Had  a checkride for my Multi Engine rating.

Cancelled. 

Ceilings 300-500 feet. I need at least 4000 AGL.

So today, all dressed up and nowhere to go….This sucks

 May your 2021 be happy productive and fulfilling. 

Go forth into the future. 

 And rightly so. 

However, there is a “protest” planned at my home from 9 PM to 1 AM. Feel free to attend and show your support of this protest. Free speech is important…..

Refreshments provided. 

 While it can always be worse, I can’t say that I will look back on 2020 fondly. 

And yes, I do look forward to 2021. 

Having said that, this was a shitty year. Friends lost their business, some got Covid,  I lost people I knew to other causes…..We have all, essentially, been trapped in our homes for the past 10 months or so. We had an election whose legitimacy is (and always will be) in doubt….and that election will forever taint the trust that we have in our election process, from now until far into the future…..My plans for my future blew up, leaving me somewhat rudderless on the personal front. 

2021 may be better, it may not. Covid will fade, but now we have an illegitimate President who is feeble and weak, and whose loyalties are suspect. His second is, to put it bluntly, a socialist in the mold of Barry Obama, only even less restrained…I fear for my country. I fear for the economic health of our fellow citizens, and I fear for the ability of our military to defend our country and the citizens therein. I fully expect to see cuts on Militaty funding to pay for ever increasing Social Programs…Funded with non existent dollars that will dilute the savings of millions of people who have worked and saved for many years for their future. I fear we will inundated with non citizens that will dilute the vote of the folks who care for this country and it’s culture and productivity. 

And yet, I have hope. Hope that the American People will overcome…..that they will soon take up their jobs again, and work and be productive and make this country great DESPITE the so-called elected leaders we have. That they will thrive despite the drain on their resources and savings. That they will overcome the obstacles that have been put into their path, and succeed despite the obstacles yet to come. 

I believe in my own future…..things may have changed for me, but I believe that things will regain their equilibrium…..a door closed, but others lie ahead. I pray I choose the right doors, but forward is generally better….and I will continue forward. 

As I said, I will not miss the 2020 year. While it could have been worse, it wasn’t all that great, either. 

I hope that 2021 is better for all of my readers. Fear not, do not lose hope, bear down and move into the future with confidence. 

To do otherwise is to fail. 

 So Phil posted that Mary Ann had passed. 

Shit, man, I am geting old. The stars of my childhood are dying of old age. 

I always felt the was the better of the two. Ginger was hot, but Mary Ann was hotter. 

 The blog throws a “harmful Programs” warning in Google and IE. 

Kenny is aware of it, and is working on a solution to fix it. 

ETA : It appears to be a glitch. His site works now on IE with no errors. Apparently this has happened to other blogs that are not terribly liberal, so who knows? 

 and someone pouring for me. And trust me, in my earlier dayz, I tried more than once. 

Former alderman is arrested with a 0.32 Blood Alcohol Level after hitting 8 parked cars and a tree in Chicago.

0.32. 

Jesus, that comes under the label of “Professional Drinker”. 

 For only $1.64 a day, YOU CAN SPONSOR AN AMERICAN…

Nancy Pelosi thinks that is enough, as do many other members of Congress…..

 A fellow Blogger is in the hospital with Covid. 

He tested positive about a week ago, and yesterday, he went to the emergency care and was admitted to the hospital. 

Apparently it is serious enough that he’s boarding his dog…

Prayers for him should be directed to your favorite deity, but good wishes can be directed to him HERE,

He expects to be in the hspital for a while… 

 OK, maybe not a perfect patsy……but a pretty good one. 

So Anthony Quinn Warner is blamed for the explosion in Nashville on Christmas. 

Oddities though. He was killed in the explosion, so he can’t speak for himself, nor can he be interviewed…no one to refute the claims of his paranoia, nor corraborate it either……. Further, he gave his two homes away to some woman months ago. And apprently didn’t live at the house where the RV was parked anymore…..

Odd, innit? And there is no way for authorities to look at surveillance video to know if someone drove his RV to the scene…perhaps dead, and perhaps alive before the explosion…..we don’t know simply because there isn’t (wasn’t) enough surveillance on the scene to tell if someone left the RV after it was parked…And Mr Warner isn’t answering any Law Enforcement investigators questions……

I guess we will have to wait for the authorities to make up a better story fill in the details.

I’m still thinking there is another facet here. 

ETA: I don’t think that “Dominion” had anything to do with this….IF (and it is an IF) there is any data on the voting ystems it would be stored in many locations….and this was a telecommunications SWITCH point that was taken offline. Servers might have been there, but they would be backed up elsewhere as well…..So I don’t think Dominion voting data has anything to do with this. I think there is another facet here that we don’t yet know about. There is no logical reason to connect the two, except unfounded conspiracies. There was nothing to be gained as far as hiding some “data” that may or may not esist. There are easier and better ways to get rid of the “Dominion Data” than a half-assed bombing.

Means, motive, opportunity. What was Mr Warners?
