to that point

The eternal argument continues as the Trump administration carries out more and more dangerous policies and expands the police state.  Recently the mayor and aldermen of Mason Tennessee voted for the reopening of a prison facility there to house people that ICE rounds up.  The citizens were against it but the money won out with the politicians.  Now the home of Bozo's BBQ will be a dropping off point for illegally arrested immigrants.  How convenient for West Tennessee!  Now there is a facility close to home for all the farm workers who supply us with food through Pictsweet and other businesses.  We are a blood red state with tons of MAGA and some pretty shady characters in office at the state level.  Like Tim Burchett and Andy Ogles, not to mention Republican senator Marsha Blackburn who has announced a run for governor.  Ugh.  

Meanwhile, Trump has thrown Vance under the bus by putting him in charge of ending the war between Russia and Ukraine.  I was very impressed with Zelensky and his posse for heading to the White House quickly and with purpose.  While watching that saga unfold, I got tickled at Governor Newsom's trolling of Trump's social media posting.  "THANK YOU FOR YOUE ATTENTION TOTHIS MATTER."  I had a boss once who ended every memo with that phrase.  I found it very passive aggressive.

The lastest heat wave is about to be history following weeks on end without rain.  Reaves gave me one of those litle pocket Jesus's that she collects and I have actually kept up with it until a couple of days ago.  I was antsy not knowing what happened to baby jeebus  and searched everywhere only to find him nice and clean in the washing machine.  Now he is back on the desk as I type.  He has a great smile.

Lauren rescued a baby bird from Rose the Huntress yesterday.  It appeared to have fallen out of a nest on the porch and Rosie is quick. LP carried it around sweet talking dat baby while its'family squawked and dive bombed the front porch where said cat was located.  We never found the nest to return baby bird so I hope he made it.  There are no feathers on the porch so there's that.

Labor Day is coming up which means the kickoff of the Dyer County Fair and my 70th birthday month.  I am very ambivalent about being that old, but grateful to still be alive.  

So here's to fall and punkin' spice.  Long may she rein, until it's time for apple cinnamon at Christmas.  Some things never change.

Keep the faith and remember who you are ^j^
