Politico has an interesting article about Santa Mueller’s investigation. Seventeen prosecutors have each been selected because of their special skills (like Liam Neeson). My favorite line from the report was that information was withheld when the Papadopolous charges were filed because it was a small part of a much larger investigation.
President Agent Orange Julius Caesar Salad Dumpster Fire and Fuhrer Von Trumplestillskin Von Trumpenstien III is in the Philippians meeting with fellow Presidential lunatic Duterte. Trumplestillskin mentioned human rights violations but did it like this, “How did you get away with violating the human rights of your enemies? Asking for a friend.”
Faux Newz is reporting that Roy “Ain’t No Commandment Against That” Moore is suing the Washington Post. The rest of the news agencies are reporting that the cowboy hat wearing, tiny gun carrying, tightey-whitey wearing Moore said in a speech that he was thinking about suing the Post. Moore is a public figure and would lose the case, he knows this. Faux know this too, but Faux is reporting it this way for the purpose of making people who watch their channel feel like he is getting railroaded. Then they can vote for pretend Roy Rogers without feeling guilty.
60,000 white supremacists gathered in Poland to light flares and look scary. They want an all-white, Christian nation. I vote for North Korea. You guys can have that whole area, you just have to get the Koreans to leave. Good luck. Why we can’t get these morons and the ISIS morons together for a fight to the death is beyond me. If Bill Gates wants to do something good with his money maybe he can buy everyone on both sides airline tickets to the same place and have them fight until everyone is dead. Let’s fly everyone off Puerto Rico for a month, fly these guys on, and let them go at it. Problem solved.
The winners get souvlaki for life and a championship belt that says, “Superior Race.”
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.
