It’s always fun in this Blog business to have readers reply with a comment of some kind, even an unkind one, such as a temporary reader who calls himself Shofar and says this stuff is boring and the writer is whining, even though he can’t spell whining right.

I apologize for not recognizing the term Shofar, because it’s a word I don’t encounter often, although not a bad moniker if you want to remain incognito, as all commentators are on the Pal-Item blog system. I’m sure all other readers know that Shofar is a ram’s horn sounded in Biblical times as a signal in battle. In modern times, it is chiefly used at synagogue services on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.

There! Now, you know how informative this blog can be in raising your sum total of knowledge. Or something.

Which brings up the question as to why this blog is being written in the first place. One thing you probably already know is that it isn’t like other blogs. Not nearly as erudite as Bob Hertzog or as argumentative as most of the other old guys. Too bad. If you really want to know why it’s written, you can click in on my own web site (http://www.TheGraphicOnline.com) and go to the Archives section and bring up the very first one named “Introduction.” I can’t imagine anyone doing that, so I’ll just quote a couple of lines, such as it’s supposed to be “like a column I used to write every week called Here ‘N There,” and further, that “Let’s think of this as a conversation between friends. There will be plenty of space for light-hearted articles and comments, even trivial ones…” So now you know everything you didn’t want to know in the first place.

Enough already.

What I was going to talk about was how Things Are Going To Be Tough All Over in the next few months, including my experiences in the Great Depression, another topic you didn’t want to hear about. But you’ll have to wait, because this is already too long and there are more important issues right ahead, including the Great Day of Redemption and Change, beginning at 7:00 A.M. on Jan. 21.

Until then, Enjoy the next national holiday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Jan. 19.
