Mild Rants

 A common theme in romance if for a woman going through a devastating divorce to seek comfort from a trusted male co-employee who had hitherto been kept at "arms length". The male employee comes to be sexually attracted to the younger female and then the switch flips when the female characterizes the older man's actions as creepy and even sinister.  Such was the case at a school in Idaho where the New Plymouth School District had to deal with a lawsuit filed by the male elementary school teacher who had been with the district for a super long time. The gentleman was aware the female school board member was going through an emotionally draining and depressing divorce and sought to comfort her by taking her out to dinner to talk her through through this difficult time in life.  Over time the female became afraid of the older man's advances. She interpreted an email containing the phrase "you go girl" as threatening for some reason. A colleague named Parini Shi

 The last thing of interest I can conceive of during this killer virus pandemic is the price of a luxury car. Yet a guy with porcelain white teeth(potential for adverse periodontal consequences) spent some money doing a Mercedes Benz commercial produced in Albuquerque NM  USA.    This cat started out by saying we live in interesting times blah, blah, blah. Then Tom Bohlman said something vague like   "Crazy behavior forced upon by the governor's overly restrictive COVID policy". Maybe the lead car salesman or owner? Counterintuitively, Diego Mendoza-Moyers writes that luxury car purchases are at close to all time highs in the San Antonio TX area compared to used car sales. Go figure! That means Trevor Skaggs has nothing to fear. 

 A guy who makes $174,000 annual salary just FLUNKED THE PUBLIC SERVANT TEST . Our outgoing president pushed for $2000 stimulus payment or $4000 for couples. The same guy was complaining about how that salary was not enough to live off of.  That same guy has a name with an easy to find street address where acts of civil disobedience would be appropriate within a legally acceptable distance from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy's home. He told colleague GOP people that the House Speaker's attempts to financially rescue desperate Americans will NOT SUCCEED ! So it is clear this elected official does NOT CARE about every day working class Americans. He and his family will have to live with the consequences of his callous and irrational decision making for the rest of their lives.  Police escorts to basketball games are not that expensive. 

 So 8 incarcerated criminals backed by ACLU are suing the state of New Mexico. The lawsuit demands the courts to intervene in a fashion that will release inmates, at extreme risk to the general public, to stunt further transmission of the novel corona virus. Nothing was mentioned about the severity of crimes committed by the eight crooks who are filing the lawsuit. Were they child molesters, rapist, repeat DWI offenders, or even murderers?  Attorney Lalita Moskowitz would be compelled to divulge anything in the criminal backgrounds of the 8 lowlifes who were locked up FOR A REASON!! Why does this remind me of the unacceptable actions of the couple Delores August and Carlos Lucero? These two clowns refused to cooperate with a police investigation  apparently not feeling they were obligated to assist Albuquerque's finest in the apprehension of a criminal!!!!

  So it is a weird thing how the mind makes bizarre connections between seemingly unrelated events. Was kickin back watching some Turner Classic Movies when a military officer said you can identify Richard Burton's character by parallel scars 3 cm apart on his wrist.  The film title which costarred Clint Eastwood was titled Where Eagles Dare (1968) This dude who does a damn good job of explaining mathematics popped into my head along the lines of how many hair follicles could be expected to be found on the skin between the scars?!?!?!?   Jeez Louise WTF.  Michael Penn answers much harder questions than that right?!?  Perhaps it was because my son in Colorado is losing his hair and always talks about Math Stud Doctor Penn. Everybody has a lot of time on their hands these days and I use some of my time to Google old friends. I found out the referenced mathematician has a killer YouTube channel that is really close to 100,000 subscribers which is the threshold one must reach to make k

I struggled immensely in Mathematics in Middle School and remember the awful feelings I had about it. The following passage from an online therapy site made feel sooooo sorry for the poor soul who wrote it. Having said that, I doubt that Jennifer Bet-David's husband would  feel too sorry for the whining, "poor pitiful me" tone of the following account of a young man who feels mathematics exists solely to torment him. My sophomore year math teacher in Brownfield Texas helped me turn the corner and I was able to pass  the math sequence which helped me to become a CPA   I hate math. Never has a topic in school made me feel this worthless, hopeless, and sometimes suicidal. Never has a school subject left me so confused. Never had a school subject made me feel so much rage towards myself and unfortunately my current teacher. Currently I am struggling really badly with math, and I hate the fact that I am. It all just confuses me so damn much and I wish it didn’t. I’m able to do

 A true giver or philanthropist despises public recognition for his gifts and donations to a cause or charity. So it follows that David Chang who played that game on TV where one has to answer 15 questions to win a million USD, was in it just as much for his own fame as he was for trying to really help.  Mr Chang had already answered enough questions to guarantee $500,000 for low paid hospitality workers. The well known comedian host carefully and slowly explained to the chef that if he answered wrong to the "who was the first president to have electrical power?" question, that ONLY $32,000 would be given to restaurant workers deleteriously affected by the pandemic.  The host further emphasized that a wrong answer would result in A $468,000 LOSS TO THE WORKERS IN DESPERATE NEED of financial support!!  Chef Chang then honestly stated he was a Jagoff in school and did not even know Ben Harrison was a president.  The chef blindly guessed based on an uncertain lifeline phone all

 We got this hand written letter from a left handed person employed by Jehovah's Witness organization. We originally thought the letter was from some friends in Lubbock Texas due to the post mark on the envelope.  Some internet searching told us it was probably sent by Andrea and Anthony Conti who come up a lot on internet searches Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses 1718 N Atkinson Ave in Roswell New Mexico. So now we know Andrea's last name which she did not include in the letter you see below.  We are still trying to figure out why the church mailed a hand written letter to Brownfield, Texas not too far down the road from Lubbock. Maybe they thought we were retiring in Roswell? If you read this Andrea, let us know why you sent the letter please. It is almost strikes me that you are just a kid doing what your elders instructed, maybe to drive up membership which will give the LDS church more operating revenue.  The main problem we have with your version of the Christ stor

 Dear Keith McAlarney (The Mac behind the EGREGIOUS  violator of COVID policy Mac’s Public House), So you are just trying to take care of your family you whined and bellyached on national news? When taking care of your family involves creating a hot zone micro cluster in your Grant City restaurant, then you need to be arrested AND YOUR ESTABLISHMENT SHUT DOWN !!  You were stupid enough to post a sign on your premises indicating you would not adhere to any rules and regulations enforced by the Mayor of NYC and Governor of NY State. You cluelessly proclaimed your virus breeding ground was an autonomous zone immune from prosecution.  Look where it got you and your patrons who have no respect for NYPD and law enforcement in general. If you were not such a prick, I would feel sorry for you being a businessman trying to make ends meet and all.   That damn liquor license is expensive ain't it Keith. That 10% bond fee for your quite justified arrest is no small chunk of change. You got wha
