Other Uses
Posted By : Fred Klein

You could say this piece is about recycling (which is a good Green thing), but I prefer to think of it as a the start of a primer of stuff which is intended for a specific purpose and has other worthy uses. My list is as follows: 1) Newspaper bags which serve as poop bags 2) Paper napkins which clean eye glasses 3) Plastic credit cards which unloc

The Not So Endless Summer
Posted By : Fred Klein

I once blogged about "Summertime Summertime Sum Sum Summertime" (a great song by The Jamies).  Summertime is to be celebrated, enjoyed and endless.  Well, today is the first day of Fall or Autumn.  Both the words Fall and Autumn are not good and that's just how I feel.  How did September and the not so endless days of Summer slip by so very quickly

Waiting For Irma
Posted By : Fred Klein

You may know that we have had a house in Paradise (Key West) for 20 years and some have even rented it.  It is a small house on a nice street with many neighborly people.  Cayce dubbed it the Klein Cottage and may have been our last visitor.  I am writing this last Sunday morning as Irma is making land fall in Paradise as a Category 4 hurricane wit

Most Interesting Man
Posted By : Fred Klein

I have been mistaken or compared to the Dos Equis beer former pitchman-Most Interesting Man in the World and I have often cracked "I'm his stunt double". Draw your own conclusion from the above Photo.  Two weeks ago Debbie Lindner informed me that The Man was appearing at nearby Bottle Buys and urged me to go and meet him.  In preparation I googled

Inspiring Quotes
Posted By : Fred Klein

When I come upon an interesting statement I often write it down for inspiration and/or recycling. For example, Mae West said "Too much of a good thing can be wonderful". Dylan said "Take what you've gathered from coincidence". The Marine Corps has an adage that "Pain is weakness leaving the body". Claire Cook said "If plan A doesn't work, the alpha

Moment of Truth
Posted By : Fred Klein

Do the names David Bailey and Crystal Griner resonate for you?  They really really should.  They are the heroic U.S. Capital Police officers who last week, in a true moment of truth, ran into the fire, right into the guns and bullets and probably saved innumerable congressional lives.  A heroic man and woman did not hesitate and saved the day.  In

Schlepper
Posted By : Fred Klein

All my life I've thought about being a schlepper.   Schlepper?  It is a Yiddish word meaning someone so stupid or ill educated that he or she can only be employed to carry (schlep) things.  Really. To be precise, for my whole life I have wanted to be a schlepper for a famous artist and now my dream has come true as I schlepped my wife Joanne Klein'

Mika and Rachel
Posted By : Fred Klein

Make of it what you must, but my favorite news fonts are Mika Brzezinski and Rachel Maddow, MSNBC political pundits.  Mika in the morning with her partner Morning Joe Scarborough and Rachel at 9:00 at night.  Yes they are Liberal, but they make sense to me in these extraordinary times.  Mika seems to speak directly to Trump through the camera and R

Landline Phone Number
Posted By : Fred Klein

When I was in high school our telephone number was 516 621 3525.   Before that there were operators and a party line (which I must admit I listened in on).   When my parents moved I managed to have my boyhood number transferred to my home.   Today in this iPhone era we still have 2 landlines. 3525 is for Tradition and our Fax.  Before you pass judg
