Return to Wonderland
I have been away for a while and to my loyal Blogger community I say, "Sorry". Here it is almost Christmas time again. The time of year that we spend to much money because we feel pressured into it by the capitalistic society that we live in. The commericals show us that in order to express our true feeling of love for someone we have to spend insane amounts of money purchasing there product. So this year my goal is not to be a scrooge. I am throwing Mikes first annual Christmas party. A time of drink, food and celibration. A time of fellowship and interaction. A time where love can be shown in the giving of ones time. And I hope one of fond memories. I plan to take pictures and then post them next year. And to create a scrap book of Mikes Christmas Parties. I promise to BLOG about this after the big event on Thursday, December 16th from 6:00-10:00pm at Country Club Appartments Community Room. Open invitation to my local bloggers.

Its also hard to believe that this is the second year as a single man. This year I do not even have a girl friend to spend it with. But there is still two weeks before Christmas so anything is possible.

The new house is starting to take shape. My hopes and dreams is to have Mikes Christmas Party #2 at the new house. But there is a mountain of tasks and obsticals to overcome and we will just have to wait and see.

HOW IT APPEARS

Donald Trump apparently gets his security briefings from watching TV and reading right-wing reports off the internet.  Donald Trump tweets the following on March 4th, 2017 at 6:35am.  the following. "Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!" "Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW! "   "I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!"  "How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!"  These tweets set off a firestorm with the media and within the government.  The question that first arose was "Where are the facts that support this

WEST VIRGINIA DEATH SPIRAL

Before I get into this post a bit of my background.  I was born in Huntington West Virginia in 1952 and have lived in the state most of my entire life.  As a youth my father was an insurance salesman and my mother worked at Owens Illinois Glass Plant.  I remember that out family was close net and our neighbors watched out after each other.  It was a time of the nuclear family. A Peyton Place type of community where Sundays was time to attend church and then the strong sent of charcoal burring in the air as everyone seemed to be grilling out at the same time.  A time when families set down to dinner together at a set time and then retired to the living room to watch the Wonderful World of Disney on TV.  A typical middle working class family. Somewhere along the way things started to change. I remember Owens Illinois closing.  Then ACF "American Car and Foundry" closed.  Then the C&O shops closed.  The jobs were leaving and there was not a lot coming along to replace them

BIGGER FISH TO FRY

Today one of my Facebook followers brought to my attention that West Virginia state senator Sen. Patricia Rucker, R-Jefferson, wants to get a resolution though the state senate in regards to the apparent epidemic of men watching porn and the related health crises this is causing.  Now here is how my mind works.  My first thought was where did this research come from?  Who knew it was an epidemic and then I thought why?  Well lets first look at her claims and they may be true, I have no personal knowledge of such things.   She says "pornography viewership ultimately damages families and children, can cause depression, psychological issues and self-esteem issues, and leads to the objectification of women and domestic violence."  She goes on to say that pornography is equal to the opioid crisis in West Virginia.  Really?  Well I would love to know where her research comes from?  There must be a lot of surveillance going on to justify such a statement.  OK, so guys in We
