Funny Friday

Another week has flown into history. I am happy to see Friday’s shining face. A lot of work got done this week, and I’m looking forward to the weekend. Last weekend saw the demise of my old lawnmower. I have had it since 2001, and it has serviced me adequately all these years. Last week it stalled, and when I pulled the starter rope, the engine came off the platform. I guess the metal just couldn’t stand the strain of coastal living. So I bid a fond farewell to an old workhorse. I did buy a new one and can bet it won’t last sixteen years. Today’s JohnKu is about wearing out. I hope you like it. (It may not be just machines)

One day working fine,

Next day a major breakdown . . .

No way to predict.

TGIF

Another Friday has been bestowed upon us. I think it came just in time. This last week was hectic and it didn’t help to start it off with a Presidential debate. Someone said the debates are like two divorcing parents fighting over the custody of us and all we want to do is go live with grandma. That pretty much wraps it up. The good news is the bickering will be over by November 8th and then the fun of living under one of the incompetents will begin.

It would be nice to be able to ignore government but since we have allowed the Gov to step into every aspect of our lives that won’t be possible. Air , water, income, health, food, and safety have all been assigned to the Gov to handle. Those we elect to represent us no longer do that well which causes thinking folks to wonder why they are still representing us? We can only hang on and hope for the best. My JohnKu puts a positive spin on the situation. I hope you can laugh and have a wonderful weekend.

They argue and fight,

Finally one gets the nod. . .

There’s no difference.

This week has been a big worry for our friends on the East Coast. Here is wishing all God’s speed as you deal with Hurricane Matthew. Today’s JohnKu is for you.

Mother Nature speaks,

Bringing about high challenge. . .

All pray for safety.

Please be safe and leave when it is time.

Friday John Ku – AKA – TGIF – Need a Name for a Write-In for President

I Need to have a name of a write-in for President.

Well, as we all know another week is in the history books. This one was notable in that the first Presidential debate took place and I have decided to write in a WordPress blogger as my choice. I just don’t know who that should be. If you have any suggestions, I am open. It has to be someone who will love the job and be honest enough to serve. I can’t think of one politician who qualifies on both counts so why not a blogger?

Let me know in the comments section. Here is the JohnKu on the subject.

The two started out,

Talking heads, no real message. . .

Need an honest name.

Have a great weekend.

TGIF

For those of you who have been keeping track, this is Friday. it should be the beginning of the last work day of the week for those in the Americas. The rest of the world has already completed the day and may even be looking at the close of Saturday (Aw).

I hope your week was good. I know mine was busy, and I think it will be good to relax and enjoy the weekend. We are expecting a little rain so it might be a good time to grab a book and rest the brain.

Today’s JohnKu talks about the need for rest.

Racing all the time,

Can jeopardize your good heath. . .

Take a hint and rest.

Happy weekend all. Cheers *clinking of the margarita glass* (Only metaphorically speaking, of course.)

It’s Friday again and time to look back on the week. It has been a good one except for the stock market concerns over the lower price of oil. I can never figure that one out. A lower price of oil means lower cost of manufacturing and travel. A lower cost of manufacturing and travel means more income. More income means more discretionary spending. More discretionary spending means better profits. Better profits mean a healthy economy. OH, I GET IT NOW! The street is worried about rising interest rates. So yeah, let’s sell off all our stock because we are worried about a .25% increase in interest rates. Investing in the market should be called gambling on the market. Today’s JohnKu talks to a gamble and the market.

Take your earned money,

Throw it hard against the wall. . .

Yours to keep has stuck.

Friday As you can tell, I’m in the middle of launching Our Justice. This has been a busy week and seems like it just started. This is the reoccurring idea of time flying when you are having fun. Today’s JohnKu talks about things we enjoy.

A job that seems tough,

No longer produces pain. . .

When we enjoy it.

Friday.

This has been quite a week. We received over five inches of rain on Tuesday which was a blessing. The tropical storm Hermine took a right turn and is heading to the Southeast. I have to hope those folks in the Southeast are spared any hardships. Reports of heavy rain and the fact that the storm might become a hurricane before landfall make this hope dim. Today’s JohnKu talks about how ordinary things seem until they change.

The sun shines on us,

Never need question it’s there. . .

Till the dark descends.

Another work week has flown by quickly. At least I hope it has flown by for you. I can’t explain it but this week has been the fastest. A lot to do in the time available. That always makes the time fly by so fast. Today’s JohnKu talks about the valuable commodity of time.

A deadline is set,

The time until then goes fast. . .

Wishing there was more.

We finally got a little rain early this week. Not enough to offset the two months of dryness, but as they say, “Every bit helps.” The nice thing is we are expecting a little more next Monday so maybe in combination we will be okay.

The last two days have been back to their old high humidity and high heat index selves. I guess everyone talks about the weather and today’s JohnKu is no exception. I hope you like it.

Some days blazing sun,

Others unending rainstorms. . .

Never satisfied.
