"55" Revision of a police state

   Officer shot himself," The headlines of today will be the movies of tomorrow", Jeff Lutz is a sick person who for whatever reasons subjected us to being put in the search perimeter and is now facing charges of  felony false report.  Janis Ian will soon be 55 like myself, who quietly hit doubles 5's with my wife and 2 younger sons in Florida.  I'm currently enjoying a glass of blueberry wine in the solitude of my safe home.  I was cancelled twice today for jobs in Lansing, a first that kept me safely  here free of a police state.   They are tearing down the old Fisher Body plant, which before my time was Durant and the final assembly plant of Oldsmobile.  My father 4/6/08 and grandpa worked for Oldsmobile after coming to Lansing from Glasgow Scotland. My brothers Frank and Jim worked skilled trades there as well as myself for 32.5 years.  Times change and GM is on the brink of either being a has been or moving into the new competitive future that may leave it's retirees in an uncertain and less comfortable days of future passed.  The wine has now mellowed me into a state of ignorance is bliss, so love peace and happiness is my closing.
