About Me

Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

The First Year

This is the first year.
And the times they are changing.
I thought about it
and I am all for it!
By Kris Wartelle, The Daily Advertiser on WWL-TV.com
In an historic move, The Boy Scouts of America, for the first time in its 108-year history, is inviting both boys and girls to join the Cub Scouts. Boys and girls must be between the ages of 5 and 10 years old. Scouting leaders say all families will now be able to participate in the Cub Scouts, a program renowned for character-building fun and adventure. Each Cub Scout den will be single gender — all boys or all girls. Meanwhile, Cub Scout packs can include any combination of all-boy or all-girl dens. Scouting has seen a decline in membership over the years, said Michelle Copper, committee chair for Cub Scout Pack 451 in Scott. After studying successful programs around the country, the organization found that those run as family programs, which would include girls, were the most successful packs.

I chose this story about the
Louisiana Boy Scouts
 because one of my
Granddaughters
has just signed up to be in the first ever class of girls joining the
Cub Scouts
in that state.
Good for her.
I am very proud of you
Lilah!

This is,
Being A Proud Papa,
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“I became a Cub Scout and learned how to salute by bringing my index and middle fingers together and touching my forehead just above my right eyebrow. I could snap a smart salute and did so whenever the occasion arose. My uniform was second hand and already had most of the required patches sewn onto it. It was quite worn and had a faded look, which suited me just fine. It gave the illusion that I had been around a while, and wasn’t just the tenderfoot that I really was.”
- Captain Hank Bracker, -

That is my story and I am sticking to it!
