Weepy Sleepy Wednesday

 - Last week, Bloomberg magazine ran a feature stating Midland TX either can’t or won’t spend the money to improve local infrastructure.  The magazine’s take on our city was misleading at best, a hit job at worst.  Bloomberg is now on my ‘too full of horse muffins to bother reading’ list

- I confess that I’m the stickler to tradition as I once was. Humbucker pickups to play country chicken pick stuff, straw hats when the temps get high, irrespective of after Labor Day or not, etc. I also don’t feel guilty about violating norms. Close to 67, and anything outside of norms can now be seen as old man quirks.

- I guess thoughts of good wishes extending to King Charles and Queen Camilla of Great Britain. I don’t have a dog in that hunt, but still…good luck y’all.

- True racism exists everywhere now…it didn’t used to. True racism is holding people to differing standards than everyone else because of the accident of skin color. When you lower standards, you are actually inhibiting a person’s motivation to excel.  Want to be a non racist? Then hold everyone to the same standards 

- I swear the bugs flying around in west Texas are unique, in they can be soft squishy lil things until they hit my windshield. Then they become quick setting concrete with their ecto skeletons becoming rebar.  

- Re: mass murder in Allen TX…killer was an illegal, who had been deported several times before. Mexican, not a white supremest. In case you didn’t know, non whites cannot be Nazis: it’s against the very core of that brand.  And I’ll say it: if he hadn’t come back to break the law again, there would have been no mass shooter.  Blame this one on tragically piss poor, and deadly, border enforcement 

- Weird: Amazon has introduced its home security robot. Rolls around checking on unauthorized people, can notify you and law enforcement of violators, etc.  They don’t specify if the thing can be weaponized or not, but this gives me a serious case of the creeps.

- Last Friday night we were at an event in which people were dressed a whole lot nicer than the typical music event.  Several people complimented Deb on her dress…a dress she bought 7 years ago at Cracker Barrel for less than $18.00. One nice lady even went out of her way to say so.  Just proves that some people look stunning, regardless of the cost of their clothing.

- Headlines continue to be more and more ridiculous.  Seen in the past few days include: the feds told a Catholic hospital system in Oklahoma that they needed to extinguish the eternal flames in their chapels or they’d lose their Medicare/Medicaid funding…Robert F Kennedy Jr publicly  proclaiming hype JFK assassination was at the hands of the CIA…an Indiana couple adopting a Ukrainian special needs child went thru hell when they discovered the alleged 6 yr old was actually a violent adult, yet were charged with child endangerment even after the child was found to be a 22 yr old…$1.2 Million per person California reparations isn’t enough, the number must be $200 Million to be fair, even though that figure adds up to more money than there is in the entire human economic system….Donald Trump issued a gag order in yet another trial, while his opponents in upcoming election are allowed unfettered freedom to lie, cheat, finagle, everything 

- So…the mental midgets in the pentagon have renamed Ft Hood to Ft Cavasos.  I don’t care what you call it, it IS AND WILL BE Ft Hood, Texas. 

- Seen: I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met
