President Agent Orange Julius Caesar Salad Dumpster Fire and Fuhrer Von Trumplestillskin Von Trumpenstein did what he does yesterday. He tweeted something stupid. This time it was videos that he claimed were evidence of how Europe was a mess of Islamic terrorism run wild. Unfortunately, for El Loco none of the videos attached to the tweet were accurate. He got the videos from the British equivalent to the KKK. Nice work Mr. Fake news. Then, Sarah “Wednesday Addams” Huckabee Sanders went on to say it didn’t matter because it was true that Muslims want to hurt people. This is the type of argument we are getting from the White House podium these days? Talk about fake news.
Speaking of fake. Apparently half of the comments supporting getting rid of net neutrality are from bots. Let’s just get this over and just plug in to the Matrix.
THE KUSH is meeting with Mueller. Does this mean that Santa Mueller is putting forth the Flynn evidence and saying to THE KUSH, “You have a choice. Go to jail forever, or roll over on the fat orange guy with the long ties”? Oh, Santa Mueller stop teasing me.
I hope THE KUSH was watching the Bosnian Croat General at his trial. Yikes! If you missed it. The general busted out a vial of poison and downed it like he was Vlad Putin knocking back vodka on election night. The general died at the hospital later. I’m not suggesting that THE KUSH take a similar route, but he might consider how he could get one of those vials in the tiny hands of you know who.
The only thing I’m going to sneak into my hands is a 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.
