heavy air

Lord y'all.  We are getting a good dose of humidity around here and it's killing us all!  And it's only May.  Thank the lort for AC and Forked Deer Electric.  We are both sick with something like the epizootie.  Seasonal allergies, if you will.  

Since my phone died we have been playing catchup with Google to get my apps and contacts.  It's like a 24 hour wait to recover an account so there was no laptop or phone usage until yesterday.  And now the stupid phone is stuck on a stupid game and I don't know how to restart.  A new phone is like a new relationship.  You cannot rush things.  

I read a story today about xAI in South Shelby County around Boxtown and Whitehaven.  Even when I lived in metro Memphis, many years ago it was an industrial wasteland.  The residents of that are are worried about emissions from the Musk supercomputer center and rightfully so.  There is a strong history there of survivors and middle class folk who need to breathe.  If I'm having trouble here in the Northwest, I suspect there is some drift.  Winds are from the southwest today.  We have already had one storm today, a quick one.  I was eating breakfast with three guys who love me and the waitress was steady watching the radar.  They had plans for the morning so I came back to the house.  One of our local legacy farmers has started a rice business so they went to check it out.  

Meanwhile, the circus continues.  Ir sounds like Noem is about to follow the money to a reality show like her boss.  The entire notion of dangling that kind of completion just to "speed things up" disgusts me.  There are avenues for becoming a citizen without that sort of theatrics.  There were, but now they are gone.  I have been watching the hearings and see several Republicans that I have respect for due to their honest opinions that things aren't right.  Rand, Lisa and Susan just to name a few.  My prayer is that more of them will listen to their constituents and do the right thing for the people that elected them.  I do believe that their party is waking up somewhat.  Midterms are coming kids.  

I'm a not gonna' rant much more about the shitshow.  It robs me of my joy and takes my attention away from real life.  What is happening now is not real life by any means.  

Y'all watch out for twisters and be safe ^j^
