Good Morning Campers,

Seaside, New Jersey … the mid 1970’s … what a time to live in.  Surfing, Sailing, swimming, hanging out on the boardwalk.  Kissing girls under the boardwalk.  I had no idea the perfect childhood I had until I no longer had it.  I turned 18, joined the Air Force, moved away and never had it again.  Not like I did as a kid.  Then raising my kids, I didn’t realize what a great place I was raised until I was raising my kids.  And maybe I didn’t realize what a great time I was raised … I’m sure that had something to do with it as well.

So, that was my little bit of looking back … nostalgia is a wonderful thing in small doses, but now it is time for coffee in large doses and laughter and giggles in huge doses.

It’s going to be hot and humid today, hope everyone is ready to laugh, so let’s get started!

Oh Lord, it’s starting already.

Well, I was going to turn all my guns over to the government; but I did a background check and none of them were mentally stable.

Join me in telling Walmart, “If I wanted to check myself out, I’d stay at home and shop Amazon.  Hire some cashiers.”

You know you’re old when you go to bed at the time you used to go out.

 

I miss the good old days … Remember when you could actually have an opinion without offending somebody?

“Wow, that Lean Cuisine really filled me up,” said no one ever.

Irony – the opposite of Wrinkly

Lead me not into temptation … oh hell … just follow me, I know a short cut!

Yes, again, you of a certain age won’t get it …

I just beat my family in a game of Monopoly.  I was supposed to go directly to Jail without passing Go, but I resisted arrest, sued them for excessive force and won the game.  There were riots on Boardwalk and Park Place.  Marvin Gardens is occupied and is now a new board game called MGAZ.

Oh, that’s subtle …

A pun has not completely matured until it is full groan.

I think I either know who this little girl grew up to be or know who her mom is … depending on how old this picture is … that look is WAY TOO Familiar.

Did You Know: (Let’s do this) John F. Kennedy was the First U.S. President who was a Boy Scout as a child.  (Maybe that’s part of the problem) (Maybe it is)

What possible fucking difference could it make to her reputation at this point?

We’re still in the O’s … from Optimism to Overkill and a few things in-between…

And everyone of us knows someone who this would have/could have happened to…

Due to COVID-19, we are asking protesters to work from home and destroy their own property …

I just dumped a pack of M&M’s into my mask at work and am slowly eating them like a horse.

That’s just wrong …

Okay … remember that comment about the 74 day filibuster on the Civil Rights Act?  So many of you wrote back to me and provided me documentation of it’s authenticity that I’m not going to single out any single one of you to print here, but will say thank you to all of you who answered me.  Donnie G, Pat C, Tom J, and I hope that I got everyone … if not, I apologize.  And yes … it was true!!!

Mail Call:  Let’s do some of this…

If only people would respect each other and that people would act in a manner deserving respect.

Ain’t that the truth dear friend!  And I love you right back!

At a guess, I would say it was a model of the circulatory system of a left arm. Or am I wrong. It is beautiful, though.

Well, the write-up says right limb, but I do agree … beautifully impressive.

Just a quick thought…..weren’t you at the dentist a few weeks back….I was, had that root canal…well this week have major infection in sinus and ear, down back of head..Given mega antibiotics….doc said common problem with back upper teeth. Hits the nerve in that area. Pay attention…all connects to the brain. Well in some of us it does…. Enjoy the 4th….only old people have it….

Hmm, the implication being that perhaps in Dragons the back upper teeth don’t connect to the brain?  I’m not sure.  And the first bout of vertigo had nothing to do with a trip to the dentist so … I’m going to say that there probably isn’t a connection and since I’m a man and since it’s gone, I’m not going to be overly concerned with it.  Be well dear lady.

I wonder why we are so obsessed with trying to find intelligent life on other planets, when we can’t even find intelligent life here?

If a knight in Prague dons his armor, does that mean the Czech is in the mail?

And with us Smudging for 2020, I’ll leave you here for today.  Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend.  Love and happiness to you all.

Cheers!
