We’re sorry. The blog-site that you are currently attempting to connect with, is temporarily out of service…. because we’re on a
JOURNEY
If you’re reading this, it means that my unpaid assistant has done his unpaid job, and clicked ‘Publish’ for this post, which I left queued-up for him. I am not sufficiently tech-savvy to be left unsupervised with a ‘schedule post’ program. In fact, only recently, Bell Canada insisted that I give up my rotary-dial telephone.
It was the last one in my telephone exchange area, and they couldn’t afford to maintain my ‘clickety-click’ system, along with the new beep-beep boop-boop one. I guess they can’t blow the dust out of the new fibre-optic lines, the way they used to with the old electrical ones.
If we merely go to Detroit for some weekend shopping, should a medical situation arise, it’s a quick trip back across the border into socialized-medicine land. For a week away, 12 hours drive from the nearest Canada, we will be purchasing out-of-country medical insurance from CAA, AAA’s little brother. Please, nobody mention ‘giddy’ as a pre-existing condition.
We’re not allowed to bring anything toxic back, so we’ll stay away from all Tweets. We might get close enough to the White House to hear that twit Trump, trumpet. We might even get to see him playing bocce ball on the front lawn with the North Korean Rocket Man, using nuclear warheads.
We’ll be staying west of DC proper, just left of where Donald Trump hangs out these days. Of course with Trump, pretty much everyone is to his political left. Someone should censor him by slipping him a placebo smart-phone, that only looks like it’s actually working.
It’s a good thing that there’s a 140 character limit on Twitter. Can you imagine how many people he could offend with 300? He should be put on Twitter-Lite….only 14 characters. He has surrounded himself with quite a few characters, some of whom last longer than others because they can say, “Yes, Mr. President. You’re absolutely right, sir.”
This journey is the ‘We’re Going To Rants’ and ‘Sisterhood Of The Blog’ trip that I’ve been threatening you with for months. We’ll be out of our minds the country for about a week, so, there’ll be no new posts for a while, and likely damned few responses to comments, so feel free to talk about us among yourselves for a while.
I’d suggest that, after reading this post, you get some rest, because I’m sure that I’ll have a shopping bag full of fun facts and photos when we get back.
‘Journey’ is an ‘80s, San Francisco rock band. If you click, they’ll tell you how much I Don’t Stop Believing that this is one of the greatest adventures of my life. I’ll see you back here soon, with a big smile on my face. 😀 😎 🌯
