Take Two
I’ve always had a pessimistic view of the world. Hence my handle, Half Empty. It’s also the name of a political blog that I wrote while I was based in Texas a few years back. A few of Juanita Jean’s readers might even remember it. Anyway, she decided to increase her stable of contributors at the beauty salon, and I thought I’d help out. Heck, I can at least sweep the place out from time to time.
Living out here on the Left Coast, gives me an opportunity to share blue state news to warm the cockles of lefty hearts. Ironic, isn’t it? I was always one to expect the worst. And the news out here isn’t all that good either, but it beats the H-E-double hockey sticks out of what is news in a still red state in the deep red South.
So as The Former Guy said to a completely different audience, stand back and stand by. See you in a few.
Half Empty, welcome.
1Any friend of J.J.’s is a friend of mine.
Ditto number 1
2I’m usually the last one to show up with a welcome
3to a new neighbor. I am trying to do better. Welcome.
I think I’m going to like this!!
4As a Left (Best) Coast chica temporarily residing in a red state, I look forward to your future posts. It is definitely a different, and alien, world going from Blue to Red. As much as I will miss the friends & family (who are blue, stuck living in the land of red), and the fun of watching summer thunderstorms roll in (rain falling is an immense pleasure drought stricken state people never get tired of)-a larger part of me will be relieved & happy to be back surrounded by populations of much saner/accepting/mellow people again.
5Native Californian here, living in Texas for the last 26 years. Welcome to the beauty salon! The more, the merrier!
6I’m sure you’re the best half. Welcome! For me, I’d never call myself the better half, at least where my wife will see it. And she, too frequents the salon.
