Key West Lou / DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION LEFT YOU FEELING CLEAN

The Democratic Convention left you feeling clean, the Republican one dirty. Can’t express it any simpler.

An outstanding Democratic Convention. Deeply rooted in family. All American.

As for Kamal Harris personally, she looked and sounded Presidential last night. She’s got it!

To show the difference between Harris and Trump, while Harris was speaking Trump was on social media. His three major blasts: “Where is Hunter Biden?…..Walz was an assistant coach, not a coach…..Crime is up all over the U.S.”

Harris spelled out clearly who she was: “I am you.” She was us. She then proceeded to destroy Trump. Followed by…..”We can do better!”

She left everyone charged up with…..”Let’s go out and win this one!”

Sharpton brought the Bible into play…..”There is joy in the morning!”

The battle now moves forward. In the trenches to be fought every day for the next 2 1/2 months.

Exceptionally well received last night were Elizabeth Warren and the Central Park Five. Long standing ovations. Warren cried at the reception given her. The Conventioneers cried for the Central Park Five.

A side observation re Trump. We all know he thinks he knows everything. The newest issue…..Who is a good Jew? He knows who is and who is not. Not for the Jewish community to decide, nor the Jewish religion hierarchy, not anyone but himself. What an ass!

Trump claims he is the best friend Israel ever had.

The man is sick! Demented! Continues to fabricate the truth!

Louis DeJoy is Postmaster General. He was appointed by Donald Trump. He is as good a Postmaster as Trump is in identifying who is a good Jew.

A strange position. Politically protected. A Postmaster General cannot be fired by a President. Only the Post Office’s Board of Governors can do it.

DeJoy has proven incompetent for the position. Democrats and Republicans alike want to see him removed. The Board for whatever reason continues protecting him.

DeJoy is a major screw up. Biden tried several times to remove him and failed. Hopefully, Kamala Harris will be more successful.

DeJoy recently announced a new postal plan that will go into effect after the election. It will intentionally slow down deliveries. DeJoy claims it is a money problem.

The man is a disaster!

When I began practicing law in 1960, it cost 4 cents to mail a letter. Today either 64 cents or 73 cents, depending on the process used. I quickly found out back then as my practice grew that stamps were costly and burdened my cash flow. Still does apparently. Fortunately, many businesses today use email and the internet to communicate. Cheaper in the long run.

The new coronavirus vaccines are now approved. The new vaccines by Pfizer and Moderna  are tailored for the  KP.2 variant. It is expected to be available within a week.

Buffett time! His musical career from 1973 forward.

It was 1973.  Buffett signed a recording contract with ABC/Dunhill Records. After Jim Croce died in a plane crash in September 1973, Dunhill promoted Buffett as his replacement.

Soon Buffett’s first release on ABC/Dunhill Records was A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean. The album featured the hit single “Grapefruit – Juicy Fruit” and “Why Why Don’t We Get Drunk,” as well as “I Have Found Me a Home” written about his experiences in Key West.

Buffett used the money he made from the album to buy his first boat.

In late 1973 and early 1974, Buffett recorded Living and Dying in 3/4 Time. It included “Come Monday” which he wrote for his girl friend soon to be his wife. “Come Monday” was Buffett’s first single to play on Billboard Hot 100.

Another late 1974 album was A1A which involved “A Pirate Looks at Forty” about a drug smuggler.

In1975, Buffett found the Coral Reef Band. He credits his future wife for cleaning up their looks, replacing their ripped Levi jeans and collarless shirts. The band was the opening act for the Eagles in August 1975.

We pick up more tunes by Buffett tomorrow, together with some additional successes.

Enjoy your day!
