Snow Fell, Phones Confused, Nothing Compared to Re-Election

 

Now is the winter of our discontent. Or, as campers say at Glacier National Park, "Now is the winter of our discount tent."

The rain projected for yesterday fell as snow, then rained and froze. We canceled the appointment for this morning, not from fear of driving, but from fear of Southerners driving on ice.

Our new geezer phone was supposed to have the old number on it, after a 30 day wait. Instead, the new phone rebooted and would not work, because the old phone still had the old number on it. Groundhog Day is February 2nd, not December 14th. After a long talk with Not-So-GreatCall, I was promised the old number (ending in 0066) on the new geezer phone. The bonus is - we got one month of no bill and a monthly bill 1/3 lower with unlimited phone and texting.

Tension is palpable as the minutes tick by. Will children ask how minutes can tick? That will be a great loss, like not being able to slam down the AT&T phone. That is how many phone calls from irate WELS clergy ended, years back. "How did you get all this information?" after denying any of it was true. I would say, "From WELS pastors." Incoherent rage would follow, ending with a glorious slamming of the phone onto its cradle. So funny. Nobody is going to ruin a smartphone that way.

I am still 100% sure of the re-election. To repeat - no one has been elected, so there is no President Elect and no Office of the President Elect. A couple of people and their cohorts will feel like the beauty queen who finds out that winning was a mistake, that she must slink back to the line-up and watch another take her place. I point that out with glee to Mrs. Ichabod.

How can I be 100% sure? 

1. God watches over fools, drunks, and the US of A. Reagan rescued us from Carter.
2. I watch how the contestants behave. One is issuing Executive Orders, changing, the Department of Defense, and facing roaring, positive crowds. The other is performing Kabuki Theater for complicit media.
3. We have an unredacted list of 2 million Chinese spies, many of them in the US. "Not classy to reveal that," Prissy Wallace would say.
4. Foreign interference in our elections is a crime, and working with another government or governments to change our elections is treason.

I am adding to my list those friends who will soon say (as I graciously agree) - "You were right all along."

Nothing runs like a Deere.
