I have just a few more thoughts rattling around in my brain but just a few so let's mix those with Christmas and some news .
Christmas is fast approaching and I can't wait for that brand new red corvette to be sitting in my driveway.
I worked almost every Christmas Eve and ALWAYS arrested someone who didn't understand the spirit of the holiday and that's a true story. Some of the highlights: A drunken Santa walking down the middle of the road and refusing to move to the sidewalk, two brothers wrestling on top of a fallen Christmas tree in the living room with Mom screaming in the background, a drunken burglar who robbed a house while the family was at mass and staggering down the street carrying the stolen gifts, a DUI for a man who ran into the side of the church while midnight mass was ongoing because he was late for the service, a woman who stabbed her husband because she didn't get the leather coat that she had already seen the receipt for and chased him into the street yelling "who's your whore?" Classic.
Ah, the spirit of the season.
Nat King Cole singing "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire" with the actual title being "The Christmas Song."
I told everyone a few weeks back that Matthew Perry was one of the few comedians who could make me laugh out loud and I was glad he had straightened his life out but the news today from the coroner was so disappointing because the report indicates that the "clean & sober" Perry's cause of death was KETAMINE, which put him asleep and led to his drowning in the hot tub. FYI... a first possession of ketamine in Illinois is 4-15 years. So sad that he couldn't slay the dragon.
Remember the 1st grader who brought mom's gun to school and shot his teacher.....TWICE....?? Well, mom got two years in prison today for child neglect on top of another 2 years for lying on her application and lying to investigators when she said the kid got it out of her safe when the facts were the kid climbed on a chair and took the gun out of her purse. Detectives searched the house and found no safe, lock box or even a trigger lock.
I still remember riding that brand new red bike in my pajamas on Christmas morning. Twenty degrees? Who cares because I have a new bike!
Glad my brother Terry is doing much better after his second surgery.
Frank & Bonnie's new place in Florida is awesome.
Outside decorations is a lost activity.
I found 197 feet of LED lights for twenty bucks on Amazon. One string and no blown fuses or circuit breakers. Ah, the wonder of LED lighting. Hardly any juice required but as bright as can be.
A mall Santa makes $20 an hour in Illinois.
My Aunt Alma had an efficiency apartment in Chicago but we squeezed at least 10 adults in there on Christmas Eve.
I just replaced the halogen bulb in my driveway security light all by myself....on a ladder! YAHOO! I have no idea if it works until tonight.
I still laugh at my Mother buying "Mexican" sarapes for all the adult women one Christmas and then insisting that they all pose together for pictures. Still don't know what she was thinking but every time I see Clint Eastwood in 'Fistful of Dollars' I think of that photo and laugh. My mom was a huge fan of FINGERHUT for bargains. Like sarapes. 😝
The weather looks clear for Christmas weekend. Good for the parents but disappointing for the kids, They'll get over it.
Culver's butter burgers. Yes.
Barb & Tony's Christmas Eve open house.
Mayor Big Teeth of Chicago is finally admitting there is a crime problem in the city. DUH. 13% overall increase in crime. robbery up 14%. Theft up 15%. and my favorite....motor vehicle theft UP 133% !!!!! And if you go south of Madison Street, you better be in an armored vehicle.
Ladies, as I told Gwen the other day, it should be automatic to lock your doors while you're driving around. The ghetto rats look at a woman as easy prey and when you stop at a traffic light, BINGO. You get yanked out of your car and they take your purse and cell phone and push you down on the street and drive away in your car. If you're lucky, that's all that happens. And no, you won't have time to pull your legal conceal carry weapon out of your purse or glove compartment or console to defend yourself. LOCK YOUR DOORS.
Snow on Christmas Eve is pretty neat.
I haven't been to church since co-vid arrived. Is it time to go back to church? And now I read that co-vid is back in the neighborhood. Arrrrgggh.
Is there such a thing as a GOOD frozen pizza? LMK please.
I'm still waiting for Danny Pretzel to take me fishing. Maybe this year. Maybe not.
That situation in Texas is horrific. Pregnant lady is told the baby will not survive and her health is in jeopardy if she goes full term but the neo-nazi Texas courts won't allow her to have an abortion because it 'doesn't meet OUR criteria for abortion.' Freaking incredible. She has left Texas to have the procedure done in a more compassionate state.
I wonder why a Democrat wastes any time at all campaigning in that state.
Oberweiss eggnog is the absolute best. Heated with a splash of rum makes it even better.
For a guy with a bad hip, this shopping over the phone and then driving over to the Jewel and have them load it into the car. Awesome.
Ok, I think that's it so if we don't talk before the 25th, have a safe and happy holiday!
