Cold War Spook
Cold War Spook's JournalI am 75.
As a child, we lived in Boston. I think I was about 6 or 7 when I was fitted for my first suit. I wore a suit when we went out to dinner, the symphony, synagogue or any major function. We did not have a dress code at school, but all the boys wore button-down shirts, slacks, socks and polished shoes. The girls wore dresses or blouses and skirts, socks and shoes. My father sold truck tires and wore a suit even though he sometimes had to crawl under a truck. Even in the 90s, where I worked in Florida as a mainframe computer operator, even though we never saw a customer the men wore suits and the women wore dresses or blouses and skirts. I have never studied what dressing up does to you mentally, but I always have felt better about myself when wearing a suit. And yes, I too believe that alcohol is a bigger problem than weed, which I used far more frequently than alcohol when in the army and in college in the 60s.
The use of marijuana is illegal according to the federal government.
These are private companies. Therefore I feel that it is up to an employer to decide. Especially if the company has headquarters in a state where it is still illegal. What is next, do away with all dress codes?
How about a retort like
we will be more than happy to give these people all they need. Of course, this will mean that we will only be sending the same amount of money to Washington that we get back to tell the Red states that you decided these immigrants deserve it more than you do.
Someone has got to respond to him.
I imagine the tweet will be something like, He was referring to the nice Nazis.
I am a 75 year old man in good health.
I can't handle a big bike anymore and after riding for 56 years on the streets, I have decided to ride on the dirt. This is not about what bike I should ride or even if I should ride. That question I have already answered for myself. Do to too many very minor strokes I am on a blood thinner, Warfarin. My question is if you are or were in this position, would you continue the Warfarin with the chance you might end up with the bike on top of you and you would bleed out before help could get you to a hospital or would you stop the Warfarin and take the chance of a massive stroke? I think I have a better chance by taking the Warfarin.
I can only speak for myself.
After the army, I was homeless for almost three years. I had been diagnosed in the army as schizoid after one visit to the psychiatrist. I enjoyed being homeless, living where I wanted. The late 60s was a much better time to be homeless. I am just saying that there are many reasons people are homeless. This makes finding the ones that really need help difficult.
It might be fun.
I hope there is a scene where they fight each other by hitting each other with their walkers.
