Bye, Ida

Posted on September 2, 2021 by A Dreamer

You’ll not be forgotten anytime soon. Though to look outside, you’d be hard pressed to know anything happened – sunny, cool and dry. We got SO lucky – the bulk of it skipped just north of us – we got … Continue reading →

What a fucking week.

Posted on September 1, 2021 by A Dreamer

The Texas state legislature, 5th Circuit and a majority of SCOTUS sure do hate people that can get pregnant. Lots of sympathetic and angry words out of politicians, but words don’t do shit. Every state with a R legislature is … Continue reading →

Morning got here extra early

Posted on August 30, 2021 by A Dreamer

Tow company came to pick up my dear old Jeep – they called yesterday and said I was first on the pickup list, scheduled for 6AM. Ouch. He rolled up at 5-ohmygod-30. But, I’d set my alarm, I was already … Continue reading →

*sigh*

Posted on August 17, 2021 by A Dreamer

Gawd, sleep is good

Posted on August 16, 2021 by A Dreamer

I slept like a rock last night – I could easily take another 12 hours of it, but this will work for now. And I am actually looking forward to work – there is just nothing but sadness in the … Continue reading →

One step forward, two steps back

Defund them all…

Posted on April 12, 2021 by A Dreamer

I don’t even know what the hell I was thinking yesterday when I thought we could fix policing via legislation. Another police shooting in Minneapolis. And of course, they’re treating a grieving community like shit yet again. Like so many, … Continue reading →

Windsor, Virginia

Posted on April 11, 2021 by A Dreamer

OK, I didn’t realize until just the other day that awful incident with Army Lt Nazario and the Windsor police was here in Virginia. (I guess I was hoping it was Windsor, Ontario.) Folks are very understandably pissed off and … Continue reading →
