Holed up in Heaven

Here we sit having coffee in Heaven Bay.  Over twenty years ago Pat and Kadizzle sailed in here and claimed the bay in the name of all sailors.  Rain fell all night, but it was wonderful sleeping.  Winds yesterday were reasonable and here we are.  Today wind from the North East at 10.  Enough of a northerly flow will get us back to base.  The propane gave out and by the grace of Rodger we are cooking French toast this morning.  The Commander poured all the extra juice in with the toast so it will be scrambled egg French toast.  The big question will be if The Commander lets Kadizzle drench the toast in syrup as is his custom.

Looks like the Democrats are off to a good start.  Refreshing to hear from sane people. The Trump threat to our democracy is a scary thing.  Like many people Kadizzle wanted to see Trump get nominated to ruin the Republicans chance.  Now that it has happened, it is scary.  It is like having an apple shot off your head.  If it works it is exciting, if not pulling the arrow out of your nose is painful.  If nothing else this election will be a census on exactly how many stupid people are among us.  If the number is too high we are doomed.  Stupidity, fear, and a disregard fro history are the main causes of Trump's success.  Playing on the emotions of ignorant people who are unshaped by the truth is something Trump has perfected.  Someone has to buy pet rocks, someone has to send in the 19.95, and someone believes you can cook the planet with no problems.  Trump has tapped into those someones.  Now, if the people who read, understand science, and know history don't get off their arses and vote we are doomed.  Stirring up idiots is easy. That is how lynchings start, that is how riots start, that is how disaster is initiated.  Yell fire in a theater, that is Trump's specialty.   Trump paints a picture of our country that is simply not true. There are more jobs, crime is down, and our country economically leads the world.  Those are the facts.  Trump wants to make American great again.  Great to him is blacks on the back of the bus and Mexicans picking vegetables for slave wages.  The man who wants to make American great stole the services of the architect that built his golf course. He would not pay him.  The Donald stole pianos from the man he would not pay.  The Donald is famous for stiffing people.   Elect him and watch him stiff the country.
