I’ve had a busy yet productive work week. I’m tired. I want to do my job because I love it. But, some weeks, it’s a battle. Between work and our country, I’m tired. On the other hand, my family and I are ok. Grateful and will help anyone. Because I think we’re all tired.

Why are people arguing over how much money President Musk has saved us or not? The money was allocated by Congress for a reason. Only Congress can change that, correct? Is this isn’t illegal, it should be!

This is the perpetrator that wanted to go out so badly this morning into arctic temperatures. Then said “Crap! It’s cold!” And tried to run home. Nay, nay my cow headed friend!

Walking my dog this morning was an experience. She walked a bit up the sidewalk as usual then abruptly turned and tried to head for home. She’s 65 pounds of muscle but luckily I held. She was convinced to finish “her business” then get home, out of arctic temperatures. Good girl.

My iPhone just switched from dark mode to light mode. So I guess it’s morning.

One thing that will not understand about the tech world I live in. Companies need there tech workers to learn about their technologies and best practices. But not if it takes time away from their jobs. So…..?

Trump when Musk’s 4 year old went medieval on his butt. Waiting for Musk to be relegated to proofreading Trump’s EOs.

Time to make an appt for a haircut and beard trim. I’m looking like either a wanted poster or a mug shot.

Speaking of snow, Andrew York created my all time favorite song about the subject. youtu.be/TKQcECfAvx8?...

I’m weird. But I love a snowfall that is big flakes and they glisten on the ground. Just so happens to be a lot of big flakes at the moment. But that’s ok by me.

Yes, I knew about him in the New York Dolls. But fell in love with Buster Poindexter and the many other characters he brought to life. Read the Variety article and help if you can. David and his family are really having a difficult time. Buy the t-shirt!

If one is serious about reform, one doesn’t start at a monetary amount. One starts with programs and helpfulness to the people. This ain’t about money! It’s about control over you and me! They are winning so what ‘cha gonna do?

I’m tired of seeing “BLM” used as an excuse to be racist. It’s been co-opted by MAGA as their way to shift blame away from their behavior. So now, I’ll spell it out every time. Say the name! “Black. Lives. Matter”.

I’m a gadget guy. That new shiny tech thing? Yep, I’m checking it out. 2 tech things from my past I want so bad to make a comeback; the PalmPilot and the Pebble watch. I might get my wish on the latter. Both did what they did beautifully.
