Last night was the first night in a while Lori and I were home alone. Ty is coming up today (instead of yesterday) and Steve is now housesitting his partner’s house. We crashed out pretty early trying to catch up on sleep. This morning I have an MRI on my neck and Lori is off to Frisco. I was going to cancel the MRI as I’m feeling better but I hate to cancel on them, and we get it for virtually free so I might as well go.
Cleaners come tomorrow and Jag and Eva come up Friday for the weekend. Ty was having his friend Tony drive him up yesterday but Tony was sick. We told Ty to take the bus if Tony is sick as we don’t want him around here spreading germs.
Another shooting in Denver last night. This time a carjacking gone bad. Seems like a daily occurrence down there. Bad things used to happen only late at night but now things are happening at all hours. My Partner Brian just came back from a week in Tokyo and said he’d never seen a cleaner city. He said crime is almost non-existent, and that everyone was so nice and respectful. He said the city at night is super quiet and even the subways are too. I told him welcome home to the shit show. I used to think the news is just reporting things more but now I’m convinced, after looking at some statistics, that it’s just way more dangerous out there. What a fucked up society we are these days. Lucky we live where we live. If it was up to me, I could go even further out.
Almost time to start turning the heat on. We stopped using the A/C last week and are in that middle ground where we use neither right now.
Everyone is cancelling Russell Brand after he was accused of sexual assault from years ago. TV networks, Youtube and others have cut him off. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty? Apparently that no longer applies here in the U.S. if the left cancels you. Whether he’s guilty or not, no one should be ruined, financially and reputation wise, until they have their day in court. No surprise though as we’ve seen this over and over again in the past few years. It’s almost like the days of the Puritans and the witch hunts from 300 years ago. Unbelievable. Steve Martin, the comedian, was accused by some lady from something from decades ago last week! Come on, stuff from 30 or 40 years ago should not even be relevant today. Everyone, and I mean everyone, did stuff way back then that is considered not acceptable today. Lori and I were talking that she should go back and sue United Airlines and for sure should sue the Steadman Clinic as there was clearly sexual harassment there, just from the inappropriate jokes alone! Maybe we should, but then of course, we’d need to leave the Valley. None of this is cool as it could happen to anyone, even you! What a mess.
Oh well, time to go. 6:12 am now and that’s it for the day. Be well, stay safe, get ready for winter and God Bless.
