Summer — The First Time

It was a hot afternoon
Last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One ten in the shade
And the pavement was steaming

I told Billy Ray
In his red Chevrolet
I needed time for some thinking
I was just walking by
When I looked in her eye
And I swore it was winking

She was thirty one and I was seventeen
I knew nothing about love, she knew everything
When I sat down beside her on the front porch swing
And wondered what the coming night would bring

The sun closed her eyes
As it climbed in the sky
And it started to swelter
The sweat trickled down the front of her gown
I thought it would melt her

She threw back her hair
Like I wasn't there
She sipped on a julep
Her shoulders were bare
And I tried not to stare
When I looked at her two lips

And when she looked at me
I heard her softly say
I know you're young
You don't know what to do or say
But stay with me until the sun has gone away
And I will chase the boy in you away

And then she smiled then we talked for a while
Then we walked for a mile to the sea
We sat on the sand, and the boy took her hand
But I saw the sun rise as a man

Ten years have gone by
Since I looked in her eye
But the memory lingers
I got back in my mind
To the very first time
And feel the touch of her fingers

It was a hot afternoon
Last day of June
And the sun was a demon
The clouds were afraid
One ten in the shade
And the pavement was steaming

Today is the birthday of the wealthiest man on the planet. Elon Reeve Musk was born June 28, 1971, in Pretoria, South Africa.

He is an entrepreneur who began in internet start-ups which were later sold for millions apiece.

He is CEO and founder of some of the largest and most successful companies in the world.

He works in artificial intelligence, space technology, car design, public transport, and is known internationally ...

And not without controversy. His net worth is around $263.3 billion.

Mr Musk was born to Maye Musk who is Canadian and Errol Musk who is South African.

He has been married four times, twice to one woman and has eight children.

His visionary approach has been fodder for jealous people who claim he is unorthodox and unscientific. Yet his stuff works well.

Unorthodox suits me just fine personally because the orthodoxed approaches are pretty shoddy in and of themselves. Thanks worthless public education system.

Today is Elon Musk's birthday. He is 54 years old today.
 

When I was working for a local incorporated municipality we were forced to work from home by the city manager who was a stupid democrat touting the same incorrect and deadly COVID vaccine bullshit while taking all of her queues from the dumbass Biden administration.

This was the beginning of the end for me because I viewed all of this as a ploy to stay home and screw off and still be paid because this dullard didn't do much of anything anyway aside from adding employees to fill those never ending holes in her knowledge and awareness.

Such are the notions of those with ulterior motives ...

Particularly when they have the intellect of a rock.

Personally, I am always someone who needed somewhere to go. For me work was that outlet.

I never viewed COVID as all that much of a personal threat and when the government became involved in such "plandemic" operations was just another reason to leave the democrats infesting the workplace like so many cockroaches so I wouldn't have to look at their lazy stupid dumb asses anymore. The attempts to force what has turned out to be a deadly vaccine on the employees are even more damning on these senseless shortsighted human being remnants of the gd Coble administration put in place by the conniving negro charles austin.

Working from home only created a vacuum in my workday and caused me to become contemptuous of the stupid employees who wanted this misrepresentation of efficiency. Needless to say I did not remain much longer in this get over place because I grew sick of the moron leadership geometrically with each passing incompetent day. Where are the death squads when you really need them, anyway?

Today is National Work From Home Day.

Working from home remains a valuable commodity in the lives of many. If it's something you value go for it. Even now in retirement I would just as soon not be bothered.
 

Violence is never the answer But people can only be pushed so far.
