OK. I’m just going to buckle down to let y’all know that this is going to be a complete “stream of thought” blog entry because it’s late and I got nuthin’. Yeah, the Cavaliers just beat the Warriors.

Man, oh man Folks were trying to change the subject today! I have had an ongoing “conversation/argument/d*ck-measuring competition” with some guy from my hometown of Salina, Kansas on social media.

Somedays I find myself wondering “How many wheels are there on this bus?”. It might be a shorter list of people that didn’t have undeclared contact with the Russians prior to Trump being sworn in. Right now I’m listening to a recap of Sean Spicer’s daily press conference regarding Trump’s overseas trip, where he may …
