TIDBITS OF LIFE

     Well, my first suggestion is to go to the movies this weekend. There is a movie out there for all tastes. Go. Enjoy. There is little else to do this weekend that will prove to be either as productive and/or enjoyable.
     Anyone hearing the sounds of wheels racing along the street? The wheels of a bus, the wheels that are going round and round? They are even whispering in sounds that sound very much like Hebrew as glimpses of Netanyahu under those wheels are seen. Yup, told ya so! Oops, I hate to use that saying, but there it is. The point is not what has happened or not happened in the voting in Israel, but the fact that Trump just pitched another throw, right under the wheels. You see, by not winning the election Bibi has worn out his welcome in the teeny disturbed storm that is the mind of Trump. Told ya so!! (Sorry)
     Then of course we have the telling statement of Trump, who, when asked a question about moves on gun control, answered, "No, we're not moving on anything." Bingo!!!!! Out of the mouth of babes? Yes, he is an old man, with an old man's tired and worn out mind, but he is also a temper tantrum ridden overgrown infant and there you have the pronouncement of a babe.
     Getting a stronger urge to check out, go to the movies, bury yourself in cinematic oblivion? Well, doesn't always work as even in Downton Abbey there is a crack that is clearly a poke through time at the present administration.  As for Rambo, well, you do the figuring there. Ad Astra is wandering there, along with two other draggy space movies - 2001, Close Encounters, movies that just about guaranteed that I fall asleep. In this movie we are treated to a vision of space that has been introduced to too many of the problems of Earth and the poor dude has to deal with a whole bunch of problems along with the angst of a son/father disillusionment. Okay, back to reality,
     So what do we have now? Okay, Giuliani, who, I am beginning to believe, suffers from 9/11 syndrome or disease, for at least he was down there, unlike someone else we know who claims that he was on the Pile, right alongside the first responders. Hah!!! If that was not such a sad statement, a telling statement I would laugh myself silly. Instead all I got here is another told ya!!
     So, Giuliani. First he says, "Of course, I did" when asked if he asked the Ukraine to look into Biden. Right smack after the footprint of that statement, he says he did not. Poor man has had his brain fried and cannot remember for beans!
     Movies, anyone? Getting closer to going there? First choice? Downton Abbey. I loved it and so did the crowded theater which spontaneously broke into applause at the end. There were tears and laughter, an enjoyable rebellionof the servants, an old fashioned, once fashionable, sense of loyalty and respect for the head of government, for the King and Queen, for service to country - something sorely lacking today in our present administration.
  Enough time afterwards to see the rock em sock em aged RAmbo return. One can just substitute whomever as the recipient of the old fashioned violence and leave with a sense of ah, if only, and know that there was no crime in that, in thinking those thoughts, just a release of tension before venturing back into the real world.
     No assault weapons here in the Abbey, but trust me, the tongues of the ladies are as sharp as anything else one can conceive of. They hit the point right there and can change directions on a shilling!! Ahhh,women power!
     At least it will take your mind off the ugliness of yet another military/Trump business swamp again as a Marine Corps unit plans its celebration to take place in Mar a Lago. Yup, nothing like separation between government, the state, and the business of the President and its all important bottom line. Yup. Got your values straight here? Well, hop to it already.
     Ahhhh, the tidbits of life. Just go find your movie card, buy the ticket, load up on junk food as a good American should do at the movies and go, enjoy. We loved Downton Abbey and wish there were another one in the offing and today, we will release tension with Rambo. Space? Not so sure. Just go. It is good for the economy anyway.
