The tho’t plickens.....

“Murder most foul” cried the garbage collector, tossing his cookies onto the road paved with good intentions...

Here t’is the twelfth of May ‘n how it got here so suddenly I will prob’ly never figure out....not that I couldn’t figure it out if I really wanted to, but the fact of the matter is that I don’t care enuff....
I describe m’self as a committed centrist, a middle of the roader, if you will ‘n I gotta tell ya that it ain’t the most comfortable place t’be at times...people say all the time that you should make a choice, pick a side ‘n stay the course...when you see a driver in front of you constantly changine lanes, y’say “Pick a lane, buddy, any lane!”
On the highway, a driver changing lanes like that is looking for an advantage, a chance to move up in traffic, to get ahead of the mob...come t’think of it, that’s much the same as politics, ain’t it? The thing is, nine times out’a ten, the guy taking chances changing lanes, speeding, trying to get ahead ends up sitting at the same redlight as everybody else. And the politician cutting corners just pisses people off ‘n makes ‘em want to send him (or her) to the end of the line. And the businessman (or men{or women}) cutting corners, taking advantage, cheating customers is apt to end up in jail....
But, as pretty much usual, I digress...again....what I was talking about is the centrist point of view ‘n how it basically compares with the view from the side...either side...right or left...what you see depends on your point of view...the scope of your vision...where you’re standing when you see an accident determines a lot of things, who you think is at fault, for example....but, your view is necessarily limited...as is the view from the other side...
‘n the farther off to the side you stand, the more limited your view...or viewpoint, if you will.
Now, it may seem as tho’ I’m saying that if you’re not standing in the middle of the road, you didn’t have a clear view so you don’t know what you’re talking about....
I ain’t saying that...every view will be a little different ‘n it’s only by comparing notes that the ‘truth will out’....
Now then, paraphrasing Mark Twain, “I ain’t ag’in a good lie. A well-told lie is much admired in some circles....
the mountains of Appalachia, for example, or the western plains....’course, that ain’t the only places....I’m told the teeming streets of New York fairly fester with
shining examples of outstanding stretchers of the truth....and Hollywood, where the movie studios put the ablest liars on the payroll....I digress, I know....I can’t seem to help m’self.....I think it’s time to stop now, I’ll digress more on the morrow.....that’s assuming that I stay on this side of the sod....
