Hello October 11th, 2025, here in Westborough this am it is overcast and 50 degrees. As usuaul Westborough, Ma. is a quiet lil town, with many people roaming round, but few say hello, don’t you know. We rush to and fro, and off to more stores we go. We run home to change and dress and try to look our best, yet no one says hello. It;sa quiet burg so to say, you can run from store to store everyday. You can run from one bar or tavern to another, and never worry about any bother. Every now and then, politics come up, and people get angry it seems to me. We have the Maga folks, The Democrats and the Independents too. it like living in a rough neighborhood, and leanring what not to say in school. So you avoid politics and you try to make conversation with those you meet, most of the time it ends with a nod of your head and an utter defeat.
I love life, I love laughter, I love having something to do an dthe chatter. I love interacting and having fun, but, in Westborough thats not the way it’s done. I don’t drink, although I have tried taverns and bars, all bullshit aside. I have popped into JP’s, Red Heat,Cold Harbor, and Central House at different times. Even The NeighborHood tavern around the corner from me, which has a great sandwhich I love. What I have observed is most people don’t interact with people they don’t know, and they basically hang with only folks they know. Now, I understand, staying safe, staying with friends, but you can never expand that, if you don’t let others in. It’sa veryc autious atmosphere in Westborough, people tend to walk right by, and not say a thing.
I love walking trails and resevoirs, I like bowling and playing pool with friends myself. But, by doing the sam ethings repeptitvely, we isolate ourselves and we don’t even see. Age is another factor I see, while the youth have fun and the middle age to 55 hang on, and have families, there are senior citizen who have nobody and no way to find anyone either, like me. You can laugh, you can joke, but, in the end, you are alone and you know it. People seem closed off, or distant, or fearful of strangers, or just saying hello. I know, for myself I may talk to many, but, it is like asurface brushing, and no touching, feeling, I get. I know I have said it before, so, us Seniors 55 and up, end up alone, when our partners die or divorce us. In my case i lost my wife of 28 years, when she passed due to Breast cancer. I find myself, looking, but never touching since, her passing. It’s like a little child at a candy store window, who is afraid to say I want that one, becaus ethey know they can’t afford it, or will get rejected and told to move on. we hesitate, we procrasiant, we smile and do nothing and walk away. It’s all a part of a Seniors day. I have seen many women, I admire you see, yet I say nothing, for fear they will reject me. We get older we get set in our ways, so, it leads to be alone is all I will say.
Anyway, as life goes on, I hope America has learned a lesson now on the Political Level. We will suffer now, due to the way the voting went last time around. Prices, rise, on food, utilities, gas, clothing, housing and more. people are getting laid off, and having trouble finding jobs now. The economy is now in the dumps. Sadly, it wil hit all of us period, at some point, we all will hurt and that sucks. medicare, medicaid, social Security, Veteran’s Benefits and more all under attack these days. I hear men searching for work, but none to be found, no one is hiring you see. They can’t afford to, they have to stay afloat themselves and their companies. It’s a brutal, circle of how do I stay a float, keep my business going and feed and take care of my own family, without losing it all. So they, cut back, they lay off, they don’t hire anymore. people don’t spend, if they don’t have it folks, so places are closing down. Jobs are disappearing and more homeless and unemployed are growing. It produces a atmosphere of desperation for many, how do I keep my home, how do I feed and dress my family, what happens if one of us gets sick or hurt? So cautiousness, comes out, and fear and thats where america is at these days, you see.
Well, I rattle, I roar, and I talk and chatter. I know in the end most of what i say, doesn’t matter. No one listens to one voice in the woods, when all the noise of the world is so loud and bold you see. we who care, or wonder, or look for solutions, get overshouted and drowned out. So, we do what we can by making some noise and we try, but, in the end, the world flies by. It’s all a mess these days you see, is there a way to fix it, or must we let it be?
Screaming doesn’t help, yelling either,nor does violence, or being a cheater. In the end, the truth is this, too many Americans choose this. And as Americans know the majority wins in each election, and once you make the choice, they are in office and you lose your voice. So we are stuck now, until at least the mid-terms, and maybe till 2028, as we now have learned. The Senate an dthe House cowtow, to the man who won, he helpe dthem get their jobs and now it is done. They earn apaycheck even if they don’t work, so they don’t care if you or I hurt. If your going to shut down the Government, then you shouldn’t be paid either, if you ask me. why are we paying Senators and Representatives, to sit home and not do their jobs? Lets stop this, lets not pay them, till they return to work. Lets, hit there medical and dental benefits like they are hitting ours. It’s time to take the fight to where it belongs, to the politicians who led us on. americans need to stand up and fight back, or we shall all lose, we are under attack.
