Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine ( the warming notion for even the coldest of hearts)
This Post was to have made sense! This Post was to have been a simple, direct, concise and convincing exposition of the Wakefield Doctrine aka the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers. This Post was to have gotten us ‘back on track’ in our efforts to attract more and more Readers to this blog and in doing that raise the visibility of the Doctrine in the patchwork field of self-improvement systems and ways for people to develop their strengths and eliminate their weaknesses.
This Post was to have been all of that. But then Claire Peek, being the warm and positive-thinking clark that she is, wished me a a ‘vender Mod Sommer‘…. or something. Despite her employing a non-English language, after only a few minutes (39- 57 minutes to be précis ) I realized that today was the Last Day of Summer! What the hell!! How did we get here so fast??! You know, it’s kinda interesting, the things that we know simply because we have the Wakefield Doctrine!
For example, nearly all scotts are afflicted with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). The value of the Doctrine is this: you just stumbled on this blog, you have read enough to be able to identify the three types, you read this far and it comes like a flashbulb in Damascus, ” My wife gets extra bipolar as soon as Thanksgiving is over! Could it be that we should take a trip to the Keys, like this clark fellow did??”
Yes, yes you should.
But back to my depressing morning….the day the Summer died (again!)
extra-strength clarks will have no trouble with the concept of Summer ending today with the onset of Winter to follow (by implication) but then again, clarks spend their days in the Future, running from the Past. So who can blame them? (..what do you mean we are at 300 words and have to stop?! damn that “Mel” and his trend-setting!)
So all you attractive people take off extra clothing today…you un-attractive ones can put on the now-vacant clothing you find lying on the floor and enjoy the ‘Mod Sommar Huskar Nova Kainer’ Day! (I need to go get the snow blower tuned up!)
About clarkscottroger
My God. Do these people have no fall season? Are they leafless? No lying in giant piles of maple leaves until one works out one’s internal issues? No frolicking?
Apparently, though, they have Snow Bunnies. This may very well suffice in lieu of maple leaves. Does one lie in a pile of Snow Bunnies until one’s internal issues are resolved? Are they assigned individually? Are they unionized?
“…a pile of Snow Bunnies??!!”
(visual: the (male) clarks venturing onto the beach with ice cube trays (full, of course) taped to the sides of their heads, wingtip shoes and, for reasons totally un-explainable, big mittens on!)
It may be the beginning of winter, but thank God, there are many long HOT days ahead…
Father’s Day weekend is typically the first warm weekend of the season, and the heat lasts a few days past the summer solstice, then colder weather sets in again. (Snow, on the 4th of July? I’ve seen it several times.) So, some years, it really does feel like winter has begun again. Of course, it is after that we get at least 45 frost free days!!!!
…that is the saving grace, the doggie days of Summer
Here in New England we have “HEAT WAVES”! (…keep your pets in the refrigerator, hose off the elderly and carry ice trays).
How about out there in the big square states?
Prairie Fires?? Tornados? Flash Floods? Locusts?
Damn it…read the memo wrong. I’ve been hosing down the pets, and keeping the elderly in the refrigerator. No wonder they’re so cranky.
That depends on the part of the state… Here in the mountains, a heat wave is 90 degrees. On the plains, 110 is not unusual.
@RCoyne, it must be your refrigerator. Get a walk in one, and they’ll thank you.
LOL. Studio apartment with AC included!
