JOKE: An old, blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels. After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, “Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?” The bar immediately falls absolutely silent..... ...in a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, “Before you tell that joke, Cowboy, I think it is only fair, given that you are blind, that you should know five things: The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat. The bouncer is a blonde girl. I’m a 6-foot tall, 175-pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate. The woman sitting next to me is blonde and a professional weight lifter. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler. Now, think about it seriously, Cowboy. Do you still wanna tell that blonde joke?” The blind cowboy thinks for a second, shakes his head and mutters, “No, not if I’m gonna have to explain it five times.” - What’s the difference between John Wayne and Jack Daniels? Jack Daniels is still killing Indians - Jack Daniels couldn’t be here today, But he’s here in spirit.

TRUMP AGAINST AMERICA: Yesterday in one sentence: Trump demanded that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker “be in jail”; former FBI Director James Comey pleaded not guilty to charges of making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding; the FBI fired three agents tied to former special counsel Jack Smith’s investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election; Democratic voting rights groups warned that Republicans could gain up to 19 new House seats if the Supreme Court dismantles Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act; Speaker Mike Johnson reversed course and said Democratic Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva won’t be sworn in until Democrats agree to reopen the government; and the Senate failed for the sixth time to advance a short-term funding bill, extending the government shutdown into its second week.
WELLNESS: “There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.” John Lennon

HISTORICAL CONSCIOUSNESS: 2022 - Wilco play Carol’s Pub. 2020 - A lovely Bisbee weekend. 2020 - The World Food Program, a United Nations agency, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. 2017 - It took less than one half of an inning for the St. Louis Cardinals to push themselves to the 2019 National League Championship Series. The Cardinals scored 10 runs in the top of the first, chasing Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz on their way to an easy 13-1 win in Game 5 of their NLDS matchup. Eleven of the first 12 Cardinals hitters reached base in the record-setting first. Their 10 runs were the most ever scored in the first inning of a playoff game and matched the overall postseason record for most runs in a single inning. It was awesome. 2012 – Members of the Pakistani Taliban make a failed attempt to assassinate an outspoken schoolgirl, Malala Yousafzai. 2009 - President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. It was a bit much. Too soon. Trump’s head exploded. 1985 - Marking what would have been John Lennon’s 45th birthday, Yoko Ono formally opened the three and a half acre garden at the Strawberry Fields site in New York’s Central Park. The area was planted with trees, shrubs and flowers gathered from across the world and with a $1M donation from Yoko. 1967 - Guerrilla leader Che Guevara was executed in Bolivia while attempting to incite revolution. 1936 - The first generator at Boulder (later Hoover) Dam began transmitting electricity to Los Angeles. 1919 – Black Sox Scandal: The Cincinnati Reds won the World Series. 1874 – The Universal Postal Union is created by the Treaty of Bern.
“It’s weird not to be weird.” John Lennon
