I'd Be Sleeping With One Eye Open...

 

And I bet there are some very powerful and influential who will men not sleeping well either.

But if what Ghislaine Maxwell believes happened to Jeffery Epstein is true....



- murdered rather than committed suicide -

...she should be very worried.


However.....if she has names to name, why wouldn't she already have agreed to sing and cut a deal with the prosecutors?

Unless these same very powerful and influential men said to the prosecutors, "No deals.  Just send her to prison.  We'll handle the rest....."



And if you think Jeffery Epstein was not murdered but did commit suicide, here are some procedural irregularities the night of his death for inmates considered a risk for suicide;

  • the removal of his cellmate without a replacement, 
  • two guards who were meant to check on him falling asleep every half hour but did not check for eight hours, 
  • the malfunction of two cameras in front of his cell,
  • and guards accused of falsifying records. Although prosecutors are moving to dismiss the charges.  Hmmm, how convenient.... 
Anyway, before I go too far down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories,  Happy New Year!





Good Riddance

So How's Your Day Going.....?

Pulled up to a stop light yesterday and saw that some gnarly haired, 20 year old dude - likely texting - had rear-ended...a Bentley.


Ouch - that's gotta hurt - his wallet.

To add insult to injury, he had to get out of his car by climbing through the driver's window.

Which is what the Bentley's owner was watching......

"Dude, you could have made it through that light."

Out On A Limb

 


There's a job I wouldn't want to have.

What job is that?

It's buddy out on the limb cutting trees branches [click to enlarge]. 


So he's tethered off, but I'm afraid if the branch broke, that tether would just slam him into the trunk. Wham! 

Let's hope he doesn't forget which side he should be cutting.


So a lot of loud noises this morning.


Chain saws and tree chippers. 


Here he looks like he's got a better grip on things.

So before the trim job......


And after......



On the plus side, it is a lot brighter in here......

Gift Cards For Christmas?

When you get to be a certain age, if you want something you just buy it. 

You don't wait for Christmas, hoping that somebody, somewhere will get you, say, the latest Rob Greenfield CD, Absolutely Nowhere.  

Sorry, Nowhere in Particular.


Which can be purchased here! at the amazingly low price of $20. 

No, you don't wait, you just go and buy it, as soon as you possibly can.  At the above link.

But if you are all out of ideas, you just buy a gift card.  Easy peasy.

But the trouble is, people always get you a gift card to a store they like.

She:  Here is the gift I got you.

He: Bed, Bath & Beyond.  What is that?

She: Oh, it's a wonderful store where you can get scented soaps, candles and cozy bathrobes.

He: Oh, I see.  Well here is the gift I got you.

She: ABC Liquor.  What is that?

He: It's amazing.  They have Jägermeister on sale right now. And you can get a six pack of Bud Lite for $4.  I am not kidding you!

She: Oh, I see. 

He: Why don't you take the Bed, Bath & Beyond gift card?

She: Oh that would be wonderful.  Why don't you take the ABC Liquor gift card?

He: Right on!  Best Christmas eva!

What The.....?

 


So this is how a 70 year old is portrayed in society today?

On the other hand, not a very high bar to live up to.

Although I do have to agree with the sentiment.
