Stupid people! in A small but passable life.

The republican candidate for governor of this state believes the last election was stolen from the dumbass Trump. When asked about it she said, “We have the evidence.” When asked “What evidence?” She said, “We have it.” Stupid, ignorant, or mentally ill? Whatever. She’ll be getting the vote of millions of other stupid, ignorant or mentally ill people for sure. You really can’t make this shit up.

I’ve been able to turn off the A/C and open the windows at midnight and then reverse the process about mid-morning. Always one of the best times of the year.

I heard on the radio that the COLA for S.S. this year will be 9%. The highest ever. So, with what I’d been paying for the crappy DSL internet and the additional income, that should almost pay for the Starlink.

And speaking of the Starlink, there was an incident. A violent dust storm came rolling in from the SSE and flipped HAL9000 over onto his face. I heard the massive clunk from in here. I shut off the power to it and borrowed the neighbor’s ladder again. I climbed up and righted it. I turned it back on. It reconnected itself within minutes. I do need to secure it up there. One or two self-tapping screws through the holes in his feet into the metal roof should do it. I just don’t have the proper screws on hand.

And last night I finished the last quarter ounce, the Sensei Star. I found the receipt. May 31st, $62. So, minus the ten days I was back East, that was exactly four months at $15.50 per month, at one bong hit every evening after dinner. That’s cheaper than ice cream every night for dessert. And probably healthier?

I also wrote out a new budget. I ended up with six monthly bills, from largest to smallest they are: Savings, HOA dues, food, Starlink, cellphone, and electricity. Savings is still the largest amount because that is what is left over. So far, so good. I’ll let this ride for a year and then see if I’m going to sign up for Medicare or not. Can a person wait until they need it to sign up?

That’s all I’ve got.
