NO WORDS FOR IT

Published June 4, 2022 by Nan Mykel

This photo was posted on the Daniel Defense Twitter account May 16 with the caption “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”  Daniel Defense is in the gun selling business (via abc news)   NOTE that the shooter waited until he was 18 to purchase his weapon. He was following the law permitting him to.)

I can’t help it

Published June 4, 2022 by Nan Mykel

A fellow blogger wondered the other day if readers resent those who post every day.  I want to say that I feel the need to post one, two or three times a day so my brain doesn’t drown.  When I wake in the morning my mind starts sputtering and if I don’t get it out I could conk out or explode.  Now there–I’m being melodramatic\; sorry.  So I’m going to try and limit myself to one blog a day, but put the blogs together.  But then, I love my Media Library photos, all 1200 of them.  I’ve grown attached to them, and when I look at some of them I get inspired.  Like the one above apparently by Nick Brandt.

This is early morning and I’m still being flooded.  When I’m impetuous I often live to regret it, so I’ll change my mind now.

I’ll just tell you one good idea any of us could work on and maybe share with me, anyhow:

An everyday song needs to be written to an old catchy tune–one that keeps running through your mind, like You Are My Sunshine used to  in my youth.  To go with the catchy tune would be words about current events.  A little two or four-step blog (the dancing kind) would automatically accompany this in a good-natured, jokey way.  Goals this might accomplish:

  1. Prevent a heart attack
  2. Keep us in a good mood
  3. Since it doesn’t have to be sung out loud, it can bolster you inside
  4. Can numb you to what’s being thrown your way
  5. Hopefully prevent you from being gunned down
  6. May develop a talent you never knew you had
  7. Help us love one another or at least the innocent babe they once were?
  8. Fat chance, but at least it’s an idea.
  9. Something to do in the pandemic
  10. Include David McCormick’s being bullied out of his run for office by fellows

REMEMBER WHEN

I just listened to a vocal via Google that I only recalled the title of and listened to sounds of several vocalists singing “Remember When…”  Do you recall it?  You can take a look and listen via the internet….The visuals are embracing as well as the sound of the words.  I can remember when…folks were sane and tolerated one another….

AS A LAST RESORT, GUYS….HOLD THEM IN THE LIGHT.   They were once someone’s innocent babies.
