“IT TAKES A WORRIED MIND TO SING A WORRIED SONG”*

 

Our Hero, who was running for President of the U.S.A. and the Leadership of the House…has been Photo-shopped out of this picture – aka: ‘Hacked’. This goes to show that not only Hearing  (such things as various theories abounding) is no longer believing; but Seeing is no longer believing, either. What is next? Soon we will not be able to trust our own noses. Anyway, our Hero has given up on running for the President position – suspecting too much foul play by the losers. These are crazy & worrying times, no? Actually, the picture above seems pretty nice without any candidates in it.

ODDS WITHOUT ENDS:

  • There is a complicated mathematical proposition called a “Catastrophy Theory” in which it is stated that a small event can lead to huge endings…Such as slipping on some scree could cause an avalanche somewhere else…or, the flapping of a butterfly’s wing could cause a wind-storm somewhere…since this has to do with Mathematics it might be above your intellectual ability to grasp…but my thought is: What if instead of a small event happening a Major, Bigly event occurs  – and what could it lead to? …Like a crazy man getting elected President of the United States…that would lead to more than a wind-storm, let me tell you. You do the math – and I want credit for the theory.
  • I read “Morning People” most likely inherited the trait of being able to accomplish a great deal right after they wake up, by their having been descended from Neanderthals. I am not a morning person, so I must have descended from the Adam and Eve line.
  • When I was even younger than I am now, if you were to travel outside the U.S. to Mexico, or to Europe, for example…enquiring minds would ask you “Is it safe to drink the water there?” But today, the question to be asked is – if you were traveling to America, which includes places like  Detroit, Dallas, Miami – you name it: “Is it safe to drink the water?’ What happened? What in the world have we done? Here is a political campaign for you: MAWGA – Make American Water Great Again.
  • Questions no sane person would ask: If Time is Money, does that mean Money is Time? and is Crypto Money?  And is it Time to buy Crypto? If Crypto is not Money, what is it? Do people with more Money have more Time, or less Time because they do not have enough Time to enjoy it all? Would Crypto take Time to understand, or do you not need to understand it if you had the Money? What Time do the Emergency doors open at the insane asylum – and are the services covered by Obama Care – or can you pay in Crypto?
  • There are generations of Real Americans out there who do not know who Jabba the Hut is, or Luke Skywalker, let alone Captain Midnight, or Tonto,  or The Shadow…No wonder we can’t talk to each other anymore and get along on the simplest of subjects like: “What is Fair?” and “Is it ok to cheat, if  cheating helps you win?” and “Do only some people have to obey the rules?” Kemosahbe had the answers to all those questions.

A few quotes:

  • “Money often costs too much.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • “Don’t tell me where your priorities are. Show me where you spend your money and I’ll tell you what they are. -James W. Frick
  • “Time is money.” -Benjamin Franklin
  • “It takes a worried man to sing a worried song/ I’m worried now, but I won’t be worried long.” -Either by Ralph Stanley, or Woody Guthrie

That’s all the time we have for this, this week…and a fond “Hello” to Audie Murphy, wherever you are.
