Some random thoughts and questions. Here is a minor one as things go, but it does have to do with the quality of life for some people in my association and nearby ones as well. For some time we have been asking for an additional bus stop so a long walk to the closest one would be alleviated. Well, one would think we were asking for the world. We have extra guest spots that are really not used and turning several over is not a problem. So..... we have now heard from Ed Black that it is illegal to cancel guest spots - Nope, it is not. We checked with an attorney. Hmmm. Now we find that the bus cannot back up for legal reasons as there could be a complication should a person walk behind and get struck. So what? It is not a problem if one is struck head on by a bus? And what about all the other vehicles that back up such as EMT trucks, Connection, Palm Tran, the sanitation trucks, visiting trucks and incidentally, the bus would now have the room to turn around as we are giving up the three spaces and it is a dead end. Our building and next door Andover would have a closer bus stop. So....why the hassle. Guess who lives in my association? ME!!!!!! Not only am I not allowed to be in UCO, but we have "collective" punishment for my presence. Lovely!!
Next. We have policemen who fire upon hearing a loud noise? That is justification for shooting and killing an innocent woman who called 911 - and this while the cops were sitting in their car - did not even get out to investigate the complaint?! What the hell!!
It took the compassion and courage, the moral ethics and values of three women to stop this Trumpcare in its track and kudos to them. Long may they be in office .Their states are all problematic, be it for the opioid situation or high unemployment or vast in space. Murkowski of Alaska, Capito of West Virginia, and Collins of Maine. Good for them!!! Men - where the hell are you? With that idiot Cruz? Yes, there are issues with Obamacare, but they can be fixed and one does not throw out that proverbial baby with the bath water!
Guess how much money we are spending a month to rent space for the military at Trump Tower in NY, especially when the man is hardly there. Too busy visiting his golf resorts, like 54 times already!!! Anyway, $130,000 a month. Yup, you read it right. But we gotta' cut that healthcare budget, right! And ethics be damned.
Or how about this one? Ethics be damned and lies full speed ahead. You know that 'minor' glitch of collusion with the enemy, you know the one that is now enriching the lawyers at great cost to the Trump family and friends? Yup, the one that Spicer still maintains was about adoptions and there is no way to prove otherwise? Uh huh, that one. The one that Trump says he knew nothing about but anyway, it was only politics. This from the man who says he is not a politician. Maybe. But he sure as hell is an incompetent, nasty old man who lies as easily as zipping up his pants - oops, need another example, That one is too hard for him - well as easily and naturally as breathing. Anyway, now we find out that so far there are eight lovelies at that meeting - up from two and who knows how many more, but wait, there's more. At the G-20 meeting, you know, the one where Ivanka sat in Daddy's chair like a big girl, well, Daddy took himself off to have another undisclosed meeting with his best bro, Putin. I kid you not. This man is truly a traitor or an idiot and in either case, not good for us. Needs to go, my friends. Impeachment anyone?
And then we have a world now where one driving with a broken headlight or taillight finds life upside down. Grabbed, no more to return home and why? Because they are undocumented aliens working in dairies or fields or roofing or some other "dirty" job that no American wants and the 'Gestapo' of Sessions and Trump have decided they are to go. Maybe in the foreign countries to where they are deported they need to apply for new jobs at the factories that make Ivanka's clothing or sell so much to Trump and his hotels? Never mind the Made in America slogan for them! Our generals are warning us about the possibility of a rogue drone or robot killing humans - lovely thought that - fantasy into fact? And that crazy dude over there in North Korea is holding public executions for the horrific crimes of taking copper from a factory, or coming from a bad family background, or distributing media from South Korea. At least here so far the media is just called names, like Fake Media or liars! By the liars themselves, but that is for another day.
Just random thoughts of an early morning. Think I will go look at some of the pictures from all the family visits we have been having. Much more pleasant and rewarding. Life is not a bowl of cherries - but then again I like other fruit better. There is always an alternative if we do not like something - and that is to fight for what is right and so help me, I am trying.
