Star-Ledger today, Legal weed sales delayed again.

--- another one of my mind ramblings. Feel free to click on to something else because this one is

going nowhere.

I was watching the Netflix doc. on Andy Warhol. There is the point about his sexuality and how he had to hide it as a kid.Then I got to thinking about my sexuality. (Or lack of it these days - I am 80 and the market for 80 year olds is not too hot.) From this point in time, I guess I will die, INCEL.

I am hetro. Nothing remarkable about that.. it just is. I don't come off as macho. Far from it. When I was about 18, my uncle tried to call me out.. "I think you are a queer."

My response: "That is a very nice invitation, Uncle Ben, but I don't do that." He never brought it up again.

Guys have hit on me in past. I do not accept their efforts. I just explain that it is not for me. It doesn't upset me...it just is. About 5 years ago, one of my friends hit on me. I declined. He asked if I was offended that he propositioned me. I told him that I wasn't. It was like if he had asked me to play a game of Curling. I wouldn't accept the invitation because I am not interested in Curling but I wouldn't be upset because you asked me if I wanted to play.

We are friends.... see each other a few times a month. He still sends passes at me, once or twice a year, more in a sense of humor now.

Which then brings me to where this is going. It was about 15 years ago, I was in a small NYC venue and the show was "The Mcgarrigle Family." This included Rufus Wainwright. Joyce and I got there early and sound check and such were going on. Rufus was setting up on stage and he commented about some hot guy in the back of the room. This pissed me off because he wasn't hitting on me. I would not have responded to a pass except to smile and maybe acknowledge him with a smile.. but still, I was pissed that he wasn't attracted to me.

Now why, do you suppose, is that?

The Freedom Convoy --- Somebody's grift.

$5 million collected from rubes. Truckers ain't seen any of it.

Taking out Putin. My thoughts. Yours?

Can it happen? I don't expect nor encourage C.I.A. or Eric Prince to go to Moscow for the purpose. But will Putin go? If so, how? Or will he just decide to recall the troops?

People who have suggested a "rubout," have been bet with hostile reaction. "Who would replace him?" and so forth. But if getting him out of office isn't the plan, then what is the plan/purpose of the economic sanctions?

So, who would take him out and what would happen to him? It has happened before..... coup without the leader being wacked. Remember Nikki K? He was removed and allowed to retire to his lakefront property. Gorby was removed and not killed.


Does the E.U. and U.S. expect the oligarchs to go to him and tell him to just stop? Do thy have the authority? The access to him? Maybe members of the Politbureau or whoever the second level leaders are. Maybe the military leaders but would they be much better than him?


People in the streets are there because they don't support the war or because they are directly suffering... But who listens to them?

Your thoughts?

Russian oligarchs now looking for Col. von Stauffenberg.

Needed A.S.A.P.

My wife is in the other room, watching MSNBC on the invasion.

Radio show this morning referred to Madeline Albright's first meeting with Putin where she described him as "reptilian.


I'm listening to Utah Phillips singing, "Enola Gay." His singing and the tune isn't too good but the words are powerful.

I wonder how many people will die.


Meanwhile, the guy on MSNBC is wondering how high gas prices will go up to......

My pants, shoes and the floor are covered in cinnamon. I was funneling cinnamon from the package to

a shaker.

Mitzi, (black cat) decided I needed help.....

Has C.D.C. or whoever... authorized or recommended a 4th vax dose

or booster?

Trump lost his accountant? No worry. He joins A.A.R.P. and

gets his taxes done free by volunteers at the local library.

Canada: Expect more of this. January 6th, now this.

Including in the U.S., this shit will escalate.

They think they have learned that governments can't stop them. Not only that, you can get rich doing it. The Christian fund raising site has raised millions to give to these assholes.
