General Disregard-for-the-Law Flynn’s lawyers have been meeting with Mueller’s team. I hope they are finalizing a deal that will send team Trumplestillskin from the White House to the jail house. Lock them up! Lock them up! Lock them up! (At least THE KUSH and Don-Fredo.) Santa Mueller, please bring me the end of the Trumpenstein administration.
I am a little concerned that the Trumpie Zombies won’t accept what Mueller finds. The amount of time that EL Loco Presidente has spent sowing the seeds of distrust about the justice department, the FBI, the media, and everyone who isn’t Russian is a sign that he knows it is only a matter of time before he is called to testify. Will completely irrational people be able to see the facts? I guess we’ll see.
In an attempt to top all other idiotic public statements, President Agent Orange Julius Caesar Salad Dumpster Fire and Fuhrer Von Trumplestillskin Von Trumpenstein was honoring the Navaho Wind Talkers at the White House and decided it was the perfect time to call Senator Warren Pocahontas. What is wrong with this guy? Really? While meeting with a group of men who helped the US win WWII, you take the opportunity to take a swing at a political opponent? And you’re too dumb to understand that the name you’re calling Warren is racist? There is no way to explain this one away. I looked at the twitter reactions and all of the Trump Bots thought it was hilarious. This goes back to the idea that Trump isn’t his supporters’ president, he is their head troll. They don’t care if the US burns, they just want revenge. The power they want is the power to outrage the world. Who cares about anything else?
The only power I want is the power to make a souvlaki magically appear during lunch.
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.
