Unbelievable Monday

 - A magazine called New Scientist is suggesting humans consider cannibalism as a means of ending world hunger. The article also says perhaps we’ve got such an aversion is because of colonialism views that cannibals were typically black, and it’s a form of racism. To this, I say: eat me

- There’s a thing going around called RSV…some sort of respiratory virus affecting over 65s (check), smokers (check), and various conditions (check.)  About 20 min after the shot started feeling like absolute chit, pretty much floating on air and indecisive whether to be hot or cold. Next day woke up much better, but halfway thru mowing the front lawn started feeling like I did yesterday. Y’all might think of getting it but if you do plan for at least 2 days of lightheaded ness, dizzy, alternating hot and cold, and Jimmy Carter  level malaise. 

- Out and about the other day, a brand new vehicle pulled up at the stop light next to me.  Deb asks ‘what is that?’ and I told her that was the new line of Ford Broncos.  Without missing a beat she then asked ‘where’s the rest of it?’  That’s my girl.

- If your politics relies on calling people racist, sexist, or homo/transphobic…you are a moron. You’ve contributed NOTHING to our national milieu but have gained attention, which gets you on talk shows.  

- Disgruntled means unhappy…gruntled means happy. Yet Miscreant and creant have vastly differing meanings. Now you know 

- I’m not a republican…I’m DAMN sure not a democrat…I don’t even fall into the category of independent.  I make my choices based on the person, not the party, and never ever because endorsement, crowd influence, advertisements, or any other such easily manipulated stuff.  Before they went absolutely insane, I voted democrat as much as republican.

- Administration is imposing 500 or so sanctions against Russia in reaction to some political prisoner dying, likely at Kremlin’s insistence. My take: so what? Dang near every government on earth does things to its citizens that someone else deems morally wrong, but, it’s their government not ours. We’ve got far too much crime and corruption inside The Beltway to worry about some other guys on the opposite side of our planet. Let’s clean up our own yard before getting the vapors over some other guy.  The adage good fences make good neighbors has never been more true

- The things being focused on are merely (as recently seen) low hanging fruit, instead of actual issues that affect the safety, security, and literally the continuation of our nation and our species.  Instead of eliminating gas stoves, how about working to recreate equal justice? Instead of giving away OUR money to illegal aliens who break the law, how about using that money to protect our own citizens? Instead of paying pensions to people creating the problem for 50 years, we start actually fixing what they broke?

- Those ‘threatening’ to leave the country when Trump is re-elected: don’t wait, do it now. We damn sure won’t miss you, and this move gives you the opportunity to prove you aren’t just a bloviating drama Queen.
