Yesterday was another busy day for everyone. I picked Lori up at work at 5 and we headed to Marty’s for his birthday dinner. Earlier in the day I went to Walgreens for the Shingles shot. I talked to Robi on the way who said both her and Robert’s arm hurt when they had theirs. Sure enough, my arm is sore too. Nothing bad but I can definitely feel it when I move my arm.
This morning Lori has an appointment with Dr. Gnurke for her headache. It’s the first step in fixing her that will end up with 2 or 3 ADR’s or artificial disc replacements. I’m off to Denver to get the truck serviced and pick up some wine from the distributor. I’m also meeting up with Toby who sold a few high-end pistols for me for $10k. Time to thin the herd a bit.
While in Denver I’ll grab some groceries for Ty and drop those off. He’s doing well and Jag is super busy. We finally secured a garage for Jagger at his apartments so he can park his car inside during the winter. It’s like $140 a month but well worth it.
Politics is crap as usual. Who are these people? Yesterday the stock market had the worst day of the year and the inflation numbers came out and were really really bad, and Biden had a celebration at The White House for his so-called inflation reduction act. It’s like we’re living in bizarro World. Denver just announced they’re giving “guaranteed universal income” to homeless people. I’m actually ok with this IF certain requirements are met like the person receiving it, has to get a job and has to stay off booze and drugs and submit to drug tests. If so, go ahead and give them the $12K you want to give them to give them an opportunity to get a leg up. But if there is no accountability, we’ll just be throwing away more money. People don’t really understand what’s going on. What you can buy for let’s say $200 today, you could buy for about $140 less than 36 months ago. Get that? Let that sink in. Your money is worth close to 2/3’s of what it was in 2019! Now do you get it? You’d better as if you don’t, we’ll all be in real trouble. You need to vote for whoever will stop the administrations runaway spending and in most places that means Republicans. Now to be fair, I think they’re part of the problem too. We need term limits. It’s not hard to figure out, it’s just hard for some people to believe it as a lot of people believe ANYTHING they see on tv and the propaganda machine is operating at full power. God help us.
Make it a great day, last weekend of summer is coming up in a few days, God Bless.
