This is not for everyone!

Black poop.

My poop is black.

Two doctors told me it was because I'm taking a high dosage of Iron.

(I don't know why I need Iron.)

And I 'do know' I don't like black poop.

I long for days of brown....

 

Labor Day

 Many people spent Labor Day not 'laboring' at all--but having fun, eating well and relaxing.

We should remember those who do 'labor' on the holiday.

Police. Fire-fighters. Doctors and nurses. Our Military folks. People like that.

I'll even say a prayer for the ball-boys and ball-girls at the U.S. Open Tennis Tourney.

Bern is a tennis nut so I watch lots of it with her.

The people who chase down and hold the balls deserve all the praise--even along with the tennis players.

I believe that.

Guns....

My father had three guns: a shot-gun, a hunting rifle and a pistol.

When he was so sick that I had to take him from West Virginia up to Connecticut, where I lived, I turned the guns into the WV State Police.

 I've never had a gun--besides the toy ones of my childhood--and I never will.

Guns, to me, are the work of Satan.

The shootings at the Catholic school and church in Minnesota was enough to prove that to me.

Why can't we have laws that take guns off the streets and out of the hands of people?

Guns Kill!

That's all you need to know.

Let's get guns under control once and for all.

 

Cans and bottles

 I took cans and bottles to Big Y and got $4.90 from them.

Bern hasn't been doing it, though she puts them in the recycle can so they are recycled somehow.

This is the first in my attempt in the next week or so to take back some of my chores that have fallen to Bern.

Take out the trash.

Go grocery shopping.

Cook a dinner.

I have to get back in the works--though truth is, Bern has more chores than me when I'm at my best!

But I have to come back.

I have to....

Get ready for the tyrant's troops

Our 'president'--would be 'dictator'--is ready, he says, to send the National Guard to any Blue state capital with a black mayor. (Well, he hasn't said exactly that, but actions speak louder than words.)

Now, whether he has the power to do this by the Constitution hasn't occurred in his tiny brain. Maybe the courts (slow as they are) will stop him soon.

But will he listen to the courts?

Things are bad and getting worse.

Speak up.

Let people know where you stand.

We must do whatever necessary to preserve our Democracy.

Lord help us....

 

 

It didn't go well

It was 59 degrees when I went on the deck this morning.

A little chilly.

It's 3:35 now and I'm going to try again.

Let's see what it's like....

(Or, more precisely, I'll see what it's like. Unless you're going to join me on the back deck.

You'd be welcome....)

Waking up earlier

 I was up at 7:35 this morning. I've been sleeping until almost 9 most days. But being up early cleared my head. Another beautiful day awaited me.

I've been reading a lot in my semi-retired mode. I love the "Murder she wrote" mysteries and my favorite writer David Rosenfelt. I read and re-read his dozens of books. Good every reading.

My plan to be outside more begins when I finish this blog.

I've got a book and a ginger ale to take with me.

Sitting on the porch will be a joy.

See you there!
