Yeah, here's one of those socially aware days of which I'm not really a participant.

Electronic greetings are a cultivar of the internet early on and some of those sources of these cards and such are really creative with their animations and best wishes.

So while these digital greetings wonders aren't my forte nowadays I did have a brief spate with them way back when.

I can't even remember my first JibJab greeting but this illustrious example was so long ago and only scratches the surface of what's available.

Nowadays I will send a graphic I created for the blog along with a personal greeting in an email and call it a day.

My days of Graphic Animation System for Professionals long being past it's that time in my life to keep my thoughts primarily to myself and share with those only most close to me these days.

Digital media are what Electronic Greetings Day is all about. If you're so inclined send something to someone.
 

So the day after Thanksgiving kicks off the traditional first day of the Chistmas shopping season.

The day is replete with alleged special reduced prices from most of the retailers.

Referred to as Black Friday; the term term is likely derived from the proposition that businesses operate at a financial loss, i.e., 'in the red' until the day after Thanksgiving, when massive sales finally allow them to turn a profit, or put them 'in the black'.

The terms clearance, discount, reduction, and sale characterize the day.

Me, I'm staying home. Anymore cash in a Christmas card suffices quite nicely for me, my vendors, and significant others.

I get to feel generous and they get to have a nice lunch or beverage of their choice on me.

Happy Black Friday to you if you choose to join the fray !

Yawn.
 

I'm afraid that the libtard democrats and their indoctrinated stupidity laden ilk the genZ and Millenials have pretty much quashed What Do You Love About America Day for me personally.

What I love about America is that possibility that the democrat criminal elements which gave rise to the Biden criminal family enterprise and the single most incompetent chief executives since Jimmy Carter then allowed them to profiteer by selling access to the federal government might be thrown up against a wall and shot like their counterparts Nicolae Ceaușescu and his pseudointellectual first bitch Elena.

Adding insult to injury this was all made possible with the active support of the main stream media, the justice department, and the FBI who have been weaponized by the democrats since Obama to the detriment of the nation and the taxpayer.

Surely the evil in The Republic can be eliminated just as the Romainans took charge and routed it out of their government.

The entirety of the world cannot be so totally blind to that point they appear to be.

Execution by firing squad is the perfect solution to the pervasive criminal element we presently find in the government of the United States of America.

A dead criminal can no longer pursue crime. Those who place criminals into public office are criminals as well. The woke and libtard are more than just stupid. They promote criminal government incursions into our life and liberty. This is what happens with indoctrination and the permissive attitude toward sicko educators in the public school system.

The muslims are fed up with pornography in the schools and sexualizing early education. Where are the sense and sensibility of the rest of the nation? Rise up and make yourself heard by the leadership who would permit this indoctrination subterfuge masquerading as education to continue under your very noses.

We've raised generations of idiots who want entitlements and other somethings for nothing.

Shame !
 

When I was 8 years old sitting in Mrs Munyon's 3rd grade classroom at Aragona Elementary School of Jericho Road in Aragona Village, Virginia Beach, Virginia the school intercom came on abruptly and began playing the radio.

We listened to accounts of the assassination of John Fitzgerald Kennedy, 35th president of the United States of America.

A period of grieving ensued for what seemed like an eternity.

I was left feeling vulnerable ... even more than an 8 year old should feel as I watched my mother crying as she viewed the funeral procession on the television set.

It was a very sad period in my life punctuated by my greater understanding of the circumstances and understanding of that treachery which consists of governmental factions who think they are in charge of that which should have belonged to the voters.

So, on November 22, 1963 John Fitzgerald "Jack" Kennedy, 35th President of the United States died at age 46 from gun shot wounds fired by an assassin in Dallas, Texas, United States.

Dulles, Bush, Johnson. The memories haunt me still. Yet the truth will never be revealed because there are too many strange bedfellows in Washington DC.

When I was a kid I thought I wanted a motorcycle more than anything.

My daddy even agreed to get me one when I became old enough, though it ended up being a car instead.

Fact was, a motorcycle was likely just a figment of my imagination because as time progressed I saw too many accidents to pursue the thought.

Early on I did have a 50 cc scooter or two but nothing with which I could seriously injure myself.

I was also very happy with the automobile my daddy bought me after I got my drivers license.

Today is Go For A Ride Day.

The day is for you to get out into the world using the vehicle of your choice ...

Or you could simply get out and hoof it on an excursion.

It's not so much about the destination moreso the journey.

My personal conveyance is a pickup truck these days. It's getting on in years and mileage but it has great sentimental value so I've taken excellent care of it and it remains in good shape. I seem to have gravitated toward this type vehicle from the old days when I taught college.

So I will likely get out and go somewhere. Don't know where. Don't care.

Like I said, it's mostly about the journey. Going for a ride is second nature these days.
