Seems like every time I look at the news there's something else to derisively snort at. Greenland? Really? Firing half the IRS staff? Are you sure? And it seems like there's a lot of protesting going on, but no one really seems to be doing anything about it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for keeping my head down as much as the other guy, Bearing in mind there isn't a whole lot I can do from here. But you'd think... I don't know.. someone would have done something by now. Yet it keeps getting stupider and worse by the day.
Someone suggested the reason democrats lose is because they play by the rules, where the repubs don't or at least look for loopholes. I am beginning to think that this is true.
Meanwhile, veterans are being disrespected (I'm not one of those gung-ho war is great kind of people, but they do the job I wouldn't care to do, you know?), important healthcare stuff is being thrown out the window (Welcome back, polio and measles!), education is not only taking a back seat, it's been shoved in the trunk and the trunk has a hole in it.
The grumblings have been steady, but not very loud. Just remember. You're getting exactly what you voted for.
Moving on now.
This afternoon involved taking my plantling army and moving them to "bigger digs" (lol) . I am hoping to transfer them outside soon.... There's this metal cattle watering tank the roommate inherited as the city was getting rid of it. Once I get some soil to fill it up with (and some fencing to keep the critters out!) it will be all set for my pepper platoon. This will be a bit of a change from last year; last year's crop was grown in 5 gallon buckets, and while it did okay, the buckets didn't store enough water to make it feasible without having to water them every day once it got really hot. Hopefully this will help things.
I was hoping to have an early spring here in badhairland. Thursday the temps were in the upper 60s, almost 70. Yet here we are on a Saturday and it's not quite 30 and has been snowing a little off and on all day. Kind of an auspicious start to the season. Still, the days are getting longer--as I write, it's almost 7:30 and it isn't dark yet, although it will be soon.
My Monster plant sprouted a new leaf! I hope this means it's getting enough light where I have it sitting. It's too big to really put anywhere else in my room. I suppose I could get a plant light for it. We'll see how things go with the days getting longer.
Roommate got back from his vacation safely; he brought goodies for folks ( I got some Lindt chocolate! Yum! 😋) and had quite the adventure.
My car is... what can I say about my car? It's starting to fall apart. The pressure gage in the gas tank is wonky, meaning it thinks it's out of gas even after you fill it up. It will (hopefully) be fixed Tuesday.
Thanks for listen to me ramble! More good stuff soon!
Aye,
Kraneia
