• I'M A BIRD!

  I can't believe I have forgotten to mention this, but it was determined a couple of months ago that I would be taking a road trip with my friend Danel and another lady we used to work with. We are leaving on May 8 and heading west and where we end up, nobody quite knows. We do know that we will be stopping in Iowa so that Danel can visit some friends and also she wants to see Mt. Rushmore. But, we are pretty wide open after that, although we are supposed to get together to talk about the trip. Personally, I like to keep things wide open and not really make any plans, that way we are free to be spontaneous and do whatever pops up. Now I've already been to Mt. Rushmore twice, the first time in May of 1983 on the only vacation my mom ever took us on. My oldest sister was graduating college in Wyoming and we stopped at Rushmore on the way. The second time was in June 1999 shortly after Jt got back from Australia. He said he wanted to go to "the place with the presidents heads" and with that, we were off. Even though I have been there twice, I'm more than happy to go again as I'm never one to pass up a road trip. Oh, and see Wal Drug (those of you who have been that way know what Wal Drug is).

  This lady at work gave me a book to read called Legacy of Secrets. The book is about 3 dudes who got whacked back in the 1960s. You probably never heard of any of them, but I will tell you anyway and then let you learn more about these 3. One was a guy by the name of John F Kennedy, although most people called him JEFKA (that is supposed to be the pronunciation of the 3 letters JFK all put together. Although its not really funny, I'm going to ask you.........no, I'm going to tell you to be mildly amused by it). One of the other dudes was his brother, Jamie Kennedy. Wait, I think I got that wrong. Let me look at the book again. Ahhhh,haaaaa, it says here that Jamie Kennedy is a comedic actor. The guy I meant to say was Robert F Kennedy. And the third guy was not actually a guy but instead a holiday, Martin Luther King Jr. Turns out the holiday got whacked back in '68. Oh, shit, I got that wrong too, the book says that he was an actual person.

  What is the book about you ask? Well, why the hell are you asking me so damn soon, as I'm only 10 pages into this nearly 800 page book. All I can say is that the cover has the 3 dudes along with the subtitle The Long Shadow Of The JFK Assassination above them and the words Robert Kennedy, National Security, the Mafia and the Assassination of  Martin Luther King. I will give you one guess as to what the book is about.

  If you guessed that it was about the time that they all took turns gang banging Marilyn Monroe, then you guessed wrong and are a complete and utter perverted dumbass. Its actually about the time when they took turns with Jackie Kennedy.

  Ok, so that was probably tasteless and classless to make those jokes about these 3 great men. You might have figured it out by now that it is about their murders and the cover ups that followed. Now I'm not a big conspiracy theorist, but the book seems very interesting and the information is based on interviews with associates of the Kennedys along with, and here is what gives it the aura of legitimacy, back by thousands of files at the National Archives. So, I thought I would give it a read.

  As for the title of this post, it has nothing to do with the post itself, but instead is kinda like a song title that is not mentioned in the song at all.
