The Bag Lady

Usually when someone is going to speak about something controversial they say “I hate to say this. . .but” and then voice their opinion.

I do not hate to say this: I am ashamed of any woman in Congress who votes to put Amy Barrett into the Supreme Court.

This week I am rewatching a Marvel series, “Daredevil”. He is my favorite Marvel comic book character and the series is on Netflix. Warning: It is very violent and dark.

Oh, that’s a bunch of bunk! You nerds would believe anything, but it’s all science fiction, the operative word here, gentlemen, is fiction! Your arguments about HG Wells, J Verne, G Orwell, sure, they were right sometimes, but mostly it was just conjecture. If there was a planet near us like this, don’t you think NASA would have told us by now?

Not really, especially if they knew the creatures that lived there were omnivores!

Joe just shook his head, hearing them laughing. The “documentary” was absolutely a fake, using CGI. He was going to bring up that point just as he heard a noise in the backyard. Joining his brothers, they investigated. On the lawn was a Jestsons type vehicle and two tiny beings stepped onto the grass.

Hi there! We’re your new neighbors from Quadrant Two!

Early morning bloom

Still wet from last eve’s shower

Dewdrops add beauty

Apple bobbing was the delight of many a suitor in England. Which young maid would be the next to marry? Strong sharp teeth were not only admired, but necessary in this event.

🍎🍎🍎

Seek the largest fruit

Choose the ripest spot to clench

Dooking wins a man

I never thought it could be

Mother Nature acting weird

Early autumn, now there’s snow

Where did the summer go?

Might she feel the same as we

Befuddled and bewitched to see

That climate used to be her thing

Now people rule this circus ring

Hurricanes, fires blaze

Drought and floods–a weird phase

It’s as if a mighty curse

Has made all weather worse.

From this:

To this

In a week. Happy shoveling, Wyoming 🥶

I was looking up traffic cameras this morning for road conditions and thought this was an interesting photo of Interstate 80 that runs about a half mile from my apartment. The photo is of the I80 highway on the western county line. You can see the Rocky Mountains in the background. We have a lot of snow in town and the temp is 5 degrees F.

If anything is gathered from this photo at all, with trucks and a train, these are definitely essential services, moving goods, etc. across our nation. Cheyenne is a hub and this illustrates it well I think. These drivers and conductors deserve our respect and gratitude.

You could expand the disorder, stretch the truth, follow the order of the president to stand by and be ready with threatened violence, or vote to topple the anarchy and chaos present in our government. There are voter intimidators out there, but stand your ground! The truth is there. You have to look for it and disbelieve false allegations.

Word Prompts from http://www.octpowrimo.com/

The burgers, the fries, the salad digested

It was time for dessert to be fested

A celebratory delight for sure

This neighbor’s head has its allure

No more complaints for not cutting the lawn

No more yelling at my demon spawn

Oh yes, I will delight in my feast

And then be rid of this neighborly beast.

Is this your singular triumph? It was a kid’s toy floating above the city! Even grand UFO hoaxes cannot wilt or crack your enthusiasm. I realize your faith in the unknown endures and cannot be denied, but geez!

While government studies trim the dry facts of this sighting, you will stretch it in your mind to believe the truth is out there, but you make me laugh in that foil hat!
