The Bag Lady

It was a sad stroke of fate as Joe released his pressure on the gas pedal. The scared squirrel laid dying on the pavement, a redundant view on this country road. He didn’t see the creature, was going too fast because he was late—he was always late, and now he would be more so. His contribution to the annual family dinner was pies, the awesome concoctions made by his neighbor at the “Purely Pies” bakery she owned.

As he entered the family home he would settle in for the complete fit they would throw at him being late again. He expected them to complain as they did every year at Thanksgiving.

Her turquoise eyes submit the usual dissonance and this one female speaks to release the tension. The ordinary themes present in this awkward atmosphere promote false honesty, but I will stay with my own words to her. “How you doin’?”

She simply replies, “shh” and sits beside me.

Where should I start?

Delete now⚠️

Looking at an older post and it’s been half deleted? Having to re follow and re sign in every time I want to comment?

Waking up at five to cold and dark? Probably not but may be related—Cutting my finger badly so now both thumbs are painful and practically useless?

I can move into new place as planned on first but won’t be really finished till Christmas?

Having such a small keyboard on my phone I keep hitting I instead of O? (I think my subconscious is now controlling this😳🙄

Surrounded by boxes only to find all moving will be done in 24 hours on one day🤯

I’m not getting into the news at all, it would be overload 😟

Have a better week than I.

The news made me question my hearing. My outraged reply is no doubt an insult to the justice system and a compliment to the power of malfeasance that seems to prevail in these “modern” times.

Here lies yesterday’s beauty

Last revered as crowns on autumn trees

Their reign was brief

“We watched the trial and thought the prosecution did a good job. But many things happened that prejudiced clear thinking right away. The judge acted erratically. Every now and then he would stop reading and look around as if trying to understand what he, himself was doing. He outlawed any referral to the dead people as ‘victims’. But he allowed the protesters to be called rioters. The charge of being underage and having an illegal gun was dropped, which is one thing maybe could have got Rittenhouse some prison time.”

“At one point as the judge was reading the very long instructions (on each charge) taking over an hour, he stopped. He looked puzzled. He then said, sorry, I made a mistake. He had been reading some paperwork from a different trial he had been on. WHAT???? And then he let Rittenhouse draw the names of jurors that would not be used. Like he was the judge’s pet; a very unusual never-done thing. Simple little things, maybe, but could have swayed the jury.”

We are seeing this more and more, prejudiced judges and jurors. It is a disgrace. Not a shred of guilt? We can now expect more terrible acts done if there are no consequences.

Black is the color for our justice system when a crybaby sits on a witness stand and professes innocence in the shooting of three people, two of them dead, one horribly injured, with a semi automatic rifle. Video actually shows him deliberately running into the fray to do so…yet he is white, so acquitted. There is no gray area here, he is obviously guilty.

This is what the protests and riots are about. This has not been remedied. This is blatant prejudice which we as a nation are so guilty of. I cannot imagine the feelings of the victims’ families now. The judge should be ashamed and taken off the bench.

I would not be surprised to see a follow up news article that Rittenhouse has been shot himself. After a while people get tired of no justice and the results cause more violence.

Blustering winds

Cheyenne winter has begun

Pampas grass remnants flying

Joining autumn’s dry leaves

Shed this season, ready for snow.
