Yesterday I was thinking of what I would write about today and one of the blogs I follow wrote about what I was thinking of for this blog. And our thoughts are similar too. Yesterday was September 23, 2017. There was a lot of talk about the day being the end of the world, that the Rapture would happen on September 23, 2017. Well as you see we're passed the 23rd and not a thing happened. It was viral all over some social sites and especially so on YouTube. And like the blogger I follow, it was already the 24th on the other side of the world. If you read the Bible it says no one will no the exact date. Over the years there's been many predictions made of what day the world will end. This one I think got more attention because of the two knuckleheads threatening to destroy each other's country. In fact it's still scary to listen to their bs. For some stupid reason we elected a President who is just a big bully who is spouting off at the other big bully across the world in Asia. Both are crazy I assume and are surely two big jackasses. What a messed up world we live in and it's getting worse. We created this internet to help link people together and look what's happening. Besides are blogs and such there are those using the internet to rob you. To incite violence. All evil stuff. What a world we live in huh?
Enough of my soapbox junk. Here we are experiencing Summer as the season has turned to Autumn. 90's for two days and to continue the first part of this week. Things are backwards. We had Autumn like temps in August. Weather is a mystery......so roll the dice...have a great week....
I had some thought of writing about the week. Starting with the anniversary of 9/11. I was going to write what I had written before on the other sites over the years about where I was when it happened. Instead this has turned into a lazy Sunday. It's beautiful and sunny here like a nice warm Summer day. Over the years many posts have been made about 9/11. On youtube there are probably millions of videos about it. The actual tv broadcasts are there. All the main networks were doing their morning shows when it happened. Last year I watched some of those. It's still as horrifying and heartbreaking as the day of the attacks. And beyond that there are I don't know how many videos of a 9/11 conspiracy. From unidentified aircraft to there were no planes at all but bombs planted in the towers. And I will leave this here..
So this week was another long one. It seems my job has become one of those things I do because of the monetary value not where I would like to be. I live for the weekends. To be free from the days of doing what we have to do and hoping I can retire at a decent age. It's the American dream right? As we get older we realize society pretty much casts us aside. It's a young people's world....
Ok I hadn't planned to make this post so depressing. It's just I feel weary sometimes and know tomorrow is back to the grind. Weekends just go by too darn fast. So I wish you all a wonderful week ahead. Till next time......
Not much today for this one. A repost from my mobile plus
Into the dark
No walk in the park
Storm is comin'
Just over the horizon
The might and fury
Come from the sea
Find some shelter
My hand on your shoulder
Once it blows away
To live another day......
Our thoughts are with those in the path of Irma..
Many times life hits us with surprises. All we can do is go with it wherever it takes us..Blessed Be...
Still today the images are heartbreaking. The wreckage Harvey left behind is beyond words. My heart goes out to all those affected by it. Here Saturday it was on and off drizzle to late Sunday morning. Nothing serious at all but it was the last of Harvey which made its way all the way to Ohio. There's a lot of organizations to donate money to help those affected. Research and choose a good one. This is what makes America great. Helping our fellow citizens in times of disaster.
Which brings this post to politics. This week Congress gets back in session to work on a number of problems. One is to raise the debt limit so the Government doesn't shut down. It's a double edged sword. Raising our debt or shutting down. If the Government shuts down, our veterans will lose their disability money and medical services. Those working for the Government will be working without a pay check. That's bad news. Also bad news is raising the debt ceiling, more trillions in debt. See double edged sword. Then there's money to allocate to FEMA. As you know that helps(or supposed to help) victims of disasters such as Harvey. Well Mitch McConnell and his fellows want to take some of the billions promised to FEMA and divert it to fund the building of the Wall across the Mexican border. So I wonder how Americans feel about that. Many support building the Wall. And yet we would be taking money away from the agency that will help in the recovery from what is now called a once in a 1000 years' disaster. I also wonder have we lost our direction? Meaning our Government. So far this administration and Congress seem to be not willing to solve any problems at all. Most of what I've said here is just me thinking about how did we get to where we are now in this political world. It's something to think about as the next few years unfold.
Let's think of this one in a 100 years' storm. Though many people have sides on the Global warming issue, pretty much all agree it is happening. The questions are is how it got to be this way. Well I'm not going to talk about that except to say since Global warming is happening, expect to see more such storms like Harvey. Just look around and see how wacked out our weather has become.
On the lighter side, this is a Holiday weekend. Celebrating us working people with a day, Labor Day. As hard as we work to make a living we need an extra day to recharge, have fun and relax. We need more of them!
Here's our boy relaxing for the Holiday weekend with his bandana from last week's grooming.(what am I saying, he's relaxing anytime he can!) Bless my daughter for taking care of him. Free of charge lol. She grooms dogs for a living and I take him there while she works on Saturdays. It's a 40 minute drive but I don't mind at all and neither does he. Happy Labor Day!
