This presidential election just keeps getting crazier and crazier. Both sides keep slinging mud and neither seems willing to talk about what he or she plans to do if elected. Trump and his cronies continue to shoot themselves in the foot with one crazy tweet or another, one crazy background detail after another. Clinton keeps dodging the e-mail flap and the Benghazi fiasco, keeps trying to evade the accusations of her lying. Just over two months to go before we can vote . . . or not vote. Both candidates are being painted with darker and darker hues. Like I said, crazier and crazier. And more and more painful at the thought of either of them in the Oval Office. What on earth are we going to do? What must the rest of the world think of us? These are the two best candidates for our presidency? We may finally get to see what Trump seems to be hiding in his unreleased tax information. We may get to hear what their plans are if they ever get around to any debates. Meanwhile, a lot of us may simply do like Calvin and not vote for either of them, choosing apathy over Trump or Clinton.
Books, anyone?
I've always collected errors in diction, things people mis-hear, like "windshield factor" and "the next store neighbors." Years ago, one of my students wrote an essay in which she described the world as being harsh and cruel, "a doggy-dog world." I've since come to think she may have been more astute and accurate than those who describe it in the usual way. My Stories - Mobridge Memories -
About Me

Most of what I've written has been published as e-books and is available at Amazon. Match Play is a golf/suspense novel. Dust of Autumn is a bloody one set in upstate New York. Prairie View is set in South Dakota, with a final scene atop Rattlesnake Butte. Life in the Arbor is a children's book about Rollie Rabbit and his friends (on about a fourth grade level). The Black Widow involves an elaborate extortion scheme. Happy Valley is set in a retirement community. Doggy-Dog World is my memoir. And ES3 is a description of my method for examining English sentence structure.
In case anyone is interested in any of my past posts, an archive list can be found at the bottom of this page. I'd appreciate any feedback you may have by sending me an e-mail note--jertrav33@aol.com. Thanks for your interest.
