The Bag Lady

Black is the color for our justice system when a crybaby sits on a witness stand and professes innocence in the shooting of three people, two of them dead, one horribly injured, with a semi automatic rifle. Video actually shows him deliberately running into the fray to do so…yet he is white, so acquitted. There is no gray area here, he is obviously guilty.

This is what the protests and riots are about. This has not been remedied. This is blatant prejudice which we as a nation are so guilty of. I cannot imagine the feelings of the victims’ families now. The judge should be ashamed and taken off the bench.

I would not be surprised to see a follow up news article that Rittenhouse has been shot himself. After a while people get tired of no justice and the results cause more violence.

Blustering winds

Cheyenne winter has begun

Pampas grass remnants flying

Joining autumn’s dry leaves

Shed this season, ready for snow.

Being the life of the party, Joe was a popular guy at work. If anyone seemed down for any reason, Joe could cheer them up. Behind this persona, the real Joe was a lonely man, had no children to brighten his off work hours and a miserable home life with a woman who no longer loved him.

When Joe came home in the evening he tried to maintain that false identity. It culminated in a depression that his mind couldn’t handle. The problem with a mask is sometimes you forget to take it off.

Share Your World – 11-19-18

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and I clarify that we do not do shopping on black friday. Our day after T is setting up the Christmas tree and other decorations. It’s usually a quick visit from out of town loved ones and we spend it together at home. We are all very thankful when we’re able to be together.

1. Since I have new apartment neighbors on an early 4 am schedule, I’m automatically awake at four and go to bed around ten.

2. I write here on the blog. I read, watch movies and play a couple of word games. I love games in general and play Scrabble, Trivia, Sorry and lots of card games; also teaching my grandson Canasta. I am lucky at cards! If anyone has opinions, they don’t share them. ; )

3. I would ask, “didn’t I see you in “Happy Feet”?”

4. Never. However, I’m unduly influenced since I just watched the movie”Life” last night. Is it just me or is every movie scientist discovering alien beings just plain stupid? Sorry, I need coffee before I speak.

I had a fun time with family this weekend and for that I am always grateful.

Have a great week and give thanks – it makes you and everyone else feel great!

As November darkens the daylight

Harvest moons shine

Tired broken cornstalks cast eerie shadows

Odd pumpkins not chosen lay rotting in the field

Frost covers the last greenery

Small animals forage for storing

Soon all will be dusted with snow.

The tempo quiets as the last dish is cleared and the grunge of cleanup begins. The mostly male visitors avouch their status sleepily stretched out on the sofa and recliners digesting their over indulgence of turkey. This scene will continue until the final football game is over and people begin packing up their early Christmas presents for their journey home. The start of the holidays begins, anticipating the old year’s end.

Freddy Cannon recorded Palisades Park in 1962. I remember dancing to it, but the writer’s name might bring back a few memories, Chuck Barris😊

Charles Hirsch Barris was an American game show creator, producer, and host. Barris was known for hosting The Gong Show and creating The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game. He was also a songwriter who wrote “Palisades Park”, recorded by Freddy Cannon. Wikipedia

A frosty morning save

Is the warm and creamy crave

Only way to survive

Is the latte I imbibe.
