Buck

poor georgie’s almanack:

Worldwide, not just in Washington, too many politicians have a different understanding of what the sign President Harry Truman kept on his White House desk really meant.

New Year

poor georgie’s almanack: 

IN RE: What my cousin calls the “goyisha” New Year.  

Christian calendars start with birth of Jesus. 

Jewish Calendars about 3760 BCE, a couple centuries after Creation. 

Buddha died 2561 years ago, which Thailand dates as year 1, Sri Lanka as year zero.

Go figure!

New Year Syntax

 poor georgie’s almanack:

We live in the present tense but think in the past tense.  Thus, we see a world that has lost its syntax … especially in states that ban marijuana.  Happy New Year.

New Star Wars ...

poor georgie’s almanack:

Haven’t seen the new Star Wars.  You really gotta go. 

Hint: Sit near the aisle closest to the bathrooms.  

It is two-and-a-half hours long.  

Race

poor georgie’s almanack:

Subtle?

Meghan Markle usually is identified as bi-racial.   

Barack Obama usually is identified as black.

Sea legs

poor georgie’s almanack: 

In-gene-uity. 

An octopus somehow edits its own genes to prolong its life. Humans can’t … yet.

Maybe we will need six arms and two legs, and when the air sucks, survive in salt water. 

It could happen. 

Whale ancestors came from the ocean, didn’t like land, returned to the sea and flourished.
