March 27

 Gray right now but hoping the clouds move out giving us sun. It is dry right now but we'll see if it stays that way. We have a couple of errands but should be done with them by mid-morning. 

The news continues to cover the bridge collapse in Baltimore. I noticed last night that a couple of the Republican knuckle-draggers were trying to tie the accident to Biden's "immigration policy." I guess they heard that the workmen who are now presumed dead were immigrants from central or South America. Despicable-but somehow not surprising. 

In the same category of despicable but not surprising is Trump's hawking of a "God Bless America" Bible that includes, as the news said, our "founding documents." For a mere $59.95+shipping you can have your own MAGA Bible.  He promises the proceeds WON'T  go toward his campaign. He doesn't say what they will go towards. I have nothing to say about Lee Greenwood partnering in this venture.

Another unsurprising development: Hamas rejected the latest Israeli offer of 800 Palestinian prisoners for 40 Israeli hostages. Israel continues to refuse their demand to leave Gaza. The talking heads noted that over the last few days Israeli troops went back into the Al Shifa hospital in northern Gaza they cleared a couple of months ago. The experts noted that actually getting rid of Hamas totally is a pipe dream. But Israel continues to smoke that pipe.

Errands completed. Didn't take long but we only had 3 stops. Getting some sun but it is cold and a bit windy.

Surprised to see gas prices locally at about $3.69/gal. Highest prices for some time. Then I looked up when we have to switch to the summer blend and that shift starts in April. So it isn't that much of a surprise since we are in the last week of March.
