LOST IN THE 50'S 2106

The further ahead we get, the more behind we are…

In this day and age of high speed  news gettingout with computers, phones and etc.. Everything is known practically as it happens. With pictures.

  

Yet come election time.. the time comes to a screeching

halt.  The polls closed at 8pm.  And if it was a national

election…yeah, we get results asap.. in fact one of

the biggest gripes we have out West here.. is that by

the times the Ohio polls closed, they are already

declaring a winner.. when we out here on the West

Coast, have 2 more hours to go, to vote.  Makes you

disgusted, if you just got off work, and go down to

vote and they are telling you who won, before

you make your mark. You still stay, because of

the local vote.

But in the off year, where it is all local.. or state

anyway… the wheels come to a grinding stop.

The local county clerks office, doesn’t post any

thing until about 11pm.  And then it isn’t

complete.. so you end up….. if you are an

election junkie.. (I use to be one, then sleep

Was more important) staying up until about 1am.

The newspaper may not have much either as,

they went home before the full count it is in.

So you are left with going back on line and

getting the  results as they won’t be in print

until Thursdays paper.  So much for the

fast pace of computers and news… at least

locally.

Understanding Transgender…

No, I am not going to address the bathroom

situation.. although I have to wonder and ask

where did all the transgender go to the bath

room before this became a big issue?

My understanding the difference between a

lesbian/homosexual  is that they are comfortable

In their own skin.. They just happen to love

someone of the same sex. But the women

like being women and the men like being

men.

Where as, a transgender does not feel

comfortable in their own skin. They feel

they should have been born the opposite

of the sex they were.  They feel that God

go it wrong. 

Which makes life a living hell for them.

It isn’t just the fight within, to try to

sort it all out in the beginning, but

the fight with society as society shuns

or bullies them. 

It would be so easy for them.. to walk into

a building and come out the other side the

gender they prefer, with everyone’s memory

being that gender and not the body they

were born in.

But life is not like that. Most people harass

them.. or shun them (family members or

even friends)  Some of the people have

it in their hearts to accept the person.

But most don’t. For we humans, tend

to hate what we don’t understand. What

we don’t understand, we are scare of..

and back to the hate.  And for some reason

we seem to think subconsciously, we

find that making it bad for those, it makes

us seem less bad.

We forget that these are human beings,

who deserve to be loved.  Who deserve

to be hugged by their families and friends…

to be accepted by the same.  Why can’t

that be? What are we afraid of?  If we

accept them, as themselves, it doesn’t

make us transgender.  So what is the

harm.   I know some have trouble with

it religious wise.. But didn’t Jesus love

everyone?

I realize there are some lesbians, homosexual

And transgender make it hard on all of us.

By flaunting their sexuality in flaming

attitudes. It is hard to accept them as

just them, when they decide to throw it

out there with wild colors, half dressed

and in your face attitude.  And that is

what makes it hard on the rest of them.

And us… trying to understand.

A good share of us, just wants them to

act and dress normally, just be the sex

they feel comfortable in.  Just don’t come

out with dresses on, with a beard. That

is what upsets people… Be a woman if

that is what you want.. be a guy, if that

is what you want.

And a lot of us, are just trying to understand.

And let you be you… 

As far as the bathroom thing, makes me wonder

what the powers that be... government or media

are trying to throw under the rug, so this is a 

diversion. 

  

Coming to a store near you…

There is a company in India, called Bakey, who

has a marvelous product.  They have been selling

this product in India like hot cakes.

I came across their Facebook a couple of

months ago, and did some research as

I would love to buy them.  They came like

144 in a box for something like about $10.

But it would be hard to buy them as they

don’t sell them in America.

But all this might change as they have

drummed up $278,000.00 on Kickstart,

So they can sell global.

And yes, I will be buying..  So what is this

amazing product, that I speak of?

Edible spoons and forks.  They come

in 3 flavors.. a sweet one, one that taste

like crackers, and a plain wafer type

flavor.  And they are strong enough to

eat hot soup, with the spoons. Haven’t

heard if they are going to be making

knives or not.

But just think of it.. You eat your dinner,

and then you eat your silverware.. NO

dishes.. Well, they would have to make

an edible  plate to make it complete..

But no more fights with who is going to

do the dishes!!  Ok, so you have a

dishwasher… but not every one does.

This would be sooooooooo cool..

AND CAMPING.. how cool is that, you

can eat your fork or spoon.. no waste.

Any way, keep an eye out for BAKEY company.

edible forks and spoons…. Coming soon in a

store near you…

A tribute to a great guy

Shorty Blood, a local logger of many years…

employed so many people over the years.

A man of a great sense of humor.. great

wit, and a smile that made anyone’s day.

On Saturday, there were over 60 trucks who

traveled from Sagle where they gathered,

go north on highway 95, winding thru

downtown Sandpoint, up to highway 200…

pass Shorty’s favorite restaurant... the HOOT OWL

and on to Kootenai-cut-across Road … heading

towards the county fair grounds.   For the

huge celebration of life ceremony, the a

full parking lot, and fields of those who came

to pay their respects. 

It was quite a homage to Shorty... the horns were

sounding off, so soulfully sad... it was like each truck

and its driver was wailing at the lost yet, celebrating his life...

His friends did not forget…
