Some think the situation is lopsided only because they think there are two sides. There is not. There is only one, with two faces to it. The evil face, and the stupid face. Together, they give the offended crocodile smile of the parasite class.

First time on the river this season.  Spring run, VERY heavy current and real high water.  Most of the rocks we normally have to avoid were frightfully hidden.  We went anyway... dumb.

Near capsized when we got between a high current and a stuck anchor.  Engine too small to even get us across the river.  Trolling motor battery crapped out.  Ugh.

That's why it's called 'shakedown'.  Now we have our list.

Ohhh those Jooos are evil racists for having a death penalty (Enacted two years ago and never applied.  Zero bodies in the stack.   Every other middle eastern nation have had frequently used death penalties for all of time, but they use it in enlightened fashion.  Not those Jooos.  No, them snicky joos ain't executing people like those Iranians do (2000+ in the last two years.   Snicky Joos is upta sumpin by not killing people like the Iranians do.

"You won't vote for KaMAla because she be a African American woman!"

Yeah, I have three things to say about that.

1)  KaMAla isn't African.  Her family is Caribbean.  Nor is she American in any way I can see.

2) She's a woman?  How can YOU tell?  Are you a biologist?  What is a woman?

3)  I won't vote for her because she's mean, degrading, and dumb as a rock.  Not even a shiny rock.  A dull rock.

Next question?

Dept of Ag was here this morning.  Nice young lady took test material from each bird we have.  Results should be back by this evening.  Either they come slaughter everything, or it's something milder than Avian Influenza and we just lose some to a cold.

Ambitious to-do list, at least for me.  3:30 pm, step goal far exceeded, and I'm mostly wiped for the day.   Honestly?  I'm at the point where I'm no longer sad for what I *used* to do, and I'm simply grateful I can still do what I can.   A few years back I was convinced I'd be a ghost by now, so every day still kicking is a bonus.

**********************************

Memories abound this morning.  Long ago, there I wuz....

Running a small shop for someone.  The shop owner was making his weekly visit, and noticed a piece of tape I had placed on the back of the service counter.  Only we could see it. On it, I had written '$1.36'.

"What is that for?" he asked.

I replied "I went through the most recent P&L report.  That is how much money I need to bring in every single minute that door is unlocked and we are open for business.  That's break even, before we make any money".

'Huh..." was his answer.

***********************************

I'm told that saying "I'm sure you get exactly what you have earned" is threatening and mean.

Um.... why?

This morning, there I wuz.....

Stripping old line from four reels, and installing new. The way I had to sit on the chair to make that work was odd, and caused havoc in my hip. When I got up, I found myself hopping because that hip didn't work for a moment.

I was doing the Hip Hop.

The day for sorting, cleaning, and organizing the tacklebox is here.  For having so much fishing crap, we have surprisingly little fishing crap.  Once it's laid out anyway.

The lures we have, few they are, are going into the ultrasonic for a bit.  Not the plastics, of course.

Later, once it warms a bit, I'll clean and service the rods and reels.

A) Slept for first time in days.  Almost human.

2) Weight gain is a bad indicator.  Fluid retention. Bad juju.

C) Face down in the garage yesterday. Tripped on a jack handle, as one does. Need two hands to count the hurty things this morning.  Think I will mostly just sit and relax.

40 years dancing over jack handles in shops, and I get nailed in my own garage.  Irony...

Being reported that the Trumpster is 'directing' that DHS employees be paid at once, flying in the face of Schumer's extortion attempt.   Yeah, it will be cool to see which judge the tribe taps to order all those people NOT be paid for their labor.  Then again, the Democrats whole party was built on championing slavery.

Thought occurs.  DHS has over a quarter million employees, and all of them have missed a paycheck. About 100,000 are exempted, and required to work even with no pay (See that slavery again?).  I wonder... will that be over a quarter million people with Schumer hate on their mind when they go to vote?

AND..... one day later, before Trump could pay DHS, Chuckles caved and the Senate passed DHS funding.  Of course, they also piled up a mountain of lies while claiming they 'won'.  Truth is they 'won' a lot of pissed off voters and gained not one bent farthing of what they demanded.

*****************************

Stray thought.  The current Schumer extortion shutdown reminds me of when my (now Ex) wife tried  to con me into giving her my paycheck every week.  She had her plan all written out... how I would live in her basement for 'free' and give her everything I made.  That made sense to her somehow.  "Everything will be fine if you just do what I tell you. Everything you make me do can stop" Quote/unquote.

*****************************

This seems to be a blatant case of 'We can do whatever we want, but YOU are not allowed to TELL people what we do.  That would be raaaaasist!'.
