"A Thought to Ponder"


Well here we go again.  We got a big election year down here in Nankipooh, and the whole state as well.  The money is pouring in from all over the country, as everybody, every where wants a say in what's going on in the Peach State.  I can tell you one thing, it ain't "Peachy"!  Why you could feed every starving person in the world for a couple of months on what they are spending to call the shots in this state.


Now I only got one question. "How can a man who claims to be a preacher, want to be a politician so bad that he will spend millions trying to destroy the reputation and character of the man he is trying to beat?"  It sure don't sound like "turning the other cheek", and as a matter of fact, it don't sound very Christian at all!


"Now, that's just the way I see it, and you can tell'em I said so."

​"All God's Children"

​There is no Black or White, not in terms of skin color, nor in terms of Right and Wrong, or Good or Bad when it refers to the Human Race, Instead our world is a mixture of color, sometimes Pink, sometime Brown, and often, swirls of Grey. To paint the world any other way is a dis-service and an injustice to all of mankind, and, You can tell-em I said so!

"Life in a Small Town"

"Life Today in a Small Town"

I used to live in the city, in fact I lived in the city for nearly fifty years.  It was great!  Lots of good restaurants, with new ones opening up all the time.  Big League Sports, it seemed like there was a big game to go to all of the time.  Theater, Concerts, Museums, there was always a choice for things to do.  And then it happened, the city got bigger and bigger, and it took longer to go places, and cost more and more money.  Around this time my wife and I retired. and we decided to move to a smaller town.

So what's it like living in a small town?  The town we now live in is seventy five miles from the city, and the population is only about ten thousand, heck, there are only about twenty five thousand people in the whole county!  We do have a lot of growth, since there is a new Holiday Inn Express coming to town, and a Longhorn Steakhouse is going to open up near the Home Depot.

Below are a few things I have noticed since moving here five years ago.

1. My property taxes are about one third what they were in the city.
2. The water bill is about 20% of the one from the city.
3. A traffic jam means more than ten cars have backed up at the light on the US Highway.
4. I run into people from my church almost every time I go to the supermarket or the drugstore.
5. I live in a subdivision with about sixty houses, and just about everyone waves when they pass my house.
6. I know the county sheriff by his first name (he goes to my church)
7. I have found that I enjoy listening to the local high school's basketball games on my radio. (last year they won the state championship in their division}
8. The big league baseball team looks the same on the TV here, as it did in the city.
9. It took me five minutes to get my driver's license renewed at the Dept. of Motor Vehicles
10. A quick trip across town is about eight minutes.

And, in case you did not know, We got the best Catfish Restaurant within 200 miles of the city!

REPARATIONS

"REPARATIONS"

 
I have been hearing a lot about Reparations, and I have decided that I am definitely for it.  After all, my name is Biggers, and we know that everyone with the names Biggers, Bigger, Biggars, or Biggar originally came from the town of Biggar in Scotland, which up until 1649, was inhabited by Serfs (Slaves) belonging to the King of England.  My ancestors first left there in 1513, during the rein of King Henry VII, and we all know what a "Pip" he was!  So there is just no telling how great and wealthy my family might have become, if they had not started out as slaves to those pesky English.  So I am requesting that Queen Liz make fair Reparations available to me and all of the rest of us former Serfs.  

Since the first Biggers arrived in America in the 1600's, then anybody who ever worked for them as a slave should be able to get some money too, as soon as we get ours from Liz.

"Now that's the way I see it, and you can tell'em I said so!"
