A divided nation

 All you have to do is watch a Trump rally to realize how messed up in the head he is. 

Every other sentence and text he puts out is full of lies.

Though some of his rallies aren't full, the people who are there are fully supportive of him.

It's like the Republican Party is a cult not a political party.

I pray and pray that Harris beats him.

If she doesn't I will sink into depression and our country will be a mad house.

A truly 'mad house'.

I have no idea

 Bern's been working in the front and back yards for a week or more.

(She leaves the side yard alone since our pet cemetery is there!)

I watched her do a lot of it but even with first hand knowledge of her work, I have no idea what she's doing!

She shears branches and cuts them up.

She digs up plants and cuts them up.

She removes things and cuts them up.

Today I counted and found 10 leave bags full--those big old bags.

And I have no idea what she's doing or why.

If she goes to the home before me, I'll be living in a jungle before long....

But odds are I'll go to the home first and she'll continue doing what she does in the yards.

And I'll be so demented I won't wonder what she's doing....

What happened?

 A totally deranged man who once voted for him was on his Golf Course to try to shoot him, kill him?

It was a weird thing.

Just like T and V are weird.

Very strange.

And Vance blamed Democrats for it?

And with all the vile things they are saying about Kamala, they say Democrats should watch what they say????

Weirder and weirder every day....

Going to the doctor

I went to my primary care doctor today.

She outweighs me by about 80 pounds, but is competent.

I'm pretty fit for a 77 year old man who grew up in West Virginia and smokes and drinks white wine.

Go figure.

My vital signs are really good.

My mind in not so good.

I forget things.

Today, after I fixed my lunch, I left the burner on. Bern caught it though it was on low.

Shame on me.

But I want to live a while. 

Next year is Bern and mine 55th anniversary.

She was 20 and I was 23.

So we've been married to nearly 2/3 of our lives.

Imagine that....

I only recently knew...

 I hadn't realized until an hour of so ago that this was Friday the 13th.

I'm not superstitious, so it doesn't matter that I didn't know.

Hope your Friday the 13th was as uneventful as mine was.

Haitians eat dogs

The presidential debate was a walk off win for Kamala!

No doubt about it....

Trump's 'dog eating' outburst would have been enough. But he avoided and lied over and over.

And the split screen showed us all Kamala's reactions to what he was saying.

It was wonderful and poetic.

She laughed and frowned and put her hand on her chin and shook her head in amazement. 

Quite a contrast between the two.

Don't eat your neighbor's dogs...alright?

Yesterday

 We had a big crowd at Trinity, Milton, yesterday.

St. Michael's in Litchfield's Rector is suspended--no one seems to know the story--so a bunch of their parishioners came to Trinity for communion.

43 people! We average around 22, so it seemed like a lot of folks.

The music was wonderful--as always, since our musician is go good. How this little church has him is beyond me--he could be anywhere in the Diocese! But some of St. M's choir were in the congregation and they added a lot to the singing.

Lots of people thanked me for my John's Jesus vs. Mark's Jesus sermon.

Maybe they were just being polite...or maybe something showed up for them they weren't expecting. Who knows?

Bill reported it all on our on-line newsletter. He's really great!

If you'd like to be on his list let him know at bill.starr@mac.com.

You won't regret it.
