When I was at the shore recently, Kelly asked what the sunscreen was that my Derm recommended


The Doc said that sunscreen should include Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide.

I asked her why the popular brands do not include these ingredients. She said it was because they are too expensive. She provided me with two different brands:


Vanicream contains both ingredients

Solbar Zinc has 7.5% zinc

.....no problem....


Brynn just wants to pet an Ocean Eagle...

Uncle John had Kelly enthralled in a one on one conversation at Twilight

...by the POOL...




John had Kelly in The Zone

The Stoneman also had the family
nodding their heads on the idea of selling 
Photo Calenders World Wide...


from their future base in Spain.

I looked up a couple of things about people shooting people:

Deaths in America caused by a Gun:

  • 60% of them were suicides.........ie 19,982
  • 3% were accidental.....................         990
  • 4% were justified........................      1,320
  • 33% were Homicides..................    10,840*
             *80% of Homicides were Gang Related...ie    8712
             * That leaves 2178 non Gang Related Homicides commited
                with a Gun in a country of 300million plus people.

I'm starting to see some family photos where Justin is closing in on Kelly's height


and Luke is approaching Amanda's height.



but I don't see any photos where they are approaching their
Uncle John Starr's height.

Uncle John is Kellys moms brother!
The photo is an older one of the McDowells in California.

Justin, Amanda & Luke have since grown.
Uncle John is still the same size.

Just last week I shot an AR15



Very scary stuff.  I couldn't believe how loud and how fast the bullets were.  I commented, "I would not want to be on the end of that..."


My friend shooting snakes in the pond.  The snakes eat the fish, the fish eat the algae, less algae means a healthier pond.  Thus, the reason to shoot the snakes.

This is ridiculousness personified!

Put Pete in The Hall! And also put Ichiro in The Hall when he qualifies...but Pete is The Hit King!

http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/bob-nightengale/2016/06/13/mlb-ichiro-suzuki-pete-rose-all-time-hits-leader/85836712/

The Media in Japan and some in America are trying to say that Ichiro is just 2 hits short of
Pete's record!
"Gumby Bats?"
  • Pete had 4256 hits in MLB during his 24 year career
  • Ichiro has had 2974 hits in his 15 year MLB career
But the Japanese Media & some American Media are saying that Ichiro's
1278 hits in the Japanese League should be included.




My response...?...I'm not allowed to say...PC & all.

Graduation Week! Do you think he is going to graduation or going home after graduation?


Who takes public transportation to or from graduation?

I love this kid!

We are Lucky if we hit 70 Healthy. Not many 80 year olds I know are doing that great. Other than Clint Eastwood!

So I read. in a British newspaper, that Sir Eric is having a bit of a problem. I wish him well.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/music/artists/eric-clapton-struggling-to-play-guitar-because-of-damage-to-his/

Me and Clint Eastwood have the same birth date...May 31...


Clint was born in 1930, I was born after that...

America Media really are a bunch of wusses!

American Media is afraid to report the facts. This is Media from Britain called "Online...
How did the British Media get the photos and the details & ABC/NBC/CBS did not?

Much to my chagrin, Hillary will be the next President of the USA



Cause the public has no clue, all the Power Brokers are afraid of what would become of them
if they did not back her & she were elected...

and the Media people want to continue to be invited to the  most
popular cocktail parties in Washington and schmooze with 
the likes of (fill in the blanks)

The Donald does not even own a DC Townhouse!!!


Hillary & Bill DC abode
(the secret service people are never seen)

Bill does not have the address:  a DC insider told me...


Bought a new Printer on June 10th

At Timmy's birthday lunch Eddie asked me why I would want a new Printer.

*Cause my old one no longer works

Eddie asked..."do you use your printer a lot?"

*no, but when I want to print something I want the printer to work.

Eddie asked..."does Timmy have a working printer?"

*I said yes, but I want my own printer!

Eddie paid for lunch & I told him I will print him anything.

Eddie said..."I have a printer & it works fine"

end of story

My Grandkids are packing for Spain. So I thought I would post a Spain related story...



TJ's June 10th 66th...(I witnessed most of it)

he went for a bike ride before 7AM
after the bike ride he did some gardening

with the gardening done he did some paint removal.
Then Eddie called & invited him to lunch. I went along.
It was a neat place in Mt Gretna & it cost me nothing!
Thank you Edward for Lunch!
After lunch we had to pick up the snack munchers at school.

Then Bill called Poppy to invite him to The Bulls Head for a beer
Finally Poppy ended his day when he went to the Silent Auction 
for The Knights of Columbus.

and I have no clue what the Silent Auction
was selling, nor what time TJ/Poppy got home.

Pea is for Phashion...aka 'casual elegance'


In May, UnderArmor came out with the
Steph Curry line...
 By early afternoon, the Curry MVP Back 2 Back Pack, including shoes Curry wore in each MVP season, sold out at $400 each in pre-orders online.

And in June UnderArmor came out with another 
Stephen Curry shoe:

for some strange reason they called them
'Steph the Chef'


 Curry Fans were asked their reaction
to the low cut model.
Some responses...

* Dad shoes 
*Tim Duncan will probably buy them
*I'm thinking shuffleboard
*Steph Bowls?
*look like good grillin shoes
*did you steal my grandma's shoes?

I'm thinking the low cuts will not sell well

Oh yea...and for the women I live among
that have no clue about the NBA
this is Stephen Curry


A Phasion statement...Josephbanks/maureen/paddy/katie

Pea is for Politics!...ok, so I have completed my reserach re: minority hires...and Presidential Candidates

I mostly used Linkeden...LinkedIn /ˌliŋkt.ˈɪn/ is a business-oriented social networking service. Founded in December 14, 2002[8] and launched on May 5, 2003,[9] it is mainly used for professional networking.

and I found that Hillary employs two minorities on mostly a Full Time basis:


Cheryl Mills is an Attorney & has been with Hillary
since at least 1997. Cheryl was at Hillary's side through the whole
Whitewater/Impeachment process.
A real Trooper!

Huma Abedin has been with Hillary since she was a White House 
intern while attending George Washington U..
Huma has been at Hillary's side since 1996.

Huma can usually be seen on either Hillary's
right elbow or left elbow on those few occasions
when Hillary is out and about among the commoners.

Oh yea...both Cheryl & Huma have been interviewed under oath
by the FBI regarding the State Dept Security Review
the FBI is conducting...

I have found no other minorities that have been with Hillary
as long as these two. Nor have I found any
minorities that Hillary has hired other than the Lawn Care
people in Chapaqua NY hired by the Secret Service
after being put through the rinse & spin cycle.


the Donald & his Aides...

I found that The Donald owns more than 200
properties World Wide and his
Staff consists of his two sons & his daughter.

None of which are minorities.

But the properties that The Donald owns
do employ more than 11,038 Latin Americans
& other minorities...
according to "The Bloomberg Report"

and as far as I can tell from my research none of The Donald's
aides or employees have been asked to attend the
FBI State Dept Security review with
Cheryl or Huma...
