House Divided

The powers that be just want the country divided. Republican vs Democrat. Gay vs straight. Science vs Christian. Black vs white. Guns vs no guns. Immigration laws vs open borders. Peaceful Washington demonstrators are jailed for months, while violent lawbreakers in Seattle, Portland, and Minneapolis are being let go.

Now it’s the vaccinated vs the unvaccinated. The administration is requiring all federal employees to be vaccinated, going door to door asking everyone else to be vaccinated, while at the same time opening the border to millions of unvaccinated illegal refugees from all over the world, many already sick with covid. All this rhetoric is getting old. 

“Although the world that (he) describes seems bleak and hopeless, the telescreens constantly push propaganda onto its citizens to make them ignore or deny what they see and feel.” – George Orwell, from his book 1984. 

Not a big lover of Trump. He is a bully and a bore. Like many said, he probably would’ve been re-elected had he not acted like he did. My neighbor’s driveway is right next to ours, and our garages face each other’s house, so we’re always seeing each other come and go. Nice folk, but I cringe because they keep flying their Trump flag. 

Some don’t like Dabo. Do they not like the way he tells it like it is? Is it because he’s an outspoken Christian? It’s okay when Saban or Spurrier talk. Why not Dabo?

Tuesday: finally a normal day. First time in over a week. Lunch at my desk. Worked past 5:15. Drove straight home. Bad traffic due to the rain. Had to take a detour in Norcross. Got off busy Holcomb Bridge and took the river road less traveled. C was back from SC. On the way home C asked if I wanted to pick up takeout. I hate takeout. Would much rather eat in the restaurant. Monday I had eaten alone at Smokehouse instead of taking it home. The food is so much better at the restaurant.

Tuesday night: Chicken stir fry for supper, and spinach. I think it was spinach. You never know these days. Didn’t taste like kale. Not much on TV. Went to bed before ten. 

Winnie was exhausted. She napped most of the trip back, most of the evening, and slept late Wednesday morning (as did I).

Wednesday: worked through lunch, and past 5:45. C cooked breaded chicken and spinach, and tossed a salad. Watched a little Olympic golf. 

Had a bit of a headache Thursday morning. Stopped at RaceTrac for a Mtn Dew. Chicken kabobs for Thursday supper.

JIM KAAT  [SABR Bio] was the last-active player from the original Washington Senators. Kaat played for WSH in 1959 & 60Threw his last pitch in MLB on 01-Jul-1983. He surrendered a home run to Bert Campaneris on the first pitch Campaneris saw in the majors, on 23-Jul-1964Campaneris homered off Kaat again in the seventh. Kaat was a teammate of Killebrew on WSH/MIN 1959-73; of Dick Allen on CHW 1973-74; of Pete Rose on PHI 1979; of Reggie Jackson on NYY 1979-80; and of Ozzie Smith on STL 1982-83. Kaat won Gold Glove awards for the Twins, White Sox and Phillies, sixteen in all. He won GG 1962-73, 1974-77. Only Greg Maddux won more.

Anna had taken some of the clippers when she was cutting people’s hair in college. Guys she didn’t even know were texting her, asking for haircuts. It was taking so much of her time that she finally had to start saying no. Ceil had been cutting Barney’s curly hair, and hopes to cut Winnie’s straighter hair. 

Have been thinking about how most all the guys I know that were in the military are stand up, hardworking guys, and good employees. New GM Shane was in the military, and has recently brought on some ex-military guys that are doing a good job. Will, Wes, Jack, Jonathan. And Cal. Ben and others. And a guy named Reid.
