really?

 We have met the enemy, and he is us

    I am borrowing that from Pogo, a comic strip popular was I was a younger person.

    But I think it is so true today

    For example:  2 women were shot in Lake County by someone in a Ram pickup.  Police located the pickup and attempted to stop it.

    But this model is capable of going 200 MPH and quickly outran police in several municipalities and counties before spikes blew its tires.

    Why in the hell do we need a truck that goes 200 MPH?  Because you know if people can do something they will.  

    I often fall in the Reels rabbit hole on Facebook and there are often videos featuring this truck outrunning police, and generally causing havoc on the road.  Julia told me those were AI videos, most likely from a game.  Now I wonder.

    By the way, the women were not severely hurt and the truck was stolen from someplace in Wisconsin.

    There are some things I can not do without in life ....  red wine, good books, good friends, cookies and pizza for example.

    But  I sure don't need an automatic weapon or an assault rifle.  And I don't think most people do.

    And why do motorcycles need a license and a licensed drivers while ATVs do not?  

    Why aren't election days the same as Leap Year days with it being a national holiday?

    Why are there so many old white men in congress?

    I know, quit the complaining and finish taking down the Christmas tree.  Yes, I said it would be done today.....but I did not succeed.  Now the house is a mess, I am tired, the tree is half naked, and I am having an egg not and cookie binge.

    Can't wait for my blood tests and weigh in for my upcoming doctor visit.  Should be an eye opener.

Peace and Love
