As we all prepare of the solar eclipse, President Agent Orange Julius Caesar Tossed Salad Dumpster-Fire and Fury Von Trumplestillskin….
WHERE DID THE REST OF MY POST GO? THE ECLIPSE MUST HAVE STOLEN IT! (I really didn’t realize that 80% of my post disappeared. I had a power outage at home.)
Here’s what it said:
Trumplestillskin’s secret service is out of money because they have to guard all 5,000 Trump family members as they traipse around the world.
No one from the White House would go on Sunday talk shows to defend what Trump said because they aren’t members of the aryan nation…well, Gorka and Miller might be.
Trump-roast is in Arizona to give a speech on Afghanistan (someone showed it to him on a map.) “Is it this one?”
“No, that’s the continent of Africa.”
“Is it this one?”
“Getting warmer, that’s India. It’s this one here.”
“Oh, I thought that was Arkansas.”
The Orangutan in Chief will probably also give ex-sheriff Joe “Racism 101” Arpaio a pardon for targeting people of color.
Then I ended the post by saying that Trumpster-fire was planning a golden statue of himself. I said it should be no larger than a small souvlaki.
Why is my page titled South of the Strait? Well I live in a far corner of the United States. I live in a small town south of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. If I was going to throw a rock across the strait it would land in Canada. I used to be an English teacher. I have worked in Westport, Port Angeles, and Sequim, Washington... and I did two years of substitute teaching in Coalinga, California.
I've moved around a lot, living in: Sterling,Kansas; Chicago; Jordan, Montana; Lemoore, California; Auckland, New Zealand; Spokane, Washington; Gambier, Ohio.
What do I write? For WordPress I used to print once a week for general comments. I wrote reviews of music concerts my daughter made me attend. (Each month she would want us to drive to Seattle to see a music group. I usually stood in the back watching weird stuff.) I also wrote about trips I have taken in Europe where I liked getting lost. I also wrote during the few months when my son was treated for cancer. (He is officially free of cancer of five years.) About three years ago I decided to stop writing blogs so I could concentrate on writing a few books. I have completed three books...or maybe four. I have now compiled my short stories poems and memoirs on Amazon. You can get it at Amazon now..."A Work In Progress"--Jon Eekhoff. I have been very close to getting a printed book called "Lost Summer" but I was never offered $1,000,000.00. (It's set in Paris, 1920's, with baseball, writers, artist, and actually true stuff.) I wrote a book about college basketball called "Laidlaw." It's kind of a mix of "Moby Dick" and a coach who is about to get fired so he takes his team out for a free drive around the West. My most recent book is "California Tales." These are connected stories about the missionary churches in California. They are sad, funny, inspiring, and odd. I had the entire book done in my head and had just one section to finish the next day...and that is when I fell 20 feet from my roof and landed on the cement. (Like a lot of men, I thought I could maintain my own roof instead of leaving it to the professionals.) I don't remember anything about my accident but I am told I was flown to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle. Though conscious and responsive after surgery to remove part of my skull, I don't remember anything from my first month there. I spent another month of Harborview working on walking, speaking, and writing. That was two years ago. As a TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury) survivor, I could have quit writing, but I am not going to quit. I work with the University of Washington Speech and Hearing Clinic.
So, here I am. I am married and live here in Sequim with my wife Cheryl. Our kids live in nearby cities. Writing is now an exhausting exercise, but something I plan to keep working on.
