Walrus Chronicles: Las Vegas Edition.

Did ya miss me? While I didn’t see Oppo (Swearsies!) I was out celebrating my birthday last week. Guess where? I’ll wait…..

…Okay, hope you got it right. A good time was had by all. Especially me. Especially during the LSU – Clemson game. Thank GAWD the Tigers won. I was really sweating that one I can tell you. Though another part of me was sad they lost.

My only truly tragic story was having Houston +10 (If I can stand it I might relate that one in the future.) But I digress.

Back to my story. What was really amusing was one of the guys in our group of friends is really, really a typical liberal at times. (not always so he is bearable) Having been out golfing the day of Championship game we were late getting to the Casino to watch the game. He was in the “Book” and we went on to get some food first. He joined us later on. I swear to God this was what happened.

Him: “Can you believe it? They cheered Trump at the game! I mean that guy is a racist! And it gets worse! Some guy in the book starts chanting ‘Trump! Trump! Trump!’ and a whole bunch of guys start taking up the chant and cheering. Can you believe that? There were a couple of boos so it wasn’t a total loss.”

Another conversation this weekend.

Him: “How can you like Trump, he’s a racist.”

Me: “Why do you think that?”

Him: “He is, how can you not know that?”

Me: “Because he isn’t”

Him: “You can’t honestly believe that.”

Me: “I can honestly believe that far easier that you should believe that he is a racist.”

Such fun.

The frivolity is over though, time to get back to work. I hope everyone is well and is prepared for a refreshed and raring to go Walrus.

You have been warned.

 

 

Where’s Oppo?

You may have noticed that Oppo has only posted slightly these last few days. Maybe you didn’t notice.

Anyway, Oppo is actually taking some time away. He wrote up some posts ahead of time, but right now he’s not here. He’s on vacation.

I’m not sure where he went. Maybe he went to Disney World. Probably not. They threw me out one time, so I’m not sure they’d let him in.

So, where could he be? Grand Canyon? Mount Rushmore? World’s Largest Ball of Twine?

I don’t know where he is. And it’s really none of my business. But, I am curious. So, if any of you have seen him around, chime in. We need to make sure he’s dressing properly and behaving himself.

There is a word for that!

The library cat is back!

Another doesn’t go by that I don’t want to make you smarter. Or at least fill up your heads with useless information. Well, maybe not Joe Biden level useless but… I’ll let you be the judge.

Today’s word should come in useful this coming year. At least for a while.

Bissextile

Which means “Containing the bissextus or extra day which the Julian calendar inserts in leap-year.”

Happy Leap to all and to all a good night.

Dropping Like Flies

Now Cory Booker has dropped out of the Democrat presidential race. He’s the … well, I don’t actually know how many have already dropped out. He’s number …

Hmph. Seventeen.

How about that. I knew there were a lot, but had no idea there were that many that used to be running. And that leaves … well, I don’t actually know how many are still running. Now I got to count that.

Hmph. There are still 16 running.

That means Booker was the mid-point. Before he dropped out, 16 had and 17 were still running. Now 17 have and 16 are still running.

So the balance has shifted. We’re halfway to finding out who will get the honor to find a way to lose to Donald Trump in November. I can hardly wait!
