THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT IS CHANGING SO FAST THAT IT IS HARD TO KEEP UP, SO I WON'T. BUT FROM TIME TO TIME I WILL POST A FEW THINGS THAT I NOTICE IN MY UNEDUCATED MIND.
1. First I will open a can of worms. One called DACA. My remembrance of this is that while president, Obama instituted the DACA program. This was scheduled to end in 2018. Early on in his Presidency, Trump called an end to DACA and pro posed a plan for the program that would give the Dreamers a path to citizen ship. The Democrats in the house rejected that plan and that gave way to protests and so forth. Now, President Trump has again offered a plan for the dreamers with a path to citizen ship. Nancy Pelosi and her followers have once again rejected that. They chose to trash the president for not doing any thing. One has to wonder why.
2. I didn't vote for Hillary and now I won't vote for Biden. I was not a Trump fan in the beginning and am not really one now, and just have to wins that there was a better choice in either party. Still, Trump as brash as he is, has tried to do some good things and has been rejected every time he tries, it seems like. And
3. Why is congress so interested in Trump's tax returns. It's his money. I'm more interested in what the congress does with my money than I am about Trumps money. I, like a lot of people, have to wonder how someone can go to congress and become a multi millionaire on a salary they complain is not enough.
4. During this pandemic we are being ask to wash our hands, use sanitizer, social distance and wear a mask. Well, I have to wonder, didn't people wash their hands before this? And I have been using sanitizer and social distancing since I had a kidney transplant in 2001. The only thing different then form now is the wearing of a mask. So, I wear a mask when required in public. I am back on dialysis so I wear one 5 hours a day on the day I am there. What I don't understand is someone wearing a mask, in their private car, by themselves, while driving down the highway. That I refuse to do. And to see two people, a married couple who sleeps together, ( I suppose) who wear a mask while in a car or walking down a sidewalk, social distancing from every one else, holding hands and wearing masks. Don't compute for me.

MORE OPINIONS
I'M GLAD I DON'T TRY TO WRITE A DAILY BLOG. MY LIFE IS TOO DULL TO MENTION ON A DAILY BASIS AND THE POLITICAL WORLD CHANGES SO FAST THESE DAYS THAT IT IS HARD TO KEEP UP, EVEN ON A WEEKLY BASIS, MUCH LESS A DAILY BASIS. HOWEVER, I WILL TRY TO SAY A FEW THINGS TODAY.
1. The rule with this pandemic virus going around is to wear a mask and stay 6 feet from any one. That is called social distancing. Staying 6 feet from people may work for distance, but there can't be any thing social about it.
2. And speaking of masks. I have to wear one to my medical appointments three days a week for about 5 hours. it comes off when I leave. My wife and I will wear a mask when we enter a store, because it is demanded of us, but the State government, and I guess a little common sense. But now our governor has mandated that people will be fined $100.00 if caught not wearing a mask in public.This is not a law, but a health order. Not sure she can just impose that fine just because she wants too. As money hungry as she is, I'm sure she would like to collect a lot of those fines.
3. On a similar note, I refuse to live in fear. I will go where I have to go, the emphasis on HAVE to go, and do what I need to do. I refuse to live trembling in my house in fear that if I go our I may catch the virus. I will take necessary precautions, but I will not huddle down in fear.
4. OK a couple of things of a lighter note. You have seen those facebook postings that go "Could you live here with millions of dollars ( here usually being in the country ) but you could never watch football again? Just tell me where the house is and send me the millions and watch and see. Foot note. I don't watch football any way, so it wouldn't even be a sacrifice on my part.
5. And finally, when I was younger I used to see these old men with bushy eyebrows, nose and ear hair and I would say I will never be like that. Well, I don't have the bushy eyebrows, but I really have to watch the other two things and keep them trimmed. So, if any young person is reading this drivel, never look at us old timers and say, I will never be like that. Cause you just may be like that.
