California it’s BAD when a Redneck like me…

…Calls out all the brain dead mouth breathers wandering around your cities and towns.

My GOD! What has happened to people? Trying to shop in the grocery store is an epic exercise in annoyance.

What part of, folks should avoid blocking entire aisles with their fat asses and carts don’t people get?

What part of, aisles should be clear of carts, trolleys, and merchandise stacks is too difficult for employees to understand?

Why do grocery stores in other states have Two, yes TWO whole doors? (Honestly, when I first moved up here, the local Stater Brothers did have two whole doors.)

Sometime in the past few years, they remodeled and lost one set of doors which has made getting into and out of the store far more difficult that it need be. If the remaining doors were simply wider, it would be less of a hassle.

But it’s not just the grocery store. It’s also the drug store.

The drug store used to be in the same plaza as the grocery store, it also had two sets of doors. That was super convenient! Park ONCE, then walk from one to the other to do your business. (Perhaps that would help with the whole fat ass problem today!)

The drug store moved to a free standing building with only one door, on the opposing corner of the street so now you have to make two stops, fight through at least one stop light, make a series of left turns, then navigate around a bunch of fast food places to get into the grocery store parking lot.

The navigational issues are bad enough outside the stores while you’re driving, but the mouth breathers inside the stores keep the navigational frustration going.

The people wandering vacantly around the grocery store, are rude, thoughtless, and behind the wheel of a car, terrifying.

I was thinking about the last time I was in Florida shopping in a Publix. It was actually relaxing. The customers were courteous, the employees helpful, the store was brightly lit, and the aisles wide and unobstructed. The floors were clean and shiny! This particular Publix had one very wide door and because there were no displays around the door, moving into and out of the store was easy.

They even had batteries hanging neatly on the racks in their hardware section.

Imagine that! It was only at that moment, standing in a grocery store 3000 miles from home that I realized batteries hadn’t been hanging on endcaps, or in the hardware section of my grocery store for a very long time. At home I have to ask the cashier to go get them from a storage area at the front of the store.

Getting into and out of the shopping plaza in Florida was easy too. The layout of the driveways lent a kind of logic to navigation. The only hiccup was around a gas station at the far end of the property. I think that might have been due to volume of customers. It was the last gas station before you got on the I-10 heading to Jacksonville.

The last time I was in Kentucky, I went into a Kroger and had essentially the same experience. Wide aisles, clean floors, bright lighting, courteous people, products easily accessible, and well designed driveways / parking.

So why is it that California can’t seem to manage this?

Is it too many drugs or just that people in California are that stupid?

The state did vote for Newsom, they did prevent his recall, they keep Pelosi and Feinstein in office and California went overwhelmingly for Biden…

Perhaps it’s that Californians are that stupid.

I’m not looking forward to dating…

Yes, I’m still a ways off from that. Nonetheless I’m not looking forward to it.

The reason is straight forward.

Statistically all gay men are Democrats. Sure, there are actually some republican gay men, and there are some conservative gay men. However their numbers are so vanishingly small as to be numerically insignificant. Therefore they don’t exist.

Given the premise that all gay men are Democrats and all Democrats are liars, it follows that all gay men are liars.

I’m sure there are gay men who are not liars, but statistically the number of honest gay men must be so close to zero, as to be functionally zero.

Since I don’t like liars, I’m expecting for dating to be pretty unpleasant.

My other half was a Democrat when we met. I was a Republican. That was back when gay men were just happy to find someone else who loved them and didn’t care about stupid crap like politics. Sure, we canceled each others votes out for years, but over time, we both moved to a more centrist view and then both left our respective political parties so we could hurl insults at Democrats and Republicans, without being hypocrites.

The process of us moving toward more centrist beliefs took many years, and honestly, it was a fun process. We both learned a lot. Mostly, we learned that we loved each other.

I doubt I have that many years ahead of me so I’m not going to engage in another long term conversion project. I have decided in general that I’m not going to date Democrats. Of course rules are made to be broken and someone who is particularly interesting could be forgiven their political insanity.

Given what I’ve seen with the dating apps & sites. I’ll Pass! I think I’ll find a bar or pub that’s comfortable when I want to be around people and other than that I’ll just live my life doing the things I want to do.

There are things I’m interested in and perhaps with a little discretion I’ll find other guys who are interested in those things too. Maybe I’ll just get some nice subtle rainbow items. (Old rainbow not that new abomination!)

Something to hang on my backpack or dive gear, small but noticeable to the discerning eye. Possibly I’ll add some swag from my political party affiliation too. I could also add some swag from the Atlas Shrugged website… That would be over most people’s heads, but some might get it.

This adornment might be off-putting to most, but to the kind of folks I’m interested in hanging out with, or knowing in the biblical sense, it might be a way of winnowing the wheat from the chaff.

Alternatively, I could simply resolve to confine my dating to nothing more than prostitutes…

“Your cash is on the counter Chad, thanks for the mediocre blowjob, now get out.”

I must admit that does seem to be more direct, more convenient, and quite possibly cheaper …

I was going to write a piece about the latest Trump indictment…

As I was writing, I was struck by some things.

I’M BORED!

I’m bored with the continuous law-fare against Trump, and apparently anyone who ever spoke his name out loud.

I’m waiting for the Grand Inquisitor Jack Smith to start checking voting records. Everyone who voted for Trump, along with their families and employees will be taken from their homes, and hung by the neck until dead, right after the IRS has taken all their cash and assets. Their homes will be given to “good” voters recently arrived from the Southern border.

You can tell Smith really liked The Robes of state. If I recall correctly purple was the color of royalty. Interesting that purple is so prominent in the EU robes he’s wearing. Anointed by royalty? or do these robes say, “I AM Royalty!”

Each new indictment is simply the bullshit de jour. I resent having to process any of it, I resent my time being taken up with breathlessly excited reporting and joyous exclamations, “The walls are closing in on Trump.”

Yeah? Really? Go suck a rancid donkey dick. CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, Bitches on The View, Joy Reid and whoever else.

I’d ignore all you assholes but there are some bits of news that I enjoy. Scientific discoveries for example. Unfortunately I can’t have just that subject matter without all the rest of the noise. You’d think that we could program our devices to give us only the stuff we’re interested in but Nope!

The Democrat party needs to be disbanded. The head honchos of the DNC, should all be simply imprisoned without trial. We know they’re all guilty of something. We as a country have passed the point of equal justice. It’s very clear that we’ve moved into old Soviet Russia style justice. “Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime…” I’d love to see the Democrats get a good helping of their own “justice”. That’s just me engaging in petty vengeance.

If Washington DC was struck by an asteroid the size of a Volkswagen moving at 10% the speed of light, during the State of The Union address, I wouldn’t shed a single tear. The rest of the planet wouldn’t be in great shape after that, but at least we’d be rid of one group of shitheads.

You’d have to work through a lot of math to understand why a relatively small asteroid moving at that speed would be so devastating, I’m sure E=mc2 factors into it somewhere. It could be an extinction level event, at least in theory. On the bright side global warming wouldn’t be an issue.

I don’t even think Trump is 100% innocent of whatever the hell he’s accused of now. (What he didn’t wash his hands after taking a shit? OMG! Arrest him!)

At this point I don’t care.

What I do care about is that I can’t escape or ignore it.

The daily dose of bullshit is harshing my calm.

I could be slightly interested in Biden being impeached or better yet, tried for corruption. But that is something that will never happen in a million years. See my comment above about Soviet Style Justice.

We all know who our Masters are… The fuckers in Washington DC, and the communists in the DNC and RNC! I believe their leash is held by Communist China. They’ve sold us out plain and simple.

Absolutely nothing these fuckers do is in the interest of good governance, or the people they were elected to serve. They’re just trying to keep a lid on everything until they can hoist a communist / sociaist flag over the capital and declare the land mass of North America a sovereign possession of China or whoever.

That’s how we come to the WEF saying, “You’ll own nothing and you’ll be happy.” The unspoken part of that is, “you’ll be happy when we take our boot off your throat and you’ll remain happy so long as you say or do nothing that causes the eye of the government to turn toward you.“

The way we’re going, it won’t be long until we’re all literally wearing chains. Right now I question if our technology isn’t metaphorical chains that may be just as effective.

As you may have gathered my state of mind when I wrote this was ANGRY.

Then later in the day I ran across something that made me smile, then it made me laugh out loud.

A conservative pundit posed the question; with the latest indictment, as part of Trump’s defense does it open the doorway to actually investigating ALL of TRUMPs administration and allegations of voter fraud leveled in 2016 by Hillary, and in 2020 by Trump?

Let’s be honest, no matter who wins in our system the other party always claims there were voter shenagins.

What does that investigation look like? Is it going to be like pulling a stray thread on a sweater? Might I get the opportunity to enjoy corrupt politicians metaphorically pouring gasoline over themselves then lighting a cigarette?

That might just be worth the annoyance!

A Snarky PSA

After the various news appearances by this guy…

Representative Dan Goldman of New York

It’s become obvious that I missed another memo regarding changes to language.

Apparently, the following symbols and terms…

Have become synonymous with…

Here is the poster child for the word, LIAR. His image should be shown as a representative example.

Gentle Rain…

Last night soft rain began falling just as I was heading to bed. I love the sound of gentle rainfall and often use the sound of rain on the HomePods in the bedroom to fall asleep.

Last night the fake track wasn’t necessary, Mother Nature provided a natural soundtrack all night long.

Although about 1 or 2 am, the natural soundtrack was interrupted by a bunch of noise from jackass central where Crazy Pants and the other transient trash live.

I suppose that as much of a pain in the ass as it is. I’m going to have to start making noise complaints.

My hesitation about that is if I’m not going to be living here for much longer do I really care? Another consideration is if I start a “war” with those idiots, it could impact my ability to sell my house because if their behavior gets worse, it could scare off potential buyers. Fortunately the eye sore that it their property is mostly concealed by trees and other structures that don’t look like cover photos for “Homeless Beautiful, Your definitive guide to shitty living”

I love that the police are always so concerned about Crazy Pant’s rights, but when asked what about the other neighbors rights they shake their heads. Technically it’s not fair to place the police in that metaphorical vise. It’s not their job to decide. Since Crazy Pants and everyone else in the neighborhood have equal rights, it’s for a judge to determine where the line is.

Eventually the noise died down at Crazy Pants place. I can only hope that they drugged themselves into a stupor or death. I know there’s no such luck on the latter so I’ll take comfort in the former. Once their annoyance quieted, the rain was back. The sound seemed a little louder, as if the intensity of the storm increased.

Perhaps Nature was just trying to drown out the shenanigans so the neighborhood could sleep soundly.

On thing of note about the noise was that the dog didn’t budge from his spot on the bed. When the noise started, he looked up, groaned, and went back to sleep. That’s a comment on the frequency of the disruptions coming from Crazy Pants place. Even the dog is disinterested. He’s a classy dog & they’re trashy primates.

It’s cool and overcast this morning. There’s a slight chance of more rain but I doubt it will happen. I’m thankful for the break in temperature and the quiet of the morning.

I won’t have to water the trees and there may have been enough rain to rinse the dust off the solar panels. That’s one of the things the brochures don’t tell you. Those panels on the roof have to be rinsed from time to time, dust and pollen have a measurable effect on the panel efficiency.

I’m sure there are additional chores that I need to do around here. With watering and rinsing off the list, I think I’ll have another cup of coffee and enjoy the morning a while longer.

Besides, the weather station here in the living room says we could have some thunderstorms. I’d like that, but I’d also be content with more gentle rain.
