And so my weekend begins. Not having to work is nice. Temps are supposed to climb into the mid 50's (F) today. I'm fine with that. We have the same forecast for tomorrow. The skies are supposed to be cloudy, but moderate temperatures will abound. Starting Thursday, things are supposed to cool off. We are still officially in winter for the next 3 weeks or so. When the season will finally leave I anybody's guess.
I had an old George Foreman rotisserie which hadn't been used in years, so I put it out on the curb for garbage. This morning it was gone, picked up by a hoarder, or someone planning on selling it at a Flea Market. At least someone will be getting some use out of it, hopefully.
Biggie is lying beside me as I write this. The balm is soothing his paws, but I suspect I will end up taking him to the Vet. I hate that, not because his Vet group is cruel, or heartless, but because they no problem using your emotion to price gouge. I tell people this constantly using this example: The carprofen he takes daily for arthritis? They charge $48.70 for a 30 day supply, Chewy charges me $11.53 for the same 30 day supply.
I watching music videos on YouTube yesterday and clicked on this one out of curiosity. As I sat listening to the music, I realized how pretty this song was. Surprisingly, this is Bjork. You know? The musician who wore the goose dress to the Oscars.
And, of course, the Ukraine is still standing. Yesterday Switzerland set aside their historically neutral status and joined with the rest of the EU. They shut down their banks to Russian transactions. From the BBC: the Russian economy is collapsing. Good. One thing you need to remember, though, is that Putin doesn't care about the Russian people, in fact, he doesn't even care about Russia. You see, Putin's a billionaire and while people have tried to locate his assets, no one has. The hardships effecting the Russian people are not going to bother him. He doesn't care how many lives are lost. He doesn't care if the Ukraine is destroyed. He is, in other words, your true Republican. We do not want someone even remotely like a Vladimir Putin running this country. Vote blue, other wise this country will fall into chaos.
He won't care if Europe is destroyed. And the strangle holds being put on him won't faze him. Like you said fuck the people...he has his billions.
ReplyDeleteLife has absolutely no meaning to him.
DeleteThis country is falling into chaos anyway.
ReplyDeleteYou and I are in total agreement.
DeleteOh, Vlad does not give a rat's ass about the Russians. His money is in the West, in some Cayman Islands tax haven. He will kill as many people and destroy as many cities as he can in order to show he's a MAN. The kind of man the Repugs think is a man, that is.
ReplyDeleteI hope the oligarchs do put a stop to his crazy behavior. THEIR money is sometimes linked to Russia, even though their yachts are in the Mediterranean and their children in British boarding schools.
And yay for de-cluttering!
XOXO
At some point the world's economy is going to crash, I suspect, and we will have to build it back better.
DeleteI don't think we need to worry about taking care of Putin, his people might just do that for us.
ReplyDeletehe is not nearly as popular as Russian propaganda makes him out to be.
DeleteNone of these billionaires/oligarchs care about the little people so they will keep doing what they've always done. After all, it won't be their kids getting killed!
ReplyDeleteI just finished reading an article in Al Jazeera and they said exactly what you said.
