Day started at 0430 for your road weary blogger fiend. Grizz and Mama knew beyond a doubt something was up. Zooms? Big yawn, stretch and back to sleep. Grizz and Mama were underfoot all the way until I closed the door on my way out. Crossed into Tennesse in the dark, and first fill up was as Dawn was creeping in after a long night partying in Europe.
Made my destination by 1300 and was put straight to work (after a piss break and my demanded cold beer!!!)
Yeah bossman, thats how Dio gets a vaca, he just moves what he always does across statelines and the scenery change is the Vaca.
Yup, brought Serena with, in the off chance I get some time at water. Looking at the timelines and what still needs done, chances of my busting the straps to get water time look razor thin.
No biggie, I have worl to do, time away from the toxic environment I am usually involved in, and my muscles and joints are digging on the sauna like weather. I may even get to the beach to get my toes wet, if nothing else. (Note: cutrent location is about 60 miles inland, but we have to return to Charleston at some point to get Sis’s RV and other personal effects.)
So, its towards sunset, I’m doing some catchup, and run across this. And can’t say boo. I said it a few times, that I didn’t like Trump, but his actions were a sight better than any other politician for decades before. Then the ‘rona hit and my “dafuq?” head tilt went full bore (actually, my dafuq head twist started during the bumpstock ban, or, at least that was when the nose started to twitch, detecting a stink.)
And we have Geriatrics running the show indoctrinating telling the youth how hip and cool they are, even as they drool all over the microphone as their meds wear off.
There is one thing I have never changed my tone about. Government IS the problem.
What happened in DC to change Trump? How did they flip him? DID they flip him, or was he a shadow horse from the git-go?
Answers that will never see the light of day in my opinion.
That he did some good is beyond question.(middle east peace for what its worth, independence of foriwgn energy, that had its kneecaps shot out within days of 1202021, etc) but the fact remains, what the voters expected and what they recieved was worlds apart. That he had the reins and refused to do what was in his ability tells me they had something near and dear to him and he caved, or, that whole shadow horse thing and what we saw was all Kabuki theater again (and I am leaning towards that more and more as time goes by.)
And don’t none of it frickin matter now. I won’t say ‘they won’, they haven’t. The backlash is building. The media is deflecting it, but the signal remains and the word is getting out. People are getting mad, getting silent, and watching as the future starts taking on a dark ominous and quite bleak appearance. There is still much to lose, and I think the trigger will happen before the ‘nothing left to lose’ point, but ‘only just’. Things are going to get quite strange before that point
Anywhoos, its been a day, shift in altitude and weather has my head doing bad things, and I am beat. I’m still “unsettled” but the tension in my shoulders has eased off (I can tell cuz the bastards are hurting and twingy) and its likely to be a long day tomorrow. Sisters battered and broken Significant other is being released from the hospital for home care and getting him into the new digs is why I am here. Wheel chair ramp or lift needs made. We can get him in without it, but long term, thats a must do. He’ll be another 12 weeks before they pull all that stainless hardware off of and out of his legs. And then still doing rehab for,, 6 months minimal. But looking at it, I wouldn’t be surprised by a year or more. (Truck accident. Busted both legs below the knees and the left femur and hip. 7 rounds of surgery, and pounds of pins, screws and other hardware to hold things in place. He’s down for awhile.)
Yeah. This is a ‘vacation’. heh.
