Have I Got A Line For You!

Well, the rampant inflation we’ve been experiencing isn’t “transitory” after all. But the President says the economy is great; we’re just in a “transition period.” He pointed to the latest jobs report as proof. Okay….isn’t job growth just folks going back to work post-pandemic? Uncle Joe sounds just like Hugo Chavez. Sure, you can’t afford to put food on the table but think of the great future Bolivarian socialism is! Get ready to throw on a sweater this winter and turn down the thermostats…welcome back Jimmy Carter. You bet! What exactly is this transition? Go straight to socialism and remove the middle class? By the time Nancy and Chuck are handing out free rice cookers, there won’t be any rice left on the shelves. Ah well, President Biden will just tell us we need to go on a diet.

I took Max (Schnauzer) for a walk last night. We passed by the old E.C. Bishop house and noticed the storm cellar. You don’t see many of those anymore. With recent weather patterns, they might be a good idea. I remember the long drive to my Aunt Pat’s house in Osage City, Kansas. Many of the farm homes along the way had storm shelters in their yards. They also had remnants of the “green belts” of trees farmers planted during the dust storms that hit the Midwest in the 1930’s. A bit of our history that hasn’t been erased…. yet.

Speaking of history, Queen Elizabeth just celebrated 70 years on the throne. Unlike many of the Royals, she’s been a role model for the world showing strength and dignity throughout the years. There was lots of speculation over which members of the family would be allowed on the balcony to wave at the peasants who subsidize them. Prince Andrew conveniently came down with Covid. Harry and Meghan showed up but weren’t allowed to stand with the others. Meghan managed to get photographed standing in the window though. I wonder how many of the Queen’s great-grandchildren she pushed over to get there?

Time to bow off of this keyboard. The day has flown away, somewhere; as they tend to do following each and every sunrise. Take care of yourself.
