Too Good to Be True

Each day, as part of my morning routine, I check into Facebook, catch up on notifications, visit a few of my favorite groups and usually find myself pissed off at someone or something said or seen on Facebook.  Expressions such as “are you kidding me?”, “unbelievable”, “this is really dumb” are frequently said, if not audibly then in my mind.  I wondered for a while how social media (read Facebook) could possibly have an impact on our elections.  But then, I soon realized that it is so obvious that so many Facebook users will believe anything they read in the app it would be quite easy to influence many with fake news and articles. In my opinion, Facebook is becoming a dangerous place. Here is why.

Happy New Year Y’all

Well, we made it!  Another year gone by and still alive and kicking.  Admittedly not kicking quite as hard as in preceding years but kicking, nonetheless.  And that is a good thing.  So, today is not only an anniversary date for the world as we begin another year but is an anniversary for my Wife who was born on New Years Day!  Happy Birthday to my Wife Vicki!  She probably won’t read this, but I would be remiss in not at least extending the wish.  Oh, let us not forget, there is yet another Anniversary to remember.

Merry Every Day!

Christmas for 2019 has come and gone.  Wow, that was quick.  I know that some folks enjoy an extended Christmas season.  Some based on their religious preferences enjoy the Christmas season on into the first week of January.  But not at our house.  The boss lady, who loves Christmas and enjoys every minute of preparing for the big day is completely done with it by the end of Christmas Day.  By 4:00 pm on the day after Christmas there was no sign of Christmas anywhere in our home.  The tree was disassembled and boxed, the decorations were all packed up, and all the furniture was returned to the original locations.  So, I guess that is the end of Christmas.  But does it really have to be?

Christmas May Be Cancelled!

Reports have been coming in from the North Pole that there are serious issues developing between Santa Clause and certain factions of the Christmas Elves that may put the Christmas toy distribution project in jeopardy.  Threats of an attempt coup of the Santa Organization have surfaced.   Although it is unclear of the source of the information, it may have been received from an elf known only as Whistler.  Whistler has made some serious allegations against the integrity of Santa Clause and has stated that his entire administration of the North Pole enterprise is rife with corruption.  Santa has sequestered himself in the deepest recesses of the Toy Factory and is frantically checking his lists, not only once, but twice.
