A Madding World

puppetmakerI was in the CVS picking up some prescriptions when I heard a disturbance behind me. A customer started shouting that they were not going to wear a mask and here was their vaccine card proving that they had all their shots. When informed that this came from the governor of NY, there was another rant about doing the right thing and paying for it because others won’t do the right thing. The manager tried to calm the customer down, but they stormed out of the CVS vowing never to return. I then watched the same person come through the drive through with no mask.
I agree with their argument that I am doing everything right and I am getting screwed by those who are not.
However, I do follow the mask rules and wash my hands once an hour at work.
One does not call a grown man “boy” unless the individual is their son or grandson. Yes, I live in the North not the South, but I still hear it especially when a group wants to intimidate and belittle another group.
Americans are Americans no matter what their Fill-In-Blank-here-that-a-minority-have-a-problem-with. Moscow Mitch can say he screwed up and meant to say all Americans a thousand times over. His white robes were showing. That was not a slip of the tongue but how he really sees America.
I am getting mad at certain people in Congress who have made themselves ‘important’ by making stupid decisions that have been a detriment to the USA as a whole. Also stalling legislation to counter voter suppression and would help a majority of the citizens they care to claim to care about. They are in it for themselves and those who donate so they can be re-elected. I am thinking term limits might be a good thing but will never get passed. I am also in favor of term limits on the Supreme Court.
We are heading towards a doctorship that certain individuals want because they love power more than the people.
We almost had one election stolen but that was the trial balloon for what works and doesn’t work. They are just going to try harder to remain in power as long as they can. They know the handwriting on the wall is there and unless they can unlawfully take control, the power will shift back into the hands of the people.
I have a friend who does wild animal rescue. She was interviewed on NPR about her job and the problem of people dumping animals in the parks figuring they would survive.
A pet is a commitment. One must take responsibility for them. That means feeding, watering, and dealing with whatever they use as a bathroom. Some need to be walked regularly and giving room to run. Vet visits to keep them healthy and shots are needed too.
Two of our cats found us by landing on our doorstep. The other two were from rescue shelters and have a very good life here. I must clean the cat boxes, make sure they have food and water, and places to hide and sleep.
I could go on but I have a day planned with my husband.
I am grateful for people who do the right thing even when it is hard.
