Decompression
Our intrepid traveling duo made it back to Lowtown by nightfall, Monday,
totally exhausted, they fell into bed, snuggled up, and promptly
fell into a deep sleep, dreaming of their weekend adventures and lessons learned,
knowledge seeping into their mindpans and altering their brainsets
to newer and bluer ways of thought and action,
for they are Men of Action.

Parting Thoughts
on
February
February 1 - 28, 2022
Happy Black History Month!
hmm, that's not very Politically Correct,
what about...
Hmmm, that's not very Inclusive,
let's try,
HAPPY, HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR!
oops, that's Politically Incorrect & Not Inclusive at All...
probably offensive to someone, too...
I'll more than likely get a nasty comment, or email...
sooooo...
JOYOUS LUNAR NEW YEAR!
That's better.
**
Happy Two Year Coronavirus 2019 Anniversary!
Don't believe the hype,
it's all become propaganda to get people vaccinated,
perpetuate complete paranoia and anxiety,
hooked on attitude adjustment meds...
use your common sense & do your own research,
because, the doctors, scientists, and researchers,
don't know diddley about this shiznat,
your government is lying to you,
and wants you dead;
remember,
we ants
outnumber
the grasshoppers...
do the math.
RISE UP!

Parting Shots
