Finish Line III

by Jimmy Johnson

Are you aware there are entire movies on YouTube? Most of them are old and probably no longer protected by copyright, but there are quite a few, including old naval warfare movies. (It’s true: if you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all, but they remain one of my guilty pleasures.) Of course, I’m sure you already know this, but why doesn’t anybody tell me these things?

    Jackie, I have relunctantly decided that I will not be taking anymore long trips. If we drive more than a few miles I let my wife drive. It was a stupid mistake to buy the convertible. I spend too much time sleeping. In spite of Parkinson’s I still have an active mind although I have no short term memory and type about ten words a minute not counting errors. We both apparently have the finances to live comfortably, but I would give it up to have good health again. My thoughts are with you and I apologize for unkind things that I said in the past. Now, enough warm fuzzies. Today the chump pointed his finger and fired his AG for refusing to enforce his order re immigrants. Impeachment anyone?

    Jerry I am trying to incite or excite an interesting driver for the convertible to take trips. Didn’t work well on boats but a car is easier and launching is not recommended or desired.

    Thank you for apology but not necessary. I was never angry. You are forgiven. I have friends and acquaintances with Parkinsons going back to 1960s. I wish I could give you health back. It is so tough. I was on some of same drugs for sleep apnea briefly and they mess up your mind.

    Am over agitating on the evil book of faces. The protesting 1960s believer in all human rights regardless of color, creed, race, sex, religion, disability wasn’t buried too deeply.

    Stay around and don’t worry about typing errors. Not that important and it will give us interesting puzzles.

    Old Bear several years ago my youngest daughter listed all the cars her father and I had owned before and after we married looking up what we paid and there values as antiques.

    Some were quite valuable. She said we should have kept them. We asked exactly what warehouse or barn?

    The ’60’s are rushing back. Republicans are backing away in droves. The federal courts have stayed the order that Sally Yates was fired for not enforcing. Her “No” will not be the last. The election is over. This is not politics. This is a matter of humanity and what is wrong or right. I will try to not be obnoxious about it, but I cannot remain silent.

    Jackie:
    I know what you mean about cars we have owned.

    These are 50 pix of the WW&F by Kevin Madore winnowed down from 1,700 he took.

    The WW&F is trying to show what RR was like in first quarter of 20th century.
    And how it impacted the lives of people of Maine

    Nor I. This is NOT politics. It is humanity, justice and our country.

    My activism in 60s was positive actions mostly aimed at women’s rights, equality of minorities, races, sexes, disabilities. It still got me burned in effigy, marched against, preached against, a cross burned in yard. A lot for someone who never marched or rioted or raised a hand or voice in anger.

    Hope to repeat that record. Peace not people retaliating.

    Is it just me or does Steve Bannon look a lot like Sgt. Schultz?

    Another firing, More Republicans coming out against the chump. They’re welcome to cross the aisle. The Brits are considering banning him from the UK. State department employees are signing petitions. Quit now before it gets nasty. I see American goods sitting in warehouses and no one will touch them.

    Charlotte, the “thumbnails” you can see in the camera links…is it a row of them, looking like options? Scroll down, if you are able to scroll down. The actual live camera view for the link is displayed below. May have to wait a minute before display appears.

    Well, this is what I discovered after the first few attempts! Hope it helps.

    Even Sunday afternoon drives are fun with the top down. 🙂 With the benefit of sleeping in your own bed!
