The nightly news TV broadcast #1 story is about a student who refused to leave a high school classroom. A school policeman forcibly removed the student and is now facing Federal Investigation for civil rights violations. Really? I don’t know what happened prior to the encounter but the student was “disruptive”. Here we go! When I was a kid, if I was disruptive in a class I didn’t have to worry about getting disciplined by the teacher (we didn’t have officers patrolling the halls). I had to worry about my dad “kicking the sh–” out of me for mis-behaving.
Grandson Mitchell’s high school football team lost in the first round of the Wisconsin State playoffs. The game was decided by errors. Where have I heard the “coaches lament” before. Hang on to the ball. Minimize the mistakes. Focus! In the end, it was a great year for Mitchell’s team. They are Conference Champions. We can only dream of what might have been if the team hadn’t made mistakes
I need to worry about meat causing cancer. The World Health Organization (WHO) says tests indicate bacon, processed meats, wieners, and yep, steaks are all dangerous. Now what do I eat?
Grasshopper No.2 says that banning guns is a diversion. The world needs to ban forks. The forks feed our face, cause us to eat too much and are much more dangerous to your health than guns. Forks should not be a problem because all the foods we like and dislike are dangerous cancer causing agents. There is nothing left to eat! Now what do I do?
We got a new mattress from Amazon. It ships in a box. It weighs 100 pounds. It is about the size of a golf bag (the container is small and oblong). The secret is that the mattress is vacuum wrapped for shipment. When the vacuum wrap is released, it is like pulling the string on a girdle. The mattress expands to normal size. Fun to watch.
Love,
Dad
