into the mystic

Bundle up kids.  It is blustery as all get out!  It was spit snowin' on the way home this afternoon after a bit of off and on rain and cold cold wind.  Which is still blowing!  I was at my friend's house today on the deck and heard a cat meowing above.  She doesn't have a cat so we were quite curious.  She's a survivalist so always has a sturdy ladder and here we go.  I spotted on the ladder and she rescued "somebody's cat with a collar" from the roof.  And promptly released him to go home!  UCMTSU  On the way to her house I passed a traffic mishap on Hwy 78N right around WallyWorld where two bigass Red Dodge Rams were boosting each other off with one very patient cop or two making sure it went well.  Lerd.

I watched TV nonstop all day yesterday because, like the rest of the world, I thought WTF.  Politics has turned very dangerous and our country is stretched to the limits with turmoil.  Political affiliation should not be a part of what we become.  Working together *with term limits* is a realistic goal.  It's all this big cat and mouse thing about who has power over whom according to our constitution.  We must evolve and change into non-partisan commune of independent thinkers.  Coulda. Shoulda.Woulda.

I am a dem when it comes to most everything that FDR stood for.  Yet I have conservative roots from when it was all like SEC football.  Lamar Alexander was a good guy then.  So was John Jay Hooker.  Phil Bredesen. Bill Lee?  Not so much.  Our state infrastructure is dying slowly but surely.  Tennessee's economic base is healthcare and tourism.  Both are dying on the vine.  Marsha is the devil and that's all I can say.  Same for DeVos.

I will never forget when the hospital in Cellina closed and my BF Trae did a piece about it.  He grew up there and it's a bunch of nothingness.  That's why he moved to a more progressive state like California! To become famous!  He never wavers on his views because he came from a rural environment where corporate just shut the whole thing down in TN.  And all the other rural areas.  Look at how many people from Arkansas were in the capitol yesterday.  You can't fix stupid.

On another odd note, my neighbor called to say she saw a ghost kind of guy hanging around my mailbox when she went out.  She described him vividly right down to the Navy coat and 'boggan.  Daddy was an Air Force man and always wore overalls and a cowboy hat so it wasn't him  Or maybe?  It was.

I love everybody and y'all are next ^j^
