It's no concern of mine and I really don't care one way or the other but as the media is presenting me with this narrative anyway I've decided that it's as true as Santa Claus and his magic sleigh pulled by Reindeer. Two “the right stuff” American heroes are,it's a frightening scenario,stuck up there in the blackness of space with no TV or post or new books from the library. And it's taking a long time for the Deliveroo driver to get there with that limp,tepid pizza order. But hold on. Ive seen a photo of that stalwart duo. One is a woman and one is a man. Their names are Sunny and Butch. They are both plain,plump and look like your average Mom or Pop. They look like your nice friendly neighbour. So what is this narrative REALLY about? The idea of anyone being imprisoned up there in space for months with no way back should be chilling and would have been a few decades ago but now no one seems bothered. I do wonder if the powers that be are a little concerned at the seeming apathetic indifference of us public to their narrative. To be blunt I do not believe that Sunny and Butch are up there in space. The logical practical implications really make such a thing impossible. They're probably at a secret location on Hawaii for a while. So in eight months time are they going to “return to earth” like true American heroes,smiling and fist pumping in indefatigable triumph. But WHY? this narrative? What's the point? It's so obviously fake and preposterous. They are going to come back via Space X in February.
But isn't Space X the province of Elon Musk and isn't it that he's not in with Kamachameleon and her crew. So maybe Sunny and Butch better keep their fingers crossed as to their rescue. (Sunny and Butch I ask you,it sounds like a pair of bulldogs!). Do the two in the sky do a daily blog now the tech is here,a daily report on the exciting reality of life in space. So,what are they up there for? To make the first real in space porno? No,I guess not. I guess to discount that evil idea is WHY they look middle aged and ordinary. To notionally raise the USA flag and “claim” that portion of space just like Captain Cook did for Britain when he stuck a Union Jack into the beach at Botany Bay. That's more credible. Time will tell.
Seems like all the maniacs are in charge of everything, does it not?
But the mention of bulldogs, does remind me of some of the best running buddies one could ever ask for. They each have a personality of their own, I’m sure you know. Most were mixed breed ‘strays’ that no one else wanted.
So I’ve picked up a few hitchhikers, and have enjoyed their company so very much, through the years. Almost at the jumping off point, I hesitate to get another, but if I do, I’m quite sure I’ll name them Sunny and Butch.
