There are many difficult choices we must make. The best decision is to go to the Maker's Mark distillery. At the end of the tour (just like when you're allowed out of Disneyland), out comes the best of the best. It's only sold on the Trail and worth a memory and a brain cell to check it out.

We had a bad hailstorm today and I went out to check on Bonnie, who was hiding out under the trailer. It was so cold and windy I decided that I would pick her up and carry her into the garage, where it's warm and safe.

She immediately ran back outside into the storm.

So sorry about that! Have you tried putting some towels under there? In a plastic tray? You probably have - I just hate it when they won't let you help them. She will, though! Just not yet.

She's got her own little safe space inside the Jeep, but I'd imagine the sound of the hail hitting the roof was just too much for her and she bailed.

I am long done pretending to fit in with the compliant... actually , I’m enjoying my increasing presence as “ she who was apparently right.” I would love to have a $ for every eye roll given to my assessment of COVID and the vaccines....

Good luck collecting. My former "friends" who disowned me when I said C-19 wasn't a big deal still won't take my calls.

I was not evangelical about it. Mostly my opinions were offered when people expressed their scorn at my unwillingness for umpteen boosters and refusal to get a flu shot. I would simply respond “ THEY told us if we got the vaccine, we would not get COVID and yet we all did, so I don’t trust them.” I’m not an anti vaxxer but I’ve always believed in the strength of my own immune system. I always said “ I’ll wait until I’m older.” Well, I am older and I don’t like the current buffet of recommended shots. The Govt lost me pretty early on when they unconditionally banned two treatments both of which I had taken when I was much younger, HCQ for Lyme and anyone hit with Montezuma’s Revenge in Mexico most likely were given Ivermectin. The bizarre “ absolutely verboten” threats made against doctors who used them told me “something ain’t right.”

Absolutely agree. HCQ has been prescribed for decades as a treatment both for malaria and systemic lupus. We don't know why it works, but that is true for many medications. Hydroxychloroquine has turned out to be far safer than than the Pfizer vaccine.

Also, for Rheumatoid arthritis....patients take HCQ twice a day in a higher dose, every single day.

I'm the token blood relative of a patient with systemic lupus (our younger daughter, who died of complications this past summer). I have never taken HCQ; my RA pain is fully controlled with naproxen sodium, although nothing works on the fatigue.

It may be the unsettling influence of having space aliens entering America's air space through the portal that opened when scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility achieved cold fusion; but I just heard from a friend of 60 years who abandoned me twelve months ago because of my feelings regarding #FJB. Suddenly, he wants to be friends again.

Metaphysical and Psychic Events are beginning to manifest themselves.

Stock up on shells, bullets, body armor, tuna fish, peanut butter, and start gardening. I am planning for the best - asparagus takes awhile to develop.

Quick weird add- I care not one whit for football, but I thought it was crazy cool that the same dude had been doing the turf for EVERY Superbowl since there ever was superbowls.

He has a couple weird nicknames, like TurfGod and The Turf Father ( or something like those) but the dude is 94! Still oversees the laying of each superbowls grass!

Please give me potatoes for Valentines day, Yall...- However- only heirloom varieties,please! I've yet to grow enough to do anything but have seed potatoes for next year 😔

Happy St Valentine’s Day, Sim! We’ll be going out tomorrow night, but not to one of those overcrowded and over-rated places. It will be eclectic and intimate.

As for potatoes, we already grow those as well as countless other foods, so the Mr. will not be giving me potatoes...haha

I'm not gonna get over-excited over that huge charitable donation until I find out how the guy made his money. I've had a little too much experience of the rich of that origin area and their lavish displays of generosity while the day-to-day is often pretty grimly exploitative.

But I am very grateful for the sacrifice of this Mexican disaster rescue dog. May every juicy treat be his in the Wherever, forever and ever amen.

I totally understand. Just the least little thought about ANY harm to a dog makes me cry. The guide dogs make me cry, because they do such a good job taking care of their people. Lost or abandoned dogs make me cry for obvious reasons, and because I can't help them all. 😢😭😢😭

I had to be careful not to accidentally watch those ads for the ASPCA [or Humane Society?] with Sarah McLachlan from a few years ago because they were unbearable.

We gotta hope for justice, on another plane and sufficient to wipe away the memory of what happened here [for all the innocent, no matter how many legs they got], because otherwise it's a little hard to get through.
