Daughter visit

Well, so why is that worth a post?  Well, it' s because she is selling her house in Las Vegas and moving to Austin, Texas!  (I hope, if the sale goes through!)  In the 'If You Can Believe It File':  she has had some trouble selling her house because there is a solar array on the roof!!!!  To be fair it is a rent-to-own set up where she is paying for the array and her regular electric bill is dropping her total bill by about $40 a month but there is an additional bill, like $15, each month.  No one who was reading things could mistake that it was a good thing!  Oh well, plenty of people don't think - I mean, how did we get Trump as a President?   Isn't there a 'Ability To Speak In Public' requirement for the job?  Or at least an IQ test requirement?

Sorry, I've had a few drinks.  I'm so unhappy with the Democrats this year.  We get a bunch of 80 year olds; a gay mayor and FINALLY one younger person with national experience to whom no one is listening.  So why aren't people voting for Amy Kolbuchar?  She is younger, experienced at the national level, REASONABLE, not a socialist:  DAMN she's perfect!   Well, except for the woman thing; the reasonable thing; the not giving everything to everybody thing.  Oh well, what the heck, I know she won't get it.  She just isn't stupid enough to be President!  I mean look at the President!

Gotta go.  It's after 21:00 (9 p.m. to you civilians).  Have a good one!

Don, I wish I were able to be there so that Beach and I could cry in our beer with you. Beach also cannot understand why the Minnesota Senator cannot gain some ground. Like you say, she is a moderate, level-headed Senator, and certainly has paid her dues in service to this country. It may be true that she doesn't have enough money in her "war chest" to pitch a campaign similar to the big boys. The big boys seem to be Joe Biden, the Mayor, and Bernie Sanders, who have now agreed to take money from large PACs. Coming up the rear are the rich boys, Bloomberg and Steyer. Bloomberg is not listed on the democratic ballot tomorrow here in SC, but will be on the "Super Tuesday" ballots in various other states. In my research he seems to be a very smart and accomplished person, education as an electrical engineer and MBA, started his own tech company to easily organize data on Wall Street and other financial centers, and served as Mayor of NY City for 8 years. He also is wholly financing his own campaign; and has made a promise to the other candidates that if he loses, he will use said money and his trained professional staff to be at their disposal. Bernie Sanders has been the only one who has rejected that promise. Maybe that is because Bernie and Bloomberg are so far apart from their ideology. Bernie has been a democratic socialist for at least 30 years, and his message leans heavily to Marxism; Bloomberg is more of a moderate conservative who has recently registered with the Democratic Party. Bernie never registered with the party and has been serving in Congress as his own Independent Party. How does one run for the Democratic Party without registering and still collect delegates from each state under that party's banner?? In any event, we are voting for Joe Biden tomorrow at the SC Democratic Primary; he will be glad to take Bloomsberg's money and professional staff offer if he needs it.
