A Reminder For Everyone Losing Their Minds Needlessly
Good Morning World
I made this picture back on July 29th. I captioned it “A Possible Future.” Only one person noticed it on social media. The attacks in Paris make it relevant.
I had made this for my “The Old Man Chronicles” series and put it in a folder for later. The quote applies to so much of what I’m hearing and reading from people who seek simplicity solely to feel like they are doing something.
A Friday Afternoon…
I’m poking fun at my wife, who is meticulous and meticulous. Did I mention meticulous?
A Brilliant Tuesday!
Enjoy The Show

An Observation…
Donald Trump Loves A.1. Sauce!
Although Kraft foods might not enjoy the witty reference, at least now we know why the Donald is seen so often with a bottle of the condiment. (With regards to Andy Borowitz.)
Mike Rowe Should Slow Down and Think….
If someone says, “I’ve got a picture of folks working hard in the cotton fields,” why do people assume that there are slaves in the picture? Cotton was the territory of the poor.
My mom was literally born in the cotton fields and her family did the harsh work in them.
Mike Rowe has created a controversy by assuming that a news anchor had a picture of slaves on her wall as inspiration. That’s just illogical. Cotton field workers weren’t all slaves – but they were all poor and had to work like their lives depended on it – because it did.
(I’m not a follower of either Mike Rowe or Melissa Harris-Perry.)
Mike Rowe butchered logic by pinning an entire viral social media argument on the premise that Ms. Harris had a picture of slaves to define “hard work” for her. She said she had a picture of folks working the cotton fields. That picture could literally be a photo of my ancestors – and none of them were either black nor slaves. It is so easy to create a whirlwind where none need exist if you are more interested in earning a living fanning the fires on social media than you are in trying to get to the gist of what someone is saying and believes.
City of Springdale, Ar, New Flag
A few days ago, someone recommended that I watch a TED talk from Roman Mars. I designed a flag for Springdale. After avoiding the obvious and funny temptations to place an angry chicken on there, I made 378 iterations. I ended up with something which plays by the rules – a rarity for me.
