WEATHER; HOT, HIGH HUMIDITY, 72/93 DEGREES

 

WELL I’VE HEARD THE DEMOCRATS NOW I’LL LISTEN TO THE REPUBLICANS! FOR OPENERS MY YOUNGEST SON SENT ME AN E-MAIL THAT I’LL SHARE WITH YOU: MCCAIN MADE ONE OF THE BONE-HEAD MOVES OF ALL TIME.  HE HAD KAY BAILEY HUTCHISON CRYING TO BE ON HIS TICKET, AND HE IGNORED HER.  I THINK HIS ONLY REASON FOR NOT PICKING KBH WAS BECAUSE SHE'S FROM TEXAS AND HE'S TRYING TO DISTANCE HIMSELF FROM BUSH.  GUESS HE DOESN'T LIKE BEING THOUGHT OF AS GEORGE 3RD.  YOU REMEMBER HIM.  HE WAS THE KING WE DEFEATED 230 YEARS AGO IN THE REVOLUTION. I’D LIKE TO ADD, THESE ARE MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY! NOW WE’LL JUST HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHO’S RIGHT!

MOM’S GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO TOWN AGAIN TOMORROW TO TAKE THE GRANDDAUGHTER TO PICK UP HER MEDICINE! IT SEEMS LIKE THE TAPS BUS DOESN’T RUN ON SATURDAY OR SUNDAY! I’M A LITTLE CONFUSED, THIS SERVICE IS PROVIDED BY THE CITY AND STATE AND PEOPLE HAVE TO GO PLACES ON THOSE DAYS AS WELL AS MONDAY THRU FRIDAY! THAT’S GOING TO BE ABOUT A 25 MILE ROUND TRIP OR, 1+ GALLONS OF GAS AT $3.50 A GALLON! SHE DOESN’T MIND DOING IT BUT IT SURE DOES EAT INTO A FIXED INCOME FAST!

AS I SAID IN MY LAST CHRONICLE I’M GOING TO R&D TO GET A USED MAP SENSOR TODAY! I FIGURE IF THE ONE ON THE CAR GIVES ONE READING THEN A DIFFERENT ONE SHOULD GIVE A DIFFERENT READING WHICH COULD VERY WELL BE THE RIGHT READING AND I’LL BE ABLE TO TELL BY DRIVING THE CAR BACK FROM R&&D!

NOW, HERE’S SOMETHING FOR YOU WIVES TO REALLY THINK ABOUT

TRADITIONAL ROLES

SEVERAL YEARS BEFORE THE GULF WAR, A FEMALE JOURNALIST DID A STORY ON GENDER ROLES IN KUWAIT. SHE NOTED THAT THERE IT WAS CUSTOMARY FOR WOMEN TO WALK 10 FEET BEHIND THEIR HUSBANDS.

AFTER THE WAR, SHE RETURNED TO KUWAIT AND WAS PLEASED TO OBSERVE THAT NOW THE MEN WALKED 10 FEET BEHIND THEIR WIVES. SHE APPROACHED A WOMAN AT THE AIRPORT AND ASKED, "WHAT ENABLED KUWAITI WOMEN TO ACHIEVE THIS ROLE REVERSAL?"

THE KUWAITI WOMAN REPLIED, "LAND MINES."

THAT’S “30” FOR THIS ISSUE
