Mundane Monday

 - I’ve received several spam calls lately…in Spanish. These people are nothing short of steaming piles of annoyance. Phone back to reject unknown callers, as I’ve just run out of patience.

- Of course, there is the time back in 2016 I had just come back from the doctor…he JUST told me my right kidney showed all the signs of cancer, and could be treated with either removal or some sort of chemotherapy but something had to be decided quickly to deter spreading.  I was setting on our couch, mad as hell, depressed, and frankly a bit scared, when a telemarketer called. I answered and within 5 seconds unleashed an assault with such vile and viciousness on the woman she probably quit her job, changed her name, became spiritually connected, and totally assumed a new identity. And I’ve got no problem with that

For those who don’t know, in Jan 2017 had the offending kidney removed with no further complications or signs of cancer, and for that I’m grateful 

- Search the obscure stations on streaming, and it’s pretty weird what you find.  Watched a movie the other day depicting a vampire civilization…ok, but the movie theme revolved around feeling pity for the lower class vampires. Seems not all of them are royalty and spend all night going “bleh…bleh…bleh…”

- The oddness of French bread.  Why is it cut at an angle? Why is French bread always served with Italian food? Why does French bread get stale so fast? And…I’d be very disappointed if French bread wasn’t invented by a guy named Franc.

- The American CDC has now warned people to not kiss turtles. Your tax dollars, folks

- Speaking of patent absurdity, the Dept of Energy is trying to limit the size motors in ceiling fans.  As stupid as this sounds, what’s vomit inducing is the never ending onslaught of the American standard of living from people we don’t know, never heard of, and have never been elected nor held accountable for one damn solitary thing.

No one knows how much we’ve actually saved in severe water restrictions, severe electric and gas restrictions, etc. there are *very* loose estimates only, and these are dubious at best. So, will these restrictions become prosecutable crimes if ignored?  And who will enforce them?  Will a lettered agency’s SWAT bust down my door at 5AM because I yanked the idiotic restriction valve out of my shower, or have my ceiling fan spinning faster than allowed by law?

And more importantly, will the same level of enforcement/prosecution take place at John Kerry’s place, any of Leo deCaprio’s yachts, any of the Obama mansions?

Oh, yeah…Friday the USDA recommended no more than 2 alcoholic drinks per week. This will go over really well

- Read a *very* good question the other day, pertaining to donations to Biden/democrat fundraising: why should anyone give them money when they just continue to arrest their political opponents? It’s gotta be cheaper, especially since taxpayers are paying for it

- I honestly did not know tumbleweeds originated in the US until ca 1870, when seeds for these dang things arrived in South Dakota in a flax shipment from Russia.
