About Me

My photo
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!

One Of My Fondest Memories

Reprising A story I wrote back on May 29th, 2015
*****
I want to thank the
Marines
and
Stater Brothers
today.
You might be wondering why I would want to thank the
U.S. Military
and
Stater Brothers Groceries.
It's because of what just happened to me
and one of my grandsons who is here celebrating
Memorial Day
with me.
You see,
my grandson
and I were jumping on the trampoline in my backyard when we saw two
Marine Gunship Helicopters
flying over the mountain ridge.
I am not a good judge of distances,
when it comes to airplanes,
or helicopters in the sky,
but they had to be close enough overhead to see us on the ground.
I told my grandson to wave to them,
because it is
Memorial Day,
the day to celebrate our
Military Heroes.
He waved vigorously,
like a five year old will do.
Lo & behold,
those
Marine Helicopters
turned around,
and flew directly over our house,
doing a complete circle,
before heading back in the same direction as before.
Of course,
when they were overhead,
I was so proud,
that I started waving just as vigorously as my grandson.
Thank you
Twenty-Nine Palms & Camp Pendleton Marines Corp
for once again being true
American Heroes.

Now,
  about three
or four weeks ago,
just before the new
Avengers
movie came out,
Pepsi
set up a display at
Stater Brother's Supermarket
featuring cardboard cutouts of
Iron Man,
Thor,
Captain America,
and my favorite,
The Hulk.
I immediately went to customer service
and asked if I could have the display after the promotion was over.
The
Assistant Manager
agreed,
taking my name
and phone number.
Last
Tuesday
I got the call to pick up my
Super Heroes.
It was a
Super Cool
gift for my grandson.
This week has really been a treat for this grandson
and myself.

I Have A Part Time Job

First, I would like to say I am still a blogger with a lot to say, but I also get bored sitting around the house all day. So I started working part time to ease some of that boredom. Yes, I do have a few friends I see once in awhile, but since I don't smoke, drink, or gamble, I'm boring to them. Yes, I do go for daily walks up to 5 miles per, I do like to read books as much as possible, and I do cut, trim, repair, clean around or inside my house. But I always liked driving. There is music I can listen to, podcasts, there are always new sites to see, and if I talk one of my kids to go with me, great conversation. Now I only have to budget my time better so I can blog again!
*****
Here is something that took me by surprise.
I received a text message the other day that put a smile on my face.
A friend of mine was researching the article
By Kimberlee Johnson.
He wants to buy a gift for a friend so when he saw the table of contents that said,
he clicked on it,
started reading,
and came across one of my quotes.
"Remember, the best presents anyone can give, is being there for their loved ones."
They probably got it off my Goodreads Author's Page under quotes.
I checked today
and didn't realize that I have seven pages of quotes on the site.
I guess I'm quotable!

has over 90 local wineries serving 50 different varieties of wine,
three casinos in the area with adjacent hotels,
and is an hour away from the mountains so you can ski in the winter then the next day drive an hour to surf on the Pacific Ocean.
Best of all,
it now has a new restaurant called
Red Pine Cafe!

And What Do We Say On May 4th?

I cannot believe it is May 4th already!
It seems like yesterday it was only May 3rd!
*****
Here in the
Sunshine State
people have been complaining that it's raining all the time.
You see, it is usually sunny 360 days out of the year.
But people are naturally complainers.
If you want to start a conversation with someone
and you have nothing to complain about,
the weather is always the fall guy.
But who wants to be foretold the weather? It is bad enough when it comes, without our having the misery of knowing about it beforehand.” - Jerome K. Jerome -
I know the title of the song is a metaphor but I like it when it rains!
