Dang!!! \u00a0New? \u00a0Maybe I need a new ride. \u00a0But I don&#8217;t want a new ride. \u00a0Problems. \u00a0Real world problems.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of positive stuff. \u00a0I&#8217;m always in a good mood when there is some Fleetwood Mac playing. \u00a0And, it is hard to move when &#8220;Sweet Child o&#8217; Mine&#8221; by Guns N Roses starts. \u00a0Of course, there are two artists that are timeless. \u00a0Everybody, regardless of age or demographics, \u00a0knows them and neither are the best singer\/artist but dang\u2026\u2026.Willie Nelson and AC\/DC. \u00a0What they do, they do really well. \u00a0And have done it really well for decades.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I should probably walk away from the keyboard. \u00a0I realize, that the last few weeks, I have been as prolific as a feral sow that has delivered back-to-back-to-back litters of 18 piglets. \u00a0Do the math. \u00a0It will be good for your brain.<\/p>\n<p>And on a positive note\u2026.I&#8217;ve spilled a lot of different stuff on this keyboard. \u00a0Until now, I have never before dropped pizza sauce from a Little Sleazer&#8217;s pizza. \u00a0I bet it isn&#8217;t as sticky as the honey from years ago.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because I used the word Positivity in the title is proof that I am NOT watching the debate. \u00a0And if you watched it, you would have been better off flushing a toilet and watching the circling, quasi-submerged items.
