Tweeking the Time Turner
11/10/2017 10:00 pmThis has been a strange time of late. There is always the present moment but the past looms larger than ever.
At the beginning of the year this Scrooge Serpent dusted off some old 2006 calendars and diaries to give them a new lease of life. Most of 2006 was rather mundane but September and October were the occasion for a grand European adventure. So since the calendar year is the same, been busy revisiting memories and quite surprised at how much is still there some 17 years on without needing any external prompts other than the day and date itself.
Wednesday 11th October 2006 I spent in the gorgeous town of Groningen in Holland. It is a university town and the inner circle of the city is pedestrian and bike only.
Then there is October from last year. Some of that would be best forgotten especially the infamous Access Hollywood tapes followed by a very bizarre press conference on the morning of the second US presidential debate on Sunday 9th October.
The Donald and minions had resurrected some women who dropped a few Bill Clinton bombshells.
I remember thinking that’s what you call Going Nuclear. If that’s how dirty Donald gets in his efforts to deflect from his own perversions and distract his rival, then he will do whatever it takes to destroy her.
Even the fact that Hillary had done her homework for the debates and he had not, could be turned into some accusation that she was cheating or taking drugs or whatever while he snorted and sniffed his cocaine addled brain off. (Of course the cocaine thing is pure serpent speculation but he certainly behaved as if he were taking some mind altering substance)
