The “who is the bigger moron contest” controversy continues in the White House. It is being reported that after T-Rex Tillerson called The Mini Peach Putin a moron, Trumplestillskin challenged Tillerson to an IQ test challenge. Okay, I’m not sure where Agent Orange is getting his IQ confidence…maybe he took one of those Facebook quizzes that steals all your information and tells you you are a genius, or maybe he took his test while enrolling at Pency Prep. #PhonyAdults#MoldingFineYoungMen Either way, Trumpopo believes he has a high IQ. Tillerson…I’m not sure, but he has got to be smarter than Trump. I say let’s have a Jeopardy game with Tillerson, Trumplestillskin, and Hillary. Make it a weeklong extravaganza. Who wouldn’t watch that? I’d even let Trump see the questions beforehand.
Steve “My Liver Is As Gray As The Moon” Bannon is getting his minions ready to attack every republican congressman and senator…except Ted Cruz. Are you kidding me? Ted Cruz…the guy who looks like a poorly done wax figure of Eddie Munster? This is the guy you want back in the Senate? Well, good luck Mr. Bannon.
Jimmy Kimmel has somehow become the most relevant political critic in the US. He took on Trumpcare and helped to kill it. This weekend he took on Trumplestillskin and Don-Fredo in a twitter battle over the Harvey “Creepy Guy With Money” Weinstein’s sexual predatory behavior. DJTJR wanted a Weinstein joke…and he got one…after Kimmel reminded DJTJR that Don-Fredo’s daddy has a history too. Don’t bring a knife to a p—- grabbing fight is my advice.
The other piece of advice I have for all of you is to eat 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.
