Rev. Joe’s Random Thought #2,350

yeah I know you did not ask!

You should so be blessed – well cursed at times actually – with a mind such as mine, making all these weird connections between my rumored neurons. Just be thankful that I do not share all of my random thoughts.

Given the prevalence of the Irish curse on both sides of my family, I work very hard to monitor my drinking.  I am prone to a nightcap a few nights a week, and if we are socializing or partying I will have a few. I do this if for no other reason than the hangovers hurt like hell at my advanced age, plus it is not really how I want to live my life — in an altered state of mind.  We won’t even mention the havoc excessive alcohol consumption could have on your body.

HOWEVER, given the way this election cycle is going, I may violate my personal mandate and start drinking early election night, November 5th.  If tRump comes out the winner, I mostly likely will not stop until the next century. I cannot imagine living in a world that tRump and the Republicans with their 2025 agenda and bellying up to dictators will fashion.

May Shiva save us all.

There has been something niggling at the back of my brain for Continue reading “JD Vance – Escape from L.A.”
