This is the morning report from Mayberry by the sea.....the word went out around the world that the sun had risen above the center of the universe,,,,the crossroads of Station 181/2 and Middle Street...it rose over the island of Mayberry by the sea and painted the tin roofs silver and the ocean golden....with brushstrokes of pure sunlight...sunlight that filled the dunes and marshes with light......sunlight that spilled through the matchstick blinds in the studio making window patterns on the floor that moved......and the word got out that perhaps the greatest breakfast ever made was about to be consumed by the wild haired artist known as the Mayor of Mayberry by the sea......painter...writer....bad poet......decorator......rebel without a clue.....Aquarian.....and all around good guy that likes to make people laugh....including himself because he is known to crack his own ass up........he looked down at the plate before him.......2 scrambled eggs....two eggs over easy.....4 pieces of thick sliced crispy applewood smoked bacon.....two pieces of toated Italian 9 grain bread......a pat of butter...a dollup of peach preserves....another dollup of cherry preserves......and a side bowl of fresh fruilt with a vanilla yogurt.......a glass of peach tea and a cup of coffee............INCIDENT WHEN I GIGGLED UNCONTRLLABLY THIS MORNING..............it was like the morning before and the one before that......a mild winter day where there is need to turn a fan on to keep the studio from getting too warm inside....the doors are open and the sounds of morning are all around...beautiful bird music........He sat down and started eating his breakfast......he turns on the TV to hear the pundits comment of the State Of The Union Speech last night......he watched it and was impressed with what the President was saying and the facts backed up much of what was said.......this president is no lame duck.....this president has got swagger and intelligence and the kill joy side of the congress listening to him looked constipated and sick wondering why this man who they all said would ruin the country is kicking their asses once again...running circles around them...getting things done for the many and not the few....for the hardest working people in this country........and the approval margin during the speech by both democrats and republicans listening stayed at around 80% approval......the rebuttals that followed barle hovered above 30% approval....why?...because the President makes sense and the facts back him up......so this morning I had just washed down some toast with a sip of peach tea and then started contorting and shaking......something I heard before the montage of pundit quotes that turned out to be bogus and completely without merit........a spokesperson for Romney said that conservative advocate Laura Ingram and Romney met at his Ski Chalet to discuss common sense solutions for the middle class and the 47% of Americans they called moochers and freeloaders during the last election he got beat in...had you ever had Coca Cola come through your nose when you start to laugh uncontrollably......that stinging burning feeling as it enters each nostrul....well....peach ice tea has the same effect............I hear they discussed it on his private jet......in the limo...on the elevator going to the second floor.....and on the deck that overlooked the splendid mountains....that most could only dream of seeing one day........it struck me as hilarious...and then the montage of quotes by the pundits had me pairing them with nicknames and linking them to images of disasters in our history.......for instance.....the quotes by Gov. Christie who I call the Blimp and Rush Limbaugh who I call Pumpkin head had me seeing the Hindenburg crashing.....the quotes by Rand Paul who I call Howdy Doody...had him in an 1950 cowboy outfit getting stampeded by a herd of Buffalo.....The Quotes by Ted Cruise.....who I like to call the Lost member of the Addams family...had me visioning a mob of villagers chasing him with lit torches in a black and white movie back to his cave......and the words from Joni Ernst...the newest republican to crash and burn doing the rebuttal to the State of the union Speech along with Marc Rubio and Governor Bobby Jindal....when I heard her rebuttal I saw an image of the Titanic hitting the iceberg........I finished and turned on the fan.....and stood in the open door of the studio......4 black hawk helicopters fly by.......an old vintage plane moments later......the sound of my bird clock along with the morning concert of redbirds and chickadees......mockingbirds and doves.....filled me with the promise of a good day and the hope of a great year ahead.......
