The Friday Fives

1. What are things just not spoken in polite company?

President DonaldTrump.

2. If you could tell him one thing, what would you say?

Isn’t it just time that you just went away?

3. Who will replace him?

That is difficult. He is a cult leader and there are usually no cult leader replacements When the leader fades away the cult whithers. Many will step up but remember he has had over 60 years building this image and developing these self-marketing instincts combines with his shear pathological narcissism. There will be many who try (and have already tried) but they will be seen as the charlatons they are. His act is alreay tiring, even on those who voted for him.

4. How will this all end?

A severe caridac incident due to a calcified vascualr system.

5. Why him again?

He ran on a palate of lies and his only intention was to stay out of prison and to exact revenge. And, our nation is racists and sexist and wouldn’t vote for a black woman to be president.

The Friday Fives

1. What’s a popular food that you don’t like?

Kale. Especially in salads. I don’t get it. There are better minty/spicy leaf greens. I can handle chopped Kale in soups or stews, but that is about it.

The 1991 Father’s Day Bank massacre. James King was suspected of robbing the cash register building in downtown Denver, killing four guards, and walking away with about $200,00.00. He stood trial and was acquitted. The money was never found.

3. If driving stick-shift and writing in cursive are regarded as “Boomer skills,” and IT is viewed as a “Millennial skill,” what skill is almost exclusively associated with the Silent, Greatest, or Lost Generation?

Folks like my dad or my grandparents could walk out to a workshop in the garage and knock out a piece of furniture, pull out the transmission in the truck and pull it apart, fix it, and then replace it instead of taking it to the shop. I wouldn’t know where to start.
