Just wonderin'.....

I’ve heard it said, “if a man has nothing to say, he hadn’t ought’a say it.”
That particular witticism has never stopped me in the past so I see no reason to abide by it now.
I agree with the Sydney Greenstreet character in the Maltese Falcon who said, “Now sir, we’ll talk if you like. I’ll tell you right out I’m a man who likes talking to a man who likes to talk.”
We’re enjoying a brief respite from the rain altho’ it’s still cloudy & overcast. No matter, we’re gonna take this opportunity to run some errands - Post Office, pay some bills, etc - filled out our absentee ballots t’day, gotta get’em in the mail.....pretty simple ballot....vote y’r choice for Prez, no on all the props, sign & drop in the mail.....’course, we waited ‘til the last moment to get’em in the mail but as everyone knows, I’m a lifelong practioner of the art of procrastination & I fear I’ve infected Millyrose as well.....
I hear my friend, Mollie Burke Phillips, is doing well albeit still very weak.....when you get knocked down so far that bottom looks like up, you gotta expect to take a long time to get your sea legs back....but Mollie is tuff & I expect she’ll come roaring back...
I’ve been thinking about what Mitt had to say about bringing the auto jobs back to Michigan which has about a snowballs chance in hell of happening...OK, sumtimes I’m a slow thinker....anyway, someone pointed out to me that while Ford, GM, & Chrysler are losing money & moving mfg to other countries, Japanese manufacturers are building plants here in the US of A.....makes me wonder who knows what & why...
Ahh well, just wonderin’......Justin Other Smith
