A HECTIC TRIP TO BOSTON

I conserve my energies when I  travel to Beantown. Early to bed and after the commuter traffic is at bay, I head for the Back Bay. I refuse to be intimidated cy circumstances. Ass I tell my friends "I drive as if I were a Uber hacker and roll with the punches. My spit stop is on the Mass Pike in Natick, then I travel, pay my toll and fasten my seat belt. Driving in Boston traffic isn't for sissies. I don't get sweaty palms.

One bottleneck is at the Cambridge exit. The homeless men have cans and I always donate a dollar. A beautiful black Volvo hardtop convertible went by me and I yelled "Nice car mister! How much?" "Fifty Grand" and he yelled back and it is a convertible, too!"

Mass General is down Storrow Drive and is a piece of cake to experience. The Parking Garage is a paltry ten dollars. Then I refilled my Omeprazole for the last time. The receptionist is from Scituate and gave me First Class attention in getting me on a "chair" to the 9th Floor. Would  you believe hails from ST. LOUIS?! It's a small world. Carlota and I made friends immediately as St. Louis, MO, is where went from being a boy to being a young man. I savor my memories of my college days ( and nights) in Mid-Town Saint Louis. Thanks for the lift Carlota!

Then it was to my friend  SANAE, receptionist for Dr. G. I try to make friends wherever I travel. Mass General is no exception. Earlier I had a slice of Eat Street mushroom pizza adna Coke. Curiosity killed the cat when I observed Lindsey maneuvering two SmartPhones with her sandwich. Lindsey is a friendly  Transitional Care Nurse from Norwell. I know where that is!www.nvna.org. Sitting next to Lindsey was an 88 year old lady and mother of 9. Nothing more for me to say! I love it.

Everybody has a story as did this man in line at the MGH Pharmacy who hails from Trinidad! OMG.. I've been everywhere...and People like my pink trousers. I like panache in my clothing and appearance. Also the Librarian Computer lady printed a Wikipedia thing on TravelAdvisor. Thanks.

And so it went.. 130+ miles. Absolutely no one has ever heard of West Brookfield, Worcester County, near Sturbridge  LOL.

Despite my pain in my knee and other skeletal locations "

'I Feel good."

Get ready for the Olympics.

IS TRUMP HEADING FOR more TROUBLE?

Donald Trump thrives on innuendo. Is he polished or crude? Is he a chameleon? Man it seems "trouble" is his middle name. I'll leave it up to you!

CHEAP, CHEAP PETROL $1.799 a gallon!

Gasoline spreads 30 cents a gallon in Western Worcester County! From $2.099 to $1.799 it is great news for motorists (and new car dealers

. Sturbridge (formerly Jack's seems to be the lowest. Last week I observed $2.479 down the Upper Cape!

MY VERIZON FAMILY IN STURBRIDGE

The good folks at Verizon-Sturbridge make Old Bob's SmartPhone needs easy. I have a spiffy new phone for NADA. My new helper, Scott W. spent the better part of an hour transferring and tweaking my new phone as  Jillian-Baby Girl sang. The kid knows here RockRoll.

I can tell when millennials have my interest at heart. We radiate our emotions... friendly, passive or crabbed. I saw a geezer today riding a bicycle. I was ignored.. cantankerous! No more business from yours truly!

Speaking of families, here's a poem I want to share with you:

OUR FAMILY

"Our family is a circle of love and strength. With every birth and  every union, the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every crisis faced together makes the circle stronger."

I bought this framed and matted print at Salvation Army, Spencer, today for a song!

My TripAdvisor Bobby P009 is blossoming BIG TIME. I don't know what's going on with blogger.com? Time to jump ships?

Thanks again Verizon Gang. "I love you!"

2016 PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN LIKE NO OTHER!

In the campaign of 1992 I made an astute observation while covering the candidates in New Hampshire. Candidate Bill Clinton flooded New Hampshire with his copies telling of his Hope, AR, story..on VHS tapes!. Clinton's crew found a new fangled way of getting his message out. Fast-forward to 2016 there's an overkill of everything. First there was an mp3. Then satellite projections and digital cameras when everything else. The SmartPhones and selfies win the prize!

I am so imbued in technology my 65inch television is used for the alternative. Today at Walmart I saw a 60" television for $678! Why don't you grab one in time for the Olympics from Rio? TIME Magazine Cover today reveals a stunning picture  of Simone Biles.  With a BIG Screen TV you benefit form great colors. I have had my Toshiba for 3 years and love it. I just go to the alternative and cap Junk TV. There's just no argument.

HDTV is great. My first 40 inch Samsung cost me $1600 way back when. Some folks have multiple tvs and multiple boxes. Regardless of my complaining about Charter and the costs today's televisions are the finest and Walmart is competitive as is WITCO.

What's it going to be like in 20 years? I'm told our living room wall will be one big screen like the Star Theater once was.. the silver screen. YOU

WHY I DON'T LIKE DONALD TRUMP

Mr. Trump thrives on controversy. Not a day goes by without some type of snide remarks or innuendo. Clearly Mr. Trump has learned how to pick a good fight.... but will this strategy get him the keys to Pennsylvania Avenue?

I made a purchase today.. a dragon! Not puff but a Nuance Dragon.. naturally speaking. Speech recognition software at Staples.. Sturbridge.. Last night I came across a Journal I wrote on my trip to Australia in 1998. This is a wonderful narrative worth getting down so I can share it with you. My raconteur qualities show very well in this hand-written baby.

Now I must find a Genius to get me connected. I know my Australian Buddy dictated a whole book on Dragon a few years ago.

I traded some unwanted gold jewelry today. A pleasing thing for a Monday. The weather rots and will, perhaps, for 2 weeks. What are we going to do?

My bills are paid and I have some ready cash. I must be careful as money and I depart at the drop of a pin. How about you? Blog traffic is down today but my spirits remain in tact. I must make an emergency trip for some ice cream. Spent about $20 of my Walmart Gift Card earlier..

Watch out for John McCain!
