 “The Trump New Jersey Sphincter -- the 8th Wonder of the World -- has a butt for a face on a lion’s body. Not exactly like the Sphinx in Egypt but kinda. Gale force winds emanate from the butt-hole and blow tourists out to sea. The Russians, love it…”

He’s trained his eyebrows to grow in a wider swatch above his miniscule eyeballs by rigorously brushing his brows sideways -- or from brow-line upwards and towards his bangs -- I’ve heard he does this five hundred times before goin to bed every night as he is no quitter. Of course, some Democrats in Congress think cuz of the eyebrow-hair-thing that President Trump is hidin somethin or appears to be hidin something, which is okay with him as long as WE don’t know that it’s his forehead he’s hidin, or what’s the point of the whole hiding-the-forehead-thing anyway?”

In the interaction between someone working as a cashier and a customer the dynamic is one of business, one of mutual respect, with no person the superior, a meeting of equals: In businesses where wages might be low -- fast food joints -- management should allow a tip jar. Those customers that can afford to that want to show an appreciation, a respect for the folks working, can tip. Anyone that doesn’t see it that way, or doesn’t wish to tip, or can't afford to, does not have to. The money generated -- provided by the customers -- will make a difference.

in flight by second thoughts, a hero one day a dead duck the next. Happy Veteran's Day... To all that served: thank you. "Veterans Day originated as “Armistice Day” on Nov. 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the end of World War I. Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and Nov. 11 became a national holiday beginning in 1938." - history.com/topics/ holidays/veterans-day-facts Please give to the Paralyzed Veterans of America: 801 18th Street, NW/ Washington D.C. 20006/ 1-800-555-9140 “Choking on all kinds of miscellaneous crap, the sky doggie-humped the big valley as the day died and the forlorn red sun sank screeching into the atmospheric murk, until it exploded like the final moment in a B movie when giant methane-enriched cockroaches gas California and a buxom blonde in high-heels lights a match.
“He watched the nuclear sunset with a connoisseur’s eye. In applause, Carney threw a half-eaten taco into the gray surging water of the Sacramento River. Maybe a sturgeon would eat it, digest it, impart it within its eggs and it would end up as caviar in one of those tourist baskets along with California wine, cheese, and grapes. Maybe Carney would go swimming with the eight-hundred-pound sturgeon and the butt-ugly giant fish would eat him and he’d become part of the process…” - from China Flats, a novel by Kevin O’Kendley Please give to the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California: 39 Drumm Street/ San Francisco, California 94111/ 415-621-2493 Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, began at sundown, Sunday, 9/29, and ended on sundown, Tuesday, 10/1. - My Jewish Learning

Our grief made us thoughtful, our dilemma is that our sense of justice and freedom might not keep us safe but it will keep us American. Our hearts are with those that suffered and suffer still.
