A joyful day..

ALT WHITMAN America's first Democratic Poet...
His words reminded us that we are each tied to the fate of the other...I think the GOP has forgotten that with the way they are wiggling like pigs stuck in a cave over the stimulus because they are so off base...saying the Bill is NOTHING but Democratic Pork...

Did  you know republicans want the 3 martini lunch to be tax deductible? They want that in the Stimulus Bill......AND they don't want any money to go directly to states to help get thru the pandemic,,,,this is what they call PORK, the Feds giving money Back to the states who will put it to good use helping the people...they are SO fascist and I really could care less what they want...because they are only for the rich. They oppose child tax credits...WTH is their problem...why shouldn't families with children be getting assistance?  They gave a huge tax cut to the WEALTHY, yet they don't want the poor to get the same???
Another thing the GOP Is trying to do in this state is to protect Patriotic Monuments...actually Racists from the past...by passing a bill called the Story of America.  And the teaching of this Propaganda, that was part of the perpetrating of SLAVERY. 
I would love to move out of this State of Hate. 

The leaders of our state house are debating the "hate crime bill" we do not have ONE...they are so afraid to let go of their hate...Even Walt Whitman, is viewed as a racists NOW but when he was alive and writing his words were not considered odd...so things change, we need to change as well...one leader was using words spoken in the past that would be considered Hate if spoken today He was quoting some scripture...THE thing is this is not about the Past it's about going forward from here.

SO today I got some seeds in pots to hopefully get some seedlings to put in my flower pots, and I also put some herbs in seed starter pots too.  They are in the laundry room till the frost threat is gone Mid April..

I went to Goodale SP today and took a walk and did a little birding in the afternoon..it was nice and warm and sunny.  I went inside had  chat with the assistant Ranger a very nice young fella, and I got my 2021 Parks Pass.  He said he is up for a Promotion,,,and if he gets it he will be moving to Dreher Island State Park, it's on Lake Murray and has a Campground, hope he gets it.

Another house fire to cover up a murder in our town..NOT connected but damn. 

Anyways it was an easy simple day I tried to make an appointment for the shot and each site I went to said Booking is currently Full...
and now Im having black beans and salsa for dinner...

I worked on getting more  photos restored for an hour and now it's time for the evening news..
