Morning Peeps,

Circa 2018...

The fact that the RNC is in bed with this 'fake news BS' is even more damning, now you have a political party aiding and abetting the destruction of American Democracy and its institutions...

5 YEARS AND COUNTING, THIS IS NO LONGER A TREND, IT IS A TRAIT!!

A TRAIT OF TRAITORS

Jenny's Canyon, a local slot canyon in Snow Canyon State Park...this hike is only about .5 miles, but slot canyons are cool.

Later Peeps,

Enjoy your day...

Mikster has Stamp Club today, so the KID is free...

That said, I did put a dose of GOLF in my day at Coral Canyon.

It's nice to have golfing friends who invite you out from being a shut-in.

Hehehe

Peace Love Dove GOLF Peeps

Historybook: Benjamin Franklin born (1706); Actress Betty White born (1922); Muhammad Ali born (1942); UN Security Council holds its first meeting (1946); Former first lady Michelle Obama born (1964).

"He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life."

ON this date in 1961 - Speechwriters Bun Man and Mr. Purple foretold a compelling argument in U.S. President Eisenhower's farewell address.

Eisenhower warned against the rise of "the military-industrial complex."

The Boys were certain a free-market economy would not be held in check if government didn't maintain a watchdog role.

How prophetic they were...

ON this date in 1893 - Hawaii's monarchy was overthrown when a group of businessmen and sugar planters forced Queen Liliuokalani to abdicate.

The final straw had been when the Queen was proposing a royal marriage to Bun and Purple's best surfer bud, Duke CumonIwannalayya.

The Boyz always thought the resistance was because the Duke was a surfer...

ON this date in 1913 - All partner interests in 36 Golden Rule Stores were consolidated and incorporated in Utah into one company.

The new corporation was the J.C. Penney Company.

Patrons Bun Man and Mr. Purple used to love the Golden Rule Stores because their customer service was so darn good--treating your customer as you yourself would want to be treated.

Shame that when the company changed to JCP, it lost that focus and ultimately its customer base.

This would become known as the advent of Reality TV."

Mr. Purple chimed in "Yea, we didn't realize it until it was too late; someone should have brought the Bravo Channel under control a lot sooner..."

Then I said "...And miss all those Housewives shows, are you kidding me?"

The Boyz, initially stunned by my comment, finally saw me smirking...

ON this date in 1994 - Donny Osmond fought the Partridge Family's Danny Bonaduce in a charity boxing match in Chicago, IL.

Bonaduce won a split decision.

Reading this, Bun Man turned to me and P and said "I remember this period in TV History...

Ken-Dogger: Hey Shep, what ya doin'?
Shep: Streets full of people, all alone
Roads full of houses, never home
Church full of singing, out of tune
Everyone's gone to the moon
KD: Wha...you dreamin'?
S: Eyes full of sorrow, never wet
Hands full of money, all in debt
Sun coming out in the middle of June
Everyone's gone to the moon
KD: You're right, Long time ago, Life had begun
Everyone went to the sun, now not so sure...

Ken-Dogger: Hey Rascal, Katie got you in her grip?
Rascal: When blackness was a virtue, and the road was full of mud, I came in from the wilderness, come in, she said, I'll give you shelter from the storm
KD: How did you know Katie was gonna give you shelter?
R: Not a word was spoken between us, there was little risk involved
KD: So, you imagined a place where it’s always safe and warm
R: Righto Dogger, she gives me shelter from the storm
KD: And that’s all you need…

BW would have been 102 today

HB2U Betty White...

Snuggles: 2000, zero, zero, party over, oops, out of time.
Ken-Dogger: Snuggles, Prince this early?
S: So tonight, I’m gonna party like it’s 1999.
KD: What is up?
S: Bro, it’s for Betty…
KD: Betty, what Betty?
S: Betty White, she’s 1999 today.
KD: Snuggles, she’s 99…sheesh
S: Okay, okay, I was a little off.
KD: Rough order of magnitude of a thousand years…
S: Estimation – it’s a dying art.

"True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice."

Morning @Mandypar

I"m BACK...

Second sleep session is always divine

How's the day thus far?

0225 here, returning to slumber...

See ya on the flip side.

Gil Scott-Heron said it best...

You will not be able to stay home, brother.
You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and
skip out for beer during commercials,

Because the revolution will not be televised.

Technology Tip...

sometimes you're louder on the phone than you realize, was talking to a buddy of mine about the weekend and I said "So, you're allowed to be alone with little boys again?"

...all eyes behind the Truck Store Service Center counter darted my way...

I was just thinking mergers for some reason...

Suppose Lyft and Uber combined their services for consumers...

We could call the new entity...

Hiking today...

Maybe if US History Teachers hadn't just taught us the SAFE HISTORY, we might more fully understand the acrimony we are experiencing was actually part and parcel of daily life in the post-Civil War period in America.

Non-violent elections are a 21st Century phenomenon.
