2020 was a nightmare from beginning to end and 2021 didn\u2019t begin any better.\u00a0 2021 started off as pure poison.\u00a0 But the naked fraud and inexcusable subverting of the law has disgusted and radicalized whole segments of the population that up until now were sleep walking through the coup.\u00a0 And what we\u2019ve seen for the last five months is the chickens finally coming home to roost.\u00a0 The combination of economic disaster, naked cronyism in the legislature and incompetence in multiple departments of the executive branch has turned the voting public against Dementia Joe and his lackeys.\u00a0 And 2022 promises to be even worse for these crooks and weirdos.\u00a0 It promises to be a disaster from beginning to end.\u00a0 And all of this bad news for the bad guys has given me the opportunity to sendoff 2021 in style.<\/p>\n
I just finished off the Christmas holiday exactly as I had hoped it would go.\u00a0 All of my grandkids were over today and after having a Camera Girl feast that included roast beast and all the fixings, I basked in the bright light of all that youthful energy.\u00a0 Most of the energy was dissipated shooting nerf projectiles at each other and the surroundings. \u00a0But there were some proceedings that I was qualified to join in.\u00a0 And there was a fun toy that they brought along.\u00a0 I bought the boys an Oculus virtual reality (VR) headset about two years ago.\u00a0 I asked them about it recently and they talked about a fun module that they could run on the headset and I asked them to bring it over for me to try.\u00a0 It\u2019s a simulation of a rollercoaster.\u00a0 Now it wouldn\u2019t occur to me that wearing a visor over my eyes would in some way simulate the sensation of motion that happens when you ride on a rollercoaster but so help me it does!\u00a0 The visual stimuli of riding around on a fast-moving car that is constantly changing direction and speed even convinces the pit of your stomach that you\u2019re climbing and plunging on the tracks of a coaster.\u00a0 I convinced Camera Girl to put it on but she has such extreme motion sickness that she yanked the headset off her face after barely ten seconds.\u00a0 She told me she would have been violently ill if she had waited any more time at all.\u00a0 Such a big baby!<\/p>\n
Then I convinced my little granddaughter to watch the old Disney movie Dumbo.\u00a0 She was very hesitant because she is marvelously sensitive to cinematic sadness.\u00a0 When the baby elephant was separated from his mother, I thought Princess Sack of Potatoes was going to burst out crying.\u00a0 I had to convince her to hang in there because there would be a reunion.\u00a0 Sure enough, once that occurred, she was enthralled by the song the mother elephant cooed to her child.\u00a0 Unfortunately, she had to go home before she got to see the happily ever after ending but she\u2019ll be back next week to finish it off.<\/p>\n
And the sum total of all the human interactions between kids, parents and grandparents over the course of two days of feasting, playing and talking was the perfect ending to a holiday that is the perfect ending to a year.\u00a0 With the kids off until after the New Year we\u2019ll get a chance to spend more time together to talk about high school and college decisions and their day-to-day doings.\u00a0 I recently sent the older boys a bunch of science fiction novels and apparently, they\u2019re were very favorably impressed with the stories so I\u2019ll get their feedback on these.\u00a0 And we\u2019ll play few games of pool now that they\u2019ve mastered the fundamentals of holding the cue and lining up a shot.\u00a0 And we\u2019ll spend the next week finishing off the leftovers from the feast.\u00a0 And they promised they\u2019d help me to figure out if there is an easy and inexpensive way to play Doom 2 on the Oculus VR system.\u00a0 I\u2019ve always wanted to revisit that video game without the restriction of having to use a joystick or keyboard to look behind my back for the monster that is always sneaking up on me in that game.<\/p>\n
So, all this will recharge my batteries to endure the colossal amounts of dishonesty and stupidity that will be on display by all the politicians who will make 2022 a veritable marathon of evil.\u00a0 After the fact, I see now what I missed during the COVID crisis.\u00a0 I was isolated from the things that make life worth living.\u00a0 Spending time with the people in your life that count is several orders of magnitude more important than all the other things you do with your time.\u00a0 Making sure there are people left who care about the things you care about is the justification for fighting against the Left.\u00a0 If we prevailed over the Left but those people were lost to us then none of it would personally benefit us.\u00a0 It would be at best an intellectual exercise and personally meaningless.\u00a0 So, I intend to enjoy my time off with loved ones and prioritize those activities right now.\u00a0 Later on, I\u2019ll get back to ranting about the losers who are out there mucking up this beautiful world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
