Day
Light Twilight
The
reality is harsher. The end is near.
Without
specifics, this blog will hover near the foregone conclusion: In the last 3 years we have seen and heard it
all. Ok, not all, but what we need to
get by with. Can’t talk about it,
because this is an international blog, and have on the list of things we don’t
talk about: Politics and Religion and
Your-Pay-Check.” Looking forward to this
week, and then will just forget about it.
3 years and can’t say it hasn’t been miserable and full of
surprises. But the good part is: Next 6 weeks of Holiday Cheer. Thanksgiving and then The Holidays. Lights and Cheer and Drinking. Presents.
Well maybe.
Is
Day-Light Savings Change Day where I live.
Usually this makes me grumpy. But
as expected because we gained an hour, “…..not grumpy yet.” But I am susceptible. Mess with the light and it takes 2 weeks for
my biological clock to adjust. But lucky
for me, no stadium football game for me, as the local team plays on Monday Night. So I defer.
Will make a day and night of it tomorrow. Monday.
In the meantime, I can do as I
please.
Not
sure what that means. Am ignoring the
banner news, as its mostly hype about the Presidential Election in the United
States, and I am ignoring that and not talking about it in this blog. Restraint.
Discipline. I’ve learned my
lesson. The rest of the world will check
on it, on Tuesday night or Wednesday, but for the most part. “Who Cares?”
So
it is not a joke. Some things it is best
not to talk about in a blog. So will go
with the flow. Will let Tuesday take
care of itself, and code all this into double speak. “….how to keep the dogs away.” Becomes “Keep the dog out of the house.” “That’s an order.” And. “No
dirty shoes in the house.” Now that
should do it. Put us on notice and bring
out the Extra-Wide Banner that says on Wednesday. “…..somebody wins. Are you happy now?”
And
with that the odors to repel dogs and critters and varmints is released. Face the issue. Is anything you have been telling me for the
last 3 years been true or anywhere near the truth? Is not a joke. Have heard so much trash talk, that I am
wondering if this will be and is: The
New Norm.
Has
me going back in time. Dr.
StrangeLove and The Creature From The
Black Lagoon. Bitter truth to bite into
now. Fear Play. And not really a commercial product or a
sequel in 2016. But replay and endless
pursuit and can you really keep the dogs out of your yard or anywhere
else? Can you afford a fence. Or a Wall across the bottom of the United
States. We are cheapskates. Working Class and we have to save our shekels
for a rainy day. Or in case the Dust
Bowl comes back. We can watch video and
see what happened. Or we can watch video
and extrapolate and find a cure. Certain
things we can and can not do. Today at
the top of the list: Do Not Talk About
The American Presidential Election.
I
like dogs. I like it when we disobey. Not big on dirty shoes in the house, when I
have to mop the kitchen and clean the rugs, and change the bed rugs and sheets,
when people flop around in dirty shoes.
So Is Humane to me. No dirt in
the house. But of course nothing is dog and dirt proof. It happens.
Garbage time and is a daily task to pick up around the place. House Training and we learned such things
back in the day. 1960. Not sure what we are teaching the children in
2016 and surely after 1990 I did lose track of what the children learn at home
and school.
New
Math and Latch-Key Children, and most of America having 2 jobs, just to pay the
mortgage and rent in San Francisco and New York City. America clean and soiled, and have learned to
live with it. No escaping a common
problem. Hard to keep your hands clean,
and seeing more and more go to the dogs.
Garbage Can on its side. Trash
and garbage on the lawn and in the street.
Hungry and willing to do what it takes, to secure the next meal. People are like that also. Working to secure their next meal.
Changing
the subject. After Tuesday we won’t have
to talk about it, but some will. Mostly
will just say, “…. It’s a no-no.” And if
you forget, you go to the top of The Chore List: Mop.
Vacuum. Clean. “….Its your turn. Now take off your shoes.” Sure its revealing, and we might see who has
holes in their socks and smelly feet.
But we can deal with that. Its
just a suggestion. Remove the problem
before it gets out of hand. It is a
burning question. Who will win?
Can
we actually be dirt free. Can we hope
that in the future our leaders will not mislead us. Dirt-Free.
Honest People in the house.
Hoping for that and so much more.
Several reason to establish a few rules to live by. Deal with a few wrinkles and flaws, but don’t
let things get beyond our control.
Cosmetic fix and even more. No
dogs in the house. Forget about it. Those Dirty Shoes.
The
struggle is real. Not saying we should
all go barefoot. Not saying we shouldn’t
talk about our favorite subjects, and if you are a political-news-junking, well
then : be yourself. For me, I will be creative. Its just one blog. I can figure out a way to fix things, if
there is a problem. Mostly I am flexible
and stronger now. 3 years to determine
how to have a quality life, even as you bring the dirt into my house. Internet and some people. It happens.
Latch-Key
Children and they are home first.
Internet exchanges and is porn and dirt, but we try to limit it, best we
can. The struggle is real. And is best to understand the culture and
what we face now. Different Rules and
Ways. Even so, I have made it this
far. 3 years into having a lot brought
up in front of me, that I don’t really like.
But
I have managed to stay civil. No show of
guns or combat. Manage without a lot of
violence and bloodshed. Peaceful resolution. Like Dogs.
Love a clean house. And yes, I don’t wear my shoes in the house. But do forget to wash my hands when first
returning from being out in public.
After
Tuesday and where I live, The Election will have taken place. Might take a while to declare a winner, but I
am thinking about all I have been through over the last 3 years. Early energy and a lot of dumping. Some of it made its way into my house and
into my mind. Purge and Clean and Get
Over It.
Am
hoping to accomplish all that. And for
2017 I want to begin with a clean slate.
Take a year off for good behavior, and then if the politicians and those
kind of people want to talk about Election 2020. Its their choice. I am getting older now. Will practice selective hearing and
response. Headed for the Holidays. Cheer and Good Times. Is my destination next. Good Times.
Daylight and Twilight Ahead. Good
Luck. Time Change and am not grumpy yet.
Yeah for me.
Now send pictures. Dogs and
Shoes. 2017.
