Sometimes the arrival home can be more of an adventure then the journey there and that is a good way to put this day. It started out great with a wonderful complimentary breakfast that was one of the best I’ve ever eaten or at least the best in this country. Everything you could think about it was on the table and dishes you never knew existed. The Guatemala airport went smoother then I expected and there were plenty of places to shop along the way to my gate.

Everything was going as planned until we arrived back in the United States where Houston was less then hospitable. My son was taken in a special room by Homeland Security which I couldn’t visit partially because we took the wrong Passport  but basically because he fit their profile of someone else. My family had to wait in a separate area as they had me personally pick up our luggage to be boarded on a separate plane. My son was finally releasaed from homeland security but his passport was taken and when I tried to get it back they made me feel as if I was the next person they would bring in their room. We barely made our connecting flight and touched down in Newark way past my night time.  To conclude flight travel can bring you down instead of flying high.

I’ve formulating a Charitable Trust to insure that the monies I contribute to a good cause actually perform good works.  One of the areas that I would love to be able to make a dent in is the situation with the homeless so that they can become a productive member of society and find true happiness.  I believe that these founding guidlines (below) could truly change the current deadend too many of these individuals face. Therefore if I could find a charity that is willing to implement these goals then I would commit my time, energy and resources to help make it a success.  G-D only knows what an individual can accomplish when they locate their door even in the dark.

(1) Provide a basic housing structure for individuals to live in.

(2) These individuals willing to enter the program will receive a “debit type card” that they will earn points on whichc can use at the “store” to  add new items/decoration to their residence.

(3)  Points will be earned when an individual attends group therapy, mental and/or drug rehabilitation, spiritual guidance, job training, artistic expression, proper etiquette lessons as well as working at said facility.

(4) Once an individual graduates from the program the facility will help locate employment and housing for said individual as well as continue to help them with their growth.

(5) Individuals will also be required to volunteer at the facility or in the field to help others that are suffering.

(6) Everything will be performed with tough love as well as through confidence building

(7) The charity will also continue to seek corporate sponsors that will help it grow in other locations.

Yes, I know I’m basically creating the wheel for my blog but at least it’s moving.  For in a few weeks (G-D willing) I will have a search window installed right up front which will allow the viewer to look at any of the posts that I’ve written over the past 5 years by subject matter.  Yes, this incredible innovation will be added to my blog posts so that you can pick my brain from the past and present on anything that exists there or existed before because I never pressed delete.  Now if only I could find that device which keeps pants up …. oh I got it a belt!

How much $$$$$’s was spent on the millions of stickers given out during this election cycle? Your $$$$’s that could have been spent on our children’s, seniors or basic infrastructure needs instead? Did these stickers really make others want to vote and if so should these people need such an incentive in the first place? Could a corporate donor had sponsored the stickers so at least it wouldn’t have come out of our pockets? How about the cost of multi- colored stickers instead of black and what? Oh well at least we all got a pretty sticker that…. WE OVER PAID FOR!!!

The 2018 midterm results appear to prove 1 significant point, in the next two years what occurs in this nation will be up to U.  For if as the pundits say is correct and the Democrats have really taken control of the House of Representatives while the Republicans control the Senate then nothing with any significance will be passed by our legislative branches. That means the power is really in the hands of the people to determine our economic & cultural futures without discentives or incentives coming our way. You will decide and if you feel that a little push this way or that way would help well you have 2 years to make sure an adjustment.

FOOTNOTE- It’s up to you New York has been decided and I think it’s time for me to move.

The court finds you guilty as charged for the following crimes (below). You will be sent to the dog house with leniency for good behavior or licks.

(1) INDECENT EXPOSURE- Even the cartoon characters wear a shirt

(2) SEXUAL HARRASMENT–  It might not actually be sexually but it is harrassment how many licks can one person take …and the ear?

(3)  STALKING- Maybe a little room would be nice. I’m literally being smothered.

(4) PUBLIC DEFECATIONS– This would be excused since the toilet doesn’t fit your body type but my kitchen floor give me a break and some wipes.

FOOTNOTE- See being a dog isn’t so bad after all for these are crimes we with 2 legs would be sent to the pound for.

Tonight maybe even tomorrow I’ll be shouting with glee in the streets or pulling my hair out of my head but today I can honestly say elections are a beautiful thing.  For after all the billions are spent trying to convince you to move one way or the other in the end it’s completely your decision.   The people decide in a secret ballot which could be completely different then they’ve said to anyone even a pollster.  A matter of fact in the end you have the constitutional right not to decide and go shopping instead.  You decide whether to follow others or lead in your own path. There is no gun put to anyone’s head although guilt by association may make one feel as though.  Elections are beautiful thing today and G-D willing tomorrow as well.

With political pundits and their politicians claiming destruction I figured now is a good time to bring up some morbid thoughts. For although I strongly swing right I don’t believe a scythe will becoming directly for us depending on this years results…. but I could be wrong.

(1)  The number 1 way to die in one’s house is by falling so no matter what happens this election don’t be standing too close to the stairs.

(2) Saturday is the day of the week most people to die. Which means most won’t be able to blame the election results on their passing.

(3) In the 2018 Mexican election over 132 politicians were killed. I guess our divisions aren’t truly killing us.

(4) There were 5 people who won elections even know they were dead. Depending on who actually wins we must those individuals win re-election instead.

While the polls might have several Democrats up in their viewing many an elephant is still in hiding.  Yes, it might appear that an Elephant has no where to hide but when a pollster comes their way some how they find a big enough to hide under. Even if a peanut is offered many of them don’t trust who is serving it and look the other way. Elephants may not yelp like a donkey but don’t be surprised if they come charging to the polls on Tuesday leading a red wave know one saw coming.
