CONTINUED FROM YESTERDAY....
" He drove up another incline again and just as he started driving down
the other side, my Father turned the ignition key off...."
My Father often did this I remember to save on gas. I do not know to this day
if it did and I ain't going to ask because I don't want to remember him being
wrong about doing it.
Father, without engine running, glided to the bottom of the downward sloped
US Route 11 north while Mother, with baby Jerry in her arms, looked for road
signs to read. And up again and around a slight hill to right and down again to
small river valley of sorts.
You may remember the name of the river, but I have something else to tell you
about and that must wait until tomorrow....

HEALTH
When I drive to Walmart I drive fast because I learned to drive fast when I was
in the desert (Las Vegas), It was mandatory because everyone drove fast.
Mother's 1986 Honda Accord responds obediently to my foot on the gas pedal
and the car and I quickly attain speeds of 65 - 70 miles per hour on most roads
that have a speed limit of 55 miles per hour and I ain't got caught yet.
I placed my trip to Walmart yesterday under this HEALTH section because
everyone, except for the ones in those electrified scooters, walk and walking
is good for your health.
I always, like I told you before, have a plan of action when I leave the house for
any destination. Not knowing that I had three strikes against me before I entered
the store, I walked up to left pharmacy entrance and saw some young boys
collecting for what they said was their traveling baseball team. I put a dollar in
one of the boy's offered helmets and maybe, if I would have been thinking, there
might be some kinship from the three strikes above and their term "three
strikes your out."
I had stepped on my new two-week old glasses that I purchased from Walmart
and bent the frame in several places. The Vision Center is right around the
corner to the right and I walked on in. One employee (maybe they where all at
home watching the local Cleveland Browns football team play on TV. I don't
know why. They lost and are now 0-7) and one customer that being me. I
requested the employee to fix my glasses and the employee said that she/he
did not have the licence to do it and said she was sorry (strike 1).
I needed a small medal part that glues on the inside of the windshield to hold
up the rear view mirror. I went back to automotive and the Walmart employee
and I searched high and low, but could not find the part. He/she said sorry.
(strike 2).
I had to poop and went to the rear of the store and you know how that goes.
Closed for cleaning and a sign that said there is a restroom up front. I hoped
I would make it making a straight line thru the women's clothes and got to
the restroom just in time and, believe it or not, both stalls were open. I sat
there only a little while when a young boy of about 12 hurried to the other
booth. I have excellent hearing for my age and I heard him strain in trying
to poop. I guess my opinion here is that young people now eat to much
processed food and now at a early age they are already straining to poop.
I purchased some other things and then went to the food section and went
to my aisle. I consider the canned fish aisle to be my aisle because I like
fish, plain and simple. I can purchase everything I like at Walmart except
tuna salad in a can. For that I have to go to General Dollar.
After getting all the items I needed, I walked to the front checkout.
The conveyor belt was not working at that checkout and I had to push my
items toward the cashier and I considered that to be my strike 3.
SPORTS and MY OPINION
Bill watching, me listening to the TV (4:46 AM 10/24/2016)
I told you yesterday that the Chicago Cubs would play the Cleveland Indians
in the baseball World Series.
Average ticket prices to see the games in person are $3500 in Cleveland and
$6600 in Chicago.
Election campaigns cost millions.
The Academy Awards in Hollywood cost millions.
So, why are families in this country having a hard time in just getting food
to eat?

The Latest: Iran sides with Iraq in dispute with Turkey
Updated: Oct 24, 2016
Excerpt from full article:
The Latest on developments in Iraq as the battle for Mosul enters its second
week.
"Iran says Turkey should get permission from Iraq's government to participate
in the operation to take back Mosul from the Islamic State group — a statement
with which Tehran waded into a dispute over the presence of Turkish troops in
northern Iraq.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi said on Monday that
"it is not acceptable at all if a country, under the pretext of combating
terrorism or any other crimes, tries to violate the sovereignty" of another
country.
Some 500 Turkish troops stationed at a base near Mosul are training Iraqi
Sunni and Kurdish forces that are taking part in the offensive, which began
a week ago.
The Shiite-led government in Baghdad says the Turks are there without
permission and has ordered them out. Turkey has refused, insisting it play
a role in the offensive to retake Mosul, a Sunni-majority city. Shiite-majority
Iran is a close ally of the Baghdad government."
The average BBC News poll got boring both for you and me.
So, BBC News also has a listing borrowed from the web site Real Clear Politics
which is explained below:

indicates those polled were registered voters, while LV indicates likely

MY OPINION
Trump keeps getting blamed for groping women.
Bill Clinton went further than that. People say that that's in the past.
Trump's groping is in the past.
Maybe I just don't understand the thinking here.

Quotes
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

they want and then advise them to do it."

IN THE FLOWER GARDEN WITH FORREST
I have not worked much in the flower beds or yards because nothing much is
needed to do except to go out out and pull a few weeds.
The weather forecasters again with at least a new word to me. Yesterday it was
a "wash out" and today a "passing sprinkle."
Sounds like the first is a great flood and the second is like peeing on the ground.
