Observations

[larryJ]

In a followup...........we talked to our next door neighbor this morning (he called the police) and he said that he overheard these two crooks swear that they were just homeless and looking for a place to sleep.  The problem with that excuse is the bag of stuff next to their SUV that they had removed from the house.

Re:  Reply #246 this thread........

Mr. Herndandez has been re-elected to the California State Assembly by a vote of 59% to 41% over Republican Joe Gardner (whose sign has been in my front yard) despite all the negative publicity about his actions of late.

*scratching my head*.........I don't know.  Is it just me or are the voters around here just plain stupid?  I think it means that 59% of those who voted were just voting the Democratic ticket without thinking about, or knowing about, who they were voting for. 

sheesh.

It's not you, Larry.  And it's  not just around where you live.  For far too many, everything is about politics left & right... not life right & wrong.  You avoid the Politics thread, and that's OK, because you don't avoid right & wrong.  Press on.  I've read the last chapter in the last book... right wins in the end.

After retrieving my newspaper from the porch this morning, a glaring headline........

It doesn't say, "OBAMA RELECTED."  or, "OBAMA WINS SECOND TERM," but this interesting choice of words.....

"OBAMA GETS A SECOND CHANCE."

(to do what?  )

(must be a Republican newspaper  )

"OBAMA GETS A SECOND CHANCE."

Second chance?  Seems to me he get's a FREE PASS to continue his disassembly of the Constitution & the Republic.

       I'd say he got what he wanted, four years of traveling and mooching off of us while accomplishing nothing. Anything he does will be purely on a whim.

Do you really believe it's all about 'travel', 'mooching', 'whim', and 'accomplishing nothing'?  If only it were so simple.  This social justice crony and his pals are accomplishing a great deal more than most people see or are willing to admit.  They are methodically disassembling the sovereign that once was the Republic of the united States.  Ignore at your own peril... you are being manipulated and distracted by sleight of hand.

        I only am saying that he got what "he" wanted. I don't give him credit for being smart enough to accomplish anything on his own. Just rewatch the first debate, when he was obviously stoned and incoherent. His cronies of course got what they wanted as well, I agree.  In my humble opinion, he is just their puppet.

      What is most troubling is that the majority of those who didn't vote or didn't register have said they are " not interested " as a reason. Several of the youngsters I know told me, " your vote doesn't count ". They have seen the electoral college take away their vote, per se. , though it wasn't the case this time.

      I was shocked last night watching Letterman, who brought out Brian Williams, who proceeded to explain how the Dems targeted the key states, counties, etc, that were necessary to win the election, with surgical precision. Much to the chagrin of Mr. Letterman who was continuing to bash and name call several Republicans. Mr. Williams showed real class and did his best to steer the conversation to the mess in Jersey where he grew up and lives.

I wish to announce the beginning of the rainy season for SoCal.

Yep........that's right........It rained.......well, sort of.......maybe a tenth of an inch.

Yesterday was all dark and gloomy and rainy and today promises more of the same and the forecast is for more of the same over the weekend.  This could put a damper (pun intended) on the weekend's Veterans Day observations.  (Don't get me started about Veteran's Day!)

This doesn't mean it will rain a lot.  It just means we got some measureable rain.  It is quite possible it might not rain again until January.......who knows............

Although we did have a storm a few weeks ago, it wasn't "measureable" rain.  Actually, all this means is that, with a rare exception, there will not be any really hot weather now. 

The weather here divides the population into two halves, much like politics.  There are those who say that they welcome the cooler and wetter season and those who can't wait for it to be "beach weather" again.  But then I suppose it is that way all over.

However, this storm did not deter my gardener.  He showed up right on time this morning and mowed the wet grass and cleaned up the yard.  Luckily, it wasn't raining at the time.  What a guy!

Would you care for some east coast rain? We have more than enough to share.
