Sometimes… Thre are places that are just bad JuJu!

One of those places for me is the Wrightwood Market in my little town.

For the 35 years I’ve lived here. Every single time I’ve tried to do business with this place it’s been a cluster fuck.

Every time I’ve gone there for gas, they’ve been out.

Every time I dropped in for smokes (when I smoked) they were out of my brand.

Every time I’ve stopped in for literally anything they’ve been out or their card readers were down or their cash register was broken.

This trend continued right to today.

I needed 2 gallons of gas. We’ve got some snow coming in, I needed to fill the gas can so that I’d be able to run the snow blower. It’s a simple thing … but an impossible task.

Pulling out of my driveway, I thought, “Drive down the hill, or buy the fuel in town.” A message popped up on my phone saying that it would be raining within the hour so I decided to try the Wrightwood Market.

There was a truck, a jeep from Texas, and me, In one lane. A van and a small car in the other gas lane. The truck was filling his tank, probably a double tank, it was taking a while. No big deal… I could wait.

Suddenly the Texas asshole slams it in reverse and starts backing up. I hit the horn, then put my car in reverse. There’s damn little maneuvering room in their parking lot and for me to back up meant I’d have to back out into traffic.

The Jeep stops.

Then some bitch from the market comes out and tells me that I need to back up so the jeep can leave. I told her my problem was that the jeep started backing up without looking and that was why I’d laid on the fucking horn.

Why was she treating me like I was the bad guy? I’ve actually had a dumbass back up onto a car I was driving. I sure as hell wasn’t going to have it happen again.

It was at this moment that I snapped. 

I’m fucking tired of having to accommodate everyone else. I’m tired of impatient  dumbasses.

I decided, “fuck it”, I’ve not spent money with these people for 35 years why should I break a streak. Then I started to work my way out of the lot only to have another moron pull in as though to park, then stop. 

Blocking me and everyone else in the fucking drive.

I motioned for the new dumb fucker to pick a damn direction. Once he moved out of the way, I drove down the hill to get gas, as I should have done in the first fucking place.

So It cost me 2 gallons of gas, to get two gallons of gas and 45 minutes in time when it should have taken 10 minutes. 

It occurred to me, I like my house, I like my view, I like my yard. I don’t really like the difficulties of living here.

It’s tough to get any kind of work done, septic, painting, repairs, whatever, it’s always a pain in the ass. Add the issues with getting mail, the fact that depending on which map is used, this part of the town exists in no less than three other towns, each 15 miles or more distant. That the street I live on is, in an indeterminant state. The county says it’s private when they don’t want to maintain or repair the damage they’ve done, but happily exert their easement rights and drive heavy equipment over it all the damn time.

And well, it’s tipping the balance and making the thought of leaving the house, the memories and the town not such a bad idea.

Better to leave while I have good memories of this place and the time I spent here than have those memories destroyed.

The area is changing, the neighborhood is changing, the town is changing, and honestly not for the good. Hesperia, a local town has the worst driving in all of California.

Moving here was a respite from what was happening to California. It’s taken 30 years for my little town to catch up with the rest of California, but here we are.

When I moved here, part of it was about my other half being here and happy. Coming here also was like me returning to the Midwest. But I was still able to commute to my job in LA or Orange County.

Commuting isn’t possible anymore due to traffic volume and poor planning.

The problems of California are here. I feel like I did just before I met Jerry. I was heading out, my plan was to go back to a place where the rules made sense. 

Perhaps it’s just time to go.

I’m being mean I know, BUT…

I have been enjoying the hell out of Trumps first week in office.

If the Democrats stay this mad for much longer, they’re going to have aneurysms. Not that I’d shed too many tears about it.

CNN is laying off, Deportations are ongoing, Jim Acosta may lose his prime time slot and possibly his job. The J6 folks are free as are the pro life protestors who prayed at an abortion clinic.

I caught an article today saying that Klaus Schwab was big mad at the people in the United States for re-electing Trump. Apparently he thought the lock was in with Kamala and since she’s so weak willed, I’m betting he expected her to sell us out to the WEF and make him king of the world.

We pesky Americans! We just will not submit to being ruled. Klaus told the WEF that perhaps we shouldn’t be allowed to have elections anymore. We’re just too unpredictable.

This is coming second hand from a whistleblower who’s at Davos.

Sorry, when this guy and his buddies, all dress in robes that look like something out of a SciFi movie it gives me pause.

I mean their outfits look like the traditional outfits that the bad guys in such movies wear.

Come on, this screams “I’m the bad guy!” All he needs is some dark and foreboding entrance march.

What the hell are they dressed as?

Anyhow, I think the enemy might be the WEF. Their minions in the form of whatever old Klaus is funding are already here in the states. Schwab commented on a number of “Black Swan” events happening in 2025. Trouble is, Black Swan events are by definition unpredictable so why would Klaus say he was expecting not one, but multiples in one single year?

Maybe it’s a good thing we got Trump.

It’s nice to see common sense, prevailing. I’m not sure about pulling the US out of NATO but I’m pleased he pulled us out of the Paris Climate shit. I’m glad he’s sending illegals back to their countries of origin.

Hey, at least they didn’t have to walk…

I heard this evening that Mexico is refusing the shipments. Isn’t that interesting? 

I’m glad to see the border being closed, I’m also glad that those people being returned are telling their countrymen it’s not worth the trip and that immigration is all over the place. I’m not meaning to be a bastard about this, but wait your freaking turn folks… The illegal crossers just screw up the world for the people who’ve been standing in line to come here legally.

I also like that Trump is moving so fast with so many of the changes and executive orders. Before Democrats read that, and say, “the courts will overturn those executive orders.” I’d like to remind them, Biden forgave student loans, the court said, “You can’t do that,” and Biden did it again.

Where was your outrage then?

If the court says, “No, you can’t do that to Trump,” I think he’d be well within his right to behave exactly as Biden.

I’m for the stipulation Trump set on Federal funding to California too. I think he rightly sees the root cause of the problems being an effectively single party state. So he say, I’ll give you federal funding, but you need to enact Voter ID and divert a lot of the water that runs into the ocean now, back into California.

Seems simple. I’d like to have voter ID in California. I think that would solve a number of issues an it would be interesting to know once and for all if the poor choices in government officials are the result of cheating or stupidity.

DOGE is cutting bullshit studies and programs. They’ve got a slot on USDebtClock.org showing how much they’ve saved. It’s here if you’re interested.

There was a list describing just some of the things they’ve cut. There was a Department of football huddle. They were supposed to regulate the symmetry of football huddles and had the capacity to fine teams that didn’t measure up.

Uhhh really??????? I hope to God that’s a parody. Thus far I can’t confirm or deny it. The sad part is that I wouldn’t be surprised in the least.

Petty assed bureaucrats would try to institute a masturbation tax or fee, if they could figure out how to monitor everyone. There’d be special waivers for minorities and anyone pumping a load into a cup at a sperm bank.

Hegseth was just confirmed as Secretary of Defense. I’m sure a lot of jackasses in the pentagon are shitting themselves right now.

It’s wildly inappropriate but I’d like to see Hegseth rip his shirt off, grab a sword, and yell, “Y’all are righteously FUCKED NOW!!!!” He can’t but I think it would be epic.

Once he gets rid of a bunch of dead weight in generals, I’m hoping he’ll flush the bullshit projects that have been running for 20 years, produced nothing, cost billions, are already obsolete, and not even close to producing a working prototype.

I’m looking forward to week two.

Maybe the CNN, ABC, NBC, & CBS reporters, and this vile bitches on The View will start dropping with heart attacks, since they’re so pissed off. That would be entertainment!

What a beautiful day Tuesday was.

I slept very soundly Monday night. I woke up feeling pretty happy. I was looking for mean tweets over my morning coffee, but didn’t find any. 

I guess it’s going to take a few days before those become a regular thing again.

I don’t know how to describe it, I felt a sense of relief. As I’ve said, Trump is no angel, he’s certainly not the second coming.

But he’s not Biden!! He’s not Harris! 

He is a mostly successful businessman who understands cash in / cash out and making sure that you get something for the investment you make.

TRUMPSigning EO.The Paris Climate accords for example skew charges and fees toward the wealthier western countries taxpayers, and allow emerging countries to pay less, and pollute more, when they could be building their infrastructures from the ground up to be cleaner.

It makes no sense for China and India to build industries that they’re just going to have to retrofit in 20 years & no doubt by then, the Western Nations will have to pick up the tab for the retrofit too.

It’s a bad investment. Not that being responsible and minimizing pollution is a bad investment, but being on the hook to pay disproportionate carbon taxes does not serve the US Tax Payer.

The United States is already one of the least polluting nations on the planet. Yes, we could make a case that planetary ecology concerns us all. That’s a true statement, however pumping trillions of dollars into foreign governments hasn’t proven to have the desired effect, pretty much ever.

There has to be another way. Perhaps making our cleaner technologies available to 3rd world nations at a discount, in exchange for raw materials?

I was really happy to see us pull out of the World Health Organization. Back at the beginning of COVID it was blatantly obvious that the WHO was compromised and only a puppet of China. 

More recently the WHO has made statements that concerned me and made demands that all nations submit to their mandates regarding the next pandemic. Their guidance, obfuscation, and mandates, including statements about not restricting travel to and from China arguably made the COVID pandemic worse.

Why quarantine people in their homes, but not quarantine travel from the country of a disease’s origin due to fear of being called racist? That’s not medicine, that’s politics.

The best part of the day was those 51 intelligence officers who certified that Hunter’s laptop was a fake,  and Miley having their security clearances pulled.

I blew water out my nose when that came on the TV.

I can hardly wait to see what he does today & tomorrow.
