An Agitator And A New Follower

First things first.

My old

Nemesis,

Archenemy,

or just a really

Sarcastic Foe,

has come back to haunt my dreams by

Commenting

again on one of my Posts.

Yes,

The Jeff

is back!

On my Post,

Do The Research,

The Jeff

said,

and I quote;

Jeff Povlich July 9, 2016 at 11:39 AM

This story really "Hacks" me off.

The Jeff,

master of the sarcastic word,

is really a pretty funny

and well mannered guy.

Unless you get on his wrong side.

He is the

Co-Writer

and

Co-Producer

of the hit

YouTube Channel,

"The News As We See It."

An

"Andy of Mayberry"

type of series,

but instead of being

Police Officers,

there are two poorly acting

Gentlemen

and one fine looking

Actress

who do the

News,

Weather,

and

Sports.

Check it out.

It's pretty funny.

They pretty much look like the folks in the above picture too!

My sources in the underworld have told me that a new episode is on its way.

Look for it this

"Fall"

for the

Fall Sweeps!

The one strange thing about their show is the

Sports Anchor.

He has been a life long friend of mine who I didn't recognize.

He played drums in a couple of bands I was in.

The last photo I saw of him was coming out of the water after he completed the second leg of an

Ironman Triathlon!

He is still

fit and lean,

but now there is a lot of blubber surrounding that leanness.

He said that was the last time he was ever going to do the

Triathlon

and for the last five years he has been proving it by drinking a lot of beer.

I reached another milestone over my summer vacation.

My sister,

Mary Ellen ########,

has finally signed up as a

Follower.

The last name has been covered up to protect her innocence.

Because of her,

and her procrastination,

I have reached the

25 Followers

 mark this year!

Thanks Sis.

I am still waiting for that

Blind Date

you promised me thirty-five years ago.

You must be looking real hard for a real good woman for me,

huh?

Is that why it is taking so long?

(I have to write a disclaimer here. My wife just read my joke and she doesn't think it is very funny. Sorry Honey. It's only a joke!)

Oh, by the way. Did you see today's headlines on the website;

The Hill?

"Trump campaign solicits illegal foreign donations despite warnings."

Great, now Trump will owe favors to foreign contributors for giving him campaign donations.

Wait? Isn't that illegal?

Yes, yes it is.

I'm Back

A few days ago I returned home to

Southern California,

from my month long vacation,

of visiting my relatives

and friends from the state I grew up in,

Wisconsin.

One month was not long enough.

A friend of mine,

who teaches at

Bowie State University

in

Maryland,

called me up on the Friday of the last weekend I was in town.

He invited me to a party on Saturday,

the next day,

where I would be able to pick up a guitar

or microphone

and play a few songs with other guest.

Just an impromptu jam session.

I wasn't able to make it because my daughter

and her family was coming into town,

from the state of

New York,

to see me

and I haven't seen her in over six years.

But the offer did get me thinking.

Thinking about what

Bruce Springsteen

 once called those

"Glory Days."

I played in a couple of bands with the

Professor

who teaches at

Bowie State.

He dressed like a professor,

back in the day,

at our gigs too!

Wearing a pulled over sweater,

while I tried many personas,

like the punk rocker with the spike wrist band,

sometimes spiked dog collar,

and a

Green Beret

hat.

We were good at times

and bad some other times,

but we always had fun.

"Glory Days!"

Do The Research

What computer driven device cannot be

Hack?
None!
They all can be hacked.

Now,

if you are a

Android

user,

you may

or may not know about the

HummingBad Malware.

This malware effects

10 Million Android Devices

already

and millions are at risk.

The

Hacker Group,

who came up with the malware is out of

China

and are called

Yingmob.

If you think you are safe with an

iPhone,

think again.

They are suspected of the

iOS

malware,

Yispecter.

Which effects millions of devices already.

What can you do about it?

Do the research because the article I was reading didn't have an answer.

It Was Surreal

"The true story about the only time I was ever in a bar fight. Actually, I never swung at anyone, but there was a bar fight going on all around me."

Number Four on our Countdown is;
