You Damn Bullies, A Super Spreader Event, Helping Protect the Rights, Lights, and Benefits of our Children

“When someone calls you a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe because you happen to disagree with them about tax policy or same-sex marriage or abortion, that’s bullying. When someone slanders you because you happen to disagree with them about global warming or the government shutdown, that’s bullying. When someone labels you a bad human being because they disagree with you, they are bullying you. They are attacking your character without justification. That’s nasty. In fact, it makes them nasty.”

Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, or whenever you are finding this word soup.  How was your Thanksgiving?  We had an exciting day, more about that in a bit, but for now, a morning update?  My wife is sleeping, cousin is still in bed, Skeeter is out in the carriage house, and my pup has joined me downstairs, but she too is sleeping.  My morning cocktail is a mix of Death Wish coffee and Liquid Death water; it’s delicious.

We began our day, my wife, the head chef, cooking, and let me tell you, we had a spread.  I had made the pork the day before, and we had purchased sauces from a local sauce manufacturer.  We had about ten join us, no masks, no social distance; we hugged everyone that joined us—nothing like a super spreader event two days before your daughter’s wedding.

We started our conversation off about politics; the left was represented as was the right, the middle was here too, and it was an exciting exchange of ideas.  After that discussion, we moved on to religion, and that got a little spicey when my mother learned that not all in attendance identified as Christian.  Abortion was; subsequent, which got a little dicey when no one in attendance had ever had an abortion, which is statistically impossible.

We watched football, my future son-in-law and I bet on the games, I lost $20.00, but it gave me someone to root for.  I let him pick the team, and I took the points.  We had a euchre tournament, my daughter and I won, we’re pretty good, taking down my wife and father, they put up a good fight, but in the end, Team “Caranson” came out on top!

Our friends Rick and Saundra joined us after our meal.  Skeeter’s husband and Rick were friends; they had a lot to catch up on; my father wore his Wayne’s World hat all day.  My almond skin tone was noted, as was my big boy haircut.  It was a great day; I’m sure you had a wonderful day as well.

Tonight we have a rehearsal dinner for our kid’s wedding; we plan on taking it easy here; we are eating at the Rathskeller, German food is good for your soul, and I think I might enjoy a Zombie Dust or two.  I have one job tomorrow, which is to pick up the doughnuts from the Great American Doughnut company.  Cousin will help; 240 doughnuts will be in my possession; I’m not a fan of the doughnut, so I’m the perfect person for this job.  Cousin might taste a couple, but let’s keep that between us!

So Friday after Thanksgiving, how will you spend your time.  I’m going to enjoy some coffee, write this little daily narrative, and then start a new book on my Ipad.  I have no plans; I have one email that I will send out about our leadership meeting next Friday.  That is the only task on my list; I might have others once I review my email; I think it will be a light day due to the holidays.

Parker Van Halen is exhausted.  Her brother Griffy was here, and they played nonstop for hours; she will take it easy today in preparation for his next visit.  The two of them together wreck our courtyard, but it’s fun to watch.  Griffy is a GSP; Parker is a mix of 18 breeds, a match made in heaven.

I just checked Twitter, and a Muncie man was found guilty of rape, and his sentence was home detention.  Really?  You rape someone, and your sentence is to follow the rules of the pandemic?  Sure, you get a lovely new ankle bracelet but come on, where is the punishment?  Rape is a violation of human dignity; I think if you rape someone, they should be given a rusty pair of scissors.  Snip it, baby, snip it!

Also, on Twitter, Death Wish Coffee is having a 30% off sale. To learn more, visit:

Our guests killed our Liquid Death reserves, so I just ordered 4 cases on Amazon. So if you have not tasted Liquid Death water, please go to Amazon and get some right now!  Update, my wife is up; I got a bit of morning sugar. Also, Skeeter just came in from the carriage house.   PVHT is in love with Skeeter. 

I want to remind you it is Almond Friday; some use an offensive term to describe today; I think it is racist.  Most people want to view society in an A or B way; I like to think of community as a big box of Crayola.  We live in a prosperous society of ideas, thoughts, feelings, and love; get over yourself if you want to spew hate and lies.

I’ll end with a nice note I got from a friend’s wife.  She invited me to join a Facebook group protecting the rights of children.  She thanked me for my daily posts and thought I might add to or at least enjoy the group. So I joined and will do my part to stop child abuse from occurring all over the country.  Children should not be masking, nor should they be forced to take a jab in their arm. 

My wife has started making pup cups for our little lady.  A little banana, Greek yogurt, then freeze for a day, and boom, a delicious treat for our creature is ready to go!  We were buying them from our local dog bakery, and she said her most used line of all time, “I can make this!” and she did!  Well, thank you for taking some time and reading the worlds of this man of color, I’ll keep writing, and you keep reading, and together we can make this time of woke awake to the realities of humanity—facts over feelings folks, facts over feelings.
