End of the Weekend

Memorial Day and a small-town parade and remembering those who sacrificed all they had.  And spending time with the kids and grandkids and working on some projects and doing the maintenance for the summer.  And this and that.  Camera Girl’s honey-do list and some foul-ups opening up the pool and work on the vegetable garden.

And before you know it the weekend is over.  But we did get a chance to go to an ice cream store that makes ice cream from their own cows’ milk and it’s so rich that it’s hard to stand up after you’re done eating it.  And I snuck up on some of the turkeys that wander through my fields.  Those things are prehistoric.  I really can see how they’re related to dinosaurs.

And we hosted our grandson’s sports team’s end of season party and they had a good time playing pool and volleyball and eating mass quantities of Italian food.  Wow, I remember when I could pack away food like that.  Now I think it might kill me outright.  Youth is a remarkable gift but only the old appreciate it.  The young just take it for granted.  And that’s as it should be.

I’m getting together with the Coffee Walk Committee next Friday.  It should be interesting.  One of the guys I haven’t spoken to in a couple of years.  It will be interesting to get his take on the old firm and what finally drove him out.  The stories I hear from the old gang aren’t encouraging.  It’s all the classic signs of the social justice convergence.  Supposedly the constant drumbeat of diversity, inclusion and equity (DIE) is driving out the straight white men but also making everyone else who just wants to do their jobs crazy.  And even with the economy beginning to slip pretty badly, good people are leaving.  People just get tired of making believe they agree with the talking points.  My favorite was how this engineering manager explained how diversity being a strength had been proven empirically.  He was claiming that there was scientific proof that hiring people by the color of their skin was measurably superior business wise.  It’s remarkable what Big Brother can get an otherwise intelligent man to say.  Well, he has a wife and kids and a job he wants to keep.  I guess he can do without his integrity.

One of the regulars here sent me a link to a study done by the World Health Organization (WHO) that admitted that there was evidence that the COVID vaccine causes multiple sclerosis.  So, let’s see.  Blood clots, stroke, myocarditis and now multiple sclerosis.  That’s impressive.  Even cigarettes haven’t been linked to all of those.  Only the first two.  Should be interesting to see if the scientific community finally admits that the “vaccine” was an atrocity and all involved criminals.  But maybe I assume there is any honesty left in “science.”

Well, the week begins and we’ll be busy with our own things.  But of course, we’ll make time to read about the Keystone Kops in Washington stealing everything in sight and the boycotts of the various woke corporations.  Stay tuned.
