If you ride a trolley long enough you’ll come to the end of the line. You can then remember the sights and stops, the riders that come and go. Maybe trouble on the line, cross words or banter, perchance the frozen grim look of out-of-sorts folks. Perhaps that little girl with lollipop all over her face. But search the faces–all of them–whose do you want to see?

it’s gonna be rough. Tell-tale signs of age spoken off the cuff betray us and oh how long and how sad will it get to be before…until…we write bad verse and yet don’t hesitate to remember to meditate on what’s gone before, not what lies ahead instead.? Hey nonny nonny,  COmmons.wikimedia.org honey, if it’s not funny why do we laugh at our forget-me-nots? When will we touch base and head for home? Not funny, dammit, unless you’re like me easier to laugh than it is to pee. Ha ha got you there You expected “cry.” I know poor taste when ‘ere I try and will until my looney runs dry. Ouch!

Billy Graham’s granddaughter Jerushah Armfield doesn’t think so,
Trump “has not shown” himself to be a Christian, Armfield said, and has exh
ibited qualities that are the opposite of Christlike.
“My Jesus that I follow was really somebody who fought for the outliers,” she concluded, “and I think that Trump has actually done the opposite in kind of ostracizing them.”

“I have the greatest stuff and you know what? I love golf. But if I were in the White House, I don’t think I’d ever see Turnberry again. I don’t think I’d ever see Doral again. I own 
Doral in Miami. I don’t think I’d ever see many of the places I have. I don’t think I’d ever see anything, I just want to stay in the White House and work my ass off and make great deals, right? Who’s gonna leave?”
Wow and wow! Superior!
The doctor
who is 47 and wears a baseball cap
she doesn’t look her age, even her hands are unlined
but she knows her stuff, telling me, it’s a virus
got into you, maybe by the loosest thread and working its way up
attacked your spleen like, a well placed fist will split even hard skin
opening up secrets, spilling them like spaghetti squash, reveals its jewel
thumbing through test results, her eyes raised imperceptably
we both joked at the irony of finding a virus, good news
by then I had, a long list of debtors, thinner wrists, curled with many knots, my mouth was parched from staying open
who knew I’d learned so well, the art of begging and beseachment
and the phone, if it were not disconnected, would not have rung because I’d found out
those who stand in faded ink on birth certificate, are not interested in…

The Trump administration is prohibiting officials at the nation’s top public health agency from using a list of seven words or phrases — including “fetus” and “transgender” — in official documents being prepared for next year’s budget.
Policy analysts at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta were told of the list of forbidden words at a meeting Thursday with senior CDC officials who oversee the budget, according to an analyst who took part in the 90-minute briefing. The forbidden words are “vulnerable,” “entitlement,” “diversity,” “transgender,” “fetus,” “evidence-based” and “science-based.”
In some instances, the analysts were given alternative phrases. Instead of “science-based” or “evidence-based,” the suggested phrase is “CDC bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes,” the person said. In other cases, no replacement words were immediately offered. (My emphases).

So now we’re going to use science, considering community WISHES?
New info to me!
I didn’t know until I looked it up that a federal law allows waitpersons to be paid only half the minimum wage. The restaurant owners must have a powerful lobby, because The Trump Labor Department now wants to give control of waitpersons’ tips to their bosses. It’s one of Trump’s vengeful moves to undo Obama’s safeguards. Oh wait–Trump owns restaurants too, doesn’t he.
It requires a lifetime of re-education, I fear, Good question and observations.
I have mulled over this topic for the past couple of weeks, as one man (and few women) after another has lost his job, credibility, and respect with accusations and admissions of sexual harassment and assault. My first thought through all this has been “They are really lucky I am not their mother!!!!”
My husband used to assess low and moderate risk convicted sex offenders, usually those who had committed crimes against children, for their suitability for treatment. We know from research that the sooner those folks are integrated back in the community and have jobs and stability, along with ongoing therapy and careful monitoring by their probation officers, the less likely they are to re-offend.
What do we do now with the Al Frankens, Roy Moores, and John Conyers of this country? How do we heal, and promote inclusivity for all our citizens? I wonder if the model of Truth…
