Let's see, what wonderful things do I have to share with you? Really, not much. I'm still trying to focus my blog posts into something relevant, entertaining, and interesting. It's tough, let me tell you.
Here are a few of my topics:
1. The Election
2. Hillary, Yea or Nay?
3. Trump, Whats with this guy? 
4. Farm Living ( is the life for me.. Green Acres)
5. Job Frustration
6. Age Discrimination

Okay, Age Discrimination

As everyone knows, but doesn't like to admit, we all get older. Day by day, year after year, it just keeps rolling along. We look in the mirror, notice a few more lines across our foreheads, wrinkles and loose skin. It's horrible, I know. I sometimes wonder how the hell I got this old. I think to myself, "This is the oldest I've ever been." Let me tell you this, it's not worth worrying about. But it continues nevertheless, and I still try to console myself by thinking that I don't look too bad. Who am I trying to kid? I never used to think about aging. That was before I started getting mail from AARP. Telling me that my membership cards were inside, just waiting for me to pay their annual fee. That really got my attention. Yep, over 55 and theres no stopping it.

Here's how it relates to jobs and my lack of success in getting one these days. When I send in a resume, complete with my job history and dates, it sends the reader back decades. Back to the 1980s or 90s. It doesn't matter what I did, how many degrees I have, it all boils down to someone thinking , "Man, this guy is old!!" It seems to be an automatic disqualification for anything. I've tried all sorts of things, from packing and shipping camping gear to research assistant at the local library. It's always the same rejection letter, " ...we had so many qualified applicants...unfortunately you weren't chosen..." It's enough to get anyone disheartened. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Thats all folks. Thats all I got. I'll return tomorrow, if anyone is listening, I'll try to be more interesting.
