Another Paul Harvey?

Today I thought I’d like to work up another entry for the blog. Guess I’ll start out by going to Textmaker, my current msword-like document creator, something that was available for purchase at my local megastore, Walmart. Which I quickly purchased, it being quite economical, as opposed, that is, to the rentals our previous great word processing programs are going to in order to suck as much money as possible out of the pockets of their users. I do hope this company can resist that temptation. If they don’t, I just guess I’ll have to look around some more.

For now, though, this program works fine: Now, for that Blog.  I’ve been writing blog articles for quite a few years, now, and I guess what I need to do more of is to come up with a way to find ideas for the blog that I can use for a source of popular topics that would draw people to read my writing. Paul Harvey used to come up with some pretty good ideas, and he put out a column for many years that I used to enjoy--before the internet he was on television and before that on the radio, and boy did he have us all hooked, listening till he finished up with, “and now you have ‘the rest of the story!’ ” One of the greatest of all time broadcasters.

So how, you say, is our “Mister Wannabe” going to attempt to join the ranks of a “Paul Harvey?” Damn Good Question.

 Such a good question that I am going to put off providing my answer for a few days. In the mean time, I am hopeful that a few of you readers might give me a bit of a literary push by providing the answer you would give if the question were posed to you.

How do you think a “Steve Geddes” should go about attempting to join the ranks of a "Paul Harvey?"

Well...?

Corona virus issue 1

I am titling this "Corona virus issue 1" since it discusses who just might be "hurting" the most.  Good luck to all. This thing is bigger than our politicians' capabilities to even try to respond. The problem I see developing is with politicians closing this and regulating that, the little people are suffering even more than they deserve. They are the ones who have the least ability to react to this dangerous time, and they are the ones who are suffering the most with loss of jobs, loss of the ability to pay their rent, to buy food, to do anything. The lowest rung of our society is the one being hurt the most. They need help to just survive. Who will help!!!! And HOW !!!! PLEASE, EVERYONE, ADDRESS THIS MOST REAL NEED !!!!  

That being said, what can be done?  Help me with this, if you can, by writing your newspapers, your politicians, your churches, your everyone who might be able to help in the least!  Do this, and do this today.  

The poor do not deserve to be turned out into the streets, do they?  They do not deserve an enforced diet of whatever, perhaps dandelion because it is edible and growing well these days, but dandelion what--root, leaves, with what kind of dressing?  Why dandelion?  Because they may be found growing at the side of the road, and the price may be all that our lower rung may be able to pay.  

And what if someone in this bottom rung actually catches a cold?  First thing will be to go to an emergency room for treatment, and hope they do not catch Covid-19 in the process, right?  

We all have problems because of this virus but, unless we are in that lowest rung, our problems are minor--until we, ourselves, catch the virus.  Then what is for us--whatever we have to look forward to at that point in time, what would be our situation if we were on that lowest rung of our county's financial society.  

If the hospitals are full, and we have nowhere to go, what will be our fate?  Sick, hungry, out in the weather?  Is that what anyone deserves?  Am I wrong here?  Who will take them in?
