America Is Hopelessly Divided

It's been a week since I last did a posting.  Basically I'm just "checking in".  Normally there is a lot of substantive news on Donald Trump.  But all we have are these juvenile E mails of his directed at innocent people who don't deserve his scathing remarks.  People seem to want their leader because according to one Meet the Press analyst, the average media outlet is left of center and the average American is to the right of center so therefor things that attack the media are welcomed.  "The Week" magazine points out that the divide of really great and as I noted in a recent blog,  the American people are almost more irrationally divided then is congress.  Now Mitch Mc Connell is getting a little sense.  Maybe it's sheer desperation but he is against just eliminating Obama Care as the President wants to do.  Instead he wants to cut a deal with the democrats and work something out.  As I noted in that other blog, the American people are like trained seals in that they will repeat anything FOX news says, as if they were in some suggestable hypnotic trance.  

As you know (later paragraph) Glenda moved to Corona yesterday and moved in with her daughter and her two kids.  Bill wanted to call Glenda at ten but we had problems accomplishing that.  She gave Bill a 714 number and the phone would ring but then it would stop ringing and there were some re-verb sound effects and then silence.  This scenario played itself out several times.  Then Bonnie called me and her line was good.  Later on Glenda herself gog on the line but it was a toll call and she couldn’t talk for very long.  I talked to her briefly and handed it off to Bill.  Just after ten Joe and Jeff were over here but they didn’t get to talk to her.  I was tired and didn’t go out for refreshments.

Bill Handel says that if you are having your right hand scanned for identification purposes you can refuse to undergo the procedure if you say that it’s “taking the mark of the beast” even though such a religion notion has no link to the real world or even the book of Revelation.  Neither the rapture nor the Antichrist has come.  There was also the statement that if you are rear ended in a car crash the police don’t have to take your police report.  The police take police statements on anything and often hold these reports against people later.  The idea of their turning her down is absurd.  Also Bill claimed that if you are “Incorporated” this absolves you from all law suits.  This is the farthese thing from the truth.  Sure you can hide your funds and set up a secret personal bank account by another name and stash your real assets there and left the “Corporation” as a bankrupt empty shell.  But tobacco companies get sued every day as well as auto companies makine exploding air bags shooting out shraptnel and killing or injuring people.  I don’t know what Bill has been smoking but he seems out to lunch. 

(Saturday) Glenda is gone now.  She and Shiela took off in one car and Bonnie and Victor were securing the things in the blue truck and then they took off.  Bill has Glenda’s number and so does Joe.  After two years Glenda is really gone.  It remained overcast till after noon.  We never made it out to the Claim Jumper with Terry.  I went to the store for a jar of Nestcafe paying a five dollar bill for it rather than using my debit card as I had planned.  I had Leo on till basically two.  Nothing was on TV. 

Rhapsody in Black had July of 1965.   The big hits were few and far between and they stick out like a sore thumb.  There was “In the Midnight Hour”, “Papa’s God a Brand New Bag” “Baby, I’m Yours” by Barbra Lewis and “Sugar Pie Honey Bunch” by the Four Tops.  There were two lower level hits, “Agent Double O Soul” and “It’s Gona Take a Miracle”.   Everything else I’d never heard before or else it was so obscure it sounded like another song and I thought I’d heard it.   I went out and smoked at a quarter to four.  We had a bean burrito for dinner and an apple and carrot salad.  Then they came around with a second burrito.  We had cantaloupe for dessert.  Right now Eye Witness News is on.  

I had two cups of instant coffee in the evening.  One was around five thirty and the other was just after medication.  At six thirty they had a half hour Time-Life retrospective on “Laugh In”.  It was a forty episode retrospective on “Laugh In” for the six years it was on the air but they are charging you a hundred dollars for those forty episodes.  Then it was Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune.  I got my medication from that trainee.  I was running really low on cigarettes but I felt suddenly tired and didn’t want to go out to the store and buy a pack.  At eight o clock there was dial twirling and then we settled on this court trial thing on CBS till nine o clock.  Then I went to bed.    I had a dream where I spent a lot of time at the library looking up Greek and Egyptian myths and came to the conclusion that these Egyptian myths were real and held the secrets to the universe but that Jesus was a myth and not to be trusted.  I would write to this evangelist that Paul listened to and the evangelist would get in contact with Paul and confront me on the letters I had written.
