What has George “Will Wear A Wire For Food” Papadoupoulos been up to since he was arrested in April…the day after the FBI raided Manafort’s house? Well, this guy who Trumplestillskin once named as one of his important international aides is now persona non grata on Team Trumplestein. Did he wear a wire to meet with key White House staff? Oh, I’m betting that happened. Are there a bunch of people in the White House checking to see if they had a meeting with Papadouploulos? I’m betting so. Oh, Santa Mueller, please arrest THE KUSH next. I’ll take Don Fredo, but THE KUSH would be the best New Jersey Tragedy since Chris “Beached Whale” Christie’s Bridge Gate.
The distraction machine over at Faux Newz is acting like President Hillary Clinton has been out murdering babies in her free time. 1. Hillary isn’t president. She probably should be, but that didn’t happen. #Russia 2. Her emails aren’t going to be as interesting as all the Trump emails that will soon be hitting the airwaves. 3. Maybe it is time to have Sean “Graying Devo Hair” Hannity arrested for being a bloated bag of lying pus.
“Machine Gun” John “The Only Adult” Kelly said yesterday that the Civil War happened because people wouldn’t compromise. Okay…I guess you could say that about every war. Hitler wouldn’t compromise. If only those Spartans would have compromised. Vietnam…Iraq…Afghanistan, all could have been avoided if we just learned to compromise. That makes sense…kinda…but the Civil War was about one side thinking you can own people and the other side thinking you couldn’t. How would a compromise have worked out there? You can own 3/5ths of a person?
Well, North Korea had its nuclear test mountain collapse. 200 people probably were killed. Will this slow thing down? Who knows, Agent Orange is going to need a war to get himself out of this investigation, so don’t hold your breath.
The only war we should be starting is a war on souvlaki. Everyone get out there and kill one today.
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.
