I think I can do much more in this format....We will see how it works.

Happy Birthday:
To Peggy, Criss, Lyle, Warren and John.....Jeff J. and Kris J. too.....I probably missed someone, not intentional. I shall apologize in advance....

Some of you know that my little brother, Randy bought the Ol' Clark Victorian mansion a year or so ago. (Near the old Kozy Korner motel area)......Well, he is a HUGE Halloween nut....big fan of the movie Psycho, too.....He is retired from the North Dakota oil fields and now works part time driving a school bus....(think Ralph Cramden)......anyway, he lit up the old Munsters, eh Clark place (1313 Mockingbird Lane).....and attracted 127 Glidden Trick or Treaters.....great fun for the big kid and the Little Wildcats. Wow!! 127...

Thanks for the kind words on my sister, Donna's passing.
Tough times, but everyone of us have or will be going through the sadness and loss....Spouses, siblings, parents, friends.....it is just tough...Donna was a real Glidden Wildcat.....Class of 64.....cheerleader at GHS and Buena Vista....married a Carroll guy. (Bruce Stevens, who played football for my brother, Bill)...The class of 64 with Doyle Douglas and Joel Shaner....we were in 8th grade when they were seniors......Donna leaves a great family behind....2 school teachers and her son is a banker.....The original, Glidden Tryons are down to 3 left...and I am the oldest......just sad.....we miss all of the laughter. Photo below is Donna with the award winning dancer and tennis guru.....Paul Stougard.....they lived near each other in Mesa, Arizona during the winter months. Everyone likes the Stougards.......an Arizona legend!

Just The Facts, Jack.....

The United States Pentagon has admitted that they have lost track of over 2 TRILLION dollars.....no clue what it was spent on or where it went.....Geeze....2 TRILLION dollars??......Can our brains comprehend how much money this is?

One MILLION seconds = 12 days
One BILLION seconds = 31 years!
One Trillion seconds = 31,688 years !!!!

Wow, I am going to start looking for the TWO TRILLION dollars....let's see, 10% finders fee.....hmmmmm

Wait, I know how we can fix this.....Let's raise taxes....We will say it is only the rich that will pay....hire 87,000 new IRS agents...raise the brackets, the  %.....and tax any bank transactions/deposits over $600....Inflation will help us too.....as everyone will move to higher brackets....same with minimum wage.........and and and maybe we can start taxing the "cash back" bonus that people get using credit cards, airplane tickets etc.....you know, those "rewards".......Yes!....We will call that "income".......that will fix the Pentagon's oversight..........but wait.....we could still spend the new money and call it "investments" or infrastructure......Hell Yeah......maybe put into our Crypto friend's hands....or send to Ukraine and get a kick back to us......hmmmmmm....this is not a scandal, but an opportunity......and if the Pentagon screwed up and lost track, what about the 1000s of other government agencies that enjoy spending other people's money....

And I am NOT being political....this is BOTH parties......playing the game.
