The state of the union

Yeah, I didn’t watch the speech. I didn’t need to listen to Drooling Joe the Chinese Hand Puppet slur/shout for an hour. The clips of it that I did see were just as bad as I expected him to be – lying, mean-spirited, demented. Mush-brained. And doped up to his bulging eyeballs on so many stimulants that I’m shocked he didn’t just keep over. Whatever they keep sticking him with is some amazing stuff, but it can’t cover up how far gone Drooling Joe is.

I have spent the past couple of weeks trying to improve myself and my mood just a little bit. I can’t say that I disconnected from the news because I didn’t. However, I did help someone who I had mentored previously get her feet on the ground in Northern Idaho. I joined up with a chorale group, and found out that one of my old high school buddies was in it. I’ve been taking care of various things around the house, getting my motorcycle re-registered and a new title showing my current, permanent address. Baking up a storm. Sourdough bread. And of course, schoolwork, because I added another class on to my pile because GI Bill and why not?

Most of all I’ve spent a lot of time pondering on what I wish to spend energy on. Especially with the upcoming election, the hue and cry of people proclaiming their woe or how horrible I am for not allowing myself to be murdered by an illegal alien, or I don’t give up my property to come criminal without a fight or the fact that I’m considered white so I’m evil. Where to direct my energy? Well, at this point the only energy I have is for local issues. Making sure the local sheriff gets re-elected because he’s the first law enforcement bulwark against government tyranny, as proven by the fact that with the North Idaho Health Commission tried to do a mask mandate and said that the local law enforcement would be the people to make it stick, the sheriff popped up less than a day later to issue a statement, that statement being “I will not enforce this unconstitutional mandate, nor will any deputy under me.”

Yeah. Gotta keep that man employed.

Improving my house, especially as it applies to being able to defend it. Building rabbit hutches so I can raise meat rabbits. Possibly building a larger chicken coop for my mom. And of course during the summer, firewood. And more firewood. Then more firewood, because I’d love to be able to see a bunch and make some cash next winter.

I’ve spent a goodly amount of time making sure that I’m not spinning my wheels. A navigation check, if you will.

Anyways, that’s why I haven’t been writing more. You should see more of me in the future.

Oh, and Daylight Savings Time is a horrible idea, always has been a horrible idea, and needs to be ended immediately. Thatisall.
