Posting about the Clinton vacation spots reminded me of my favorite Concert...Carly Simon on Martha's Vineyard...

Carly had a hell of a lot of charisma back in the day. Carly is 2 years younger than my oldest brother.

I believe the Concert was about 30 years ago...

seems like yesterday.

And I have never been to Martha's Vineyard

Hillary's Cribs Shock Young People

It's a little bit misleading because the really Big beach houses in the Hamptons Bill & Hillary do not own, they just rent them for their vacations @ $50,000 per week.

Hillary & Bill do own the $1.7million home in NY, which the current Gov of Va loaned them the $$$ to buy back in 1999...so it is probably worth considerably more today.

And the NY home is protected by the Secret Service... so Hillary's computer/Server could not possibly be tampered with...

 Bill & Hillary do own the $5.7million townhouse in DC...

which they bought when Hillary became a Senator & Bill finally started making some Real money...

all natural, not taking a deep breath...

But the real question is... how many Dogs do they own?

 and how many Secret Service Agents does it take to walk all the dogs?

Fort Carson Colorado came up three times this week in conversation.

It is where I turned 21 and learned to carry my guitar around rocks.

Joe White installed a new gas heater on the back porch today

Poppy seems very contented

Room temp @ 8:30 PM was 78.

Poppy says he will come to learn the temp control settings in due time...

Don't be fooled! Even when you Rent you may have to shovel.

Since last Saturday I have called Building Maintenance at least 16 times! No response.

So, since Monday I have been shoveling my way out...

I am making progress

Even my sneakers are covered in Snow!

God only knows what my car looks like at this point.

Denmark & Pepper Spray...

Where is Denmark in the scheme of things?

Oh.

TJ accompanied me to my VA visit today, said he had nothing more Fun to do.

I found him in the coffee lounge chatting up a few 101st Screaming Eagle guys. I know they were certified Screaming Eagles 'cause they had Hats & Vests & Patches & tattoos to prove it.

Anyway, TJ had no coffee in the lounge area because they served Starbucks.

And Starbucks coffee TJ does not like.

So from the Lebanon VA we called Blaze & he met us for lunch

at the Crackle Barrel

Edward had never been there before & I had to talk

him out of buying a Rocking Chair!

Eddie thought the Cracker Barrel was 'cozy'.

I did speak to Susan later in the day.

Susan likes the fact that I enjoy playing cards

& she challenged me to a game of Rummy!

Ironically, I spent 2 days last week teaching

Maeve the game so I am well schooled.

Finally, I messed up when Susan asked where we ate Lunch today

and I said...

Crate & Barrel

Susan asked me if Eddie bought her anything.

I pretended that my jitterbox phone was out of range.

The day after the day before

Time to fire up the Weber

and enjoy some Aldi fresh perk @ $5.49 per 2lb can!

Near as I can tell through my binocs there are only two people that have shoveled their car out on Blossom Hill!

The NRA Member that lives at the bottom of The Hill...

And Shirley, Timmy's next door Seasoned Citizen neighbor.

Doesn't matter 'cause The main road on Blossom Hill has not been plowed  as yet.

Any possible 2016 Pool Party has been cancelled!

We figure the snow will still be here...

Deepest snowfall I have ever seen!

And it's still snowing

WOW! WHO KNEW?

Krimpit & Tootsie were given a fair shot at their tryout for the Lititz Dog sled Team. Sadly, they did not make the Team.

Here is a Photo of The Official Lititz Rescue Dog Sled Team

ladies & gentlemen...!

what could go wrong with this group?

Meanwhile...Timmy says the Coach had something against Krimpit.

Maureen says it's Timmy's fault they didn't make the Team

'cause Timmy never volunteers for anything in the Community!

More Kudos to Aldi

If you have Grandkids that love snacks & they break your budget on cookies, consider this:

This is like a pound of cream filled chocolate/vanilla

cream filled cookies that don't taste nearly as good as Orios

but they only cost $1.25 per bag at Aldi.

All the grandkid wants is a snack!

Throw the Benton's at them!

If your grandkids Yuppie Parents tell you

that Aldi is a sub-par Market let them know

that Aldi owns Trader Joe's

Remember back when we had no warning it was going to Snow?

Someone would wake up first, look outside & Scream..."It snowed last night!"

and we would all go Nuts....there was no Phone Network! no school closing hot-line.

Yes, we all attended School before weather Satellites:

Before...

Electric Guitars

Television for some of us

Automatic transmssions

Electric typewriters

Jet Airplanes

Atom/Hydrogen bombs

Walmart

Snow Blowers

Plows

Moon walkers

Cell phones

White out

Microsoft

Amazon

The Kardashians

and other things

I think Blair knows all this and is wondering...

"why did my Mom even put me in this photo with these Old People?"

But if you remember, Blair's Dad, Captain Scotty, was the Photographer

and he had the benefit of a Tri-pod to keep his camera aim steady.

An obvious Flaming Liberal guy named Jack politically spews on Facebook & my bro applauds him...and I am shut out...

I would have responded directly to Jack's Post but I was not able to.

This is what Jack said about Sarah Palin endorsing Donald Trump..."How could even a certified lowbrow like Trump -who already has 87% of the Moron Vote sewed up -think this was anything but a Yuge-ly Bad Idea? The Donald looked embarrassed as Sarah Palin tortured the Mother Tongue once again in her patented nails-on-a-blackboard screech.
Even the Trumpster couldn't hide his "WTF?" Thought Balloons as soon as she opened her mouth.
The use of subtitles might've helped some as she redefined Syntax as we know it, spewing an undigested gumbo of mixed metaphors and undercooked "talking points" all over an adoring throng of willfully ignorant knuckle-draggers and mouth-breathers. Smart move, Donald. The Party of Lincoln? Lord have mercy..."

 so that was Jack's rant... no hate there...right? Jack does not seem to want to get along with people
that do not agree with his view of the political landscape.

Jack appears to be a Hillary or Bernie supporter. Oh boy...

Recently got a snail mail note from my oldest grandchild.

Justin thanked me for the Christmas card I sent him.

It is kind of neat to get a hand written note from someone you know.

So I hand wrote a note to Justin in response.

I will mail it tommorrow.

Maybe this will be the start of something?

Justin is a really cool kid and there are a lot of Topics to correspond about.

Only thing I have to do on Wednesday is return my three books to the Library and then I can do whatever...

A major winter storm will hit the eastern United States with the potential for heavy snow to impact more than 50 million people at the end of the week.

Areas from Charleston, West Virginia, and Roanoke, Virginia, to Washington, D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York City and Boston could receive heavy snow from the storm.

I never did buy those snow chains.

The Yuppies are lined up outside of the AutoZone for "textile" snow chains! I kid you not!

Philly, Pa., N.J. all now in states of emergency

so wussy.

It is very cold & windy outside

Time is running out...

and that Lazy old Sun just rolls around heaven all day...

16 degrees Farenheight @ 10PM

we need to Stop the Sun from rollin' round heaven!

That is the Biggest threat facing Mankind!

We need more freezing temperatures!

and more cold weather.

We need to leave those Fossil fuels in the ground.

Wind Power & Solar are the way to go

I want to fill my gas tank with the Wind & the Sun!

We had a 28 year old Laborer visit today

Construction work & hard labor is for younger people, he said.

Can't do this kind of work for more than a couple of years, he said.

Somebody asked him what he would do if he quit Laboring.

He said he would go to school and learn computer coding.

I joined Aramark @ 51. It was hard labor.

My Boss actually called Pepsi Mike & asked Mike if his Bro was physically capable of doing the job.

Michael said, "Hell Yea"

I needed the Teamsters Health Care Plan at the time

and it was a really good one.

I was also attracted to the Fact that you could get a Pension

after just 5 years. I lasted 7 years.

So I now have a very bad back and a

Pension (& bro & sister-in-law) that are good.

28 y.o. laborers are clueless...

Just a little bit of Politics & a Hillary bobble-head moment...

If you have the Time...

Me & TJ replaced the ballast on the Fish Tank light & I really like the difference

The tank has been dark for way too long.

It took a lot of re-wiring.

Red wires/blue wires/blackwires

"We" reconfigured everything

It was very confusing...

but we now have a Bright Tank!

TJ did the splicing

I held the flaslight

Ballast...ballast...ballast.

It's all about a working Ballast

Lenny Dawson @ Halftime @ the first Super Bowl

A smoke & a Fresca

and then back at it...

Who knew? JT can strum a guitar! and a Good song it is.

One of my High School teammates died a few weeks ago

Jack Osborne, I knew him as Ozzie.

The leader of 'The Chinese Bandits' (an insider thing)

I post this Ozzie photo because his family posted a really bad photo of him in his Obituary.

I also post the photo because the caption says that Ozzie was being guarded here by Paul McDowell.

And Paul McDowell would be the father-in-law to my Son Sam.

I know it is a really bad photo but it was taken 51 years ago!

And since I have Michael's 1964 scrapbook open I will post this photo...

Those white boys are scattering...

Soaring & Scoring!
