President Agent Orange Julius Caesar Salad Hair Lord Dampnut Dumpster Fire and Furher Von Trumplestillskin Von Trumpenstein Von Jenius is in a tight spot. In the past, he has said he will 100% testify under oath for the Mueller investigation. Yesterday, he started hedging his bets. (I’m pretty sure his lawyers spend all their time around him yelling in his ears, “Do not say you will testify!”) Now he is saying, “I don’t think I will testify.” Good luck with that, Trumplestillskin. If Mueller wants you to testify, he can call you before the Grand Jury and have you testified under oath. Who wants to see that? ME! (Reagan got a take home test for the Iran Contra affair, but the Supreme Court has ruled that special investigators can impel presidents to testify in real time under oath.)
Think of the ratings Donnie! It will be the highest rated criminal investigation ever! Your trial and sentencing hearing will be bigly, bigly tremendous! You’ll go down in history as the most important traitor ever! They’ll probably even build a wing of a federal prison for your family. “Here’s the Trump wing, where we keep all the traitors from the 2016 election. Yes, we used money from Trump’s own bank account to pay for it, because as you know, it was all Russian money. Oh, those walls. Yes, those walls are ten feet higher than most prisons. Mexico donated the money for them.”
People are questioning why Florida was left off the list of places to drill for oil. I forgot who spends all their time in Florida. How could Trumpenstein enjoy his resort if he had to look out at the horizon and see oil derricks? No drilling for you Florida. Everywhere else–drill away.
All this banana republic action is making me hungry. Load up 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.
