The Jazz Age Redux

 "And as I sat there, brooding on the old unknown world, I thought of Gatsby’s wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night.

 Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning—— So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

Thus ends a superb novel by F Scott Fitzgerald an early 20th century author who was both a literary genius and a totally self destructive insane train wreck of a man. His book The Great Gatsby while written in 20's America, still rings true about people today. If you get a chance at least watch the movie (several versions, my favorite is the Baz Luhrman one) and then read the book. It is powerful and it really gets to the core of who we are are as people, how we live, love and survive (or not). Check it out.

Be good to each other,

Peace out.

Dear Diary

Government Shutdown on the horizon. Many speeches. Many pressers as they call it. I've been watching this all my long years. They're going to shut it down. Too much TV time to be had. Too many pictures in the news. Politicians are all the same. Self centered morons. They do NOTHING for their constituents, They don't care. They enrich themselves to the detriment of the nation. 

It's coming. Bet the ranch on it. 

Dat's all

Sunday

This says it all!!! Bye storm!!

 Saturday September  27, 2025,

5 years living in Georgia. every year, a hurricane comes and threatens us. Not Florida, not Texas, not Louisiana, not Mexico, not the Outer banks. Here. I hate this state. Truly. I've tried. 5 years. Hate it. I don't care what anyone thinks.
I've had it. 

Life in Georgia.
