Disaster Week

How about a hug..........e bottle of wine Antoinette? 

That's right people, in the immortal words of Captain Brody to Quint, "you're gonna need a bigger bottle"...or something to that effect! There are a lot of reasons to be drinking this week, because if the week ahead had a special airing on the Discovery Channel it could rightfully be called "Disaster Week!" Of course what we're talking about here are the two certain disasters we all will face...Death 💀and Taxes✋! Now hopefully death comes to you and all of us in a manner of our personal choosing like doing one of three things you don't have to be good at to enjoy 🏌️‍♂️🎣💋 and in a non painful way. Leave death by bad dragon's breath🐉, White Walkers🧟‍♂️, green fire and Valerian steel🗡 to those that deserve it... and I think we know who they are!🤔 That kind of pain should be left to G.O.T. types, terrorists, certain politicians, tax collectors, and weather forecasters who routinely manage to reverse 100%and 0% weather predictions. 

Now far be it from me to question the veracity of these scientists who probably get their science from the weather app on their phone☎️, but geez!☀️⛈ And enough of the grandiloquent homilies from the climate sect who believe in climate change like it's a religion🙏...it's not! In fact it's less reliable than futures investing on the stock market📉. Nor is it important 😉 that they are heavily invested in government subsidized unworkable green energy "solutions"🌬 that are too "green" to fail💵. The fact is the earth cools, and the earth warms and will do so no matter what we do. It does this annually and epochally and to bet on the reliability of above said weathermen, remarkably dimwitted millennials #AOC🤡, and the Nostradumbass who "invented" 🤖the internet as "scientific fact" would make Vegas🎰 a great deal of money. I will give you a prediction that you can take to the bank🏦...in the future the earth will warm🏜, and in the future the earth will cool☃️...if you don't believe me just watch the scientists on Game of Thrones and be mindful of which side of the equator you're standing on as to the timing🌎! Ok now that we've staved off that disaster, fill your glass with something strong🍸 and preferably served bottomless... tops are optional!👙😉 A lot of disastrous things have happened to us over the course of this week in history that would make you turn to the bottle...🦈duunnn dunnn... duuuunnnn duun... duuunnnnnnnn dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnn dunnnn...🦈the great San Francisco earthquake and fire🔥, the largest volcanic explosion ever in Indonesia in 1815🌋, horrible tornado outbreaks🌪, the sinking of the Titanic🚢, the movie they made about the sinking of the Titanic📽, Galveston explosion💣, Waco wackos whacked, Lincoln assassinated, Lenin kicks off his murderous spree and the communist blight of the 20th c⚰, Bernie felt the Bern for the first time when he visited Leningrad, Moscow and other socialist paradises...usually described by the inhabitants as Hell. The Khmer Rouge tries their hand at communism, terror and genocide. Suicide bombings at the American embassy in Beirut, Boston Marathon, and OKC💣💥. The first blood was spilled in the Civil War, a high school and college suffered massacres and a Prince died🕺.😥 Now all this may be normal if you live in Westeros, but we here in West Falls Church and the similar 🇺🇸 like things a little more even keel and with less mayhem. But wait... it gets worse! 😯Today is also tax day...the day Big Brother in his infinite wisdom makes sure that you've paid what big bro decides you owe of your property for what's generally described as the "public welfare."  Of course they know what's best to do with your hard earned property, are widely regarded as the best money managers, never use the money in a wasteful or fraudulent way, and have no interest in increasing or consolidating power. After all, have you ever heard of that happening before? What are the odds?😖 Yo, like a hundred percent yo!😬 Well as long as they use it to make sure winter is coming! Wait, what?🥶 #greennewdeal. Now all this might sound like a reason to drink🍷 and drink heavily🍺 to drown your sorrows, lessen the pain, or just because it tastes good🍹. However, I prefer to turn it around. I'm a glass half full kind of guy, and I tend to look at all those bad things...disasters, mayhem, the dart board of weather predictions, thankfully unseen disaster movies about disasters that last longer than the disaster and myriad other tragedies as a reason to lift the glass in a toast.🥂 We are survivors. We face all this with resolve, steadfast determination, courage, a fifth🍾, and the optimism that if we just keep trying tomorrow will be better. The Night King and White Walkers won't be able to handle the heat, Cersei will move to L.A. and fit right in and they'll add a new letter to LGBTQXPALIDOCIOUS so the Unsullied won't feel left out... just without!🙈🙉🙊 So drink up. Count your blessings and be thankful for each day above ground. Welcome to my world where everyone is a Princess or a Prince and when it Rains it's Purple like my Dukes!

I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple rain
