OUC is requesting that Orlando residents conserve water so liquid oxygen can be diverted to rescue covid patients. But selfish Orlandoans have not answered the call, consumption dropping only slightly from 90 million gallanos to 85 million. Meanwhile the city is setting an amazing example by doing its part: according to channel 6, instead of washing the Lynxx buses every day, they're only doing it every other day. This shows how serious the situation is and how seriously our conscentious city government is taking it. Why can't the residents try to be as great?

 Check out the most rip snortin' adventure story since Alice in Wonderland - My Summer Vacation, the long awaited account of my incredible 1981 odyssey in Africa.  Oddly enough, available on Kindle.  Like what you see and don't use Kindle?  All the better.  Send me money and I'll e-mail it to you.

 The squirrel of time buries the nuts of tomorrow and eats them yesterday

 The late great Ambrose Bierce said a cynic sees the world as it is, not as it should be. So I wonder if it has occurred to anybody out there that Donald Duck's current machinations are the culmination of several months of groundwork involving the television networks - how to keep Amuricans glued to the election coverage after the election's over. This may be their last chance to cash in on Trumpelstiltskin and it seems unlikely that it would be an accident.


I'm just sayin'. With the right perspective everything can make sense.

 Watch the bar. It keeps dropping. Used to be people said, "Anybody'd be better than George Bush." Now it's "Anything's better than Trump." That's our new democratic process. That's how we choose pur president. Put a Republican in who makes the next guy look good. Just keep lowering the bar. What could be more American? Kids are told anybody can be president in the U.S. and darned if it ain't so. (anybody but a strong people's advocate like Ralph Nader, Eugene McCarthy or Bernie Sanders). Next it'll be anything's better than Biden and so it will go God only knows where. You would think Trump is the crud on the bottom of the barrel but best not to underestimate the force of gravity.


President should be the grreatest American we've got. Not the worst. Sharpest tool in the shed, not the dullest. It shouldn't be terribly hard to select a group of such individuals and draft one of them into service. He/she doesn't want the job, too bad. If this country can draft rabble into battle, then it should at least draft elite for government. Then the rest of us can just get on with our lives. sometimes monarchy desn't seem like such a bad idea. They got 'em side by side in England and it was the elected guy who got sucked into bombing Iraq.
