Barking at the Moon

 Today's going to be a busy day for me.  Yikes.  I have an eye appointment at 0940 (read dilation), and then I have to go to work.  Yes, for me that equates to a busy day.  There are other chores which are essential taking up time as well.

Like a call to the Veterinarian.  They never called back yesterday.  Excuse me, but that's non-professional.  After I finish this I will have to give them a call.  Perhaps they already know that if they change Biggie's med I'm going to get his prescription from Chewy.  What I'm doing is taking American Capitalism and applying it to my own personal circumstances.  Good Hope Veterinary Practice doesn't care about my financial situation.  I don't doubt if someone complains their response is "you can always pay for pet insurance to help pay the high prices we charge in order to grow our profit by 5% every year."  And don't get me started on Pet Insurance.

I went to see Uncharted last night, a movie based on a popular video game available only on the Sony Playstation console.  I've never played the game, though I own a PS4 so maybe I'll invest.  Hopefully there's more excitement and energy in the game than there is in the movie.  Gingery Tom Holland had his hair dyed dark brown, almost black.  Markie Mark is in the movie, too.  This might be the first movie I've seen in which he acts (?).  If I did see him another film, I've long since forgotten it.  Usually I post from the film I've just seen, but I find this one far more entertaining.

Barking at the moon?

The war is still going on in the Ukraine... does anybody know, has the Russian Stock Market opened yet?  The damn thing has been closed all week because quite a few Oligarchs are going to be unhappy when they lose billions in just a few seconds.

And, this should come as no surprise to anyone:  China asked Russia to delay the invasion until after the Olympics.  Xi must have realized that games with Russian druggie athletes were going to be more popular with viewers than an invasion.

And this also should not be surprising:  The January 6 committee filed a legal brief arguing Trump and his lackies pushed a scheme to obstruct and overturn the electoral college.  This is a criminal offense.  This is what we've been waiting for... sort of.  We're just waiting for the actual indictments to be handed out.  

And finally, did everybody see that video of DeSantis barking at the college students because they were wearing masks?  Evidently these students have 'no rights' except the rights he wants them to have.  He wants to tell them what to believe.  The part where he shakes his head in frustration is so... telling.
