It’s a big day around here today. Not because I have a (living) dad, and not because I’m anybody’s dad (stepdad, yeah, but that doesn’t really count for much – let’s just say I’m not anticipating any cards, ugly ties, or phone calls today). No, the big thing for me is that it’s the Father’s Day Fly-In Pancake Breakfast at the little airport in our town. That means that the skies will be full of single-engine planes, ultralights, and maybe even choppers (last year they were doing helicopter rides that flew over my house every 20 minutes or so).
Otherwise, it’s gonna be hot (again) around here. We haven’t had a lot of rain lately, and the grass is getting kind of crunchy (and not growing, which I consider a bonus). So there should be lots of pool time today. I really ought to brew a batch of beer, but I don’t think that’s gonna happen. If I’m really ambitious I’ll get one kegged. Otherwise, I think I’ll just hang out by the pool and watch the airplanes.
And try not to think about having to go to work tomorrow.
For those of you who are dads, or have dads, or have dads in your lives, have a happy Father’s Day.
I’ve gotten to watch a lot of presidents and other pols. Some do some great things some not so much. But they are always a mixed bag and even if they weren’t, the congress etc would make them so. Bernie, who his supporters believe is saintly, would fail no matter what he thinks because congress, which can’t even ban assault weapons is not going to enact Medicare for All or free college or any other idea. frustrating as it is, change is slow, comes in fits and starts and always needs defending. Hillary, for some reason, does not agree with everything I do. but she agrees with a lot more of it than any Repub i can name.
I am not pleased with Bernie’s call for open primaries. this year it may have benefitted him but it is also an invitation for less liberal folks to have a say in the Dem nominee. no guarantee that will work out well.
I just hope Drumpf keeps getting exposed for the fraud he is and Clinton holds her own…could have 2 Supreme openings available for the next Prez. I do feel comfortable that She would put a fine Justice up on the SCOTUS.

Somebody standing next to the person with the camera must be holding something awfully tasty-looking.
Fare Thee Well, Bernie Worrell! Thanks!
Amen!
