Oy vey.

I have a routine. I go to the gym where I ride the stationary bike and lift weights. After I'm done I go to the sauna, swim a bit, and then relax in a lounge chair reading a book. A man asks me what I'm reading. I tell him I'm reading Bill Walton's autobiography. He says he doesn't know who Bill Walton is. I tell him he was a great basketball player. Out of the blue he tells me he likes Donald Trump. I really didn't answer him. He asks me if I like him. I'm not going to lie. i said no. He asks me if I liked Hillary. I said yes. He said he left Iran forty years ago. He then started dragging undocumented workers. I said most of them just want to work.

Just leave me alone...



P.S. BTW if you know anything about Bill Walton he's a leftie. He shares his dislike of Nixon and Reagan.

He interrupted you while you were reading. That in itself is usually enough of a message to leave you alone.

I hope he left and you were able to finish your routine in peace!

and attack someone.

Mr. Walton is still a delight to listen to calling a ball game. Be prepared for him to talk about anything even basketball.

I talk a good game about how much I despise Deplorables but I actually felt sorry for him for being so lost. To believe Trump is a great man and a patriot...
