“Why do you do that?” I watched the Geezer Gator get his tide marker out for his monthly update. Each full moon he measures the level of the high tide from the top of the sea wall and records its height on a strip of wood. He’s done this since I’ve been here in our Southwest Florida home– that’s 2 1/2 years.
”It’s my version of a lie detector, Sandy.” The old boy looked at the stick and grunted. “I’ll set this out so I don’t miss marking it. Full moon is on the 7th. I forgot last month.”
“You okay? You haven’t fallen and bumped your head? Or developed malaria? Maybe we should take your temperature.” Once in a while I get concerned about the old boy’s mental state. I figure there must be rust on that brain of his. “How on earth can that serve as a lie detector?”
The Geezer Gator laughed. “I can understand your confusion. This started ‘BS.’ That’s ‘before Sandy.’ Five years ago when the flap about global warming was peaking, I decided to do a little survey for myself. I’ve owned this place on an ocean-connected canal for 29 years. I hadn’t noticed any difference in the water level, but unless you recorded the actual height would you really know? It’s pretty important since the information some folks have been putting out is that this property will be under water in a few years. I decided to find out for myself. Was the book “An Inconvenient Truth” fact, or just “A Politically Motivated Lie?”
“And the answer is?” I asked.
The Geezer shuffled through a stack of papers stored by the stick. “In the 63 observations I’ve made, the net increase is 3/16 inches. That’s in about five years. Actually, it’s gone down a couple times. Since the average high tide level is 29″ from the seawall top, and if I use the 5 year rate of increase it means the seawall top will be breached in 773 years. What do you think, Sandy?”
“Liar, liar, pants on fire!”
”That’s my deduction too, Sandy. But, lets remember there are a lot of factors that may change. And, while the increase is insignificant, it is an increase. Things could get worse. China and India are just really getting started on putting autos on the road. The global economy is developing new industrial capabilities and power requirements world wide.” He got his sly, ’my tongue is in my cheek,’ look. “And of course, there’s the continuing problem of animal life producing all those pollutants.”
“Sounds like none of that is going to change.”
“Let the liars, I mean politicians, have some time to dream up ways to make it appear like they’re working on the problems while at the same time strengthening their political power and padding the pockets of their friends and business partners.”
“That sounds pretty cynical to me, Geezer.” I have to keep the old boy in line. “Just how would they go about that?”
The old boy rubbed his mustache and looked into space hoping a friendly alien would beam down an answer. Amazingly one must have. He smiled and said, “Bicycle pedals, Windmills, and Beano.”
I couldn’t believe my ears. “Geezer, what are you talking about? How do those three do anything to solve the problems of more cars in the emerging economies, the need for more power, gases in the atmosphere? For example, China and India already have huge numbers of bicycles.”
“Did I say bicycles? I didn’t say bicycles. It’s pedals, pedals, pedals. In fact, the politicians will tell you that pedals solve the unemployment problem as well. We’ll hook up those pedals to electrical generators, have the unemployed turn them in shifts, convert all cars to electric, and have GE make the conversion kits.”
I enjoy a spoof as much as the next canine. I played along, “What if there aren’t enough people unemployed?”
“No problem. The government will simply decree that ALL people must spend two hours, or what ever it takes, on the power tread mills. Freedom is no longer an issue, government can do anything, like set salaries, cancel debts, bankrupt businesses, make value judgements of a persons mental judgments based on race and gender. Why not tell us we have to do our part for the collective?”
No sense reasoning with the Geezer when he gets those hypotheticals rolling. He always seems to come up with another tale. I decided to move on. “The windmills are for generating power, right?”
“Yep. GE will have a monopoly on that, too. So that fits. Might be able to use some of the unemployed to blow on the blades. The government is creating more of those folks in the auto industry by producing more cars in China. They could set up a couple windmills in the studios of MSNBC, CBS, CNN, ABC, FOX, and NBC so that something usable comes out of those blow hards.”
“I’ll drink to that!” I had to agree. I cautiously asked, “Butttt..What about the Beano? Explain that.”
”Sure, Sandy. We can get the government to hire Haliburton to clandestinely put Beano in all foods for humans and all domestic animals, world wide. Think of the impact. Less methane to attack the Ozone layer. You can eat leftovers without fumigating the house for roaches. Cows won’t poot in pastures decreasing the mating urges of bull frogs and crickets thereby eliminating those surplus populations. I won’t ever have to worry about cutting a fart in a crowded elevator, having to look at the guy next to me like he did it, while waving my hand in front of my nose and saying, “Some People.”
I shook my head and said, “Geezer, really.”
He laughed. “Okay Sandy, I take it all back except for one thing.”
My paw covered my squinted eyes because I had to ask. “And…what’s that?”
“Politicians are liars.”
You can’t argue with a universal truth.

February 10- The Economy….of garage sales
February 10, 2009 at 11:01 pm | Posted in Books, economy, Humor, Media, Politics, publishing, Reading, Writing | 7 CommentsTags: animal tales, Books, dogs, Entertainment, Fox & Friends, Humor, life, Politics, publishing, Reading, Writing
THE ECONOMY!!!!!! Before any of you scream, “Oh no!!! NOT another one of those political rants disguised as humor!” I’m happy to say this has nothing to do with politics or the sub-human species that practice them.
The Geezer and I agreed, soon after we started this blog, to stay away from heavy-duty politi-comment. Our jottings are primarily devoted to reading enjoyment, writing, humor, books, publishing, and of course, dogs. Well, actually animals. The Geezer is one opinionated old fogey, but he’s wise enough to have a separate blog to express his thoughts for those looking for such, dare I say it, manure.
To be honest, we did a little when we started the blog, but quickly abandoned the practice after READING some of the tripe, left and right, masquerading as humor. I have a visual of the people producing this *#@&!. They all have very long, very thin faces so their minds will fit in the very narrow space. The Geezer and I decided that’s fine in a political, liberal, conservative, etc.,etc., tagged blog, but not as an imposition on readers who just want to laugh. So…onward!
Several days ago the Geezer decided that he’d sell the stuff he was clearing out from under the house. The cleaning was a bi-product of one of the Geezer’s New Year’s Resolutions I wrote about, remember? Anyway, when he told me his plan, I asked, “How you gonna do that?”
“I’m going to hold a garage sale,” he said.
“A what??” Our garage is under our house, I couldn’t figure…
“You know, a yard sale!” The Geezer squinted at me. He looked perplexed, like I should know how he could sell either without our moving.
I rolled my eyes and ended up looking skyward. “If I knew, I wouldn’t have asked.” I’d figured it out, but decided to make the old boy explain it to me. You have to train humans to express themselves clearly.
“Sandy, a garage sale refers to material that was in the garage, but that you want to dispose…” The Geezer frowned. My smug expression gave me away. “Smart ass!” he said.
I watched the preparations as he spent most of his waking hours opening boxes, sorting, cleaning, polishing, and pricing the “junk.” He bought cleaning chemicals, rags, and brushes. He also bought a couple large folding tables to display the hoard to his would be customers. The stickers he used to put the prices on had to be purchased. When Mrs. G asked how anyone would know we were having the sale, he decided to make signs and put an ad in the local fish wrapper. Mrs. G suggested it would be “nice” to have coffee and tea for people stopping to shop. Mrs. Gator’s wish is the Geezer’s command so he purchased some flavored coffee and tea, creamer, sugar, and Styrofoam cups. After looking at the amounts scribbled on the tags, I shook my head. The Geezer just isn’t an economic genius.
Game day! The people milled around the tables, picked up items, examined them critically, and put them back down. A few bought “stuff,” but generally offered less than what the sticker requested. When the crowd disappeared, Mrs. G packed the left-over material in the pickup and made the trek to Goodwill! That was 2/3rds of what the Geezer started with.
The next day, after he returned from the chiropractor, I asked, “Well, did you make any money?”
He smiled, then winced. His back was very tender. “Yep, I took in $187.47,” he said proudly.
“But how much did it cost you?”
“Let’s see.” The boiler in his cranium began to build up steam. “The tables were $22 each, that’s 44.” He hesitated allowing the engine’s pressure to raise. “Cleaning supplies were $14, coffee and such were…$17, stickers were $3, material for signs $6,” his enthusiasm was waning- reality can do that to you, “two days ad in the paper was $55.” Yes Columbus, the world is round.
“That’s $139. So you made 187.47, less 139, less the cost of the 60 mile trip Mrs. Gator made to Goodwill, say $10. I’m not Einstein, but doesn’t that mean you actually made $38.47?”
The Geezer didn’t look like he retained any thoughts comparing him to Einstein. He did look sheepish. He said, “I’ll rethink my next garage sale before I have one. Or not.”
I wanted to mention the $60 doctor visit, but have learned to keep my muzzle closed when it’s appropriate. Besides, the Geezer’s bad back couldn’t be directly blamed on the garage sale.
As customers milled around the tables, the Geezer was seated in a camping chair and I was lying next to him. He’d tied my leash to the chair’s back, keeping me from creating mischief. So he thought. Up pulls this Cadillac. Directly behind the Geezer’s chair, out steps this male, rich, handsome, endowed, great Dane. Come on, I’ve got hormones! I took off to greet this Adonis. Unfortunately, I forgot about the leash.
Wham!!! When I came to the leash’s end, it slamed the Geezer and chair over backward. He looked like an out-take from one of the “Beethoven” movies. I stopped abruptly when I felt the impact tremor. The Geezer ain’t a light weight. His legs extended upward toward the sun, making a huge letter “V” for the 20 folks who couldn’t help but chuckle. They quickly helped him up and, not being a dumb dog, I quickly was a contrite canine. Or made that appearance.
Still, it was difficult to keep from laughing for a thought had flitted across my mind. It was a good thing the Geezer isn’t Scottish. Imagine the scene if he wore a kilt!

November 5 – Thank goodness, it’s over !! … ??
November 5, 2008 at 3:05 pm | Posted in Books, Current events, Elections, Politics, Reading, Uncategorized, Writing | Leave a commentTags: conservative, Election, Reading, Republican, Writing
Wow, it was beautiful on the dock this morning. Pleasant November coolness surrounded me and my friend as we watched the early morning sun reflect and dance off the gentle ripples lacing the canal. The fish must have slept in for none disturbed the surface. Something very fresh, very exciting, and very new filled the day; it was as though an unseen entity was being born.
The mystic’s arrival was peaceful and quiet. Very Quiet! I guessed the Geezer was depressed and that caused his uncharacteristic silence. The election, one where he disliked both candidates but supported the one which he considered the much lesser evil, is history. Bad history as far as the Geezer Gator is concerned. As ardently as the old boy had supported the non-communist candidate, I was glad to see him seem to accept the outcome. Though his usual smile wasn’t present, there was a serenity in his countenance I hadn’t seen in weeks.
He didn’t ignore me; he never does that. The usual praise came when I did my morning sashay around the yard. The pets and pats that accompany the words were there. But, the conversation he inevitably starts wasn’t forthcoming. I sat at his side and joined his stare at the canal. He put his hand on my shoulder and stroked my coat gently.
“You feeling sad this morning?” I asked.
“No. Why, should I be?” he replied.
“You’re awful quiet and the election didn’t turn out like I know you wanted. I thought, well…”
The Geezer grinned. “Better?” he asked.
“Yes.” It was a great relief to see my friend wasn’t distraught. “I’m glad getting defeated that way didn’t get you in a funk — you know, depressed.”
The Geezer smiled, cocked his head to the side, and raised an eyebrow. His eyes burned bright with an inner fire I see from time to time. “Do you think I’m defeated, Sandy?”
I looked at the Geezer. His posture, expression, and demeanor didn’t contain a hint of loss or surrender. “No, I don’t think you are.”
”Good observation, gal. Remember this, Sandy, you’re only defeated when you allow yourself to be.”
“And, you don’t choose to be, do you?”
“I sure don’t. Yesterday’s battle is just that. Today’s preparation for the next skirmish is the important issue. Licking wounds and self-pity do nothing to enhance what must be done in the future. A wise general plans and prepares while his enemy celebrates, sleeps, and tries to assume control. Our adversaries have done that. That’s what I’ll do. That’s the course I’ll encourage those who share my convictions to take. Those compatriots are not defeated unless they choose to be. They can, should, and will dedicate themselves to have their ideals reborn”
“Strange you should say that, Geezer. Right before we started talking I had the definite feeling that this day brought a new possibility, a birth if you will.”
The Geezer took a deep breathe of fresh, new, cool air. “I believe you’re right, Sandy. Thank goodness today is the day we begin again!”

October 19 – Is salsa the only thing made New York City?
October 22, 2008 at 12:59 pm | Posted in Current events, Elections, Media, News, Politics, TV, Uncategorized | Leave a commentTags: conservative, Election, Fox News, liberal, Media, New York City, Politics
Hi!! I’m back. Geezer returned my blog to me. I’ll fill you in on today’s conversation we had while sitting by the canal.
”Geezer, is New York City better than the rest of the world?” I asked the old boy. We were walking to the dock to watch the schools of mullet idly swim around the tanin stained water after our morning TV watching session.
”Why did you ask that, Sandy?” The Geezer looked at me like I was crazy.
”Oh, it was something that was said on that TV show you watch most mornings. They were talking about a bunch of women that were angry that another lady was running for vice president. The people talking on TV made it sound like a disasster. They said women were wanting to jump out of windows, want to kill the candidate, and the commentators seemed concerned that these women were upset. It sounded to me that those women more important than others.”
”They made it sound that way.” The Geezer stepped down on the dock and plopped his rear onto the seawall. ”Let me answer your question by asking you one. Do you think you’re inferior to the dogs that live in Naples or Sanibel?”
“No way! I’m just as smart, just as ethical, just as good looking, as those hounds.”
“Sure you are. How about those that live in Cincinnati, or St. Louis, or Dallas?” I knew the Geezer was espousing equality, but I wasn’t sure I knew what his end destination would be.
“I don’t know any dogs from those cities, but I can’t see why there would be any difference between them and me.”
The old boy pointed to the plethora of mullet swimming around the canal. “I wish I had my cast net. I could toss it once and we’d have fish for a month.”
“Yuk! I’m not a fish eating affection-ado. Let’s get back to the subject. What’s your point?”
”Oh, yes. New York City. I take it that you wouldn’t feel inferior to a New York City dog, right?” He looked at me as though he had a hidden agenda.
“You’re trying to trick me, aren’t you?” I asked.
“No.”
I rolled my eyes and tossed my head. “Okay, I’ll bite. No, I don’t feel New York City dogs are any better than me.”
“And you’d be right! Those dogs are the same as you and the people that live there are the same as me or Mrs. Gator. No better, no worse.” The Geezer lifted his eyebrows. “I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with New Yorkers. There’s many brilliant, educated, and wonderful people there. And, there’s narrow minded, unintelligent, vicious folks in that city, too. You can say the exact same thing about people in Bokeelia, FL, Walled Lake, MI, or Folsom, CA., and the percentages are similar. Want to know why many New Yorkers have an attitude?” Geezer cocked his head to the side.
I nodded.
“The networks, publishing companies, and other media organizations are based in New York. The difference is that people living in that city get more press than the rest of the country, and due to this many, not all,” he paused as he cautioned me, ”have deluded themselves that they’re more important than those of us living elsewhere in the country, or for that manner, the world. They think they’re better educated, smarter, and so on.”
“Are they?”
“No.” Geezer laughed. “They think they are. They’d tell you about their Harvard educations, their control of finance, their control of media. Think about that in terms of whats happening today. Those folks with their Ivy League degrees and control of Wall Street have created the crisis this country is in. The rest of us Americans are having to clean up the manure they’ve made.”
”That’s true.”
“And, think of this. All those New Yorkers who are publishers and network mouths want to tell you how they’re for truth and the American way. Would you call a person that is so intolerant of someone whose ideas are different from theirs that they want to kill them, get physically sick that person has a chance to succeed, and lash out with personal attacks that have nothing to do with the issues, 1. intelligent, or 2. ignorant.”
“No brainer! Ignorant.”
“You win the prize, Sandy.” The Geezer smirked. “Still think those folks are better than the rest of we Americans?”
”Nope. Let’s talk about something more important than how the New York City ladies are upset with that Palin woman, like the price of manure in China.”

October 8 – Where’s the bailout today? Striking back at those that screwed us. A list of those who voted for the bailout.
October 9, 2008 at 2:19 pm | Posted in Current events, economy, Elections, Media, News, Politics, TV | 4 CommentsTags: Congress, conservative, Democrat, economy, Elections, Fox News, liberal, News, Politics, Republican
So how are things for you today? A whole lot better? Has that 700 billion dollars of Wall Street Welfare that had to be passed immediately by our slime bag congress, solved the problems? Remember, Fox and the other networks said the world would perish tomorrow, has it? Has the Market stopped tanking? Have you seen the effort made by the networks to justify their propaganda effort to support the bailout for their Wall Street friends? Have you noticed that Paulson appointed a Goldman Sachs henchman to be the czar for the distribution of the spoils? How about the $400,000 celebration party held by one group of execs (AIG) after they got their bailout? How about the fact the same group was then given ANOTHER $30 billion loan after this? Had enough yet?
What we can do is vote out the manure that voted for the bill to restore wealth to the very idiots that caused this problem for us. No matter what your political philosophy a vote against these folks is a vote to insure you can maintain your democratic rights to practice being a liberal or a conservative or a centrist. The House and Senate members who supported this gift for their power broker friends obviously don’t care about the will of their constituents and justify their vote by saying that, “I had to do it to save the economy because the people don’t know enough to understand the problem.” Oh yeah? We understand the problem, its the large number of lice in congress. And the bottom feeders and traitors in the media that are their allies.
Here’s a list of things we can do.
1) Find out if your Representative or Senator voted FOR the bailout and VOTE AGAINST them in November! There is a list of all the thieves at the end of this post. If they’re unopposed, write in “Mickey Mouse,” as a protest.
2) Call your senator, if he voted for the bailout, and ask… what is required to recall a sitting senator– a constitutional amendment? How do we get started getting this done? These SOBs feel because they have 6 year terms they have a license to steal. They’ll either get the message or we’ll have a way to get rid of them.
3) Equally important is to support those honest and principled congress members that voted against the bill. Give their office a brief call. It’s important to let them know we appreciate their statesmanship. They keep track of such things.
4) Email both presidential candidates and tell them how despicable you think their lack of courage was for failing to oppose the bailout.
5) Contact your representative and ask her/him to do what should have been done when the original bill was up — pass rules as to how the bailout gift is distributed, including: a mechanism to force the funds to be released into the credit market directly, that the current czar appointee (part of the problem industry) be immediately removed and someone like Buffet or Romney be put in place, remove Paulson from any future involvement, and be sure that no one gets big comp packages and paid vacations like AIG. (Send those folks to jail)
6) Let people like FOX News know your anger with the congress extends to them as well. Deluge their email sites with scalding remarks. Don’t support their new projects like their new business channel, the books (probably ghost written) they sell through name recognition of their personalities, contact cable and dish companies about dropping them, and contact their advertisers to protest. TUNE OUT FOX PROGRAMS FOR ONE WEEK STARTING 10/12 to show them our rejection of dishonest journalism.
7) PASS THIS INFO TO EVERYONE YOU CAN. To make it easy, copy this address and send it on to friends and associates. SandySays1.wordpress.com
