The weakling Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley finds it offensive to be called what he is: woke. We find this with way too many of his subordinates because he cultivates the character flaw in our militiary. We need to eliminate the woke element and purge all LGBTQ from our military then cultivate a force which is again ready to defend the United States from all enemies, foreign and domestic. The biggest enemy of the United States is the dirty dealing law breaking democrat party and those underhanded pussies belonging thereto.

The elderly are somewhat under appreciated to the point that all to many are ignored by their closest family.

Though I myself are approaching that 'elderly' stage I still feel that I should look out for my mama.

After all, she looked out for me for oh so many years that I think it's only right that her needs should be attended to with vigor and appreciation for that which she gave to me over the years.

Today is National Senior Citizens Day. It is held each August 21 under the auspices of President Ronald Reagan's Proclamation 5847.

Any day is a good day to show that senior citizen in your life how significant they are to you.

You should take each and every opportunity to exhibit your affection and tell them how you feel with joy in your heart.

My mama lives with independence and dignity because of who she is and who looks after her.

That would be me.

It is an honor to serve my mother in her advancing years and I look forward to each and every moment toward that end.

Seeing to that which she requires is not a burden, but a privilege as far as I am concerned.

Happy National Senior Citizens Day
 

We've been watching the series Young Sheldon lately and I have noticed his propensity for the bow tie. He views it as an appropriate accessory and some of the situations involving them are extremely humorous.

When I was a child I had disdain for the bow tie. It is because of a teacher at Key West who always wore one and I thought it made him look dishonest and shifty. Then there was my cousin and his bow tie with matching tacky tuxdeo for his high school senior pictures. Truly a study in hayseed haute couture if ever I saw any ...

I suppose these feelings were unjustified, but the avoidance of bow ties has stuck with me for these reasons and I offer no apologies.

Today is International Bow Day. It is observed annually each August 19 and celebrates the bow tie as an accessory — so I would guess from this that it does hold popularity in some circles other than my own.

The day promotes the wearing of bows as if we didn't have enough fashion challenged poofs running around anyway. Luckily, I like what I like and there will never be a bow tie in my wardrobe for personal reasons. However, if it's an item you appreciate like our friend Young Sheldon then by all means, go for it.

I understand that the neck tie is simply an option and bow ties may be worn elsewhere than the neck region if that strikes your fancy. I'm afraid my fashion sense will not allow me to go there either. They come in a multitude of colors, styles and different fabrics. I hope you don't end up looking like the outrageous hick my cousin did in his high school senior layout. Shudders !

I suppose he simply cannot help the fact that he was born a yokel.
 

Among the personal fashion faux pas I've observed in my travels is the dreaded 'Hawaiian Shirt'. The colorful so-called 'tropical designs' are a lot of tacky nonsense in my world of fashion sense.

AKA the "aloha shirt" the Hawaiian shirt, is a style of dress shirt which has it's beginnings in Hawaii.

My business attire consists of a rather lengthy shower follwed by long sleeve white shirt, appropriate trousers, hard leather shoes, and a matching belt. My casual attire is typically some dress shorts with a polo shirt and a pair of Sketchers or one of the several sets of wingtip brogues in my wardrobe. Those spheres in which I circulate are inappropriate for anything in a Hawaiian motif ... shirt or otherwise. I suppose that they have their appropriate venues such as a luau on some balmy Waikiki evening with the local delicacies punctuating that tropicalness of it all ...

They are collared and buttoned dress shirts, usually short-sleeved and made from printed fabric — traditionally worn untucked ...

But can be worn tucked into the waist of trousers.
 

Today is Hawaiian Shirt Day.

It is typically celebrated on the third Friday in August so this year it falls on August 18. This observance marks the official day that Hawaii joined the U.S., making it the fiftieth state in the US. So if the flamboyance suits your personality by all means go out and buy yourself a closet full of Aloha Shirts. If you're a tad more conservative — such as I am you may abstain altogether.

Regardless, I hope you celebrate the day in the manner that you wish and if you're so inclined, a very happy Hawaiian Shirt Day to you !
