A friend gave me something rather unusual on Saturday. I imagine it’s something no one is supposed to have. It’s a rock. At least that’s what it looks like. In reality it’s a piece of construction material used at Stonehenge, the ancient pagan worship center on Salisbury Plain in England. I say “many years ago” and “ancient.” That doesn’t even begin to touch it. This fascinating structure took a while to build and a good date for that was around 2500 B.C. Almost 5,000 years ago! Nobody really knows what kind of religious ceremonies were conducted at Stonehenge, back in the dim past. Probably worship of the earth and the sun. This is one of England’s national treasures and visitors stand in wonder as they see it looming there, pillared columns looking like upside down U’s. Who knows, perhaps your great-grandfather, countless generations ago, helped construct this strange edifice. Tracey Spry was in the office and held the Stonehenge “rock” in her hand, saying it felt very warm to the touch. I’ll treasure this item from long ago and am grateful to the K.C. friend who passed it along.

Hunter was finally indicted for lying about being on drugs when he bought a gun. The same gun Hallie Biden found “unlocked” in his truck. She tossed it in a trash can near a school. The Secret Service retrieved it. What a stitch up! Name another family that can behave like this and get away with it? What does this say about America? More charges are supposedly on the way for tax evasion and money laundering. I wouldn’t hold my breath on that. Meanwhile, President Biden told a group of community college students that he, “Taught political theory at the University of Pennsylvania for four years.” This was right after he flew a helicopter rescue mission into Tehran to pull out Corn Pop and his Special Forces Team. UNBELIEVABLE! Ah well, spinning these tales comes naturally to Uncle Joe. He’s had 50 years of practice while taking a paycheck from taxpayers.

It’s time to stop for the day and get another Diet Coke before the government bans that too. Hang in there old buddy and remember, “It ain’t over 'til it’s over.”
