January 28, 29, 30

 Overcast and rainy today. Also fairly warm. Most of the snow is gone and we have little likelihood of getting any more any time soon. It has felt so little like winter that I think about taking down the winter wreath and putting up something else. But It doesn't feel like spring either so I am not inclined to put that one up.

Cloudy again today but no rain yet. The forecast says we should see the sun later today. It seemed mild when we started on our errands but I think the temps fell during our two hour circuit.

Jan 30

Wet, chilly, overcast--again.

In case you hadn't noticed there isn't much out there that is worth thinking or commenting on.

 The rage of the moment involves some of the whacky right wing commentators are going crazy ballistic over Taylor Swift and her football player boyfriend. They seem to think (using the term very loosely) that it is a conspiracy by the Biden people to gin up his popularity. I have given up trying to find a rational explanation for anything that group of nut jobs "think." But why are some in the more mainstream news even covering their reaction. They should leave all that to the celebrity tabloids.

The news has been fixated on the minutia of Trumps legal cases but the coverage is incredibly repetitive.

Another repetitive and utterly predictable story line is what is happening in the Middle East. You can reduce the plot to "tit for tat." It has been that since Israel was established. And notice how many of our actions fall into the same pattern. Right now all the talking heads can talk about is who hard we are going to hit whom following the deaths of three soldiers and wounding of some three dozen more.
