On Pretty Good Authority

Today’s retro A&J is more antediluvian tech humor from barely five years ago. Presumably today they would both have a smart phone and would both be entitled to their own set of facts. Speaking of smart phones, I’ve discovered a strange phenomenon. My new phone has about four times the square footage of my old flip phone, but I’ve noticed it’s easier to lose! Maybe because it looks like a dozen other gadgets lying around the house. I’ve give some thought to what we discussed yesterday, the future of our retro feature, and I think I have come up with some ideas. I hope you’ll find them rather painless once implemented. Maybe we’ll run some experiments next week.

    I wanted to keep my dinner so I did not watch it. It doesn’t matter who wins the debates anyway. Only the election counts.

    I was in a odd mood when I looked at my Facebook requests so I posted one. Go look at it Mark and since she is fully clothed you can copy it here for Ghost.

    The many affluent men requests have vanished and the women started again. I know my appeal is the men on my friends list and usually I see people I actually know on the women’s list if they have a few shown.

    Never knew there was a National Coffee Day on 29 September. Here are some places with free or reduced coffee available then: http://time.com/money/4507797/free-coffee-national-coffee-day-2016/

    Looks more like the caption should read: Who, Us?

    I suppose the model is a perfectly nice person, but just not my cup(s) of tea.

    I put the caption. Yours is better. I thought we needed something of more appeal The our presidential candidates. Heck even I admired this enterprising young woman.

    Goodnight all you Waltons.

    Jackie, perhaps the blonde could crew for you, seeing as how she will bring her own Personal Flotation Devices to the party.

    She’s in France actually according to what she sent before I deleted. She wants my friends list. Don’t worry, you’re not on it. You get your own private anonymous off the radar classification. You’ll never be more than Ghostly.

    You know I float like a Mae West, all my life. Why I like to exercise in pool, exercise is easy. And uplifting.

    Truth is I am honest enough to find other women beautiful. My part time housekeeper is one of most stunningly beautiful young women I have ever seen. She is half Native American, half Irish, deep red, long hair, a face like a fairy from the Rings and a voluptuous body she seems unconscious of.

    This is a characteristic few women seem to possess, being able to admire others. I am totally heterosexual and can only think of one compellingly beautiful lesbian I have met lately. Don’t ask why I meet so many gay and lesbian friends, just always have.

    Have a blessed Tuesday….
