This regular daily post is the place to joke and banish negative thoughts.

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.

Well, for example, the other day, Bev my wife and I went into town and visited a shop.  When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.

We went up to him and I said, ‘Come on, man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?’

He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him an arsehole. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn-out tires.

So Bev called him a shithead. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.

Then he started writing more tickets. This went on for about 20 minutes.

The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

Just then our bus arrived, and we got on it and went home. We weren’t too concerned about the vehicle’s owner because of the sticker on the back window  “I support the Greens”.

We try to have a little fun each day now that we’re retired. It’s important at our age.

Quick Hit: Now Is Not The Time

National’s fiscal plan offers no income tax cuts until the books are in surplus in 2028/29, only a “pathway to potential tax relief”. Nicola Willis still called National “the party of low tax”.

Neither Chris Gets to Decide

Winston Peters says Luxon and Hipkins will not decide this election and the media is still running it like first past the post. Two more Chris-on-Chris debates are booked. The kingmaker is the story nobody is billing.
