By Roger the Scanner Guy
Funny I was going to write about the fireworks for today but everyone beat me to it. I was reading on the internet about the FireWorks because I have been hearing about it going on all over the country. Every year without fail before the 4th of July there are always fireworks going off, has been for beers and beers as long as old Roger has been around and even before when I was skinny. This year there were the protests, where fireworks were shot off all over the place and one might be blending into the other every now and again. What I read is that people are BORED, they are stuck at home unable to go to work and these fireworks are one of the results of that boredom that makes more sense to me. As I was speaking to one of my Sisters this morning, she told me a story about how she was looking for a bicycle to ride while she had to stay home to keep fit. Her kid took her to Target and Walmart there was NO BICYCLE to be found at either place because everyone else had the same idea. She was able to find a bicycle for FREE on Craigslist. Boredom makes sense, there are some places where fireworks are legal to buy and used them. I used to like blowing things up to when I was younger then one day I got attacked and almost murdered by a neighbor because it hurt his dogs ears. I did not know that, I never knew that. I never would have fired them off had I known that. All he had to do was explain that to me, not beat the HOLY HELL out of me to drive it up my YaZOO! Anyway, I have not done the firework thing for a long time because of animals and folks with PTSD. I usually talk to my neighbors around this time of year about it. I just want to know if they are going to light em off so I can make sure my fur baby is safe. They always think I’m going to call the police on them because I’m Roger Dodger but I don’t call the police on people very much unless they are doing something really bad. FireWorks usually go off all over town on or around the 4th of July and the police are busy with everything. I vote for BOREDOM there are other reasons too, Google Away you will see…HERE are YOUR SCANNER RONI REPORTS.

I was watching Karen videos on YouTube, an old white guy was trying to toss a young gal out of the swimming pool area because she wasn’t there with her parents. She was in her early 20’s and she told him, “I am a woman, not a child.” He says back, “C’mon don’t play the Woman Card now.” Some of us older white men are stupid.
On MONday I decided to take a break and walk up to Trader Joes since I had not been out of the house for a bit and had started to gain weight again, too much weight. I paced myself but on the way back started to sweat heavily. Going through the MILPAS UNDERPASS was a cool wind and with the sweating, I felt very strange. You get older you feel like shit going for a walk especially if you hadn’t done it in a while. When I got home I was pretty freaked about the sweat then read on Web Md that it could because I haven’t been moving around much for a while. My sister told me it could be my blood sugar too, after a while I felt better. I need to walk a bit again and not sit around so much.
