POSH TRAVELING

If you were rich enough, there were a few special things you could get, including the option of "traveling POSH." What, you ask, is "posh" and why would I want to travel that way? That was the way to go. Port outward, starboard home. POSH - the comfortable and best way to travel on a … Continue reading POSH TRAVELING

PORT OUT STARBOARD HOME

Steamship was the way to travel. The best was was to be on the port side going out to sea and on the starboard side on the way home. That is what POSH means. Port outbound, starboard home. POSH was the best way to travel aboard a steamship. Now, it means something else. Elegant or … Continue reading PORT OUT STARBOARD HOME

NARY A RIPPLE

RDP Sunday–RIPPLES "With nary a ripple" signals ultimate peace. No waves, no white water. Just the smooth glassiness of water and it's reflection of sky, clouds, and the trees along the bank. And maybe the reflection of the geese or swan that float silently along the water.

RESCUE ALL OF US AND SAVE THE WORLD – Marilyn Armstrong

RESCUE THE WORLD AND ME, TOO Rescue us from aging, mental exhaustion, and this dreadful government. If you didn't vote last time, remember how it worked out.

And you can talk … Continue reading RESCUE ALL OF US AND SAVE THE WORLD – Marilyn Armstrong

LIVING IN THE WILDERNESS? – Marilyn Armstrong

RDP SATURDAY: WILDERNESS The area in which we live is definitely rural, but I never considered it wilderness until suddenly, after 20 years of receiving packages from every known delivery service, we can't be found. We have disappeared. We get notes saying a post office package was "undeliverable." Undeliverable? It's not raining or snowing. There … Continue reading LIVING IN THE WILDERNESS? – Marilyn Armstrong

STATE OF MY NATION – Marilyn Armstrong

STATE OF MY NATION - RDP SATURDAY I have forbidden television viewing today. It's the Republican opportunity to deny everything and I don't think I can handle it. Worse, this might be the broadcast that finally makes Garry kick the TV until it shatters. Since we need to fix a broken toilet and the floor … Continue reading STATE OF MY NATION – Marilyn Armstrong

OUT MY BACK DOOR – Marilyn Armstrong

Ragtag Daily Prompt: Out My Backdoor I look out my backdoor a lot. It's a small deck leading to a rather small lawned area that when we were younger and more socially active, was the scene of many summertime barbecues, the building of a tepee, and just handing out. The tepee is gone. The idea … Continue reading OUT MY BACK DOOR – Marilyn Armstrong

HOW MANY MAGNANIMOUSES MAKE UP A CONFUSION? – Marilyn Armstrong

Magnanimous but Confused It is a beautiful day. Cool, comfortable, with a shining sun and no rain predicted. It doesn't mean it won't rain. It just means it's less likely to rain than if they had predicted rain and anyway, it's less like to rain as hard as it might if they had assured us … Continue reading HOW MANY MAGNANIMOUSES MAKE UP A CONFUSION? – Marilyn Armstrong

TO IMPEACH OR NOT? IS THAT EVEN A QUESTION? NOT ANYMORE – By TOM CURLEY

IMPEACHMENT (FINALLY) NOW! As I write this, I'm watching the Speaker of the House of Representatives formally open an impeachment inquiry into the Twitler-in-Chief. What did it take? Well, a whistle-blower went through legal channels and brought a complaint about the President that was so bad is caused the Trump-appointed Inspector General to totally freak … Continue reading TO IMPEACH OR NOT?
