Signs of a Failed Administration

     So Steven Miller is once again in the news for sabotaging the processing of special visas for Afghans who helped us out during the last 20 years. People who face possible death if left behind to the Taliban's tender mercies. He helped fubar the process while Trump was negotiating with the Taliban in order to withdraw our troops. In this case, the right hand definitely knew what the left hand was doing. Steven Miller is one fucked up excuse for a human being. Must be that reptile DNA he has. 

Signs of Fire and Smoke

    Until recently we had fairly smoke free skies but the smoke has once again obscured the lake from view and made outdoor activities dangerous for your health. Did some stuff outside this morning before it got hot but that's about it. In the last 3+ months I don't think we've seen more that 5 or 6 days where the high temperature was under 100 degrees. We're also at Stage 3 for conserving water which adds to the enjoyment. All in all it's been a strange Summer unlike any I've experienced before.

Signs of My Last Day at Mendocino County

    Two hours to say goodbye today. A bunch of hugs. Thank you Brandie, Taylor, Yadira, Becky, Rachel, Pauline and last but not least Ms. Sunshine. Thanks for the wonderful parting gifts and words. It's been wonderful working with you to make this place a great place to work. Adios Amigos.

It's a Sign

    Last full work day from home. I'm up early as I couldn't sleep. Life is about change and this is a big one. Still haven't wrapped my head around it but a new adventure awaits. Bought us a 1995 F150 with a lumber rack and tool boxes that we'll be using to collect the materials we need to fix some things around the house. Got the free used windows for the greenhouse we're planning to build delivered by a neighbor who's planning on giving us his upright piano too. Nancy's finally getting the piano she wanted and he's delivering it gratis! Quite the start. 

    Here's a sign from the Right. Rand Paul's wife invested in the company that makes Remdesivir. A drug that Trump told us would cure Covid. She made the investment back in February 2020 and just reported it now. The sign is the fact that they lost money on their investment. Sad, so sad.

17 Days Until Retirement

Yep, I'm counting the days. 13+ years at the County of Mendocino served. Retirement activated. Like Tom Petty said,"The waiting is the hardest part".
