Yeah, I could sit here all day writing & bitching about all this crap going on, but it does no good. It's out of our hands. The few are screwing it up for the rest of us all. All you can do is vote for the "Least Idiot" & hope for the best!
We usually have a TV on for background noise all day long. Some days we have CNN or Fox or some blah...blah...blah...news channel on all day. I swear, 99 & 44/100% of it goes in one ear and out the other. I'm sitting here working on the computer and whatnot, the drone of the morons talking on the news channels is sort of, well, soothing. Maybe it's from working at my wonderful law firm for all those years, all that boring, err, soothing lawyer talk!
My time now is sitting on the little back balcony here, over-looking our forested acreage and taking in the scenery and wildlife. There's a big 'ol Dr. JB's Hummingbird feeder hanging there (one of 3 around the house) & the little buggers are there constantly. We have deer, raccoons, possum, bigfoot all sorts of birds...It's SO NICE here now, compared to the Capitol Hill rat race.
