All Things Odd And Silly

 I wonder if President Biden is still mentally cognizant enough to actually responsibly execute the office of the presidency.  Does the wording of that sentence even make sense or sound correct? This question was just in my mind and that was the wording that my brain came up with.  Oh yes, the latter part of that sentence sounds like the presidential oath of office.  I am the worst with history and politics.  I need to work on having better knowledge and understanding of both.  I guess I shouldn’t feel too bad.  I was talking to one of my fellow DAR members who is a supporter of Republicans and Donald Trump and she was confused and confessed that she could never remember if Republicans and Donald Trump were the left or the right. 😲 Truth be told, I have to admit that there are Trump supporters who are good and nice people.  They are evidently just very much unaware and blind to all the terrible truths and realities about him. 

 Wow.  After the unbelievable comments made at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, I would say that Trump’s campaign is quite the hot mess! 😲 This was of course, just the icing on the cake.  Can we close this chapter of Donald Trump’s insanity??!!

Waddle and Ping. Thank you brain for the idea of two baby ducks named Waddle & Ping. 😲🧐

 Well, I actually did it.  I had seen lighted evergreen trees decorated for each holiday or season of the year in a dentist office, a doctor’s office and a car dealership, so I decided to do the same and I made myself a Halloween tree.  Of our two recent kitty additions, Jilly was first to climb up into the tree.  You go Jilly! Girls rule! We love you Philly.  

I think I have always believed that most people are smart.  This is my thought for tonight.  I guess I will have my belief confirmed or disproven in just a little over a week.  I know that makes me sound very arrogant or narcissistic to be making a statement to the effect that only those who agree with my opinion are smart (at least in regard to one particular topic).  I do understand that this could cause some people to have a less favorable opinion of me.  I’m not actually blabbing this, though, so this is my own thought and I place full confidence in my opinion.

 It seems polls are dominating a big chunk of news media stories at this time.  It’s like people are desperate for predictors of the outcome of this election.  My feeling is that they aren’t going to tell us anything anyway when they are close or just giving us information about a particular ethnicity, age group or gender.  As crazy as it seems, we don’t know what is going to happen with this election.  I can understand people paying attention to polls though considering how important the outcome of this election actually is. My prediction.  Harris Wins.  That wasn’t actually my prediction.  It belongs to my crazy higher self that I am not able to just believe.  What the results of the election will be, has yet to be determined. 

 Life can be exciting and full of potential.  The trick is in somehow maintaining the right attitudes and vision.  One never knows what brilliant ideas human beings can dream up next.   Now, if I want to sound like tan AI, I think I might say, “We are all part of the brilliant tapestry of our shared humanity.  Together, we can weave a strong and beautiful fabric.”  Shoot, I just drank this caffeinated protein shake.  Perhaps this is good stuff!  I had to add a good amount of water and ice though because the stuff is super sweet. 

America is not finished.  That is just a thought that came into my head tonight.  Normalcy will be restored.  This is a thought of the know it all, proclaimer of truths, side of myself. I just thought of a weird question.  What would happen if for some reason, Donald Trump could not continue with his presidential candidacy and make it to the election?  Bite my tongue.  Isn’t this election bizarre enough already?  Or here’s another thought.  What if President Biden could not continue to hold his office until the end of his presidency and vice president Harris had to fill his place as president and she also won the presidential election between herself and Donald Trump?  She would have quite a buffet of vice presidential and presidential experiences.

 To all my dear fellow countrymen who believe that Mr. Trump is fit to be our nations leader.  I believe you need a shipment of marbles.  

 Oh Kermie! You were my favorite Sesame Street Muppet.  And I’ll tell you a little story.  I knew a man who is a very smart man, and he once said to me that smart people are nosy.   I completely agreed.

 I saw these bags of popcorn balls at Walmart.  The bags weigh 12 ounces and contain 12/1 ounce popcorn balls.  The price is $6.98.  That’s $6.98 for 12 ounces of popcorn.  No, thank you Walmart.  That’s insane.  I might on a rare occasion be willing to seriously overpay for popcorn at a movie theater, but I am certainly not going to do so to purchase popcorn balls at Walmart.  Isn’t Walmart supposed to be a value store.  Why rip people off because of a holiday?  Why not be nice and have a value product that people pinching their pennies could afford for a special holiday for children. 

I found it interesting that after needing to briefly pause during his town hall session in Oaks PA, Mr. Trump wanted to continue with having fun and trying to connect with his session attendees in a playful and happy way as opposed to continuing with his political question and answer session.  He just went with his heart as far as what he desired and considered to have the most meaning at that time.  He was over politics in the moment and just wanted a musical and pleasant connection with the attendees.  I wonder if there is any possibility that losing this presidential election could actually be the best thing for Mr.Trump?  For some reason I feel like this might be true and it could actually be the outcome that could lead his remaining years in a more positive direction.  Could he ever alter his emotions and ambitions in a more positive ways because he would have come to understand the value of humility and the desire to care for others? This is me in conversation with my know it all

 Strike up the band.  I do often feel that I have some little hidden and unknown DJ inside my head.  This little DJ often just plays songs into my consciousness with no apparent rhyme or reason.  I’m sure I’m not the only one that has this experience.  Sometimes we might hear a song in our heads and grant it little conscious attention or thought.  Other times we might give a mental song more attention and thought  and find it to be a source of bemusement.  Today my little head DJ played Cecilia by Simon & Garfunkel.  I’m actually starting an Apple music playlist of songs that I just randomly find in my head.  It seems like a good way to make an interesting playlist.  https://music.apple.com/us/album/cecilia/324127933?i=324127936

 I wasn’t a big fan of the movie “Mrs. Doubtfire”.   I found the costume changes between the dad and Mrs. Doubtfire to be rather anxiety inducing as opposed to being entertaining.  That was my personal reaction anyway.  And I have no idea why “Mrs. Doubtfire” was suddenly commandeering my thoughts?

 It is good in life to be open to having the right or best attitudes about things.  It is very possible that we can learn new things that we previously didn’t know or understand that can very much change our opinions and attitudes.

 This story is a self reflection.  I think I inherited my grandfather’s love of silliness and immaturity.   Fuzzy fur story.  Oh dear, that sounds like the last part of a Dr. Seuss story verse.  “Green Eggs and Ham” was a top childhood favorite story of mine.  I guess this means that my brain is part Dr. Seuss.  I’m afraid that might actually be true.  Well, I guess that’s not such a terrible thing.  Who doesn’t love a world full of whimsical and fanciful rhyming creatures?

A darling little cactus.  I had this thought and image come into my head.  I guess it must have been a ❤️Texas vibe. 

 I couldn’t help having a good laugh earlier today when I was reminded of Mr. Trump’s 2019 hurricane map display that he showed to weathermen and reporters which had a projected path for hurricane Dorian that he had corrected to include Alabama using a black sharpie.  Wow. I think this one might have my vote for the most ridiculous and humorous action of former President Trump’s presidency.  Like seriously?! 😲😂 It’s actually sad though because during that time of an approaching hurricane Mr. Trump‘s overriding concern was in proving that his own statement had not been incorrect rather than focusing on getting updated, pertinent and accurate information to those currently in Dorian‘s path who needed to be aware and prepared for being hit by the storm.  https://www.npr.org/2019/09/04/757586936/trump-displays-altered-map-of-hurricane-dorians-path-to-include-alabama

“I’m not for dinner.  Kiss my butt.”  I had to laugh when I saw this dog. 😂 The image did require a small touchup. 🫢 At least no scissors or gloves were required.

 I think this is a good image for the month of October.  The left eye of the woman in this image can be seen in two different ways.  The first way is intently gazing out at the viewer and underneath the eyes’s lower lid there is a dark area.  The second is gazing straight ahead and downward with the eyelid seen as partially closed.  This is what I saw anyway.  I was a bit surprised and taken aback when I was looking at this image and seeing the woman gazing in my direction and then she blinked and looked down.  Eek! 😱

 Today, drumroll please 🥁,  I saw some holiday gnomes for sale at Walmart and they had eyes!  Be still my heart.  Hooray for team “gnomes with eyes”.  May this be a continuing trend!  I vote let the gnomes look out from under their hats so that we in turn may gaze upon their eyes!  #letgnomessee

 I made it in and out of the vets office today without having any crises or making a spectacle of myself.  And I have a lovable sweet kitten.  It’s a good day! 👍

 Existential crisis.  I am the kind of person who seeks to understand things that are an enigma to me.  When I hear (or have heard) of a concept such as existential crisis, I am not satisfied with not really understanding what it means.  I suppose that it can mean different things to different people and encompass different kinds of experiences.  Maybe this is where I am at in my understanding of reality.  I find myself at odds within my own mind.  I feel at times that I have an understanding of things that is beyond my normal sense of perception and that actually exceeds my own intelligence.  What does a person do about having two different levels to who we are, each with a different take and understanding of things.   What does a person do when we realize that we don’t understand ourselves or our true nature at all?  What parts of our own mind and consciousness are we to believe? Holy crap.  I just requested to have an image of an existential crisis generated and this is what I recei

 Oh dear,  I didn’t do what I was supposed to do and address our new DAR chapter regent as Madame Regent before speaking to her at our meeting.  I guess I feel rather silly about following this kind or organizational protocol and formality.  I need to work on this if I want to be a good and proper DAR member and new officer.  🫢 The image below I just find to be funny.   I think this one below could represent a future regent.  It sure as hell won’t be me!  It’s definitely not who I am.  I will stick with being a low key executive board member who is happy to be of service but not in charge.
