Today's observations

 

So I'm doing my walking on the treadmill this morning and finish.  Taking a break, I go to one of the comfortable chairs in the lobby and set for a minute.  Wasting time and scrolling thru the Reels on Facebook,  I encountered a short piece from Bernie Mac.  He has always cracked me up with his lack of sensitivity and very pointed humor.  He would often mark the differences between black and white people in social situations.  He was a great observer and commentator about our interactions.  Sadly, we lost him to a lung disease in 2008.  Along with Steve Harvey (with hair), Cedric the Entertainer and D.L, Hughly was part of the Kings of Comedy series of shows that are well worth looking up and viewing.  Bernie had a television show showing the foibles of family life as well that ran for 5 years in the 2000's.  I like to believe that I found him so funny because of our commonality,  We all could laugh with the audience at this humor, black folks and white folks laughing together, being touched together and finding solace together. 

Biden did badly on his first debate.  Even watching only the low lights, there is no denying this observation. The question has to be raised, What are we left with?  All the calls for him to be replaced will fall to the wayside.  He will still be the Democratic standard bearer.  The alternative to him is out of the question for me.  We cannot vote a convicted felon into the White House.  Barack said he had a bad day, we all have them.  I believe he speaks the truth and the other guy does not.  

thats it

all for now
