.... you know.
Hugs and have a good day! XOXO Trisha
Thank you to those who back me up!!! xo
I'll just say "ditto" for me about your diatribe of the Obama takeover and the oh so ignorant people in this country!!
I pray that Heaven will help us!!!!!!
