DAVID'S PLACE:

  George Perry Floyd Jr.   (October 14, 1973 – May 25, 2020) was an   African American   man   killed during an arrest   after a store clerk alleged he had passed a counterfeit $20 bill in   Minneapolis .   Derek Chauvin , one of four police officers who arrived on the scene, knelt on Floyd's neck and back for 9 minutes and 29 seconds. [2]   After his death,   protests   against   police brutality , especially towards Black people, quickly spread across the United States and internationally. Floyd grew up in  Houston , playing  football  and  basketball  throughout high school and college. He was a  hip hop  artist and served as a mentor in his religious community.

  Do I have bad breath, a communicable disease, or am I just too stupid to get a following? I cannot. I just can't find one.  After 10 years and hundreds of fiction, non-fiction stories, sacastic, and serious liberal political commentary and true life experiences I never get any followers. Also, I still do not know and will never know how to configure this site so I can attract readers. I still type with two fingers if that tells you anything. I do not know hardly anything about blog development. I flunked geometry 3 times in high school. However, if you are an addictive soul and are a compulsive gambler, womanizer, love to play pickleball and golf I am your guy.  I am 72, retired and single. I love my big family who lives all over the country and I love my little doggie who happily lives with me. Would someone look at my useless blog and give me some advice? I really think I am a great but undiscovered writer. Thanks. David

There ought to be a law against people who go to a Starbucks bathroom, flush the toilet, turn on the hand blower, and then do not immediately open the door and leave. It’s so rude to Starbucks bathroom users who stand outside the toilet door listening to the hand dryer thinking they will be able to relieve themselves when the blower goes silent. Just the other day I stopped at a new Starbucks which is in the center of Chicago. I had a fierce urge to take urinate. My old seventy one year old bladder was bursting.   I entered and looked at the single bathroom door and there was no one waiting to go in. Relief, I felt happy for a second. Then, I turned the handle of the door and it was locked. “Crap,” I mumbled quietly. I started swaying nervously waiting to hear the toilet flush. It did. Than, the hand blower started blasting away. The sure sign that the person inside was ready to exit. Thank goodness, I thought. Relief was a few seconds away. I then heard the blower turn o...
