Tell me...

HAT'S IT ALL ABOUT...

Just like Alfie, we will all face the music one day...not just in one way but in every way...,Karma yep.  I swear this summer was set up by last summer, 14 days of covid on the couch dying LoL ok I felt like I was dying I didn't but I think the virus has run amuck inside me and it had it's way with me for 12 months then I was ill twice this year with something similar, does it even matter if it was covid?  I didnt have to go to hospital or even a doctor as long as I didnt try to do ANYTHING I was fine, but NOW the weather is getting better and I want to do things...

Where is my energy, my strength, my will to try harder?  Damn it! 
So Ida swept by here yesterday evening gave us one heck of a thunder storm dropped a few trillion buckets of rain then went on up North to have her with the Yankees...hope she is kind to them. 

Yesterday before she hit I went out to tromp around a hot as hell sod farm.  Yes I hang out at sod farms, sewage ponds, and swamps.  Go figure why I have no friends, 
"Hello, yeah friend of mine, will you meet me at the sewage pond, we'll have lunch on the tailboard and then drive over to the right out in the open hot humid sod farm for drinks of tepid water after." 

Yeah right...just imagine that.  So I went to try for photos of the Upland Sandpiper, there was 2 of them there...but it was Tuesday on a sod farm, so there was telehandlers, tractors, semi's, huge sprinkling systems shooting out tons of water, and there was me off on the verge trying like hell to see 2 upland sandpipers who kept getting spooked by trucks, men, and water systems.  The photos sucked pretty much.  I made that ebird list Private as I don't want Give me a Break to review it. Not a new bird for me, but one I haven't had a look at since the 90's and rare for the area...I may go back on Sunday and hope they don't work on Sunday. 

I thought I was gonna die of heatstroke.  I just can't deal with the summer heat anymore.  So today Im trying to recover, I did give both my dogs a bath...Outside, just used the hose and lathered them up and rinsed them down dried them off and they are on the porch waiting to be dry enough to come inside where it is air conditioned and quite cold if you are damp and wet.  

One year ago on the 3rd our family friend who was my mom's bff passed away YES ITS been a year.  I want to go visit her grave and bring her flowers...tomorrow is supposed to be cooler so I plan to go tomorrow if nothing happens and I actually have the energy to make the trip.  

How soon they forget, the Republicans who goaded George W Bush into sending troops in to get even for the 9/11 terror attack on American Soil...they wanted to kill every Afghan in sight...now they are screaming because 20 yrs later they want us to stay, they got mad because we left? I don't get it.  What do they want...for us to go back?  Like I said before it was never a real war...in a real war you know who your enemy is.  We made a lot of mistakes the biggest was making it a war.  "Quilts for the troops, care packages for the troops, bring home our troops,"....what now it's "make our troops stay there so we can send cookies, quilts, and stream life feeds on their birthday?"  

The second biggest mistake is to believe we can build a nation Unite one WHEN WE ARE SO DIVIDED how the hell can we Unite Afghans when the last President we had tried to overthrow US??? Overtake our  government??? And half the fuckin people in this nation want that ????????????????????? And they wonder why we failed in Afghanistan, OMG it makes me want to barf. We went to kill Bin Laden, it took 10 yrs to actually do that...and then we tried to build a country one that was as divided as our own.  This is the same direction we are headed for petes sake...HALF the freaks in this country want to force the other half to live under their religious fantasies.  ITS NO DIFFERENT PEOPLE!! 

This post is all over the place cause I've already been dragged right back into it,,,,,seen the first 9/11 documentary of 2021, so a lot of Crap is coming back to me that I'd like to forget, it's all wrapped up in one neat little putrid bundle, GW Bush who was an idiot, the planes, the towers, the people jumping, the fear, the realization, the death, the marches, the tears, the piles of flowers and missing posters, then the military strikes, the moving on, the years of soldiers losing a leg, losing a life, losing hope...and then we sure as hell didn't win..... did we? 

Now we remember, and yet we learned nothing.  The GOP will welcome the Afghan refugees?  No they will not....we will see how soon they will start to complain about that, they don't want the refugees on our Southern Border, and they will want the Afghan's to stay put in Germany, Spain, Qatar, and Uzbekistan, there was already 2.2 million Afghan refugees in Pakistan, and 3.3 million  more are being forced to leave or live under Taliban rule.  WHERE will they go?  It will become a humanitarian nightmare  really fast.  And when they get here which side will they be on?  OH yes they will have to chose. 

When Biden tries to ask congress for money to help, JUST you wait and see what they say....its okay to spend trillions for war, but it sure wont be okay with them to help Afghan children, women, men, and families start over due to the mess we made.
