Me4

Guy from southern Indiana Free

Born in '54 near the bucolic, pastoral town of Hitchcock, (also known as "Oxonia") in southern Indiana, in earshot of the celebrated Monon railroad ("The Hoosier Line"). Admiring my perpetually drunk, brawling, leg-breakin' WWII Battle of the Bulge veteran uncle, I grew up as a hell raisin', fist fightin', hard drinkin', drag racin', jail-bound ne'er-do-well teenager. But I soon learned the err of my ways, before any major tragedy occurred, fortunately. Today, I am widowed, repentant, reclusive and retired, just barely living off of Social Security, near the idyllic, sylvan town of Furnessville in northwest Indiana, within earshot of the historic South Shore railway. My final goal now is to try to outlive and take care of the stray cat and her three kittens that my beloved late wife and I rescued back in '19. They are the last of the many dogs and cats that we rescued over the years. Lots of jobs, many lessons learned, far too many regrets, but even more stories.

    No. I also have a dog statue holding a sign which says, “GO AWAY”. I have three signs on my front door. One says “NO SOLICITING”; another says, NO SOLICITING, NO CHARITY, ESTIMATES, PETITIONS, POLITICS, RELIGION, SALES PEOPLE, NO EXCEPTIONS ". The third sign says “DO NOT KNOCK — NO UNEXPECTED OR UNINVITED VISITORS — DO NOT DISTURB” The signs helped somewhat. I now keep the gate to my front door locked. Nobody get can close enough to my door to even knock.

    CJ’s welcome mat says “GO AWAY”. So does mine!

    An even more pressing question is: why do people park in driveways, and drive on parkways?

    Trump is truly history-making! The only President to have been impeached twice! The only President that has been criminally indicted! The only President who lost and refused to concede! (And Trump has recently said that he will not accept the 2024 election results if he doesn’t win) The only President who sells golden sneakers and modified Bibles!

    I don’t think Trump is sleeping in court. He’s fantasizing about the vengeance he will wreak upon his political opponents, critics, as well as former colleagues who have turned against him. He said that he would be a dictator “only” on the first day. That was a public declaration. I wonder what he says in private about this topic? He also remarked about the “productive meeting” that he had with Nick Fuentes, the leader of the Groypers (the looniest of the lunatic fringe of the Trumpites). Position of the Groypers: 1) Trump should be President for life; 2) Congress should be disbanded; 3) non-Christians should be executed.

    You answered, “Because it’s the most godless state.” Then why would it look sad at the idea of separation from the church?

    I have a clear memory of an incident from high school. We were on a field trip. At a rest stop, one of the girls asked a group of her female friends, “I have to go to the bathroom, can somebody help me?” I couldn’t imagine what help she would need; she certainly wasn’t disabled; in fact, she was the lead cheerleader. My imagination ran wild at what was going on in that bathroom.

    The shape of California looks like he’s slouching in the chair. Plus, “Cal” is a typical man’s name.

    Fining Trump is useless, since the Trumpites will happily donate to Trump to pay the fines. I can picture, in my mind’s eye, the following text message being sent out by Trumpite husbands to their wives: “Hunny, yor gonna hafta werk dubul shifts at thuh strip klub, Prezident Trump needz mor munny!”
