Muslim Modesty

hijabI was driving in downtown St. Louis on my way to work.  On my left, walking on the side walk, was a Muslim woman dressed in a long, white skirt, a colorful long sleeve blouse with a high collar, and a long flowing hijab.  The hijab was the style that is tight around the face like the coif of a nun’s old school habit. After all a Muslim women should be prim and properly attired in public.  Modesty is the goal sought.

She crossed the street in front of my vehicle, Continue reading “Muslim Modesty”

Freeway Love

I left early enough, I thought, to beat the worse of the morning rush hour traffic.  Boy was I wrong. What is a 30 minute drive on the weekend, turned into over an hour.  It was stop and go, go and stop, creep along, and an occasional burst of speed of 30 mph or so.

It was at one of these stalled points that I noticed the couple behind me via the aid of my rearview mirror.  What first got my attention was that they were making out like crazy every time the traffic stopped.  The fellow was tall, wearing a cap, and the sun visor was down so I could not see him clearly.  He struck as a bubba type which did not make sense as he was driving a nearly new Audi SUV.  The gal was blonde with skin that had not seen Continue reading “Freeway Love”

And this man wants to be my President…

Actual Donald Trump sentence.  And this man believes he is qualified to President of these here United States of America.  Sigh…

“Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist  and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart —you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the
smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you’re a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Continue reading “And this man wants to be my President…”

Rev. Joe’s Random Thought # 6,214

yeah I know you did not ask!

So I sitting in rush hour traffic behind an Audi TT convertible.  We are moving at the pace of the prodigal snail.  I notice the license plate holder on the Audi.  It reads, “I’d rather be diving.”  I think to myself, “I’d rather be driving.”

Tiny Hands, Tiny Hands

There several interesting lines in this article linked to below, but my favorite two are the opening two sentences:

“On Monday, Donald Trump talked about the economy on television for an hour. That may have exceeded the graduate-level curriculum at Trump University.“

yeah I know you did not ask!

If more drivers handled their vehicles like middle-aged men on motorcycles, the fatality rate from automobile accidents might not go to zero, but it definitely would drop dramatically.

They Almost Had It Right

I was walking through one of big box stores that dominant the American retail landscape.  TrumpHeaded towards the checkout was white male in the 3oish… 40ish age bracket.  He had on a t-shirt the front of which read,”DONALD FUCKIN’ TRUMP’.  The back read,”IF YOU DON’T BLEED RED, WHITE & BLUE, TAKE YOUR BITCHIN’ ASS HOME”

I started to say something to this individual, then  reminded myself that you cannot argue with stupid.

I’m not a prude, but wearing a t-shirt with profanity on it is a line no one should cross.  Continue reading “They Almost Had It Right”

Math, What a Concept

So I go into Menard’s to buy some oak boards for a project.  The total comes to $26 and change.  The checkout clerk pointed out to me that they had a promotion going that week.  If you filled out a coup0n and sent it in you received a 11% rebate on your purchase.

Not knowing what the total was before taxes I just spit-balled Continue reading “Math, What a Concept”
