ENTHUSIASM LAGS FOR DEMOCRATS THIS OCTOBER - For Just A Minute Radio on Wednesday 111019

Hard to believe. Right here in this little place seems like we’ve been through a month of Sundays just since Monday.

 

But no complaining – the Lord knows what we need… and we’re a larnin’ – as the old folks use to say.

 

But it seems like Mr. “O” isn’t a-larnin’ – o’course I don’t think any of us will find out ‘till a little later than now next year. By then we’ll be up to our ear phones in countin’ ballot worries… and getting’ people to ‘work the polls’ – (I don’t think that is going to be so popular this time.) but who knows… perhaps we’ll just be overrun with people who want to see government at work.

 

The storm clouds on the horizon don’t seem promising… I heard late in the day yesterday the USPS… (Postal Service) is considering a $.05 increase in cost for a first class stamp.  That’s going to go down bitterly… I don’t think I’d like to be in the P.O. complaint division whether it’s a BIG PO or a small PO… nobody’s going to like it – especially those of us who can remember when a first class stamp cost the kingly amount of $.03 – of course that was in the days when gas prices fluctuated between $.12 per gallon and $.15 for high test. (L) …However you got your windshield scrubbed off… oil and water checked… tires too if you wanted them… and could buy a Coke or Pepsi for $0.05 (but Pepsi came along with the 12 oz bottle and gave “Coke” a fit!) 

 

We don’t have to worry about prices in that category for a looooooong time I guess.

 

I read a long-column over the weekend that told the history of how our election campaigns got so long. In fact the piece was so long I‘ve forgotten just what the reason was/is – but it doesn’t make that much difference anyway… we’re not going there. But I do think after this mickmash that’s going to happen to the primary elections this time the public is going to DEMAND some shortening of the campaigns.  I am anyway.  We’ve got other things to do than to listen to all the campaigners and politicians ***FOREVER***….  It’s almost enough to make you wish for a dictator… unless you can remember blackouts and rationing and all that… as well as the many gold stars in the windows.  THAT is what comes with dictators and corrupt politicos.

 

We’re not too far off the track remembering Pearl Harbor and all the sorrow, and tears and sacrifices that came after that.

 

Well… time to put away the Dictionary and pick up the Bible. There you will find true knowledge and wisdom and things unshakeable!

 

Cordially, IN HIM
