Christmas Looms around the corner like a dark dragon.
Its that special season again were everything seems to hit a once. It is no wonder that the suicide rate is the highest during the Christmas Season. It is the time of the year when the Cold and Flu Virus are at there peak. When the sun has reached it soltrus and is the lowest on the horizon and you come to work and drive home in the dark. At this time of year you start to notice that all the green has disappeared from the hills and have been replaced with drab colors of brown. The sky turns a slate gray and it either rains or snows almost every day. The times when it is sunny the temperature drops to bone chilling cold. Also with everyone going more places that usual and this combined with weather related road hazards the accident rates climb to new heights.
And the reality of the season is we spend money we do not have on gifts that are forgotten two days after Christmas. With all the time and effort putting up Christmas decorations to only be outdone by your neighbors. And the party's that we have to dress up for and fix food for and clean up after only to think what the heck was that for and someone tell me if I had a good time.
With the kids over dosing on Christmas Junk to the point they are bouncing off the walls and all you want is two minutes of peace and quite you have to reminder yourself that Christmas is for children and retailers and not reasonable sane adults.
So if I could have anything I wanted for Christmas here is what it would be.
My Christmas List
(1) An all expense paid vacation for the month of December to Cancun Mexico. To set on the beach on soak up some rays while good looking scantly clad girls brings me food and drinks.
(2) All my Christmas Shopping is done in June and set to auto ship to the kids on December 22nd.
(3) To return to work on January 2nd with a tan and a smile on my face only to be the envy of everyone who was now realizing how much money they spent while trying to recover for the New Years Eve party where they tried to drowned there Christmas wows in as much alcohol there body's would hold.
So Ba Humbug on Christmas. Only 16 more days till it is over for another year.

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
