That's what Stuart said and it makes sense. Except that 2016 is not a year that makes sense. It's wild and crazy and it's Donald Trump that makes it so. He has managed to get the entire country mad at him for his mockery of the Gold Star Muslim mother and father.
Not
one voter in 500 could recall the term "Gold Star mother" before last
week. I could barely remember it myself. My Aunt Bee was a Gold Star
mother because her son Donald died in the World War II. She was very sad
about that, Uncle Ted too, but in recent years, even with 58,000
American soldiers killed in Vietnam, you rarely heard the term Gold Star
mother. Not until this year.
Do we thank Trump for
making the Khan family a media sensation? It's kind of weird that his
mockery catapulted two unknown people into sudden fame.
I'm
writing about Trump because has been all over the front page for days.
Trump is all over the NYTimes and the Washington Post and CNN and MSNBC.
Hillary is buried in the background, she cannot get a word in sideways. Being the first woman is a milestone, but she doesn't get much press for that. She has good programs, and she would be glad to discuss them, but nobody is listening. They're not talking about her program, her pantsuit, her husband..... nothing.

Instead everybody
is mad at Trump. I am kind of negatively impressed. The ENTIRE country
is mad at him, but he gets up every morning without a care in the
world, with no plan and no strategy. The Trump Jet is idling on the
runway and Donald is wondering -- where should I go today?
We
are Luke Warm for Hillary here at Frog Hospital. Last week, we
considered third party options -- the Libertarian or Green parties. Nah!
I just like being a Democrat too much. Gonna vote for Hillary.
Meanwhile, on the home front
Tomatoes. Don't
ask me about tomatoes. I haven't got a clue. If I even look at a tomato
plant it starts to wither and dry up. Or there are little white bugs
eating the leaves, or gophers killing it from the ground up. I am not
your tomato man. Do not come to me for advice.
Roses. I
am doing much better with roses. This morning I gave a light pruning
for a new customer. Twelve roses. I cut a little here, a little there --
it was like poetry, I am that good.
The Santa Barbara Kiwanis Club. I
never joined anything in my life. I didn't play Little League ball
because there were too many grownups watching and too many rules. I
always liked playground baseball better. I never joined in
extra-curricular activities at high school, not in college either.
I
never joined anything. All I ever had in my wallet was a library card, a
Social Security card and a driver's license. No dues, no meetings, no
bylaws. None of that.
So I made it through life that
way and never joined anything. I proved my point. That's why I joined
the Kiwanis Club. Now I go to meetings every week, even board meetings,
and I take notes and pay attention. I am developing administrative
skills, no longer fighting the Overhead, but being a part of it.
At
the Kiwanis Club we raise money and give scholarships to worthy high
school students. It's not complicated. We do not allow political debate
or religious recruitment at meetings, so members will not get
blindsided.
I will be telling you more about Kiwanis
in coming editions of the Frog Hospital newsletter, but for today I am
wishing you the best of health, peace, love and prosperity.
