It’s a weird time of year…

Last week it was in the 40s. Then suddenly the temp dropped a lot. It’s 26°F right now. I’ve cleared the decks and drive way as best I could. I cleared them yesterday and then it started sleeting which froze to the driveway and cleared decks.

So there’s this thin pebbled surface of ice under the light dusting of beadlike snow. Once you clear the beads you can’t go further. The best you can hope for is strong sunlight and maybe the temp getting to 35°F in hopes that the stuff melts otherwise it will become a super slick surface.

The apple tree hadn’t finished ripening the apples yet and now I fear they’re frozen. I suppose apple sauce is in my future.

There’s a couple of humming birds still in residence and I’m in a quandary about refilling the feeder or taking it down for the season. The humming birds are also giving me a look about the feeder being frozen. Sorry guys… not much I can do about it right now. If I refill it, It will probably freeze again.

Later in the week, it’s supposed to be nearly 50°F and the long range forecast suggests that it will be that way until Thanksgiving.

This transition time is always interesting to navigate.

So, am I a man without a country?

I hoped that Trump would remain in office.

Somewhere deep in my core I knew it wouldn’t happen. I can’t blame those who voted for Biden, even though they actually voted for Harris. Biden will be out quicker than you can say communism.

What choice did people have? They’ve heard nothing but how awful Trump is for the past 5 years. They’ve been told in a never ending, mind bending drone what a shitty president he is. Most folks never stop to think, analyze, or question what the news media tells them.

Now any failures of the new regime will be blamed on former president Trump’s policies. The continuing rioting will be blamed on him, (and of course angry conservatives… A.K.A White supremacists even though they’re not.) There is no margin for discussion.

Dissent with the approved narrative will be silenced with even greater zealotry. Social media, their censorship, and the all too willing lapdogs in the main stream media will drown out any opposition.

Biden will raise our taxes, (He said it.) and re-engage the processes that had been eroding our way of life for decades. This isn’t about change, this is about destruction. Reverse racism (which doesn’t exist) will be commonplace. (We’re already seeing that on the streets). I suspect that we’ll be in some form of Middle East combat again. Or their wars and troubles will be visited on our shores.

Well known Media darlings, some senators, and many celebrities have called for retribution against anyone that had the temerity to vote for Trump over a senile old Trojan Horse and potentially 12 years of president Harris who is quite possibly among the most corrupt people in politics today. Incidentally, she couldn’t get more than 5% of the vote in her liberal home state of California.

Due to the blatant illegality seen in this election, it’s obvious that our nation is doomed. The illegality on full display with Hunter Biden’s laptop. The lack of prosecution in the cases of ANTIFA and BLM riots and the tacit approval given those actions by various politicians. All combine to say there is no law and order anymore. Or rather, there isn’t equal law and order.

This leaves me wondering if I even have a country anymore. Is my passport worth anything? Does America even exist?

If I am a man without a country does that mean I’m a refugee? Can I go to Europe, get a job, and live the remainder of my life in peace?
