WHY I LIKE DONALD J. TRUMP

I don't think Trump is beholden to anybody. I think he is his own man. I think he's rough on the edges. Trump is articulate and very worldly. I don't know if he drives a car or sleeps in a limousine. It is quite evident he is a family man.. three times over.

I think Trump is reasonably sincere. Trump has a voracious appetite for life. No previous presidential candidate has demonstrated such chutzpah. He is intrepid in most regards. He should be a wrestler. Maybe Jesse Ventura can help Donald Trump?

I think his kids are polished as is his wife. The Campaign is truly a Trump-style enterprise. He seems informed with appropriate numbers. Clearly he is building his team of experts. I think his heart is in winning in November. Can he do it?

We are too far away from the Finish Line. Too many things might happen. Trump has an immense position, identity and maybe a penchant for putting his foot in his mount. I sincerely enjoy writing about The Donald. As one old timer once said "We Shall See!"

 

 

TRUMP IS SOMETHING ELSE!

Donald J. Trump delights in being contrary! How he has gotten this far in life is beyond  me. I am not a fan of The Apprentice or the ART OF THE DEAL yet I have been following Trump since last August. The guy doesn't give up... neither does Mrs. Clinton. What gives?

Trump has done a good job alienating certain groups of people. Can he prevail? I have never followed such a Presidential Campaign that we are so involved now. Is it the omnipresent media? I stopped reading the New York Times newspaper. I have transformed my life to "no newsprint" as everything is available on my SmartPhone.

Somebody has wound up the "Trump Doll" and it appears it will this way until November 8th.

So what's new in your lives? For Trump it's self-adulation! "I'm not looking to be a history book' says the Man.

THE TRENCHANT HILLARY CLINTON and DONALD TRUMP

Trenchant is defined as incisive or keen, as language of a person; caustic, cutting vigorous, effective, energetic.... Well, I was going to cite Trump who can be trenchant but Hillary, too, has a fire in her belly!

A well modulated voice should be the goal of all public speakers not yelling and screaming.My new friend Professor Hamilton Gregory is author of a book on Public Speaking. At any age we should be seen AND heard. On Friday a lady said to me "You have the voice of an auctioneer!" Did I write this already? forgive me.

From Hillary to Trump the beat goes on. Both candidates are giving visceral stories of their lives. The truth is they are baring their souls hoping for residence at 1600 PA Avenue come January. We must recall JFK beating TrIcky Dickie by 120,000 votes. No Facebook or Twitter in 1960.

Trump accuses Hillary of shouting. Give me a break!

Follow the race on C-Span..no interruptions. I'm back in the saddle...

 

 

 

 

THE SOMETIMES ODIOUS REMARKS OF DONALD J. TRUMP

A review of Mr. Trump's acceptance speech in Cleveland on C-Span is compelling and convincing. I'm afraid if the competition wins it will be four more years of people so imbued in the corrupt system. Got to give Trump a chance. His business skills just can not be beat. Sure he can be rough on the edges. Show me one human being who is perfect?!

Speaking of near perfection, I have earned 10,171 points on Trip Advisor BobbyP009. Man am I good!87 Reviews, 14 Ratings, 43 Photos and 16 Helpful Hints. I have earned  the title of "Top Contributor! " I have written about so many of my life's experiences. Check me out.

And then there was a phone call this morning: "Hello, I'm calling about the" GOLD WANTED" sign out front. "Yea, do you want to buy it" I asked.?" LOL. This Sunday Morning presented 2 small 14k gold chains. I gave the man a $50 bill as an advance. The price of gold is up to $1,349.92 an ounce!

Our weather has changed. Rain and dismal conditions. Yet we need the rain badly. Chase is not around to mow my lawn.

Doing paperwork and paying some bills. Did I forget to pay Charter? Gotta check with my banker tomorrow.

 Bought all kinds of Dollar General dollar cards.

ROBERTO MAGNIFICO - WHAT MY FRIEND SAY ABOUT YOURS TRULY

"

"Happy Birthday, Roberto Magnifico!! You are the gift that keeps on giving. You are a walking advertisement for good health at late middle age. Thanks for the photos - a collection makes it impossible to classify you which is the beauty of you."

My college friend , brother, lawyer and buddy. "Indiana Bill!"

Isn't it wonderful to have such a friend a true Campus King which he was with TKE in 1964.

WILL THE REAL DONALD TRUMP SAY "I'M SORRY."

Like singer Benda Lee, Donald Trump's interpretation of I'm Sorry is different. I really don't feel anyone has got his number! The Late Ali was not necessarily faster. For being 69 with quasi blonde hair The Donald is truly like the Duracell bunny. The key question remains..Does Donald Trump have enough gas in his tank to make it to the Finish Line in November?

JFK was young... Reagan was the oldest. McGovern's campaign lived on Budweiser.  Admittedly I live on Kool-Aid! The media are like mosquitos just waiting to zap Trump! How much of this nonsense is the truth? Who next will criticize Trump? I see where Pence was dealt a blow from the rostrum.  What's next?

"Thick skin" they say. Politicians seem to have the thickest because they want the power. The 90 day mark to Election Day is around the corner. It's anybody's bet if you ask me. Some have detected a change in me. ALFRED E. NEWMAN for President!

WHAT.. ME WORRY?

SWIMMING AT AGE 74 NOT SWIMMING IN DEBT!

 Well, I'll tell you... finding a remedy for my weak knees  will be a good challenge. Dr. John recommended 3 aspirin a dat to curb the inflammation. He also recommended applying a "greenback poultice" which works. I smothered my knee with 13 crisp 100 dollar bills then I went to the pool...Josh and Heidi's SWIMMING POOL. It has been decades since I immersed my body in purity!

Madeline, Evelyn and Lily were please to see POPS in thee pool. Will he sink they queried. LOL. My turquoise bathing suit set the tone as son Josh stood by laughing casting wisecracks as he does. The cold water turned into being tepid. My buoyancy has legitimacy. Like a bar of IVORY I floated. Chase and Heidi were inside making a jigsaw puzzle.  This is what the Potvin family is all about!

If anything the concept of enterprise takes the cake. Heidi was busy painting woodwork as Chase-American found the last 20 pieces of a 500 piece puzzle. Madeline proudly brought her new dictionary outside. I quizzed Maddie "What word have you looked up? 'DICTIONARY' was her response!

Richard B. Johnson arrived on time 8:03 AM

 

 

 

 

 with his Rental. We did a quick take at both casinos and I had fried clams for he third time in 3 weeks. Richard took the low road and walked away with $230 cash. I won $23 enough to pay Chase to mow my brown turn tomorrow.

Bill Gross sent a complimentary birthday greeting from Vancouver, WA.

August will fall on the First this year. Ha Ha Ha. Enjoy Summer and don't fall behind on your behind.

BLOOMBERG VERSUS TRUMP

I don't like seeing  old men fight! Such is the case between Michael Bloomberg and Donald Trump. Both characters are filthy rich. I think they both lack having common sense! Name calling by geezers is absurd.

So where do we go from here? The conventions are history. While I thought Chelsea Clinton did a good job she has a has a "nervous giggle" in her speech delivery. Did you notice?

This presidential race is for people with deep pockets. The Fat Cats have surrounded the wagons. It will be The Rich and the Rest of Us! I heard some newsworthy comments that 57% of older people are storing up cash... and that's not Johnny!

Plastic has revolutionized our existences. Swiping is a disease of sorts. Cash on the barrelhead is good.Cash will always be KING! Small change is small potatoes. I don't hesitate to do the Harry Chapin..."keep the change." Sure I have a piggy bank.. actually I have two. So what.

Can you imagine the lives of Billionaires?  Cheap? Rockefeller gave out dimes..Trump put a $50 in a church basket. From what little I know about life the shysters play "Estate planning." Old Money " you know. Not for me. Eat, drink and get fatter. Travel before it's too late!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Australia Called Me Tonight!

 

Left or right?

I have in my possession 20 Potvin family albums of trips made just about  everywhere. Never did I employ a poverty mentality! I invested in travel and learning. Langevin once called me cheap in front of a crowd of 300 and I retorted by calling him a SOB and threw my auctioneer hat at him. The crowd laughed. Trump reminds me of old P.R. Langevin! Oh, by the way, I once borrowed Twenty Grand from Mr. Langevin at the height of the silver boom in 1980!

And the beat goes on. Fortunately my writing takes no effort and it is cerebral.

Out of ice cream and yes, it was a great birthday because of you, my mainstay!

OVER 50 WELLWISHERS ON 74TH!

Thanks from the bottom of my heart! I need you. I need you reading my writings wherever I may pop up! Just type in Bob Potvin  Blogger, EyeFetch.com BobbyP.. TripAdvisor.com bobbyp009. Wow!

SALEM CROSS INN REDUX

So it's my birthday and to eat in my kitchen would have been a mistake! My familiarity with the Salem Cross Inn goes back to 1961 when I turned 19. Lots of water over the Brooks Pond dam since then. Today I treated myself  to  meal fit for a king not Burger King!: a Salem Cross Farm Burger with all the fixings. Who could be so lucky to live two miles away?

As I was leaving SCI I shook the hand of a gentleman from Belchertown named "John'.. age 95. John's good neighbors had treated him royally. One of the lady's birthday was today like mine!

Kristen, a Springfield College student served me as waitress. From stem to stern the service was excellent. Senior hostess Beverly made my visit special. A blue and white trimmed big cupcake had only one candle. Hmmmm.

 Sister Jan was generous in her gift. I paid my insurance balance for my Pontiac Grand AM and have been blogging away with TripAdvisor. I'm pushing the 10,000 limit. Salem Cross has a big decal on their entry door. Now I must wait a month to write another review.

Salem Cross can be called at 508-867-2345 or www.salemcrossinn.com.

The Salem Cross Inn enterprise is formidable and I wish them luck!
