I expect NYC will turn into the ghost town that Detroit has become, except the refugees won't be fleeing for better suburbs. They'll be leaving for other states. I've seen people wondering why people from shithole places move to nice places and want to change them. That's WHY they're moving into the nice places... to change them into the shithole places they love.
Here, there was one thing on the ballot - raise the property taxes in a nearby city so they can give it to the fire department. It passed. A little while back, they had the same kind of ballot item for my rural FD and it passed, too. My FD used the money to erect a brand new, beautiful building... right next to the old building, which they then tore down. There wasn't anything really wrong with the old building, it was just not new. Whatever may have been wrong with it could've been fixed at a way lower cost and a dormitory could've been added on, again at a way lower cost. But they didn't have to do that because they can just add to our property taxes instead of finding a way to be fiscally responsible. That's the way government works these days, I guess. Well, most people these days, I guess.
I can't seem to muster the will to do anything these days. Except maybe vegging out in front of the TV. I think Bradbury warned about that. Probably others, too.
I've made 3c so far this month. Woot.
Finn's wandering around the house meowing. I feel ya, little dude.
Yesterday, I did Wallyworld. Everything is so damn expensive. Freakin' half-dozen donuts is about $4.50. Yeah, I bought 'em. Cuz I needed donuts. Custard filled with chocolate frosting. Mmm. I bought 'em with my own damn money, so yeah.
Yes, I am cranky, why do you ask? I have active bitch fingers to go with my resting bitch face.
On a happier note, we're seeing bucks. They're chasing the does and sometimes the fawns. The other day, I happened to look out the window to see a doe run across the neighbor's yard. Shortly after a fawn went by, trying to catch up. Then a buck went by. A few minutes later, another doe, then fawn, then... wait that's the same buck! A few minutes later, the three of them went by in succession again. They must've been running in a circle around the neighbor's house. I got up to tell Hubs about it, so I don't know how long they continued the race.
Okay, it's time to call the mama. Have as great a day as you can manage out there. I'll do the same. B'bye.
And New Jersey. I can't believe how stupid some people are.
ReplyDeleteHey, that's 3 cents more than I've made.
Speaking of fire departments, the NYC Fire commissioner quit after the jackhole won. All those idiots who think they'll be getting all the free things are in for a rude awakening.
I'm disgusted with politics. I was glad that yesterday was consumed with troubleshooting our internet and U-verse. Even after TV was restored, I didn't turn it on. Well, I did but that was to watch a program I'd DVR'd.
I have stable internet and TV. The tech who came out was all kinds of awesome. he was here like 4 hours. It's one of those tl:dr situations.
Now that I know what tl:dr stands for, I find myself using it a lot. Basically, it's internet code for "long story, never mind." Technically, it stands for Too Long: Didn't Read.
I did m,anage to write some and plan to write today. I need to catch up on comments to my posts and on X. Procrastinating that.
Not much else going on. Pretty weather. I should probably take a walk or something but I can't handle both dogs at the same time and PITA would tear up the house while Jake would just be really sad, like I'd abandoned him for the new kid.
Okay. Time for more coffee. Shoot! I also need to do laundry. Ugh. I forgot. Thursday is usually Wallyworld but LG had med appt. so I was going to do laundry today, WW tomorrow. 🤦🏼♀️ Yeah, definitely need more coffee.
Don't be a lump. Later, gator.
