You are right. It doesn’t seem like it should be September already. September is here and it hasn’t been 100 degrees during this entire 5 days! How much better could it be? Obviously, September and the cool temperatures, has nothing to do with the title of this less than informative editorial.
As I sit here enjoying a cup of coffee along with a bagel with some cream cheese on it, I am thinking about the ham burgers we had for supper last evening. These Hamburgers were exceptionally good! When I learned that we were having them for supper I offered a suggestion that we could have Blue Cheese on the burgers. My present spouse enjoys blue cheese on hamburgers also, so I was assured we would have Blue Cheese Burgers.
I was informed that being on a fixed income and the fact that my spouse of 49 years hasn’t been picking up the aluminum cans of late, we would not have buns for the burgers. In truth, I enjoyed that Blue Cheese burger on a plate without a bun more that I would have if it had a bun. My first wife informed me that she had added some extra spices to these burgers. The combination of seasoning and Blue Cheese was delicious!
Ham Burger / Hamburger:
Why are these food items referred to as Hamburgers? I would assume they do not put any Ham in the burger meat so why name it Hamburger. After several days, I mean minutes of researching the origin of the name “Hamburger”, I have learned it was named after the town in which it had first been created. The town name was Hamburg, it was located in Mexico. Who knew, Hamburgers came from Mexico.
As I sit here considering life, it occurred to me that my world no longer has Public phones, and no phone booths. I wonder how many young people have never been inside a phone booth, or even seen a phone booth. I guess it isn’t a big loss now that we all carry our own phones with us.
Of those few people who still have a home phone, how many have a phone that is wired into the wall? Yesterday, my spouse of many years had to get up from her chair, walk into the kitchen and pick up the phone that is mounted on the wall, as she had received a call, and the battery powered phone that is usually by her chair, was not there. She knew the call was for her as all calls show up on the TV screen.
The phone that is connected to the wall might be used annually, or less. We forget it is there. This phone has one of those long curly wires that stretches. She was able to go back to the chair and sit down for the conversation. Then she had to get up from her comfortable chair, and return the phone to the wall mount in the kitchen.
Does anyone remember the old phone cords that were fairly short, straight and would get tangled up? The well to due people had those longer phone cords, so they could take the phone from one room to another. I remember the rich kids that lived down the road from us, they had two phones in their house, one on the main level and one in the basement, rich people have it good!
Do you remember how heavy those ole phones were, they were almost indestructible.
I started this editorial talking about food created in Hamburg Mexico, and ended up being happy that someone invented the cell phones. If the socialists Democrats get into office, will we all get free and equal cell phones? What brand of phone do you think the socialist’s government will give us?
I tried to get an Obama phone several years ago, but if you tell the truth like, “I have an income other than welfare”, you can’t have one!
I need a cup of coffee, I can’t write any longer.
Are cell phones a blessing or curse, yes they are!
