Old guy who did a lot of stuff in his time.
They look…well, … not really journalistic.

And snickering self consciously to each other: “Hey! I’m important!”

Ketamine for breakfast will do that to you.

Honorably too.

Now that I’ve touched it off…I have to go do other things. Let’s pause the Oxbridge Debate with this; “ If You Kay’s grew up in my time, Would you have been Mods or Rockers?

Til next time.

Worse than you imagine.

I’m a Boomer Bot!

Your Evil Grandad!

But you know that.

Change your focus.

Go from micro to macro.

It helps.

Do something nice for someone else today.

Do it everyday this month.

Exactly.

But do you think he would have been elected in 1960?

If you want to care, you will.

If not keep loyal to your beliefs and good luck.

I sure have set off a Trans Atlantic Pity Party!

No debate.

You win!

Keep on trucking!

If you want to care you will.

If you don’t it’s a bitter ride.

It’s up to you. But you know that.

The US is not monolithic.

But you know that.

You live in a physical space but you also live in your head.

If you want it to be worse? Guess what?

You’re going to feel better whenever you choose.

There’s no instruction manual.

But you already know that.
December 3, 2025 at 12:43 PM
You know how to become “woke?”

You wake up.
December 3, 2025 at 12:41 PM
I know you’ve heard this: “Life’s hard.”

You pay your own energy bills. And you have to figure out how.

You want to live in Self Pityville? OK, but it’s overpopulated.

Try changing your focus.

Just saying.

My cursed rubric is this social media app.

The fact that we have a dialogue is proof enough.

In 1955, if you had a beef, you’d write a letter to the editor.

Maybe 100 people would read it.

Here your words spur people to do something.

Evidence?

Ask Obama.

Ask any elected woman in legislature.

Do you know any kid who has been drafted into the military?

Ever driven on an Interstate Highway?

Ever smelled leaded gasoline fumes?

Seen Bodycam footage?

Tough today?

You bet!

Better?

Yo bet!

When I was a kid there were 1.9 billion people on the planet. Today… 8 plus.

It hasn’t been easy. As a matter of fact it was a grind.

But it’s “most def” better.

But you’ll figure it out.

If you want to.

“Woke” comes after you “Wake the Fuck Up!”
December 3, 2025 at 12:17 PM
Now you have me wondering what Cheryl Hine’s prenuptial agreement details?

Oooo! Dee-Lish!

Strawberry fields, where nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about…

The “Guard.”

Remember, Pete came out of the Guard.

It’s best work is disaster relief.
