President Agent Orange Julius Caesar Dumpster- Fire and Fury Von Trumplestillskin signed an executive order to end subsidies for Obamacare. So this is the repeal and replace? This is the better, cheaper plan? This is going to help out those coal miners in West Virginia? What this is, for those of you not paying attention, is Trumpenstein doing the only thing he knows how to do. Sign executive orders to kill programs that help people or have Obama’s name on them. The only group he is interested in helping is his buddies at Mar-a-Lago. Too bad there weren’t paper towels at his signing ceremony, he could have tossed them out to people losing their healthcare.
If you want to see something entertaining, watch Rand Paul at the ceremony. He looks like a hostage in an ISIS video.
If you want to be even more entertained go back and look at old tweets Trumpenstein made about Rand “This IS My Real Hair” Paul during the election. Our president is all class.
Speaking of class, Trumplestillskin was being interviewed by Sean “GI Joe Hair” Hannity at a military base. The lowering of the flag ceremony began, along with the playing of Retreat Bugle call, and Trumpenstein didn’t stand and put his hand over his heart as required by the rules of the super patriot game. In fact, he sat through the ceremony and talked to the empty-headed animal posing as a newsman.
Well, there you go. Welcome to Trump’s America. A nation where white rich guys get to break all the rules and everyone else is an enemy of the state.
I’m going to drown my sorrows in a gallon of tzatziki sauce.
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.
