Maybe we need to watch the left-wing rhetoric
Someone tried to assassinate Donald Trump today at a campaign rally in Butler, PA. An audience member has died and the gunman has been killed. As Trump was being swarmed by Secret Service agents to escort him off the stage with bloodied face he pumped his fist to the crowd. Photo Of The Year. Say what you will that was a gallant move on Trump's part. Could swing the election. Make him a martyr and he could win in a landslide are what some people are saying.
Will the Left watch their rhetoric now and tone it down? Probably not but one can wish.

It's slow on the Uncle Joe front
So I thought I'd post a pic. Piermont, New York in Rockland County just west over the Mario Cuomo Bridge. Hardly a poetic name for a bridge but son Andrew then Guv of NY named it. Replaced the old and historic Tappan Zee. Quaint village like being in a time warp. Crab festivals and farmers markets. Old-fashioned stores and a bar called The Turning Point. Amateur painters come here often in the park by the harbor to paint. They have a quite long peninsula you can walk out on and you'll always see a few fishermen trying their luck. Condos here with a couple of dental and doctor offices so a mix of the old and the new. Haven't been here in awhile but used to go fairly often to clear my head. A kind of pocket community definitely worth a visit.

The wilds of Yonkers
I woke up this morning and was getting ready for work and there was a deer in my backyard. Pure suburbia with a bodega down the block. Was munching on the weeds. Don't know where he came from. All I need is a coyote. Reminds me maybe I have to make another trip to Lowe's and look at some garden power tools.
As usual talk about what you like. This blog is delightfully off-topic.

The Amish have sold out
I bought this at an ACME supermarket. Nice big bar. I prefer to split it down the middle and put it on a plate. There's also an Amish-style potato salad. I haven't tried their pipe tobacco yet. Is there an Amish app?

One thing has always annoyed me
When people feed stray cats they usually just open up a can of Friskies or 9 Lives and leave it on the sidewalk. A hungry cat can cut his tongue.licking out the can then people forget about the can and any leftover food dries up in the sun. Get a decent bowl they're not expensive. Too much work? The community cats deserve better.

The aging blogger
I have a large backyard and every year it gets overrun with weeds. Large weeds. Couple weeks back was whacking with one of them manual whackers and later into the day and into the next my left arm became very sore. Now I get this intense pain in my left elbow to the point I suffer if I even use a spray bottle with my left hand. I'm partial ambidextrous no matter. It's a jungle down there could have been a black widow who knows? I'm older now and Nurse Nancy would probably have one of my feet in the grave. Bought some Tylenol arthritis power but will wait until a sufficient time has elapsed after imbibing my last adult beverage for the night. I have my priorities.
Ever have everything go wrong with you AT THE SAME TIME? You want to go to the doctor's office and present him with a list of at least five ailments and say here fix them. We can rebuild him we have the technology. Funny thing is my friend can eat sushi and down it with chocolate milk no problem.
My cumbersome labeling system. Gonna file it under health.

This is what you came for
I honestly think Taylor Swift only goes out with well-known men for the sheer publicity of it all. Nothing ever comes of it. Conspiracy theorists say she hooked up with Travis Kelce because he's pimping for Pfizer. I don't take it to that level it's simply par for the course for her. She's 34 now and her biological clock is ticking. I can't check out groceries at the store without seeing her on most magazine covers. Dua Lipa or any other artist doesn't get this press. She's a whole sub-economy now. What are your Swifty thoughts?

It's getting harder to shop these days
My backyard has come to resemble a vacant lot these days with overgrown weeds so went to the Home Depot. Lots of stuff under look and key now. Essential garden power tools behind a cage. I mean is someone really gonna try to leave the store with a giant pole trimmer? Then the public restrooms have some sort of a control box on the door with nine numbers and a secret code. Black guy yelled to the nearest clerk there's people waiting here and I threw in my 10 cent humor and said there's gonna be diarrhea all over the place. Target too lots of stuff under lock and key now. I understand the Gillette 5-bladers and items like that but everything you used to just grab and examine first? Sometimes you just give up and go home.

I got 99 problems but my eyebrows ain't one
In the heart of the mall where I work is a very popular eyebrow threading kiosk. Day in and day out people of all ages sitting in the chairs. I don't get it. You're pressed for time and money it's not on my to do list. What are some social fads you don't get? People with the mini phone things in their ears expecting that all important call walking around like they're contractors. Why not use your cell? Are they gonna climb a utility pole? Smart watches. The point? Can you watch a movie on one? Constantly monitoring your BP with arm or wrist band thingamajigs. Tattoos are more than a fad of course and in some places you're in the minority if you haven't illustrated your body or at least a part. "I've fallen down and I can't get up" I can see. All I need is a meter to let me know I'm running low on the Christian Brothers.

I saw this idea posted on a forum once
The Government already knows how much we owe in taxes or how much they owe back to us. They have our numbers on file. How much we paid in state and federal etc. They pretty much know everything about us already. Why not just send out letters or notices stating how much we owe or how much they owe us? If you disagree then fill out a tax form and do the work yourself and send it in. Why do we even need this behemoth of a tax preparation industry? Let the government do the work. They have the computers and the information and now we have ai. Crunch the numbers and everybody else can get back their lost quality time.

We're living in surreal times
The Trump Sex Trial. I know of nobody who's interested in this trial and that includes even the hardcore Dems at work. Truthfully nobody wants to think about Trump having sex. The perceived martyring of Trump can only work in reverse. Uncle Joe - Russell Brand showed clips of Biden on Howard Stern's satellite show. It was strange. Biden was sitting there rather silent looking mildly bewildered and nervously holding onto the mike stand like he was on a ship. Stern who has made a career out of making fun of everyone and everything respectfully extolled the President and his accomplishments (?) thus far. Now there is serious talk of a great debate between Trump and Biden. Isn't this past Biden's bedtime? I thought he goes to bed after Wheel Of Fortune. I honestly thought he would put in one term to show what an oldster can do and that's all. Cultivate a hobby. Take hornworms off tomato plants or something. Cartoon universe.
