Morning Peeps,
Keep Calm and Soldier On
QOTD: HOW MANY TIMES YOU GONNA DIE?
Historybook: Coaching legend Dean Smith born (1931); Record 106 million people watch series finale of "M*A*S*H" (1983); Gulf War ends (1991); HBD basketball star Luka Dončić (1999); RIP actress Jane Russell (2011).
If you treat every situation as a life and death matter, you'll die a lot of times.
- Dean Smith

It takes all KINDS...
“I’ve lived in Florida my whole life,” Gordon said after washing sauce from his hands and beard. “They’re calling these ‘events.’ I’m calling this (expletive) Tuesday afternoon.”

SOUPY SALES DAY
Okay, new idea...Let's work on benefitting each other.
Each day we'll designate someone on COSO to receive one dollar bill from each member.
Oh what the Hell, I'll be the first designee, just to make it easy on ya.
Address follows:
"The greatest thing that we can do is to help somebody know that they're loved and capable of loving."

WE GIVE THE MEDIA A FREE PASS WAY TOO OFTEN
The Tale of Two Cartoons
“After getting trounced by Donald Trump in her home state, Nikki Haley’s refusal to quit may destroy her political future and take the Never Trumpers with her.”-GV
“Nikki Haley must have a lot of extra money to burn. Her billionaire backers have walked away from her and she is staying in the race for at least another week. Sounds like a waste of time and money to me.”-KAL
ON this date in 1951 - The 22nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, limiting U.S. Presidents to two terms.
Senators Bun Man and Mr. Purple were gravely disappointed this amendment did not go further and limit Congressmen also to two terms.
Can you imagine how much better we would be today if we stopped this entitlement for Congress persons?
Like this if you think all these people should have limited terms.
ON this date in 1981 - Chrysler Corporation was granted an additional $400 million in federal loan guarantees.
Chrysler had posted a loss of $1.7 billion in 1980.
US Senators Bun Man and Mr. Purple voted in favor of this action as they were statesmen, and they knew sometimes you throw good money after bad to turn it into good.
Just as sometimes you throw caution to the wind in relationships, and it comes back ten-fold.
We're HUMANS; it's what we do!!
JUST A THOUGHT...
Is it just me or did all my many social media friends have their birthdays in February?
Must have been a lot of June screwin' over the years...
oh snap! New festival idea...
THE JUNE SCREW FESTIVAL...
Now that's an idea whose time has come!!
When Bun Man inquired about the extent of the transfer, a chief Nigerian civil servant told him "Dude, what's the big deal, you're American, right?
All you do is change the first name of a Clinton or a Bush when you transfer power; don't make it seem like this power transfer charade happens only in Africa."
Bun Man and Mr. Purple suddenly got the hypocrisy of it all...
2/2
Hypocritic Oath...
ON this date in 1999 - Nigeria returned to civilian rule when Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo became the country's first elected president since August of 1983.
UN observers Bun Man and Mr. Purple were in Nigeria to watch the peaceful transfer of power.
Bun Man was taken aback a bit when the power transfer simply involved the General taking off his uniform and throwing on civilian clothes.

On Bended knee, I come in peace
On Bended knee, I show respect
On Bended knee, I give love
On Bended knee, I ask for your hand to walk with me
On Bended knee, I grant you the grace of equity between us
That is, unless you're Colin Kapernick
DEMOCRACY, it's a Living Thing, Up to US to keep it alive.
Morning Sharing Friends,
Ken-Dogger: Kelsey, what you doing?
Kelsey: Looking for land…
KD: Huh?
K: Yep, Nevada Governor wants to give me land to govern.
KD: Are you a tech company? The land to govern is for innovation zones.
K: Not sure I’m techie, but I’m innovative.
KD: So is this Governor looking for new opportunities to share governance.
K: Or to generate revenues…
KD: Democracy, it’s a breathing thing.
COSO HAS HELPERS
BE LIKE FRED
Historybook: Author John Steinbeck born (1902); Actress Elizabeth Taylor born (1932); Nobel Prize-winning physiologist Ivan Pavlov dies (1936); 22nd Amendment is ratified, limiting US presidents to only being elected to two terms (1951); Mister Rogers dies (2003).
"Look for the helpers."
- Fred "Mister" Rogers (quoting his mother)

MY NEW CAMPAIGN
Most of you know we lost Dixiee almost two years ago now. And with that loss, also went my heart, I never loved a dog more than that little beagle.
And now, the Mikster wants to get another dog. I'm not ready, but I'm not going to stand in her way (you just don't insert yourself into a whirlwind).
So, the campaign is on the new one's name.
I'm proposing
PAPA OH MOW MOW
Just look at all the nicknames that just scream at ya.
Thanks Peeps, I'll be here all day.
