Statue of Liberty

Brodie looks up to the Lady

Published on by Lucas Pam7 Comments

The Statue of Liberty arrived in New York City on June 17,1885, giving nationwide excitement to the USA after making her journey across the Atlantic. She was a gift from the French government.  Her dedication took place on October 28, 1886 and she has spread her light of freedom and liberty forever since for 130 years. She is our rock.  She symbolizes such goldenness…that is not a word..I know…but…it’s my way of saying how very special this Lady is to me.

During these challenging times, let’s remember her.

Brodie never misses an opportunity to share his golden thoughts

So what is the point at this point of the presidential election process…voting for the next president of the USA…voting for your member of the House of Representatives…voting for your state senator…

Well, this little guy Oblio with his dog Arrow have been around since 1971…watch and see how everyone and everything has had a point forever…so long ago…so many points that few listen!?!…the thems…theys…hes…the shes…especially if the point is not on their point.

Give yourself 10 sweet golden moments and get a another point going.  Lots of messages in this point.

Looking for "The Rainbow Bridge"
Looking for The Rainbow Bridge

How can this be…??  Let me explain the after life for dogs. (Our dear friends the cats, as well, all gods animals.) Once we have gone from our western world and culture…we jump over “The Rainbow Bridge.”  This is a super special place that waits ready for animals only.  All animals are welcomed…there is forever peace and happiness…no pain…no need for heart worm medicine…no medicine/vets period…no allergies…you can sleep wherever you want…no need for fences…you go wherever you want…lots of treats…tons of play toys and balls…incredible swimming…fetching & retrieving for all…training classes are available for those who choose to self-improve…no need for dog parks…it’s one big hang out spot…and all are friends and included. AND, thanks to Pope John Paul II…in 1990…he declared that “all dogs go to heaven” because they have a soul and god created us all.  So there you have it…we have dual citizenship…the bridge…and heaven.  Yeah…

Heavenly sky
Heavenly Sky

As far as donkeys and elephants voting after death…I’m not clear on this… research indicates that voter fraud exists... confusion…denial…antiquated systems…dishonesty…all wrap into millions of illegal votes cast.

The way I see it, all gods creatures can qualify for the right to vote…and because animals can jump over the rainbow AND live in heaven there is no stopping that action…Golden applause for dual citizenship.

Golden Brodie gives a Presidential Polls 101 for 2016

Brodie digs up the “Genie in the Polls” granting wishes

Published on by Lucas Pam1 Comment

Ok…I did my golden best to understand and research these presidential polls that many are obsessing over.   Admitting that I came away confused…yes I did and for solid reasons.  Confusing at best is the manner in which polling information comes together, then massaged, spun and refined and finally reported…shared.  I got into quartile, outliers (Yes, they are out there!), data, margin of error, subsets, median, data points, statistics, range, biased sampling, upper fence and lower fence (really…???…I thought I knew what a fence was…wrong!), margin of error, sampling collection, results…and on it goes.  Here’s the deal…there’s a genie in these numbers…working the numbers…every poll has its purpose…and can be handled in such as way as to produce the results wanted…key word…wanted results.  Some polls attempt to use protocols that present the results in a fair and unbiased way.  So…here’s your Golden Polling 101.  Not full proof…but consider doing your own digging…Start getting on top of these numbers…Go get it……
