President Agent Orange Julius Caesar Lord Dampnut Dumpster Fire and Furher Von Trumplestillskin Von Trumpenstein greeted his guests at Mar-a-Lago with a “you all just got a lot richer” greeting. How nice, because if anyone needed more money it is the wealthy morons at Mar-a-Lago. When the homeless and poor crash the castle, I hope all the rich folks remember their history. After Trumplestillskin’s pronouncement, the guests all poured out bottles of $1000 wine, burned all the books in their libraries, and crashed their million-dollar yachts into each other. They were heard saying, “We’ll get new ones…and the insurance money will pay for it.”
Steve “Grandma Glasses” Mnuchin got a box of horse shit delivered to his home yesterday. He didn’t order it, someone sent it to him. The DNA testing shows that the horse was not acting alone.
Steve “My Face Fought the Road and The Road Won” Bannon has tossed THE KUSH under the bus. He did a speech where he blamed THE KUSH for all the Russian stuff and said that Jared was really immature. Hmm… name calling, bullying, doing what The Moooch said Bannon does… who’s the immature one?
The FBI foiled a terrorist attack in SF. Since that time, Trumpenstein has been attacking the FBI leadership. I’d like to think that his words are falling on deaf ears, but the MAGA crowd eats this stuff up. After Trump makes America great again, and then dies, who gets to be the next king? Don-Fredo? Ivanka? By that time, I’ll be locked up in a re-education camp anyway. Good luck everyone. I don’t think Santa Mueller is bringing me my gift this year. I’m used to it. I’ll just keep myself happy with another 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.
