So Nicole Wallace

and the Pentagon reporter have entered into a long conversation about the palpable despair there over our withdrawal from Afghanistan. Gee why didn't they say anything when rtump signed that treaty with the Taliban over a year ago, or when he turned his back on all those Kurds? Didn't our military care then?

A great day

Last week, we lost my sister. She was of advanced age with dementia. Sad and we'll miss her. But this morning, my grandson called to tell me the wonderful news that he and his wife have welcomed a new baby girl into the world! The circle of life!

Found while getting away

from the cable news b.S. "Shock and Awe". On Amazon Prime. Story of how we got into Iraq and the lies we were told. Excellent cast. Highly recommended.

Engel on MSNBC

now whining and wringing his hands about how much were not doing for Afghanistan. Unwatchable!

Morning musings

Just wondering. Is it summer programming, or do Joe and Mike seem to be keeping away from each other? She's on one day, he's on another. I'd imagine Joe would be a difficult spouse

Just received a video

from family in Newton Co. Ga. School started a week ago. By Friday afternoon, 80 students tested positive. They are now instituting mask wearing! Looks like the family reunion in September is off. Damn!

Just ended an online conversation

with an anti vaxer who badgered my niece on FB after she posted a got vaxed photo. She went on and on about all the people she knew who suffered horrendous illness from the vaccine. Now I've lived a long time, know many people and have a large family. Not one of them suffered any serious reactions. Anyone know a good comeback to say to these fools?

This crap is getting me pissed

Being so careful. Fully vaccinated and staying home for 18 months. Decided today to go to a nearby restaurant/bar for lunch after a troubling doctor visit. While eating our lunch, the only other patron, drunk as a skunk, came over to chat. Wouldn't take the hint to leave and had us virtually trapped in our seats. Wanted to tell us about the Right to Life Rally he'd flown to last weekend. Were in Florida! So now WE have to isolate and be afraid and nervous for the next week. This fool will go home and sleep it off and go merrily on his way. Life in the time of pandemic is so very frustrating! Damn!!!!! Thank you for permitting my rant.

Surprise, Surprise

CNN just reported Covid infections have gone up 97% since last week! Now when was the July 4th weekend?
