These are awful times, and I had a crummy day. The days are so short. Dark by 4:30. I turn in about now 7 or 8pm….wake at 3 or 4am rinse repeat. ‘Was out today. Post office to pay bills…while I still can. Passed the library. Still closed for duration. I ran into the security guy stationed in front.
The whole 'Hood knows him now. We all pass say hi socially distance chat. We yacked about stuff the election the weird weather, and what they’re doing inside the library. The whole crew still comes to work…good union. The place is being worked on…cleaned painted expanded nice stuff.
Anyway I wished him well, and wandered on. Life goes on even now even here. I went shopping for essentials plus ice cream. That’s the whole point of this post. I got that Oatly stuff. Ice cream made from oats…??? 100% Vegan so they sez. What will they think of next.
It tastes like ice cream with a vague doughy feel. It’ll have to do. I had a little. I pasted some on crackers like peanut butter…not bad.
'Was so tempted to suck up the whole pint in one go. Like in the old days. You been there. Pint of vanilla almond while surfing or watching TV. Almost got two pints…but ya know. In the interests of not blowing my blood sugar to hell I restrained myself. Anyway I feel slightly better. Thank gawd for ice cream…even the weird kind.
Btw thanks for voting…you saved the country.
I wonder if Biden is going to be any better than the "Orange Clown". If he is putting people like Rahm Emanuel in his government then we're fucked again! Antony Blinken and John Kerry are also total assholes and hypocrites. The names change, but the game stays the same. Fuck 'em all!
ReplyDeleteThe election was not a Blue or Red wave.
ReplyDeleteIt was a Moderate wave.
Which is what most wanted. I say most...not the far right or the equally inflexible far left.
People want pre-Trump, and pre-COVID conditions back.
A quarter million people needlessly died, and near 15,000,000 folks were infected. Plus the destruction of the economy, and tens of millions on food lines.
People want an end to that.
They want a return to our normal bickering. Such as who can use which bathrooms,...remember that one. It was a big deal once...fist fights in the few remaining malls over it. That, and racist fear of street crime. Ya hardly hear about either these days.
The good news is that it's slowly calming down.
The left pissed that Uncle Joe is not giving them keys to the car, and the right enraged that they can't kill poor people as much as they'd like. The old tug of war,...back to normal.
Joe is appointing smart wonks with connections to the real world...not revolutionaries. Which is a vast improvement over the last guy who kept appointing his incompetent golf buddies or Nazis that contributed to his election.
I'll take boring moderate scholars academics researches assorted scientists, and career diplomats over Proud Boy friendly republican Einsatzgruppen rounding up brown children to put in cages.
If Uncle Joe, and Aunt Harris don't blow it we might get somewhere. Might even keep the House in the Mid-Terms.
If nothing else it will be a mercy not live in terror of what an disturbed vengeful vicious ignorant head of state is doing by the hour. The experience of living through that has left many millions in a numbed weary emotional state.
We just came out of a near death experience for this country. I'll take a moderate willing to compromise administration as a transition to a more civilized era.
