President Agent Orange Julius Caesar Lord Dampnut Dumpster Fire and Furher Von Trumplestillskin Von Trumpenstein has been hiding his golfing from the American public because he said he wasn’t going to have time to golf when he was president. This week there is a big white truck blocking camera from seeing El Loco golfing. (He is golfing more than any other president in history. Right now, he is golfing more than Tiger Woods.)
Do I care if Trumplestillskin golfs? Not really, if he needs a break from his difficult job of covering up his Russian collusion and lying to the American public, he might need to get out on the links and hit a few balls into the woods. There’s nothing more stressful than having to keep secrets, especially when those secrets are Russian secrets.
Roy “The Montgomery Mall Mauler” Moore isn’t riding his horse off into the sunset like a spastic just yet. He has filed a lawsuit claiming that too many people voted against him. There is nothing worse than a racist snowflake who can’t accept the vote total. Maybe write a book and go on tour. You can call the book “My Name’s Roy. Do You Like Candy?”
Florida Rep Looney Rooney is walking back his call for purging of the FBI. Now he just wants partisan members of the FBI to be removed. What a great plan. I think there are lots more right leaning FBI agents than left leaning, but here’s the thing, I’ll bet they can still do their job without being a partisan hack like you Mr. Rooney.
The end of the year is closing in and I hope Mueller is filling his dance card with lots of names.
Until then I’m going to fill my dance card with 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.
