Good mornin’, Lucille! Not sure if we could find those tacos in Norway, but maybe after the World Cup, it might be an option. The Vikings seemed to take a shine to some of our offerings here in TX. Coffee’s ready, ma’am.
Good mornin’, and happy Tuesday! Some of y’all are out and about quite early this morning. My humble apologies for being a bit tardy. Here’s a pot from our friends across the Big River from me. Keep your head on a swivel and carpe’ your coffee.
Remember the “plot” to kidnap Gov. Whitmer in MI? The one that may well have been egged on by some undercover snitches? More sentences are being tossed on appeal.
See this little bugger? I’m currently in a battle for possession of my own danged back porch with him and his extended family. They’ve taken over the pond this year. Never had them before. I have finally won one battle last night with vinegar. I hope this leads to their respecting my property line! Their croak sounds a lot more like a bark than a rivet. And it is amazingly loud for such a little dude.

Morning czarina. That imaginary ice cream I’m enjoying has been great for my ain’t line, so I’ll stick with it. I guess junk food doesn’t cover food trucks. I wonder if there’s a food truck day? We have become a food truck town, and I would love to track some of them down and try some of the unique foods.
Fine explanation of what the DSA proposals would do to our country. Love Flopping Aces!
The DSA has finally solved every problem in America.
No debt. No rent. No mortgage. No police. No ICE. No prisons. No private property. No independent Supreme Court. No pesky presidency. No constitutional brakes. No overseas military bases.
Worth mentioning that the ultimate hero for the @DemSocialists is @BernieSanders. The same Bernie Sanders who has met privately with Daniel Ortega, called him "impressive" and formed a sister-city between Burlington and a Nicaraguan city. DSA would do this here too if they could. https://t.co/4f9mVRdA46
Mornin’ All. Very pleasant this morning, 71* and overcast.
Well, my one neighbor has moved out and the couple living below me is moving. I saw the ads for the apartments and they are asking $200 more a month for those apartments than I am paying right now. I think they had dropped the price way down for this place because they couldn’t get anybody in it.
Please be safe. I saw the weather report for the Eastern side of the country.
