Talk about quiet!

 I haven't updated this in some time but there is a simple reason:  nothing to say!  We haven't even had a special sunset lately and no way am I getting up early enough for sunrise!  

We are surrounded by Republicans around here but at least there was a "No Kings" demonstration here along with the rest of the country.  I simply cannot imagine how these Republicans think Mr. Trump is doing anything for them.  Things are getting more expensive by the minute and governmental help is disappearing just as fast.  I'm waiting on ICE to come into town and drag off 10-15% of the population sending them back to Mexico or pretty much any South American country.  Most of our medical professionals are from overseas as well (mostly Asian countries) but I've got to think that even Trump isn't stupid enough to send them back to their country of origin.

 The thing that bothers me most about Mr. Trump is his mental state.  He is clearly not all there!  Every speech has statements that not only are weird but they have nothing to do with what he's talking about.  Getting the Republican's to see he has to go to the sidelines is going to be difficult unless he does something completely crazy.  And then I'm worried about his Vice President and Cabinet officials.  They seem even crazier than he is so without him who knows what they will be trying to do.  My guess is that we'll be finding out before too long.

Meanwhile, our personal days are full of fun.  My wife has Physical Therapy twice a week and one or the other of us needs to have blood drawn or an MRI or some scan done every couple of weeks.  Otherwise it's just living life.  Of course my wife can't do much of anything so I'm doing the shopping; cooking; laundry; cleaning; feeding the dog and the wild birds; pretty much everything and that's a lot for an old fart like me!  She is getting better with using a walker and the PT people have her using some specialized kind of cane but she does still need plenty of rides in the wheelchair.   I did have my 77th birthday last month so now I'm on my way to 78.  I'm really happy that I can do all that stuff and help her get around as well.  The fact that I see some movie star or someone dying when they are 5 or 10 years younger than I am does make me feel kind of weird.  Of course who knows what kind of life they were living!  Maybe they were living in the fast lane and God knows I'm pretty much in the slow lane!

I guess that's it for tonight.  Take care of yourself and your loved ones.  Keep keeping clean and stay away from the idiots!
