In My Mind's Eye

  I know, I'm failing.  I have bosses who have massive amounts of use it or lose it holiday/comp time.  They are being forced to take whole weeks off, which means, I have to step in and play boss.  This translates to Amy is not overly available for anything but work.  My poor chinchilla has had to postpone his moving plans (from a cozy cottage to the penthouse suite) because mom doesn't have time to put his new house together.  There's a 200 pound cage in my dayroom, still in the box. My middle daughter has had to pick up the slack, doing many things I should be doing, but can't, because well..work. So while I have a few minutes I thought I would take a moment to put together a post to tell you all about a new endeavor said middle daughter and I are trying out. We've noodled the idea around for a year, but have finally decided to give a weekly podcast a try.  We will most likely attempt to run it through Facebook or Youtube, but the odds of us getting jailed are pre

  As I stated last week, this will become a regular feature.  There are several reasons for that.  One is that I don't have the time to write up a full length blog on one subject every week.  I may still write one occasionally, but the research required for those is a lot harder than plucking a few headlines and writing a paragraph about each. This week Congress finally got around to passing the stimulus bill that was so important during the election.  They had to impeach the former President first for a riot he didn't start and then they had to take a short vacation.  Turns out there is less stimulus and more giveaways.  We are bailing out underfunded union pension funds, New York City and San Francisco, art museums (again), and various other things that have little or nothing to do with COVID and the American people.  That is not to say that some of these things shouldn't be taken up, as a matter of course, just that cloaking them in COVID relief is kind of...icky.  There

It's morning, and the odds of me finishing this post before I have to go unload a 420 case truck are slim and none.  I'm not even sure what I'm writing about other than the news tidbits over the last few days.  What I do know is that many Biden supporters should be scratching their head right now.  So let's take on just a few of the things in the news. Dr. Seuss, or at least some of his books, have been cancelled.  "I think I saw it on Mulberry Street" is going for the affordable price of $1600 on Amazon last time I looked, but my guess is, it will be banned from sale on Amazon like other books recently.  Want to make a book no one was talking about popular?  Ban it from Amazon.  Currently, "When Harry Became Sally" has a hold line longer than Harry Potter when it first came out at my local library.  If the goal was not to let people read the book, it failed.  I imagine in the next few weeks, Dr. Seuss books will be raking in the dough as people clam
