I have been so ashamed of my country…. We are assaulting protesting citizens on the street, and those who only want to go to work! Some are only guilty of being a minority! And some who are U.S. citizens. But that doesn’t stop those well-armed, masked, and with no openly displayed signs of being authorizedContinue reading “Can;t Remember When…”

I remember flying from Hartford, Conn., home to Maine for Christmas when I was 18 and working at Hartford Fire Insurance Co., and the price for the trip was $20, and I got a meal! Also, when the refreshment cart was wheeled up the aisle, there was room on either side to walk by toContinue reading “I Remember When…continued again”

The Evening News was just that! Does anyone but me remember voices of Walter Cronkite, David Brinkley, Dan Rather, Edward R. Murrow, and let’s not forget Leslie Stahl, Barbara Walters. I remember the announcement of the end of World War 2 on September 2nd, 1945. I was 5 years old. I remember the Red Cent,Continue reading “I Remember When…continued”

When, as an adult, you bought a bottle of aspirin and, after a hard day and a pounding headache, you decided to open that bottle. It took just a couple of seconds to unscrew the cap and pop a couple into your mouth. A swallow later, your headache was already better! Not so today!

That “good old Doc” could put a leg or arm in a cast, put three or more stitches in a cut. Some even had X-ray machines. And theyContinue reading “I Remember When…”

Being a kid was FREE! We stayed outdoors playing games until it was dark. That was a hard and fast rule. The games were kick the can, hide and seek, baseball, and basketball, if someone was lucky enough to have a store-bought net. If not, we made do with what we had available. The rulesContinue reading “I remember when…”

Let’s categorize the failings of life since the BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL! So far, it has been a raging success! The one thing it has produced, is more RAGE for the people to chew on and they are raging about being cheated, on a daily basis. Jobs ain’t there! Taxes are going up! Prices are goingContinue reading “Here we go!”

There are so many things that bug me that my mind is a little jumbled. If this is your state of mind, you could join the club?! That is the old fart’s club (unable to understand the “why”) club!” Why are people complaining that food prices are going up every day? You voted for thatContinue reading “I don’t know where to start!”
