VISITING NON-COMMUNITY MEMBERS, DRESSED IN MILITARY GEAR, MARCH DOWN THE STREETS OF TOWN WITH TORCHES, ERIE, CREEPY, SCARY . . . KKK, NEO-NAZI'S, NATIONALISTS, AND WHITE SUPREMACISTS SQUARE OFF THE FOLLOWING MORNING, AGAINST, ANTI-FASCISTS. THE CHARLOTTESVILLE CITY COUNCIL, UNDER THE DIRECTION OF MAYOR, RECENTLY DECIDED TO REMOVE A STATUE OF CONFEDERATE GENERAL, ROBERT E. LEE, CIVIL WAR OVER STATE'S RIGHTS AND SLAVERY. THE MURRADORS, SAID THEY WANTED TO RETURN, THE STATE, TO THE NATIONALIST BEGINNINGS, WITH WHITE MEN IN CONTROL. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE NATIVE AMERICANS? YOU, DUMBASSES, ARE OF IMMIGRANT STATUS! JUST LIKE THE BLACKS, LATINOS, ASIANS, AND OTHERS. THE STREETS OF CHARLOTTESVILLE, HIT THE CULTURAL BOILING POINT, WHEN, THE UNLAWFUL GATHERING AND DEMONSTRATION, BY HATE GROUPS, CLASHED WITH COUNTER-PROTESTERS, INTERRUPTED BY A WHITE SUPREMACIST, WHO RAN HIS CAR INTO A CROWD OF COUNTER-PROTESTERS, KILLING 1 WOMAN, AND SENDING 19 OTHERS TO THE HOSPITAL. GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA, MCAULIFFE, PROMPTLY CONDEMNED, THE SEPERATISTS, IS WHAT I AM GOING TO CALL THEM, NOT PART OF AMERICA, WITHOUT THE GOALS AND DESIRES OF THE COUNTRY, NOT WHERE WE ARE GOING, NOT THE VISION OF THE PREAMBE OF A MORE PERFECT UNION, WITH DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY, GENERAL WELFARE, COMMON DEFENSE, JUSTICE FOR ALL, PROSPERITY FOR ALL, LIBERTY FOR ME AND MY POSTERITY! IT IS A DISGRACE, THAT SOME OF THESE MEN, WERE WEARING, MILITARY UNIFORMS, WITH "MP" OR MILITARY POLICE, PATCHES ON THEIR SLEAVES, BRINGING CONDEMNATION, ON OUR MILITARY, THAT IN THE WORLDS, OF WARRIOR SCHOLAR, RESPONDING TO THE INCIDENT, ON "FACE THE NATION" THIS MORNING, GENERAL, H.R. MCMASTERS, NOW NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR, WHO SAID, THAT THOSE SERVING IN THE MILITARY, FIGHT SIDE BY SIDE WITH ALL RACES, NATIONALITIES, CREEDS, RELIGIONS, COLORS, SEXES, AGES, AND GENDERS, TRANS, INCLUDED . . . THEY ARE ALL IN THIS TO PROTECT THE COUNTRY, OUR INTERESTS, OUR ALLIES, AND DIVISIONS, BETWEEN THEM, DOESN'T WORK, NO MAN LEFT BEHIND, MENTALITY, WHERE LOVE, COMRADERY, SOLDIERS IN ARMS, ALL FIGHTING TOGETHER FOR THE SAME THING, AND THAT ULITMATELY, IS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! WHEN, ALL IS SAID AND DONE, WE ARE ALL FUCKING AMERICANS, AND WE SHOULD, ONCE AND FOR ALL, DEAL WITH THE HURT AND PAIN, THAT, THE CIVIL WAR, SLAVERY, CAUSES, OUR, BROTHERS AND SISTERS, IN AMERICA . . . IT IS TIME, TO MOVE ON, GET A NEW HISTORY, AND PUT RACISM AND OTHER KINDS OF "ISMS" BEHIND US, FOREVER! UNITED NATIONS SECRETARY, NKKI HALLIE, STARTED THIS MOVEMENT, FIRST, LAST YEAR, WHEN, SHE AS GOVERNOR OF, I BELIEVE, SOUTH CAROLINA, ORDERED THE CONFEDERATE FLAG, THAT HUNG HIGH OVER THE CITY, OF THE STATE CAPITOL, AND RETIRED IT, TO SOME OTHER PART OF THE CITY, ALONG WITH SEVERAL CIVIL WAR, STATUES, NOT FORGOTTEN, BUT, CHANGING THE FOCUS OF THE CITY AND STATE, TO EVOLVE, AND MOVE BEYOND, WHAT THOSE SYMBOLS OF THE PAST REPRESENT, NOT ONLY TO BLACKS, BUT TO WHITES AS WELL! WE HAVE SEEN THE HORRORS, OF THE DECADES, AND WHAT, IT TOOK THIS COUNTRY, TO MOVE BEYOND SLAVERY, JIM CROW LAWS, SEGREGATION, AND OTHER REMINENTS OF SLAVERY AND DISCRIMINATION, WE HAVE SEEN OUR BLACK BROTHERS AND SISTERS, SUFFER, BEYOND THEIR REPRESENTATION OF POPULATION IN THIS COUNTRY, AND WE ARE ALL, SICK AND TIRED OF IT, AND SWIFT, CONDEMNATION, FROM EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY, PRESIDENT TRUMP, WHO CONDEMNED, GENERAL VIOLENCE, BUT REFUSES, TO PUT DOWN, AND DENOUNCE, FORMER KKK GRAND WIZARD, DAVID DUKE, THERE YESTERDAY, NEO-NAZI'S, NATINOALISTS, SITTING RIGHT IN THE WHITE HOUSE, BANNON, KKK, WHO U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL, JEFF SESSIONS, ONLY DISTANCED HIMSELF, BECAUSE, THEY SMOKED POT? THERE WAS NOTHING MORE OFFENSIVE? GOOD GOD, MAN? THE 5TH AND 14TH AMENDMENT, ARE THE EMBODIMENT OF CIVIL AND CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS FOR ALL CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES . . . PEOPLE CANNOT BE DEPRIVED OF LIFE, LIBERTY AND PROPERTY WITHOUT, DUE PROCESS OF LAW . . . NO STATE CAN DENY, RIGHTS AND PRIVILEGES, THAT THE UNITED STATES, GUARANTEES, AND STATES CANNOT DISCRIMINATE BECAUSE, OUR SYSTEM IS, BASED ON DUE PROCESS, NOTICE AND A HEARING, AND EQUAL PROTECTION OF LAW! EQUAL IS EQUAL! WORLDPAC. HELLO WORLD. WE ARE THE WORLD'S MELTING POT! AMERICA IS THE MOST DIVERSE, COUNTRY, AND IRONICALLY, FOR ABOUT 200 YEARS, IT HAS BEEN AN ECONOMIC AND GLOBAL SUPER POWER, AND THAT IS, I BELIEVE, DUE TO THE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM ALL CULTURES, RACES, RELIGIONS, CREEDS, COLORS, SEXES, AGES, GENDERS, ETC. ADVANCES IN ALL AREAS OF LIFE, HAVE COME FROM ALL OVER THE PLANET, AND LUCKY FOR AMERICA, MANY OF THESE SEERS, EVENTUALLY LAND IN AMERICA! JUST THIS MORNING ON PUBLIC RADIO, THERE WAS AN AUTHOR OF A NEW BOOK, CALLED, NEW AGING NOW: LIVE SMARTER NOW TO LIVE BETTER LATER, BY MATTIUS POVICH, I THINK . . . HE IS A GERMAN, WITH A STRONG ACCENT, BUT LIVES NOW, IN NEW YORK, AND I BELIEVE HE CO-AUTHORED THE BOOK, WITH, SOMEONE FROM JAPAN, AND THE TWO, TAKE THE NOTION THAT, WE NEED TO STOP CALLING AND LUMPING, THE TERM HE HATES, "ELDERLY" INTO A GROUP, RATHER THAN, THE INDIVIDUALS THEY ARE AND HAVE ALWAYS BEEN, AND TAKING SOME OF THE EASTERN WAYS, OF MAKING YOUR HOME, REFLECT, A FREER, EASIER, FLOW, THAT TENDS TO MAKE LIFE AND MOVEMENT EASIER, AS WE AGE . . . THEY SUGGEST THAT US, OLD FOGGIES, START, OR TRY FOR ONE DAY, TO FILL A SUITCASE, AND PULL IT AROUND, THE HOUSE WITH US, AND MARK THE HARD PLACES TO MANUVER, GOING IN AND OUT OF PLACES, SEEING THAT EVENTUALLY, AS WE AGE, WE SLOW DOWN, WE CAN CARRY MORE WEIGHT, AND MOVEMENT IS HARDER, AND MIGHT INCLUDE A WHEELCHAIR. THE AUTHOR'S INCLUDED, LOOKING AT OUR HOMES, AS A HEALTH AND FITNESS CENTER, WHERE, WE HAVE ROOM TO DO YOGA, STRETCH, WORK OUT, WHILE, USING STAIRS, AND GETTING THE MOST OUT OF OUR LIVING SPACES WITHOUT GOING TO THE GYM, THAT GETS HARDER AND HARDER, AS THE WEATHER CHANGES AND OUR BONES AND BODS, AGE. BOTH ARE IMMIGRANTS, TO THIS COUNTRY, AND THEY ARE MAKING WONDERFUL, ADVANCES, GIVING US INSIGHT AND MEANING TO OUR LIVING SITUATIONS. THE RADIO INTERVIEWER, WENT ON TO ASK, THESE EUROPEAN IMMIGRANTS, WHO LOVE, NEW YORK, WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE EUROPEAN LIFESTYLE AND THE AMERICAN LIFESTYLE? THEY SAID, THAT EUROPEANS, TEND TO STAY STABLE AND LIVE, DECADES OF NOT A LIFETIME IN THE SAME PLACE, THAT CULTIVATE, DEEP ROOTS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, AND THEY ARE VERY SOCIAL, WITH FOOD, AND THAT SOLIDIFIES, MUCH OF THEIR SOCIAL LIFE AND TIME. AMERICANS ON THE OTHER HAND, TEND TO BE MUCH MORE MOBILE, MOVE ALL THE TIME AND ARE IN A CONSTANT STATE OF CHANGE, MAKING IT HARDER TO PLANT ROOTS, AND SOCIALIZE AROUND FOOD, THE KITCHEN, AND MAKING LASTING INVESTMENTS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS AND SURROUNDINGS. THERE ARE PLUSES AND MINUSES FOR BOTH TYPES OF LIVING, THEY ARE JUST DIFFERENT. BUT WE HAVE MUCH TO LEARN FROM ALL COUNTRIES! LAST NIGHT, AT THE HAMMOND HOUSE, WE HAD A TOUR AND RAW TRAVEL GUIDE, THROUGH, ANCIENT CITIES AND CIVILIZATIONS, WALKED WHERE, MARC ANTHONY AND CLEOPATRA WALKED, WHERE MY PERSONAL FAV. THE APOSTLE PAUL, WALKED, AND TAUGHT, WROTE HIS EPISTLES, AND GAVE BIRTH TO CHRISTIANITY, IN THAT ARE OF THE WORLD, WE LEARNED ABOUT, ST. GEORGE, WHO'S STATUE, STILL PRESIDES OVER THESE ANCIENT AND MAGNIFICENT RUINS, OF EPHESIS. AMERICA IS A YOUNG CULTURE AND COUNTRY. THE OLDEST HOMES, WE HAVE OTHER THAN, OR TRUE FOUNDING FATHERS, THE NATIVES, ARE ROUGHLY, YOUNGER THAN, 400 TO 500 YEARS OLD . . . SOME OF THESE CULTURES, ARE ANCIENT, AND HAVE THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF HISTORY WE CAN LEARN FROM AND STOP BEING THE UGLY AMERICANS, THINKING WE HAVE THE LAST WORD ON ALL THINGS! I THINK OF CHINA'S LACK OF GLEE, AT GETTING INVOLVED WITH, NORTH KOREA. THEY ARE SMART, THEY HAVE LEARNED PERHAPS, THAT THE PEOPLE SUFFER WHEN, THE ARE IN A CONSTANT STATE OF WAR! I SAW A CNN SPECIAL, OF SHANGHI, WITH 150 BILLIONAIRES, AND THE THING THAT STRUCK ME THE MOST, WAS THIS BILLIONAIRE, ATTRIBUTED THE NEW CLASS OF CHINESE MONEY MAKERS, TO THE FACT THAT, THEY DON'T GO TO WAR WITH ANYONE! LOL. THEY HAVE NOT FOR A LONG TIME! AMERICA IS YOUNG AND FULL OF CUM! THE CHINESE HAVE BEEN ROUND, HAVE RULED THE WORLD, HAVE BEEN WARRIORS, THE TERRICOTTA WARRIORS, BUT THAT IS IN THEIR ANCIENT HISTORY . . . NOW THEY BUILD SUPER HIGHWAYS, ELECTRIC TRAINS, MASSIVE SKYSCRAPERS, AND THEY ARE ALL GETTING VERY WEALTHY AND LIVING A STANDARD OF LIVING, THAT WE DREAM OF, FOR THE MOST PART, OF PEACE, AND PROSPERITY. THE DAY AND AGE OF THE VIKING, THE WARRIOR, THE STRONG MAN, HAS BEEN REPLACED BY THE DIPLOMAT, THE GLOBAL CITIZEN, THE GREATER AMOUNT OF GOOD FOR THE WORLD, BECAUSE, WE ALL RISE AND FALL TOGETHER, ECONOMICALLY, THROUGH TRADE, AND JOINED BY SOCIAL MEDIA AND THE WEB! CONGRESSMAN, DAVID BRAT, COMMENTED ON THE STATE OF CHARLOTSVILLE, AND HE SAID, WE HAVE NO TOLERANCE FOR THOSE WITH HATE IN THEIR HEARTS! HE ATTENDED THE SAME UNIVERSITY OR SEMINARY THAT FOUNDING FATHER, THOMAS JEFFERSON, ATTENDED, AND LEARNED THE JUDEO-CHRISTIAN, PRINCIPLES THE FOUNDING FATHERS, RELIED ON, BUT LEFT THEIR INDIVIDUAL RELIGIONS AT THE DOOR, TO CREATE A SECULAR GOVERNMENT THAT "INCLUDED" ALL PEOPLE, WHO CAME TO AMERICA! HE QUOTED ONE OF MY FAVORITE SCRIPTURES, "GOD IS NO RESPECTOR OF PEOPLE, MALE, FEMALE, BLACK, WHITE, JEW, GENTILE! WHAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY, IS NOT WANTED, WILL NOT BE TOLERATED, AND WE ARE GOING TO TAKE ACTIONS TO STOP THEIR UNAMERICAN ACTIVITIES. THE PRESDIENT, WAS CONDEMNED, FOR NOT DENOUCING THE KKK, DAVID DUKE, THE NEO-NAZI'S, WHITE SUPERMACISTS, AND NATIONALISTS! ONE WONDERS, WHEN, TRUMP CONTINUALLY, TRASHED, PRESIDENT OBAMA AND SEC. OF STATE, HILLARY CLINTON, FOR NOT CALLING "RADICAL EXTREMIST TERRORISTS" EXACTLY, NAMING AND CALLING THEM, WHAT THEY FUCKING ARE . . . SO, WHAT IS PREVENTING THE PRESIDENT FROM NAMING, THESE SAME GROUPS, WHO PARTICIPATED IN A TERRORIST ATTACK, MUCH, LIKE WE ALL SAW IN PARIS, TERRORISTS, USING, TRUCKS, CARS, AND OTHER MOTORIZED VEHICLES TO SLAM INTO CROWDS, PROTESTERS OR PEOPLE ENJOYING THE NIGHTLIFE! THESE HITLER LOVE MAGGOTS, DEPLORABLES, DISPICABLES, ARE NOT WELCOME, NOT WANTED, AND WILL NOT BE ENTERTAINED OR ALLOWED TO BE HOMEGROWN TERRORISTS, HELL BENT ON DESTROYING THE GRAND VISION OF AMERICA! THE PREAMBLE IS BASICALLY, THE GOSPEL, OF JESUS CHRIST, IN LAW! REV. SETH WISPELWEY, DENOUNCED THE VIOLENCE, AND SAID THAT THESE HATE GROUPS, VIOLENT IDEOLOGIES, CRUSHES, TOO MANY HUMAN SIBLINGS . . . JESUS SPOKE OUT AGAINST, VIOLENCE AND EVIL, AND WHAT WE SAW IN CHARLOTSVILLE, DEMONSTRATED BOTH! HE IS LEADING, THE COMMUNITY, THE COLLEGE AND OTHERS INTERESTED, IN CHANGING, AND IMPROVING, EVEN BEING BETTER, THAN BEFORE, THIS INCIDENT, TO JOIN HIM, IN ACTIVITIES, EVENTS, AND HEALING BY ENGAGING IN HONEST AND HARD CORE CONVERSATIONS, GETTING TO THE BOTTOMLINE AND ISSUES OF RACISM, AND THE WHY? CRITICAL THINKERS AND ANALYTICAL BRAINS, NEEDED . . . WHY AFTER ALL THIS TIME, ALL THE FIGHTS, ALL THE CLASHES, OF HISTORY, DO THESE HATE GROUPS, FEEL, FIRST ENTITLED TO GO INTO A CITY, WHO, BASED ON A REPRESENTATIVE FORM OF GOVERNMENT, THROUGH THE REPRESENATATIVES, THE COMMUNITY AND CITY ELECTED AND TRUSTED, DISCUSSED, THE REMOVAL OF THE STATUE, AND SAW IT IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF NOT ONE SEGMENT OF SOCIETY, BUT ALL CITIZENS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES, TO REMOVE, THIS SYMBOL OF THE CIVIL WAR! SO IN ESSENCE, THESE PARA-MILITARY MEMBERS OF THESE HATE GROUPS, WHO, WERE NOT, LOCAL, NOBODY RECOGNIZED THEM WITH A MISSION TO RESTORE, WHAT THEY "PRECIEVE" IN THEIR, LIMITED, CLOSED, AND INTELLECTUALLY DEPRIVED, CESS POOL, OF SWAMP DWELLERS AND SNAKE PITS, AS THE ORDER OF AMERICA, THAT HAS A BASES IN FUCKING NOTHING AND IS FOUND, SUPPORTED, ONLY ON BRIETBART AND THE DAILY STORM, BULL SHIT, NOT MINE, BUT SOME WHITE SUPREMACIST NEWSLETTER! WHERE DOES THIS SHIT COME FROM? IT IS SURELY, NOT IN THE CONSTITUTION, NOT IN THE FOUNDING DOCUMENTS, NOT IN U.S. SUPREME COURT, PRECEDENCE, AFTER ABOUT, THE 1900'S! WE ARE NOT GOING WITH YOU, LOSERS, WE ARE HEADING THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF YOUR ASSES! GET A FUCKING CLUE, YOU ARE VIOLATING THE LAWS, AND VERY FOUNDATION OF THIS COUNTRY AND ALL IT IS FOUNDED ON! THE REV. PUT A WORD IN, AGAINST, THOMAS JEFFERSON, FEELLING THAT HE, WAS NOT, FOLLOWING CHRIST, NOR HIS JUDEO-CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES, NOR DID HE THINK THAT . . . BUT, SCRIPTURE, OF EQUALITY IN GOD'S EYES, IS WHAT, HE FOLLOWED, WHETEHR HE KNEW IT OR NOT! WE HAVE EVOLVED AS PEOPLE, AS CITIZENS, AS INDIVIDUALS, SO WHY CAN'T WE ALLOW OUR FOUNDING FATHERS, WHO HAD THE INSIGHTS, BASED ON THE IDEA, THAT PEOPLE, SHOULD NOT INFRINGE ON PERSONS OR PROPERTY, AND THEY SHOULD DO WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO! THEY BASED THEIR IDEAS OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS ON THE GREEK CITY STATES, PLUS, RELIGION, AND IN GREAT WESTERN THINKERS! WE ARE ALL WERE WE ARE, BASED ON WHAT WE CAME FROM AND WHERE WE WANT TO GO, GIVEN THE TIMES AND CONTEXT, OF OUR CHALLENGES AND LIVES, DEALING WITH CONTEMPORARY MINDSETS, SOCIAL PRESSURES, AND POLITICAL CHANGES, MOVING EVER CLOSER TO THE GOALS OF TOTAL EQUALITY, A COLOR BLIND JUSTICE SYSTEM, AND DUE PROCESS, EQAUL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW, NOT JUST FOR WHITE MEN, WHO USED TO CONTROL, EVERYTHING, BUT, WE ARE FAR FROM THAT NOW . . . BUT WE STILL HAVE ROOM TO EVOLVE, GROW, CHANGE. I HAD A GREAT MORNING OF INTER-RACIAL EXCHANGES AND EXPERIENCES, WORTH WRITING ABOUT AND NOTING. THE MOST PERSUASIVE ELEMENTS OF ARGUMENTATION ARE: (1) FACTS; (2) STATISTICS; AND (3) EXAMPLES. I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU SOME EXAMPLES OF RACE RELATIONS, GOOD, BAD AND UGLY! NO SERIOUSLY, THEY WERE ALL LEARNING EXPERIENCES. GOOD ONES! I AM GOING TO START WITH ME AND MS. LOVE. I AM WHITE, SHE IS BLACK . . . AND LIKE SHE SAID, WE BOTH HAVE "JUNK IN OUR TRUNK! LOL. SHE IS JUST STATING THE OBVIOUS! LOL. MS. LOVE IS A BLACK CHICK WITH ATTITUDE, BUT GIRL, YOU AIN'T MET ME YET, I HAVE ATTITUDE ON STERIODS . . . I DON'T DISCRIMNATE AND I AM JUST AS LIKELY TO TAKE OFF THE HEAD OF A WHITE CHICK AS I AM, A BLACK CHICK, GET IN MY FACE AND I AM IN OURS! LIKE KIM KARDASHIAN SAID, STARS CLAP BACK! NICE WAY TO SAY, I KICK BACK OR I SLAP BACK! HERE IS THE INTERACTIONS OVER THE WEEK . . .

ME AND MS. LOVE!

As is the case with all homeless shelters, people move in and they move out, and sometimes you get attached to this person or that, but, time moves on.  I like to stay, aloof, for the most part, don't like the drama, and refuse, generally to get dragged into shit.  Now, I have written about, Deana, very sweet, but a general pain in the ass to everyone, in her childlike ways, and manners, genuine, but annoying in her natural, affection, and probably the only one, who is childlike enough, to qualify to enter the kingdom of heaven, and Jesus, loved the little children, and said, that we had to become like them.  So far, I am just not there.  Deana, is not shy and like most children, you will know if she likes you or hates you, and many are not afraid to express their dislike or disproval of her.  The one thing I will say about the girl, so innocent and childlike, is she is a scrapper, and she defends herself.  One night, she wanted to watch HAPPY FEET, and all of us, adults in the room, are like, you've gotta be kidding, we want CSI or LAW and ORDER, true crime, POSION PASSION, etc.  So, Ms. Love, comes and immediately, gets into it with Deana, who runs to staff, to even the score and she is saying, a girl after my own heart that, she, has been denied her rights, to watch the TV show, she wants!  LOL.  I like this girl . . . smile.  Ms. Love, is being anything but, tolerant, and love is the furthest thing from her mind!  LOL.  So, that is the background . . . Tracy, also, has some run-ins with Ms. Love and said she just avoids her.  Obviously, Ms. Love doesn't discriminate either.

So, this week, I have a chore, which, I am glad to do, and know that, I am getting far more, by way of food and shelter, than, I am giving back, doing a chore once a month, but, I am also a creature of habit, and I am generally out the door, early, gone by about 6:00 AM, and often, at the doors of McD's, by the waking hours of 6:00 AM or I discovered, that they might even be open earlier, in the city, because, the big cities start early . . . early to bed, early to rise, makes a woman, healthy, wealthy and wise, but they never told me, making money was the easy part, getting it your own hands, and keeping it is the hard part!  I hate doing at 7:00 AM, what I normally do at 5:00 AM, hate upsetting my routine, my peace and joy time, and this chore has forced me to interact, more than, I like, which was the case, of a few days ago.  So, the chick that trained me, to mop the floors, for the first time or do a job at all around Hammond House, told me to just add some dish soap to the mop water, then dump the bucket out afterwards.  I am extremely task oriented, and, it is more like, get the fuck out of my way, and we will all be friends after I get my chore done!  My kids, know, that is how I was with them . . . I don't want to see your faces, until this house is clean!  LOL.  My kids were born in the military, MOM WAS DRILL SARGAENT!  So for two days, I am done with my chore by, 7:05 AM, to the shock of staff and residents alike . . . you did the floors already? did someone sweep?  YES! SEE YA!  LOL.

YOU HAVE TO PUT PINE SOL IN THE MOP WATER . . . IF DISH SOAP IS GOOD ENOUGH TO USE ON OUR DISHES THAT WE EAT ON, IT OUGHT TO BE, GOOD ENOUGH, FOR THE FLOORS WE ONLY WALK ON!  LOL.

Shortly after that brief exchange, Ms. Love, comes back, with attitude, says nothing, and puts Pine Sol, in MY mop water.  But, being the pacifist that I am, I just ignore her and thank her for getting it.  Now the mop water, was pretty damned clean, both previous mornings, which would indicate to me, that, the job I was doing was fine; however, the water was a bit dirtier, so, she was probably right, the floors, did get cleaner, or they were dirtier, that day, but, there was a bit more dark in the water.  So, the next day, I could not find where the Pine Sol, or industrial strength, cleanser was, so, I went back to my old ways, wanting nothing more than to get the fucking floors done!  LOL.  I am in such a hurry to get out the door and on the bus, to peace, serenity and music, that, I rush, the other people, Ms. Love who does the garbage, and Tracy, who does the dishes and counters, to the consternation of the staff, and to whatever her name is, who bugs the shit out of me, acting like she is waiting for me to get the kitchen mopped, so she can do the halls!  I am sandwiched, and don't like even doing the job, let alone being bugged, one way or the other!  Goal, the task at hand!  So, Ms. Love, was now moving onto her next victim, the hall chick who is doing double duty, and for some reason, waits for me, when, she hasn't even swept the floor, so jumping the gun, bugging the shit out of me, watching and waiting, baiting me to jump her ass, for getting in my way!  I have mopped right under, Ms. Love, trying to empty the garbage, and Tracy, telling staff that the floors look great when dry and they do!

Ms. Love, tells hall chick, that she has to sweep the floors, first and she makes, some reference to the floors, and I think she is talking to me . . . I jump her ass, and, say something like, if you want to micromanage my job, why don't you just do it!  LOL.  She said, I am not talking to you, and I retorted back, look we are all grown women, and we don't need you to tell us how to do them!  She said, I am not talking to you . . . you better not be, is what I was thinking!  Staff has the right, but, fellow, chicks, who don't run the place, fuck NO!  That was the end of the discussion.  I am no pussy cat, no wilting flower! to say the least.  Raised in a family of 10, 8 kids, taking no back seat to anybody.  So, this morning, Tracy, Kim, and a few others, were going to join, Mary's Church Choir, take a ferry ride to Bainbridge or somewhere, sing, have lunch, and come back.  Fun and food, is my combo, for a great time!  I warned all the Hammond Hot Tramps, that, we had to leave early, so, 7:00 AM sharp, having been up, showered and ready by 5:00 AM, was the killing hour and they had to be out of the kitchen so we could get the place cleaned and off to the bus, to meet our choir leaders at Pike and Walgreens, to catch the ferry. 

MS. LOVE, SAID, WE DON'T WANT TO BE RUSHED, SO I WILL DO YOUR CHORES FOR YOU. Great!  Thank you!  Tracy, who wasn't even dress yet, went over and hugged a woman, that two days earlier, she was bitching and moaning to me about!  I didn't know, that, this chick's name was LOVE, when, I got into it with her, or when she volunteered to do our jobs for us . . . she probably, really wants the floors done better with PINE SOL!  LOL.  But, as I washed my dishes, Ms. Love, put her dirty cereal dish near mine, waiting for me to wash mine . . . I though, one very nice, turn, deserves another, so I did her dish for her!  NO DREAM IS TOO BIG . . . LOVE TRUMPS HATE, LOVE OVER WAR!  When, I was leaving and learned, what this chick's name was, I thanked her again, and said, your actions, fit your last name . . . MS. LOVE.  She just kind of gave me a look, like don't rub it in, and I just didn't want you in MY KITCHEN LOOK!  LOL.  I was happy, she was happy and the floors, I am sure, got cleaned with PINE SOL!  LOL.

TOO MUCH DRAMA FROM THE CHURCH GOSPEL CHOIR SINGERS!  I HIT MCD'S AND THE BUS TO KIRLAND AND BELLEVUE, FOR SUSAN'S AMAZING SUNDAY DINNERS!

JESUS WANTS ME TO TELL YOU, THAT HE LOVES YOU . . . I KNOW, I LOVE HIM TOO!  ME AND TONY, A BIG ASS, BLACK SECURITY GUARD, PROBABLY WORKS FOR THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, UNDERCOVER, LOL, HAD A NICE CONVERSATION, ABOUT, MY NEW, BLACK HAT WITH THE U.S.A., AN AMERIACAN FLAG, AND AMERICAN EAGLE ON IT . . . HE WANTS ONE, AND I SAID, I WOULD GIVE IT TO HIM!  HE WOULDN'T LET ME, BUT HE GOT THE BRAND AND WHERE I GOT IT AT.  WE STRUCK UP A FRIENDSHIP, WE SHARED OUR FAVORITE SCRIPTURES, AND EXPRESSED OUR APPRECIATION FOR OUR BUDDY JESUS AND WHAT HE DID FOR US ON THE CROSS!  I LOVE BLACKS, LIKE 80% OF THEM, MEN TOO, ARE RELIGIOUS, GO TO CHURCH, READ THE SCRIPTURES . . . THE AVERAGE AMERICAN, ONLY ABOUT 40%!

COMING FROM LILY WHITE, VANILLA, MORMON, REPUBLICAN, UTAH . . . WITH A FASCIST FATHER, A NATIONALIST, OF THE TRUMP AND BANNON BENT, IT IS POSSIBLE TO BECOME, TRULY, COLOR BLIND!  REALLY!

WE CAN DO THIS AMERICA.  WE CAN DO THIS WORLD!

LOVE IS THE ANSWER.  GOD IS LOVE!

KISSES, HUGS, LOVES!
