I voted for the 2020 Election!
I have officially voted in the 2020 General Election. I’ve always voted by mail, but this year when the ballot and it’s return envelope were delivered, it was raining pretty hard. My mail box is slightly angled the wrong way, so of course the one piece of mail that day that I needed to keep dry was soaked! By the time I was able to open the slip and get everything out the return envelope was already sealed from the moisture, and my attempts to gently open it were much more destructive than I had hoped. I ended up going down...

Our final foster cat has been adopted! It’s bitter sweet, because today we also sent off our three perma-kitties to my in-laws for a couple weeks so we can have some cat-free time for the next couple weeks. I do have concerns with FatCat, as she’s still not feeling 100%, but at least she’s going to be people that care about her. In completely different news, I got my annual flu shot on Friday, and my arm is still smarting from the injection. That first 24 hours was not fun for my poor bicep.
I hate that I now have a preference for how carpet cleaners work
I hate that I know how this one works, I hate how it works, I hate having to take it apart every 3 months to sand down some bullshit piece of metal that’s rusting away, I hate that they put a iron POS in there instead of plastic, and I hate that it’s driven not by belts or gears, but by the power of air itself. You read that correctly, it’s not connected directly to the motor, nope, the brushes that are supposed to power clean the floor go from the floor to a gear that’s being pushed by a...

I turned 40 last Thursday, I had a steak and potatoes meal, expertly cooked by my dear wife. It was followed by apple pie with ice cream. One of my cats continues to be sick and I’m not really sure what more I can do for her, she’s lost so much weight since we stopped leaving dog food down a year ago after my last dog died. I’m hoping she’ll take a better turn soon. I continue to be frustrated beyond belief by companies like Facebook and Google that provide services but no customer support at all. I’m dumping Facebook,...

Getting Gas & Beer
Went to get my weekly poison at the local gas & chug and was facing the register, had a guy come up and tap me on the shoulder (yes, he touched me, in the time of covid), and said it was great to see another tall guy, then offered his hand to shake. I said “No Thank You” and paid for my beer, then went to my car and just sat there for a minute. What just happened?
