I can measure and evaluate people I meet very rapidly and so when I met a new Boss I would know within a short time what they were really like and if they were bad I saw it. They smile at your face, but I can see and feel their true feelings. I watch body language and facial expressions when they speak and watch their reactions when I say different things to them.

When I was a Store Manager I had a District Manager that very nice and supportive, but I knew right away he was a bad person. At…

Whenever I am in public I watch people around me and sometimes listen to their conversations that are near me. I have had six or eight strangers thank me and say “I will never forget you.” in different situations over many years.I was in a restaurant with my wife and as I always do, watch the workers and the other patrons. At the end of our meal I ask the African American college aged man if I could speak to him. …

How much of our life is wasted in saying such meaningless things like “How are you?” and the same meaningless answer is always given. My answer is always “Still crazy after all these years!” to see what kind of reaction I get because everyone is not listening anyway. If I get a smile I continue by saying to friends you promised me you would help me and you never did and to strangers I say the Doctors can’t seem to help me. Other answers I get include there is a song that had those words and if they are old…

Everyone is saying 2021 is going to be a better year, but what if it isn’t? What that means is that the number of people being infected continues to go higher exponentially followed by the mortality going up at higher and higher numbers to make the suffering unbearable. More people in the world losing their jobs as one country after another shuts down to try to stop the unbelievable numbers that keep getting worse everyday. Commerce in the world starts to slow and shortages in everything we consume and use are everywhere. …

What a silly person you are to help me win the Pulitzer Prize by reading the headline and deciding to read my worms. Please don’t stop reading as there is an important message coming up that you should remember for the rest of your life that will be passed to future generations.

I have spent a lifetime researching the difference between words and worms and it is much more than changing one letter. My work has included telling my parents I am too sick to go to school and calling in sick to work to keep my studies from going…

I lead a very simple life so it is 2 am and I am thinking about going to bed and I said Alexa, what is the date and she said it is October 8 and I said shit. No wonder she was making a cake today because it is her birthday and look at my watch in panic. The local supermarket is open 24/7 so I drive over and walk to the door and the big sign states this door is closed so I walk over to the other door and a guard says may I help you? I said…

I was sitting there and thinking about nothing and thought to myself what an interesting subject nothing is. The more I thought about it, it seemed to take on the possibility of so many meanings when you talk about nothing. Nothing can be very important in giving other words meaning and can be used in so many infinite ways to bring meaning to conversations and even life itself. For example, if you say nothing there is no meaning or realistic understanding that an audience would understand what you are trying to communicate. What if I got up in front of…

My parents bought a home in 1958 on the West Coast and I have rented the house since my father died and didn’t have to hardly advertise as one renter moved out a friend or family member would exchange damage deposits for ten of those years and since then, the house only needs two to three weeks to rent so I have collected rent every month for 12 years.

I was sitting down tonight watching the news on the fires on the West Coast and thinking that the my community was going to meet tomorrow at 10 AM so I…
