Debris !

After our recent snow, our trees lost several limbs. In itself this wasn’t the half. Some of them, some of the biggest ones landed on my storage shed. What a mess. Oh, yes, a couple of them totally mutilated my gate, which cost me me $200 and a couple of afternoons.

The steel shed, though it is now useless, did protect everything inside from physical damage. I am now considering 3 or 4 options to replace it. The thing is, no matter, I must first remove the ton, literally, of debris on and around it.

I looked here and there for some assistance, but it is to small a disaster to call FEMA. It’s one of those in between things. It’d be, maybe better had it been worse. (Now figure that irony)

So, every now and then, when I feel like it and weather permits, I take my rake, shovel and electric chainsaw out and work until I can’t. At 72, that’s not long.

For those that think I’m complaining, I’m not.

I saw a middle-aged man shoveling debris in Ukraine. He has every right to complain. He has a right to complain about Putin and his army. He has a right to complain about politicians who can and should have helped, but are more concerned about climate change. He had a lot to complain about.

Instead, he goes about his task. He is possibly feeling the pains of loss of loved ones and/or friends. He might possibly be wishing someone had sent more weapons and planes. It is not likely, but possible he wished the dems hadn’t cheated on our election. Even he likely knows that there wouldn’t be a war if Trump had been in the Oval Office. He would know that because Putin waited for Biden. Only then was there war.

No, I don’t complain about a little weather. There are many things that are far worse.

Who Was That Lady?

It is the name of an old film, or close to it. I saw it at the theater. I had a pretty good laugh at it, as did those who went with me.

I was reminded of the film when, for the thousandth or so time I saw Joe and his son apparently going through a line in a cafe. Most of us I guess pay little attention to the woman behind the counter in the light green shirt.

Then, tonight, as I saw the picture again, a number of questions occurred to me. Who is she? Does she know Joe? Does Joe or his son know her and how well? Did she have to sign some kind of release?

Then, I wonder about how it affected her life. Did she get more dates? Less dates? Or maybe she is/was married. For that matter, did she get married as a result of the photo. (Her future husband says, “Hey you’re the one in that photo.”) Then again, maybe Joe’s son asked her out.

On the other hand, maybe they were dating before the photo. In a way, she does seem to have some recognition for them.

Then there is the matter of politics. Is she a democrat or republican. Maybe neither.

At any rate, I did try to find the photo on the internet. No luck. Not one bit. So, I would suspect along with many others, I will never know the answers to any of the questions. I will forever wonder, “Who Was That Lady?” Moreover, I doubt that Joe or his son would be able to help me.

A Question for the Future Associate Supreme Court Justice

I really would not want her to answer. but the question should be asked, for her benefit as well as Joe’s and the other senators.

“How does it feel to be the most qualified black woman in the US for the Supreme Court?”

Being a woman, she is best of 50% of all possible candidates. maybe. That assumes that there are as many men as women candidates. Then of course, being black. she is best qualified 13 % of those in the US. Altogether that makes her the best qualified of about 4 % of the population of the country. Maybe that makes her feel well qualified. I don’t know. If that makes makes her feel good about her appointment, it does make me wonder a little about her intelligence. The stats just don’t speak well for her.

It’s okay though. Joe will have his pick. Unless she really steps on her own toes, for instance in the are of child pornography, she will be the next justice. Given her thoughts on crime, she just may embarrass herself and those who leveraged her in. Also, she just might embarrass a few of those who share the color of her skin and her gender. Next time a democrat appoints a justice, he, or she, just might loot at the qualifications first… then the color of the skin.

Joe’s 2 Fears

As I watch and listen, it’s becoming clearer by the day that Joe and his FOCs have a big fear of losing to Biden. However, Joe’s far bigger fear is that Ukraine just might win.

I wonder if this has anything to do with his son’s history. The world just might find out how close it is to his own.

Red Herring

I decided to look up the word to make sure I have been using it right. One meaning has to do with smoked fish. The other somewhat has to do with deception. The following words are are considered to mean the same or nearly the same thing as the second meaning.

Ruse, blind, feint, deception, subterfuge, hoax, smokescreen, trick, ploy, sham, pretense, and distraction.

Whenever anyone representing Joe says that there are 9,000 leases already approved, we can honestly, say that every one of the above words applies, especially ruse, deception, hoax and smokescreen. Their purpose is to hide the truth and deceive. It is all part of a big hoax. Bottom line, it is dishonest.

Then again why should anyone expect anything else from any FOC, especially ol’ Joe.

Many of those leases have no oil. Anyone who would do the research would know it is sort dumb to drill where there is no oil. Moreover, the FOCs have been blocking the oil people every place they are able using super red tape.

In essence, the FOCs have declared war on oil long before Joe took office. They prefer to buy the oil from enemies and terrorist than to pump it out from under our own feet. There is but one reason I can think of for that. They are also friends of the enemy as well as the criminals.

Can anyone give me another reason?

Speaking of criminals, anyone see hide nor hair of that criminal #1, Fauci. He seems to be hiding these days. Maybe he is getting ready to take off for China, where I am sure they will richly reward him.

I Have Decided to Do My Part

According to those in the Biden WH, we should do our part to save on energy usage. My first thought was “Forget it!”

Then I had second thoughts. I have a fantastic idea on how I can do my part. All I need do is go out and buy a horse and buggy. Being as I am retired, I could use it for 80 to 90% of my travel and my use the car for the rest.

Actually, better yet, I could sell my car and just rent an auto when I need it. It might save me a dollar or two.

Wait a minute. What am I thinking of? I can’t get a horse. I think they have laws against that sort of thing here in the city.

Oh, well. Guess I’ll have to settle on my car, at least until they change the law. And I would really like to get a horse. I like horses . It’s maybe better anyway. I’ve kinda gotten used to air conditioning and I don’t think I can put one on a buggy. The extension cord would be too long.

2 Things About a Bully

There are many things that people say about bullies in general. They are mean, inconsiderate, generally big, and they generally have big egos.

However, there are two things that are true about all bullies. They always bully people they perceive as being weaker than themselves. Moreover, they persist until someone successfully stands up to them.

There is no doubt that Putin qualifies as one. Though week, his ego is fed by his office. Through his office, he also meets many other descriptions of bullies.

However, though some don’t think of him as meeting the description of a bully, Joe does always back away from the strong and causes the weak grief. Moreover, his ego grows bigger by the day. If he were removed from office, his ego would take a dive. Currently, he is surrounded by those building his ego. If he were to lose his job, he would be crushed.

May I remind one and all, right now, the bully who is not backing down is Putin. I guess that means Joe is the weaker bully.

When it Ain’t Broke….

It is an old saying and well worth remembering and repeating…When it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Apparently, Joe didn’t get his copy.

The day he took his oath, nothing was broken but Joe decided to start fixing things. Now he’s not only broke the thins here in the USA he’s grossly messed up things all over the planet…and he did it in a little over a year.

Now people are suffering and dying. Guess he’s really proud of himself. He now has the world on the brink of utter nuclear destruction. Joe just might want his folks check his fallout shelter. That way, he just might survive to realize what he did.

`nough Said

When Biden first took his oath, gas was less than $2.00 a gallon. Now it is $4.15. It’s likely gonna go up another dollar or two. ‘Nough said.

When Joe took over, things were relatively peaceful and secure. Now, not so much. People, children are dying. Joe don’t care. According to him the most dangerous thing is climate change.

But then the climate change thing’s a lie. Getting oil from the former soviets causes far more pollution. Then his problem with drilling here in the US is that gas prices and pollution would go down, disproving Joe’s narrative.

As an aside, there’s a whole bunch of pollution being generated by that war over there. If pollution were really their concern, they would stop that war. One bomb can produce a bunch of smoke, aka pollution. And that doesn’t even take into account all the fire and smoke post explosion.

Dumber Than Dirt, Figuratively

I like Jen Psaki. I do. I have the feeling that we could actually carry on a reasonable conversation face to face. Moreover, I realize that her job is to protect her brainless boss. However, this time she just went over the line.

When asked if starting up the pipeline would help relieve the oil shortage faster than going green, she calmly replied, “No.”

Now, let’s see. The pipeline would relieve the oil shortage in what? 4 or 5 months. Going green? Maybe 30; maybe 40 years. Possibly never.

That either makes her dumber than dirt or a person who tells big fat ones. I prefer to think she’s lying. If not that makes the woman less intelligent than the pet rocks I spoke of in an earlier post.

Then again, she just might prefer to pay for Putin’s war by buying oil that pollutes far far more than Canadian oil. Might it be possible that she, her boss and her friends are far more friendly with the Russians than they accused of President Trump.

Then again, it just might be all of the above.
