VARIOUS AND SUNDRY THOUGHTS BEFORE THE FALL
It’s been a couple of months since we absorbed the remnants of Coast Motor News into our Coast Motorcade section of this publication and it seems to be working well for our handful of automotive and related advertisers. We won’t get them all, of course; more than 100 physical car lots of every size and description fill the four county area where Penny Plus is distributed. And many have already forgotten what print can accomplish. Our readers…you guys….are more likely to actually buy a product from our pages as opposed to those hundreds who surf the electric ocean, many of them dreamers by nature and economics. Yes, much of the exposure is free but the prospects with their exclusive opposable thumbs are not the same buyers who filled the lots with tire kicking and in-person negotiation skills and automotive knowledge and enthusiasm. Those skills and attributes are slowly dying in so many areas. People are just downright lazy and self-absorbed to the point that they think everything should come to them with little or no effort on their part. Much of the unrest in recent months and years stems from this lack of discipline and sense of reality. The grownups are becoming a scarce breed as the “basement babies” of entitlement continue to demand unrealistic results based mostly on someone else’s efforts. Fortunately, the Deep South has been able to channel Mama and ‘dem enough times to keep it real and just about everyone down here, regardless of race, religion, national origin and even SEC loyalties get along with each other. We’re a friendly bunch; we like each other and respect people’s place and opinions. The weather is just now starting to show some compassion for those who do not worship the hot and humid and soon the 3:00-5:00 PM human crawfish boil will be gone as we enter what I’ve called the “Brrrr” months….SeptemBrrr, OctoBrrr, NovemBrrr and DecemBrrr. The best weather month of the year is October as hurricanes, humidity, bugs and screwy daylight and darkness hours seem to go away, at least for a little while. We all should be attending football games now but the COVID-19 era has kept us all playing Musical Chairs with each other and preparing us all for careers in either bank robbery or as a fast food drive-thru order taker (“you want fries with that?”) I, for one, consider understanding these young people speaking through some of the crappiest speaker systems in the world one of the big positives in a less than positive time. I would hate to be a lipstick manufacturer today and one of the tragedies of this six months has been the almost eradication of one of the world’s most beautiful flowers…..two lips. Seen two lips lately in public? New courses in facial recognition will have to include the skill set of only comprehending the eyes and bridge of the nose as clues to whom you are speaking. We could continue on with politics, as you might guess, but just about anything and everything that can be said, thought or performed as been accomplished and November 3rd can’t get finished fast enough. Armageddon won’t come November 4th regardless of the outcome but we better start maturing and cooling off sooner than later before the next plebiscite in two years or rage will take over completely. I really don’t know how I’m going to fill all of my Saturday afternoons and evenings with limited football. Two large decking projects will keep me busy during October and November as my 2002-era construction is beginning to age and product to replace it is so much better than using treated lumber. I built these decks virtually by myself; I’ll need help 18 years later because I have a few extra miles on me these days. But I love to do these projects and once the frustration and irritation is replaced by a sense of accomplishment, things are all right with the world again. I just hope that things will be all right on our planet and in this marvelous country this time next year. -0-
