      "BOLO" "BE ON THE LOOKOUT " The spring equinox had just ebbed itself out of the yearly calendar and the summer Solistics had just come into its own. The trees were full of newborn leaves and fruits were begging to be picked and to be savored by humanity. The swans floated on the lakes that looked like glass, the sky was punctuated by the birds that brought sweet songs to our ears. All this was under the glorious heaven on a summer day, and there was peace even for just a moment, for the world to catch its breath and to enjoy what the good Lord has made for us.  Just when one would think all is well with the world a " BOLO"  notice was sent out from the handmaidens who lived across the river Thames the two sisters  MI-6 to MI-5   " Religious Upheaval ". The Pope had many grievances with the non-catholic world, that world was quickly going out of control, the treasury was being rapidly being depleted due to past missteps and violation of huma...

   Rudeness The Primal Instinct . Rudeness is very much an instinct that walks with us constantly hand in hand with politeness and social mores. It is great to be rude which frees you of etiquette and respect for the people above your class and status in life. Many people on stage ply this facet of life in the performance of their entire career. Comedians recognize this undercurrent of emotion and use it with dry wit and sarcasm daily. Hobos and their companion rest and sleep on the other side of the railroad tracks, and warm themselves with bonfires and simmering ambers. Darkness is ideal for misbegotten, and misery and despair abound in every corner and every hobo camp. Rudeness reigns supreme and politeness left the camp on the first train out of this hobo camp. There used to be right and wrong and the night was night and the day was full of promise, but now it is hard to say as the world has become a dark place for the young, old, the homeless, and the misbegotten.  D...

  THE ODD COUPLE: NOT FORGOTTEN. The marriage of very cold icy Coke and salty Peanuts. Some who have lived in the southern part of the USA have never heard of this and some have.  It's the best combination ever, it's a friend of the hungry, the meek, the poor, traveling preachers, the miners and hobos, and mechanics with dirty hands.

  NUMBERED DAYS FOR ALL WHO WERE BORN. Dear brethren, it seems that we are in the minority as there are very few centenarians walking alongside us today . Long gone are the times and individuals who lived beyond the age of one hundred. This list grows shorter every year. Some of us in the minority look towards religion to soothe and satisfy our quest for wisdom, to give us peace of mind and guidance at this late stage of the game of life. But some of us are so steeped in the world wantonness that we pay no heed to what we are about to face. It has been said, that when our soul leaves our earthly body, sure the body turns to dust but what about the soul. When angels come to escort you to the judgment seat say no more, say no less just in case the angels do not like what you say, they might find you unworthy and bring you back to purgatory or worse. So thank God for every day and the blessing in it, praise the Lord, ask for the forgiveness of your sins, and pray for wisdom.  God...
