Welcome back to 50Talk. We ae glad you guys decided to join us this week after our two week hiatus. So much has been going on the past two weeks so Cathy and I are going to jump right into it. We have a lot of stuff to talk about.
So within the last two weeks I was able to put in for retirement and to actually sign my retirement papers all in that time frame. While we were out West with the help of some great technology I was able to sign those papers as well and make May 1st my 1st official day of retirement. It feels good to be retired and stress free from the job that I had. I'm going to work on getting my body healthy after these two back surgeries before I figure out what I want to do. I have a couple ideas in mind.
So, yes we went out west for a visit to Colorado to visit with family and to take in some sites. My Aunt Thelma had a surprise Birthday Party for my Uncle and it was the best. I seen family that I hadn't seen in over 8 years at least and some longer than that. It was great reconnecting with everyone over the week. Hopefully we can all be together again sooner than later.
Next, Cathy gets into 8 things for adjusting to being retired. That made me feel old actually thinking about staying on some type of routine when we have kind of had a routine for years already. Great advice though and thank you Cathy for the topic.
Cathy and I give another update to the Jackie Robinson story from I think January or February about the stealing of his statue in Wichita, Kansas. I really hope this guy get's sentence on Jackie Robinson Day in the MLB. That's karma...bitch!
The University of Alabama Birmingham is stealing body parts from dead prisoners and giving their bodies back to the families with stuff missing. This is similar to a story Cathy and I discussed earlier this year to. How a City in Mississippi was just burying dead prisoners if no one received their bodies after they died. The city would just bury them i unmarked graves. To some, black bodies just aren't as important as others.
Our main topic of the show this week is another Police killing of a black man in Canton, Ohio. Canton is about 30-40 minutes from us here in Elyria. Watching the police body camera video of this killing brought me back to the George Floyd killing and the emotions that I felt. I really think this Canton murder is worse. I'm so sick of this happening, when is it going to stop? When are the police going to listen when a black person says "they can't breathe", the police just expect you to stop resisting when they continuously repeat "stop resisting" and they aren't even resisting.
Cathy and I went to see Civil War a couple weeks ago and it is quit the rollercoaster of a movie. I had all kinds of emotions and feelings about it. I didn't hate it and I can't say that enjoyed it either but it is a must see movie. It just has so many messages coming from todays America.
There is a viral video out on the interwebs with a Black woman confronting white counter protesters at the Ole Miss University in Mississippi. It's very disturbing and it also lets me know that blatant racism still exists in this country. Don't be fooled!
Thanks for joining us this week. I'm gonna sit down for a minute and get this knee right and hope to be back on the road real soon. See y'all next week for Episode 106.
