Fun Time Friday

 - Laws are ambiguous.  Traffic speed laws for example. If you drive 83 in a 75 MPH zone, every police officer in the state will just leave you alone, so is the limit actually 75? In some areas police don’t even respond to retail thefts unless the value stolen *per thief* is $1500 or more…a female teacher was set loose with no jail time after being convicted of having sex with one of her current students…so it stands to reason that retailers are basically forced to give away items costing less and if accused has a ‘valid reason’ to commit crime they walk scot free. People who are caught and charged are set free without repercussions, so what was the point of apprehension, what was the point of having laws in the first place?

The point is to try and justify elected and appointed lawmakers, ensuring their healthy paychecks and benefits that come out of OUR pockets. Put another way we are being scammed at every turn

- I wonder if any one group of people control the GPS system. It would really upset the world if that group decided to monkey around with it, or just start charging a huge subscription fee.  Paper maps are essentially worthless as they are outdated before leaving the printers, but paper maps don’t tell who/whatever exactly where we are in real time, either.  

- Deb and I have gotten back to eating supper at the dining room table (instead of in room with TV), and just playing Scrabble or some such afterwards, instead of relying on the 500 channel idiot box. Life is so much better.

- How do telemarketers find people to work? How do scam callers get paid? Who on earth dreams of being a telemarketer as a child?  How low must your self esteem be to do that?

- The UN now has a new term for weather: climate breakdown.  How much do we spend on these dipshits again? (Answer…last full count, $12.5 billion) For the record, I’ll say outrageously stupid stuff for a mere $1 million and call it science.

- Is there a specific age or developmental state at which a stately elderly gentleman becomes an old geezer? Asking for a friend

- It’s not too early to start thinking about Christmas gifts…yeah, I know, don’t kill the messenger.

- US government pledges $520 million to Ukraine to rebuild a clearer and more resilient infrastructure.  In the meantime Maui residents have likely run out of their $700 ‘quit yer bitching’ stipend. Priorities 

- Told Deb I was going in the back to play with guitar toys.  She said she remember when I had 1 guitar, one amp, and 2 pedals…and hate to say it but she’s right. Life was so much simpler, no option anxiety. I really need to work on figuring out what I *need* vs what I *think I need*.  There just may be a big ol garage sale in the very near future

- So…Hunter Biden will be indicted on federal gun charges for fibbing on some paperwork.  Big friggin deal.  Seems to this guy indictments are no more than political revenge anymore.  Refer to above paragraph, then ask how was this in any way related to the safety of the American population. Short answer: it wasn’t…just another case of law being used as a political weapon. 

- California senate just passed a bill stating parents who do not affirm (whatever that is) their child’s gender choices have created an unsafe environment and are subject to having their children forcibly removed from their home and control. I recall the only time I was in an unsafe home environment is when I did something that resulted in an ass whooping from mom or dad…trust me there is a looooooooong list of those things.  Many of those things are I’m still apologizing  for.

- So Bill Gates spends a ton of money on Bud Light…this move is the beer equivalent of Windows Vista, I.E., stupid.
