AND SOME LIKE THEY ARE NOW.
I have a multitude of thoughts running through my mind. I try to write them down when I think of them, cause if I don't they run right out of my mind and I forget to post about them. So, I will post a couple of thoughts today of some things I remembered to write down. I'll even number them.
1. BLM. I was raised in a farming and ranching community. When I see or hear these letters I automatically think Bureau of Land Management. And I always will..... that means period...
2. TV reporters. I was around when TV reporters reported the news. Just the news. If you wanted commentary, you went somewhere else. Reporters like Walter Cronkite on CBS, Chet Huntley and David Brinkley on NBC. I liked them and viewed them regularly. I actually met David Brinkley once, back in the 1960's. Even though our paths crossed, he was not there to interview me so it was a brief moment in time and then gone. I remember that now these many decades later. He probably forgot I even existed moments after the meeting was over. Still, I liked his style, second to Walters.
3. Do you ever watch those shows on TV where they are remodeling houses. It seems to me there are two styles. Ultra modern, whatever that means, or southwest design. And it seems to me that there is a lot of southwest design going around. Can't say that I blame them, I like southwest design also. Course, I was born and raised and live here. Lucky me.
4. I keep hearing the talking heads on TV now mention the A listers or the Elite. Just how did these people become elite? They have a profession for the most part playing someone that may or may not exist. A good movie or play is essential for most of us to escape the rigors and cares of the world for a short time. And those that can entertain us in that manner and do so in a good manner are essential. Just like a Dr. or lawyer or someone of any other profession such as a welder or plumber or truck driver or school teacher. Just pick a profession. All should be A Listers or elite, not just some one that feels they are superior to the rest of us, just because they can play act like fake people.
5. And of course I have to end on a political note. The news is full of stories of President Trump calling veterans losers. But the news also quotes an unnamed source. Just have to wonder who that would be. There is miles of footage of the President saying things that are considered by many to be inappropriate. I can almost, and I said almost, be sure that he did not say this since there is no one who filmed or recorded this. If it was recorded or filmed, then put it out there in front of the public for people to see, in full context. It is well known his feelings about John McCain and some have made reference to this. I know the President says a lot of things that he shouldn't say, I just have skeptical feelings about this one. And Michael Cowen. Is he to be believed. He admitted in an interview that he had lied about a lot of things, but he was not lying now. And why was he not lying? he was ask. Well, because they threatened his wife if he didn't tell the truth. So, is he telling the truth, or is he lying to save his wife? Or a combination of both. Time will tell. We can always hope.
AND THAT'S THE VIEW FROM THE DITCH BANK
