Growing older bids a warning
Hold onto railings in the morning
Stairs, if you can navigate at all
Can sometimes result in a fall
Sounds ridiculous you say
You’re still spry in every way!
Your blood pressure’s fine
Can skip down steps on a dime
But early morning eyes can fault
Resulting in an unexpected vault.

Don’t be so nervous! They’ll be coming by around three and we have plenty of time to bag up these leaves.
I know, dear, but the magnitude of leaves this year is unprecedented! 2020 has been such a strange worrisome year, even the trees are losing their hair!

Watched this yesterday, loved it. Rated PG, great for the whole family! A true story, and my favorite character is Eddie, played by Josh Flitter.

Man oh man, mum’s the word, a mantra for mothers “melodic voices please”.
Not my best effort, but my stream of conscience is slim to none today. Still not feeling up to par, not sleeping, and today starts the restrictions for my lovely procedure coming up. I feel like Charlie Brown kicking the football. . .
When was it, exactly, that I lost complete control of my life?

Think about it – over 100,000 acres – (156 square miles) – in one day.

He turned his chest in the direction of the car. His thumb clicked the button in his pocket. “Got it” he thought to himself. “Just a couple more, to make sure”.
The hidden camera in his oversized necklace clicked twice more. Luckily, the needed portrait of the perpetrator was accomplished without his knowing. “You would think he was a bit nonchalant, looking out the window of the getaway vehicle”, John thought.
It worked out well for John, member of the undercover police, dressed in local garb for this assignment. “Enjoy freedom while it lasts”. Smiling, John returned to the precinct.

TRUMP: Nobody has done more for the Black community than Donald Trump. And if you look, with the exception of Abraham Lincoln, possible exception, but the exception of Abraham Lincoln, nobody has done what I’ve done.
President Trump has repeatedly made this untrue claim. The president and his allies point to his support for programs such as “opportunity zones,” his use of his clemency powers and his support for legislation that makes it easier for federal prisoners to be released early.
The president also has consistently shown hesitance when asked to condemn white supremacy. He also has questioned the existence of systemic racism and has barred racial sensitivity training for federal employees and contractors. Trump used offensive language to describe Haiti and many African nations. Trump’s now-estranged former attorney claimed the president frequently uses racist language in his private conduct. All of this has alarmed many Black voters and other members of communities of color. And the claim that he’s the best president for Black America with the “possible exception” of Abraham Lincoln is factually incorrect.

A person who constantly refers to himself by his name, i.e. “Donald Trump did” should get your attention immediately. Constantly comparing himself to Abraham Lincoln? Lies unlimited is his mantra.

Thank heavens for the mute button!
How now ground round
With only veggies used
Add some beets for a color ruse
Onions, carrots, maybe some spinach?
How many veggies are actually in it?
I must admit I love a good burger
But veggie ones need to develop further
So how now ground round
Shall I try a turkey?
No soy for me, that’s just malurkey
How now answer? Pick the leanest
Dress it up, you know what I meanest
Don’t cook too long, add some zest
You’ll barely miss all the fatty mess.

Of course now I’m craving a great one from Two Doors Down.
