(Just one week left…) President Agent Orange Julius Caesar Salad Hair Lord Dampnut Dumpster Fire and Furher Von Trumplestillskin Von Trumpenstein Von Jenius’s WA DC hotel had a bad word projected on it yesterday. A word that El Presidente Loco used to describe people from nations without a majority of white people. I agree with him on one thing, we should loosen up the libel laws… to allow sh**hole countries to sue presidents who support foreign policies that make those nations unstable.
Speaking of unstable, for about 30 minutes yesterday, the people of Hawaii thought there was a missile heading their way. Yeah, some guy hit the wrong warning button and sent out a warning that said it wasn’t a warning. I feel bad for the guy who did that by accident and bad for the people of Hawaii. But, in reality it is Trumpenstein’s fault. He’s the one who has ratcheted up the rhetoric and inflamed the situation in North Korea. For a stable jenius he sure has a lot to learn.
Retiring Representative Jeff “Not a Snow” Flake said today that Trumplestillskin is using Stalin’s playbook to erode confidence in the news media. It would be nice if someone from the republican party who was still running for office stood up and said, “You know, I don’t think we should be lining up with this racist.” I’m still waiting for someone to grow a pair of souvlakis and stand up to this racist moron.
Bannon and Lewandowski will be testifying before Mueller soon. I hope this is the final lap of the investigation. Mueller must be waiting for his order of handcuffs from Amazon to show up. I’m betting there aren’t enough handcuffs in WA DC to lock all the idiots up who colluded with the Russians.
I’m going to collude with a souvlaki with Russian dressing today.
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.
