Merry Christmas This is after breakfast and I was going to
spend a big portion of today’s blog post in describing yesterday’s Christmas
gathering at Paul’s. Unfortunately I got
sick at lunch felt horrible and my appetite dropped dramatically, so I stayed
here and rested up. This morning I got
up at 22 minutes to five and headed down to the dining room for coffee. It was quiet in there with hardly any people
in there. I remarked to Millie and at
some point I said sleeping in was a pretty good idea. “Then how come we’re here?” I had two cups of fresh brewed coffee. Right now Trump is talking about the “Beautiful
vase” he hopes to get from Kim Jung Um.
Everywhere it’s Christmas- - at the end of every year” Like the Beatles
sing. It’s one of the few holidays- -
Newyear’s is the only other one- - which you can track the celebration all over
the world, kind of like NORAD tracking the path of Santa and his reindeer.
I had a cigarette and then returned in lay down briefly. I turned on the “Yule Log” thing on KTLA
playing Christmas songs imported from KOST 103.5. I went down at a quarter to six for another
cup of coffee. Phyllis is right about
something. It didn’t rain today. I was out again at twenty to seven as it was
getting light. Not too many places in
America does it start to get light that early, and certainly not in
Europe. The sun was shining in at
breakfast time. They had the Yule Log
thing on KTLA in there, too. Last year
we listed “CHRISTMAS 2018’. This year I
haven’t yet heard either “I want a Hyppopotamus for Christmas” or “Grandma Got
Run Over by a Reindeer”. One of these
songs is on the ‘CHRISTMAS 2918” compilation.
I had the Rick Unger show
on and they talked about ERIC or the election reorganization information
commission trying to reform Wisconsin elections. They kicked 56,000 off of the voter rolls in
what was largely a mistake saying that people had moved and kept their
registration in their old residence.
This is strictly legal by the way.
But now they say as many as 200,000 voters may be disqualified in the
2020 elections. This is because some
Heritage “Liberty” group sued to kick the2020 voters off the rolls. You see ERIC had reinstated these voters
saying they had till after 2020 to change their registration. “Liberty” sued and found a friendly judge to
decide in their favor, which I’m told isn’t a hard thing to do in
Wisconsin. As far as the polls are
concerned, Yahoo conducted a poll confirming the rise in the number of people
who disagree with the impeachment and who also view the president
favorably. But I would remind you of the
old saying that “six months is an eternity in politics”. Let’s hope so. Because right now you see the same vote
rigging in 2020 that was going on in 2016.
The president isn’t even hoping to win the popular vote any more. He’s just looking for a repeat of the 2016
farce that got him elected three years ago.
Today after reading Tim’s letter I posted that Christianity Today
magazine art nicle, hoping people will read it if they haven’t. Christianity is not a “left wing”
magazine.
Trump and administration
officials “worked on” that Democratic house member from New Jersey, who
switched from democrat to republican.
Apparently they made him a lot of promises. I’ll try to refrain from using the words
“quid pro quo” but I just did. I went
out to the store and bought two packs of strawberry cigarettes using my debit
card. I have to watch my money now. John Kip offered me a white cigarette. Rick Unger is taking callers now. Here
is an interesting rumor. Joe Biden knows
that he is not up to the job for President and won’t last out the four years he
is elected for. Instead he will turn
over the reins of power to Camile Harris, who will be snuck in as vice
president on the ticket next year and Biden will resign perhaps a few months
into his term. Even if this rumor isn’t
true, it makes a lot of sense. This is
said to be the real reason why Harris withdrew from the race, because her
position was already set.
Breakfast with the
Beatles featured at least three renditions of “Rudolph” the red nosed
reindeer”. One was the B Side of
“Wonderful Christmas Time” that was recorded in 1975 with the delivery man on
violin, because Paul asked if he could play.
There were at least three Fab Four Christmas songs. There was Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer done
to the version of “I Saw her Standing There”.
There was Felis Navidad done to the version of “And I Love Her” and
there was “Jingle Bells” done in the style of Tomorrow Never Knows. They also played a version of Hark, the
Herald Angels Sing, done to the tune of “Help”.
I listened to the first three Beatles Christmas records. Joe returned surprisingly about nine thirty
in the morning. He took the train to
Riverside and not San Diego, and he thought he had the wrong train. We had
a beef and rice and bell pepper casserole and I had seconds on that. There were also peas and carrots. Patty got seconds after I did. We had red Jell-O for dessert and Patty let
me have hers.
