           Nope, this is still not a political blog. We don't delve into issues, but we do report on misconduct and we have plenty of source material in the way the Democrats are opposing Trump to the max. This misbehavior is on a national scale and we would like to know what they are really up to. Nobody said Trump was perfect but listen to the Establishment amp up any possible negative they can find or create. It just makes us all the more suspicious. And that is why I let the dog out early this morning and made extra coffee. I know what wakes people up before dawn and the aroma of coffee easily fills this place within seconds. What am I so ruffled about? Just because all those people are avowed woketards? I don't discuss stuff with them.
           I dunno, maybe I just hate to see people lolling around until noon while there is so much work to be done. If I can make breakfast with one pan, one dish, one fork, one cup, and wash them after, I don't see why others can't do the same. If I was mean, I'd post a picture of how high the sink gets piled when she's away. Or maybe it's from replacing toilet lids with no help on what should have been my birthday Sunday off. That would rile me. Other men get keg parties and you-knows, I get my face in the super bowl but Chooks could not operate the camera. Yes, I thought of a photo from the bottom up. As for the company, they've had almost a year to get that one together. There, I feel much better now.

           I love memes and I see there is a surge of nostaligic posts about the imagined way it used to be. A lot of it is true, however. Before the Immigration Act, you could leave your bike on the lawn and few people locked their cars or doors. But one fallacy that persists is the Hippie and his van. It may have been my pre-blog days, but I once did a budget study for what it cost to be a Hippie. Summers at a surf cabin, winters on campus, the decorated van, gas/insurance/plates, weed, tape deck, guitar, and fashions. At least ten times the money I ever had without having to work for it. Because getting a job was, like, selling out to the Man, like. You would need at least $95,000 per year cash flow to be a hippie today.
           How is life in the worker's paradise of North Korea that Democrats admire so much? Well, you know the troops North Korea sent to aid Russia. The Russians promptly used them as human shields and potential desertions number 10,000. That is despite reprisals against the soldier's families back in Korea. What's with this 13 views on my band profile ad? Did something burn down back in Florida? I glanced through all the replies and conclude it is a combination of curiosity and people who seek to avoid the band formation proces. Any guitarist looking for his next backup band to take over is an auto-reject. What have we got this time. First we eliminate those who are too far away or in places I've never heard of such as Winter Garden, Hudson, and Chuluota. Chuluota is a wilderness area 50 miles the other side of Orlando, a swamp. I shy away from anybody to freaky-looking and confess an aversion to millennial-sounding names like Gerad & Tanner, but keep their contact info.

           Are you a new country fan? Front row tickets to Strait's Las Vegas concert are going for $16,000. And people wonder why I got the hell out of the recording racket before I got into it. A biological White female of normal weight has won the Miss Universe pageant and Democrats are wailing. Reports of the arrest of election crimes continue to trickle in, but only on a small scale to what most expect it could be. No massive fines or jail sentences yet, but there is an air of hope because it only takes one to set the example.

           Another sunny afternoon got the Chooks and I out for an extended walk. And a shop, Lillie took out the 60W desk bulb. If you don't pat her on the floor, well, that the cat I once saw leap from the kitchen table across an 28 foot room to an arm on the sofa. She has dearly earned the nickname "Impoid" and has the broken dishes and ornaments to prove it. My leather sandals need a repair. The soles are foam rubber, but the uppers are way to nice (and comfortable) to ditch. We shall hark back to my days as a cobbler and get these things retreaded. Guess what I use? You know those rubber-backed segments of carpet at the dollar store? Idea. I also stained and am now putting acrylic on the little boxes. In Tennessee, these coating take forever to dry. So we took Andrew Jackson up to the Dollar Tree and went for another walk.
           It is now that the vacancy of Sammy is hitting Chooks. He looks for the little guy and sleeps on his blanket. Outwardly it looks like he needs reassurance he won't be gone the same. You know he's lonesome for something when he follows you room to room rather than plunking down on his favorite cushions. I've got him up on the love seat right beside me for now, I'll be on the computer at least another hour. We also checked the mailbox, walked the creekbank, then checked the deer camera. He has no appetite, a sure sign he's off balance. He will eat if you hand feed him, which is how it's been for a couple days now.

           Trump has confirmed he will use the military to throw out the illegals. Makes sense, they are an invasion force and I'll bet the majority of the military does not like what the Democrats have done. Vaccines, feminization, sex operations, and third-world recruits who have zero empathy or loyalty to the US as we know it. I'll also bet they will welcome deportation as a way to expose weakness in their ranks, get rid of political lackeys in their system, and root out the traitors who sold out to the system. Trump has successfully implemented a program where the more the Democrats bellow, the stronger his position becomes.
           The coverage of the SpaceX launch has become docutainment. Have you heard the new announcers? I know the old style "Cronkite" format was a bit bossy, but those guys never pretended to be rocket scientists. This new bunch, I dunno. It's mostly two millennials using every bit of Internet jargon they can muster to answer fake call-in questions from equally fake sources. "First of all, Josh & Tyler, thank you for having me on your show. Can the rocket fly at night?"

           It's a struggle for me to even listen to people who are unaware that the goal is Mars. Until somebody succeeds if tanking up a complete rocket in outer space nobody is going anywhere. As long as flypasts are used to speed the spacecraft, transit times will remain impossibly slow. We need a rocket that can blast to Mars and use retro-rockets to slow down again. The technology is there, but instead the US is putting record numbers of people on welfare. If all goes well, SpaceX 6 should launch tomorrow. I don't think I can stand those lisping nincompoops. Typical question, will the heat tiles work on Mars. typical answer yeah, there's a math formula that say the ratio is inversely cubular.
