Regardless of how old any of us are, there is a hard shelled Dude name Jonathan that makes us all look like infants.

Johnny as his close friends call him, was hatched in 1832 – if my  rotaluclac is working properly, that makes Johnny the Tortoise 184 years old.

Just think if Johnny was a human being what magnificent and some not so spectacular changes he could have observed in that time period.

For instance, in 1832 the mode of transportation for many people was riding around on their ass  town – the more fortunate had a horse.  TV – video games – computers – cars  – space ships – refrigerator – stove – air conditioning – hippies – flower children – the infamous PC-ers – insane politicians – phony hooters, butts, cheek implants, face lifts – motor cycles – interstate highways – super markets – cell phones w/cameras; the list is endless; they would have thought, what the hell is all of this and  would probably have thought all of them were  demonic tools.  They would have been partially correct.

Wasn’t only a couple hundred years before that when they were burning witches at the stake.

Andrew Jackson was the president in 1832. Can we even imagine what he would have thought about today’s State if the Union – the deplorable conditions in the USA – the chaos in congress where their approval rating is 18% – clown show that is being put on by the people running for the Big Seat? That list is also endless.

I bet Andy, that is what his close friends called him,  never even heard the word trillion let alone $20,000,000,000,000,  the amount the USA is in hock for.

He would be astonished that today  approximately a whopping 73% people disapprove of the way the country is being run.  What a disgrace.  What would happen if these same indiviuals worked in the private sector??? That ass they are riding on would be kicked out the door in a microsecond.

It is probably a good thing  for Johnathon that he is a turtle and he can just withdraw into his mobile domicile when the going gets rough and shut down the world around him. That is probably why he has lived an astonishing 183 years. No stress.

Getting back to that 73% thing. If that number is accurate, why would Bill’s wife popularity be as it is when she has publicly admitted that she espouses directly to her ex-boss’s way of doing business.  Keep in mind, it all depends on the way the wind is blowing that day when she makes a statement. Like the weather; no two days are alike.

Johnathon pal; come out of you shell and kick up your webbed feet for being the oldest creature on this planet and celebrate the fact that you are not human.  It is not all what it is hyped up to be!!!

Gotta have a hard shell to survive this insanity.

Happy Birthday Dude
