ENT ON MY SECOND TRIP to town...
Survived it, but did not enjoy it! I went early and did beat the crowds and went right through the check out no waiting in line...that part was good...but I still see a lot of empty shelves.
I did not go back to IGA will boycott them since he is not enforcing masks, I've known that manager since he was a high school bag boy, and I've supported his store for decades but no more...
I went to Food Lion everyone I saw in and out of the store was masked this to me means they are doing what they can to make a difference. part of a solution.
Back home putting things away was tiring to say the least. I got myself a slice of watermelon...oh it was so sweet wished I had purchased an entire melon, but normally I'm into it in the beginning, then my interest wanes and with my fridge not cooling all that well I could see it going bad before I eat the whole thing so the one slice was perfect.
My step grand dad used to grow water melon and strawberries for market, back in the day he used two big draft horses to do the plowing and he planted by hand and harvested by hand even us kids were put into the field to pick melons and berries. We didn't get paid but we got 2 squares and a feather bed to sleep in!!
I have 2 small ones growing in the garden pots but who knows if it's going to become ripe melons this late, I didn't get them in early...right now it's like tennis balls or a little bit bigger. Grand pa Jess would surely chuckle at my attempt.
7 deer came into the field about an hour before dusk to eat the corn I spread out... does, yearling bucks in velvet, and the fawn so sweet...he was off grazing by himself, I hope the yearlings don't pick on him...he is much smaller. I've already gone out and put out more corn for them...I spread it around so hopefully the little one can get some too. This is thru the glass they can hear me moving around in the house so I have to be very quiet or they take off...
I watched the convention on PBS, some of it was hokey but hey it's tv, still I never watch a convention; this is watchable...I felt the diversity of the delegates told a huge story of how this is a party of the real people...doubt you will see the same if you watch the Rep Convention which I won't be doing...why on Earth would I even consider doing that. It would be like watching dirty snow melt, not happening. I voted once for Ronald Reagan, and that was the end of my walk on the wrong side.
Trump of course comes up with stupid remarks, like Michelle Obama's speech was OLD....ok maybe hours old but not days old she spoke of his BS plot to destroy the US Mail...and paraphrased his "it is what it is" comment on how people are dying of the virus he ignored for 2 months
Im sure if I were to venture over to Facebook there will be many posts of his insane tweets I haven't looked but I can almost imagine him ranting about Crooked Hillary and the Senate Russian probe into Paul Manafort, and how he barely knew that guy...oh yeah then why did you pardon him; forgot that little tidbit?...he was basically a Russian Spy...but oh well he was what he was eh.. and how they are all out to get him and it's all fake news from the liberal media... and Bill Clinton was a child molester, and how Jimmy Carter is senile hit himself in the head with a hammer, and how Kerry is out of touch and Colin Powell is a traitor and how Joe is too old for the job...wait there is only 3 yrs between them Trump will be 77 in 3 yrs so...if Biden is too old then so is Trump. I can just imagine it so I don't even need to read his BS to know it was spewed. He is so predictable just fill in the blanks.
I'm looking forward to getting this election behind us, if he won't concede I hope 10 million protesters go up and drag his sorry carcass into the street. That's one march I would enjoy being a part of. This is why he has a fence around the White House...he has his little bunker full of junk food and and this direct link to Fox News to hide in. I hear 23 states are suing him. LoL, I love it when he has to squirm.
The solidarity of the people of Belarus show us how a united front of people can make a difference, we have to want it, and we have to put it all on the line for it. American's are kept down by poverty and debt. They don't have time to protest they are too busy trying to keep their noses above water...to pay the rent, put food on the table, keep the kids and parents safe, and be super human's making the American Dream real on $8 bucks an hr while paying out outrageous car insurance because it's not regulated and is an outright scam...and they can't afford health insurance because Trump has done his best to destroy what Obama started, it could have been built on and been a good thing by now had the right person been put in the White House by the insane Electoral College, which is an institution whose time has COME to be dismantled!! Save the US postal Service Dismantle the Electoral College..it's time we get what we VOTED for.
Why is Voting day not on a Saturday, and why not over 2 days? It's all to keep the minorities from voting...minorities can't get off work on a Tuesday to go vote. It's all OLD out dated BS that we should Demand be changed or else!! I will be elbowing my way past all the Trump humpers to make my way into my Poll place at the elementary school on NOV 3rd Don't care if I have to get out of my death bed I will be there.
I had an Obama/Biden bumper sticker on my van, and my son had borrowed the van to drive when his car was out of commission....and he got pulled over like 5 times by cops so he scrubbed off the bumper sticker and no more cops stops.
I really didn't believe him at the time....but now I do.
I live in a sea of RED and really wish I could move! I've looked online at property values...If I sell my place I would need another $200,000 to buy a similar place in one of the Blue States! This is the problem in a nutshell....like where my sisters live, even a ramshackle run down old place is 3 times the value of my home here!!
Well more ramblings from what's left of my brain hopefully I can get back to center before much longer, the weather is changing, and maybe it will put me in a better place my world is pretty small right now...I have my birds, deer, and the news and that's about it! I said two words to one person today...
and that was "thank you."
