Most good weather days find me sittin'-a-spell on the backyard swing with Toy Poodle, Yodie ponderin' the ways of the world. Frequently, Yodie's ponderin' moments are interrupted by squirrels scampering from tree-to-tree. Grandpa E. V. Bennett often used that word 'ponder' and Mammy Bennett would frequently say, "My heads swimmin', believe I'll sit-a-spell." I suppose those words are Kentuckyisms.
Aside from the nice breeze under three large Ash trees, which beckon my company it is oft times that 'confounded' cable news that drives me outdoors.Why just yesterday, I was channel switching from MSNBC to FOX News listening to a plethora of folks attempting to explain our President. I felt sorry for all those pundits. I'll be damn if both channels were not running the same Viagra commercial at the same time. The commercial uses the phrase, 'erectile dysfunction.' Now, there's words you'd NEVER hear E.V. Or Mammy Bennett uttering! Actually, I never thought I'd see in my lifetime adults talking about 'penis pills' on prime time television, but I never believed in my lifetime I'd observe this kind of White House disarray.
While sittin'-a-spell and ponderin', it looked like rain so I headed out for my daily walk. My doctor tells me that walking keeps my cholesterol numbers good and improves BLOOD flow. This sounds like a game plan to stave off the need for pills and delay my same day heart surgery. By the way, you might want to use words like 'dadgumit' and 'confoundit' instead of curse words when you're truly "pissed off!'
If you're ever near Decatur stop by and sit-a-spell...we'll 'kubits.'
