Donnie I’m Gonna Build a Wall Trumpenstien has added a few more details to his bigly beautiful wall. Remember, it is going to be made of solar panels, thirty feet high…higher if Mexico still refuses to pay for it (so higher), and now it needs to be see through. Why see-through? Because Americans strolling next to the wall might get hit by Mexican drug lords launching drugs over the wall. So… just so I understand, let me write this out. The wall will be clear so Americans walking next to the wall won’t be hit by flying drugs. Are there people walking next to the wall right now? Why will there be more people? I’m pretty confused by this whole wall thing. Wasn’t the wall supposed to be done by now? Or was that ISIS would be defeated by now with Trump’s secret plan he wasn’t telling anyone? Is he holding on to that plan for his run in 2020?
THE KUSH has to hire a new lawyer. Why? Because his old one saw the writing on the wall (different wall, this one isn’t clear, and is only 10 feet tall). THE KUSH seems to be in some legal jeopardy. He has revised his security clearance paperwork so many times he has White-out on top of White-out on top of White-out…there’s so much White-out that he could build a wall out of it. The first time he revised his form he added 100 people he had forgotten to list as contacts. Yep, nothing fishy about that.
Shepherd Smith has had it. He went off the rails yesterday saying that there were too many lies to believe anything the Trumpeteers say. Of course, this is not what Fox News wants going on. All of the Faux Newz watchers were shocked to see something resembling the truth said on their channel and are now stocking up gold and water for the end times.
The voter fraud committee dumped a whole bunch of private information on the internet of people who had complained about the voter fraud investigation. They left people’s email addresses, phone numbers, addresses, and redacted nothing before posting the complaints. This might be why people don’t want to give more information to these clowns.
Healthcare is making its way to a vote. There are lots of side deals taking place to get to the number of needed votes. The problem is that the insurance companies have said the bill is “unworkable.” I’m sure the Donald will fix it. He is the deal maker.
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.
