Vacation

The Prez and entourage are taking vacations again. And, depending upon whom you believe, this time the expense is $4 to $7 million. I knew Hawaii was expensive, but wow! When they have roasted pig, it must be a whole herd. Mai Tai cost must have gone up or they got a bunch of them. Maybe that could explain some of the decisions made in DC these days.

Obviously this grumpy old man does not understand how any vacation could cost even $4 million. I won’t spend that much in several lifetimes. Why can’t these people live like the rest of us?

First, you don’t have to go to Hawaii. Florida has sun, beaches and fancy hotels. So far as a roasted pig, I know a couple of good old boys that would cook up a herd of feral pigs for nothing. And, if one should want to imbibe, how about a long neck with a straw. You can get one of those koozies with a flowery picture for less than a buck. Travel cost don’t have to be a fortune. A crew cab pickup will haul five or six comfortably and you can put all your stuff in the back.

Why not stay at Motel 6? They say you get a clean comfortable room for the lowest possible price. They’ll keep a light on for you too.

Prez, you could do what the rest of us do.  Take a vacation and stay home.

Paint the house.
