Another lovely sunset!

 It's not tough to be out with the dog after his dinner when you get to look at this!

 We talk about moving but this sure makes it difficult!  Have a good one!

Just a short update! No Kings!

 Today there were supposed to be 'No Kings' demonstrations all over the country.  We weren't expecting much since there are so many Trump fans living here but we were wrong!  The center of our town is where 2 highways meet and there were people on all four sides of the meeting.  I was guessing that there were at least 100 people and almost everyone who went past was honking their horn and waving in support!  It was great!  We had thought about going out and joining them but my wife's ankle was really barking so we just drove past the demonstrators two or three times honking and waving.  Damn, it would be lovely if President Dummy and his crowd noticed that there are plenty of people who disagree with his desire to own the country!  Our local sheriff was out there and a deputy or two but everyone was being good so they just stood around and watched the fun.

Then we went to CVS and got Covid shots.  We are still hoping to take a cruise in February and getting ill on the cruise isn't that much fun.  Yeah, we've tried that and the medics are very nice and competent but I'd still rather not have to deal with them. 

Anyway, that was our day.  70F (21C), not much wind, lots of sun and excited people!   

Quiet times

 We've been having some quiet times out here in rural Nevada.  Not to say nothing's happening.  It was a tad windy the other day.

 That's the flag outside our largest casino and getting it flat out like that is pretty unusual.  It takes some real wind.  The casino across the street has another flag about the same size but I couldn't get them both in one photo.  

We've also had some weird weather.

 That is the view to the east; towards the mountains.  And, yes, we got a little rain and some snow up on the mountain peaks.  I think we got up to 65F (18C) that day.

That was the view to the west.  These photos were taken about 30 seconds apart so you either get cloudy and nasty or pretty blue and sunny depending on which direction you are looking.  By tomorrow we should be in the low 80's (28C).  Who knows what's going to happen next!
 

We do donate to the VFW Food Bank about once a month.  A store was having a case sale so I got a couple of cases for the vets.  It was something over $300 but, well, why not? 

 I know I've mentioned it before but my dad (and me, of course) and all the men in my wife's family served in the military.  We both want to help those folks who served our country and need help.  

My wife's ankle is still giving her trouble.  She had it fused almost 3 months ago and it is still very painful.  She had a women coming around giving her PT advice and now she is going to a local PT office but walking is pretty much out of the question.  We did go out to lunch the other day and she used her walker but around the house or if we are going someplace with lots of walking; it's a wheelchair day.  She certainly hasn't been in a grocery store since the surgery!  Oh, and I'm doing most of the cooking so you can guess it's been pretty second rate!

So that's what's going on around here.  The place is about 90% Republican so you still see some Trump signs but not nearly as many as six months ago!  I'm pretty sure that within a year we'll be almost free of those signs.  Not free of the President nor the idiots he has in the cabinet but people will be noticing the decline in their lives; freedom; savings and I don't know what else.  I am a little worried that we might have a President J. D. Vance  but we'll have to cross that bridge when we get there.  Talk a life in the crap lane!

Have a good one and try to get all the vaccines you need and keep washing those hands!
