Was never a Hillary fan. It is August 2021...
But I give her credit. She took three shots at being President. Failed each time but,
ya gotta admit...she does have chutzpah!
She & her hubby strolling on the beach in The Hamptons
She has 24/7/365 security now
They go to The Hamptons every summer.
The Hamptons is an expensive rental vacation.
But I am sure it is cheaper to rent than to own.
Another thing...what would things be like today if Hillary had beaten Trump?
She would be in her 2nd term right now & Joe would be History.
I wonder how Hillary would have handled the Afghan debacle?
She has been there before
Guess we will never know.

A younger Stephen Stills
| "4 + 20" | |
|---|---|
| Song by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young | |
| from the album Déjà Vu | |
| Released | 1970 |
| Genre | Folk |
| Length | 2:06 |
| Label | Atlantic |
| Songwriter(s) | Stephen Stills |
"4 + 20" is a song by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, written by Stephen Stills, originally released on the band's 1970 album Déjà Vu.[1] It was performed by Stephen Stills on solo acoustic guitar.
The song describes the inner torments and reflections of a man on his past, present and future. In the CSN boxed set, Stills explained: "It's about an 84-year-old poverty stricken man who started and finished with nothing."[2]
Stills recorded the song in one take and planned to use it on his upcoming debut solo album, but when his bandmates heard it, they implored him to use it on the Déjà Vu album. He planned to have bandmates David Crosby and Graham Nash sing harmony parts, but they refused. "They told me they wouldn't touch it," said Stills. "So it always stood alone."[3] On the highly-collaborative Déjà Vu album, "4 + 20" stands out as the only song which was both written and performed solo by one member of the band, justified by Crosby who recalled "We just said, 'It's too damn good, we're not touching it.

Our Leadership Team
* Winkin is the President in the middle. He tells us stuff & then winks to his staff.
*Blinkin on the left is the Sec of State. Responsible for all foreign affairs.
*Nod is on the right. The Sec of Defense. In charge of all Military actions.
Winken, Blinken, and Nod one night
sailed off in a wooden shoe —
Sailed on a river of crystal light,
into a sea of dew.
"Where are you going, and what do you wish?"
the old moon asked the three.
"We have come to fish for the herring fish
that live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have we!"
said Winken, Blinken, and Nod.
The old moon laughed and sang a song,
as they rocked in the wooden shoe,
And the wind that sped them all night long
ruffled the waves of dew.
The little stars were the herring fish
that lived in that beautiful sea —
"Now cast your nets wherever you wish —
never afraid are we";
So cried the stars to the fishermen three:
Winken, Blinken, and Nod.
All night long their nets they threw
to the stars in the twinkling foam —
Then down from the skies came the wooden shoe,
bringing the fishermen home;
'Twas all so pretty a sail, it seemed
as if it could not be,
And some folks thought 'twas a dream they'd dreamed
of sailing that beautiful sea —
But I shall name you the fishermen three:
Winken, Blinken, and Nod.
Winken and Blinken are two little eyes,
and Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
is a wee one's trundle-bed.
So shut your eyes while Mother sings
of wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
as you rock in the misty sea,
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three:
Winken, Blinken, and Nod.

What is Kelly doing in Montana?
She is Producing a movie!
EXCLUSIVE: Brian Cox and Sinqua Walls have signed on to star and exec produce Mending the Line. The drama will be helmed by Joshua Caldwell (Infamous), which begins production later this month in Montana. Stephen Camelio penned the script.
The story follows a young soldier (Walls), injured in Afghanistan, who arrives at a VA hospital and meets a Vietnam veteran (Cox) at the facility who teaches him to fly fish, hoping it will help the young man deal with his physical and emotional trauma.
Carl Effenson (Mudbound) of Artimage Entertainment, Kelly McKendry of August Point Productions and Scott MacLeod of CKM Entertainment are producing alongside Caldwell and Camelio. Mark Comora, Kyle David Crosby and Roger Goff also will serve as executive producers.
“With Mending the Line, Stephen has scripted a beautiful story about overcoming trauma and the healing power of fly fishing — a subject matter very close to my own heart,” Caldwell said. “The film has a rich tapestry of emotion, and I’m excited to be working with Brian and Sinqua to bring these wonderful characters to life.”
Cox is set to reprise his Golden Globe-winning role as Logan Roy in the upcoming season of HBO’s Succession. Walls currently can be seen in the Netflix film Resort to Love.
Cox is repped by Paradigm and Insight Entertainment. Walls is repped at Paradigm and Artists First. Caldwell is repped by CAA and the Coronel Group.
Kelly is August Point Productions!

Some history about alchohol consumption in Pennsylvania
From 1971 to 1973 I worked part time in a Pa State Store.
The store was located on 5th street in Olney right accross
from Zaph's Music Store.
Back then a customer would walk up to the 15' counter
and ask for what they wanted...and we walked back & got it for them.
A lot of customers asked for Johnnie Walker Red.
It did not come in a box back then, but it did come in pints.
At times we would have a customer that would ask about wine.
In 1971 I had never had a taste of wine! They would ask, I'm having
a dinner party, what wine would you recommend for
chicken cordon blue!
My manager told me when it comes to wine & meat, "If the meat
is white, it's a white wine. If the meat is dark, it's a red wine"
Just pick a white one or a Red one & don't ask so many questions!
I had a woman come in who knew what she wanted.
She wanted two bottles of Ripple...I went & got the Ripple
& told her that would be $1.70...this was 1971.
She got angry! $1.70 she asked. That's .85 cents a bottle!
"My girlfriend brought this wine to our dinner party & I wanted
to thank her! Are you sure it's only .85cents?"
I just nodded & asked her, who is the other bottle for?
This was 1973!

When I called Jason today...
...on my new bluetooth hearing aids (where I can actually hear someone talking to me on a phone for the first time in my adult life!) He told me he was knee deep in the ocean watching Brynn surfing!
It was not a long conversation
I know surfing can be scary...
One never knows the twists & turns of the tides!
Love it!
a ps...I also called John, Timmy, Paul, Maureen, and Sam...
and only Jason answered his phone while knee deep in the ocean.

Two months later...
Doc told me if I want to ride my bike, I have to wear knee pads.
So I ordered from Amazon & the driver left the box on the front stoop.
So many evil, nasty, dishonest people out there in the world...

My first ever box of BORAX!
I've had ants on the patio. I've gotten rid of them with something called
TERRO
But each trap costs .78cents! And that's too much for my Landlord.
Even though I paid for the TERRO.
The Landlord says TERRO is nothing more than sugar & Borax,
mixed together to form a paste.
Thus, the 4 pound box of BORAX!
I was sitting down when I picked up the box. I thought it would
weigh as much as a cereal box. I almost sprained my wrist!
The Landlord told me each box of BORAX contains the ashes of
former President Ronald Reagan!
and one of the mules...

How about if we have a major sporting event without Referees, Umpires, Judges or Stewards? I Love that a 65 to one shot did ...
