Yesterday broke my 484 day consecutive posting streak. I just didn’t have the energy to get out of bed and to the office and decided discretion was the better part of valor.
Today wasn’t much better but I’ll take any improvement at this point. I can’t wait to fully recover and enjoy the holiday season. So today starts a new effort at consistency.
Thought – I’ve been watching some of the news on that drug boat strike and the call to kill the two survivors of the first strike. My father was a Hospital Corpsman, which is the title now but I think it was Pharmacist Mate during that war and changed afterward. He served on a destroyer in the Pacific in WWII, in Korea and on Operation Deep Freeze.
I think he would have been appalled at the crap being peddled now by the clown show in office. Killing defenseless people is wrong. Of course, I could also imagine him being disgusted at the ass kissing our President does with the Communist leader of Russia.
I can’t help but feel the current people are putting so many of our service members in harm’s way. Not only that, we are all less safe with this incompetent leadership at the helm. Trump and Hegseth have proved they will throw you under the bus in a heartbeat, so the military leaders and law enforcement are going to be quickly faced with a number of very difficult decisions. Are you going to follow orders of a lying malignant narcissist and a news host, or are you going to do the right thing.
We don’t need more gravestones.

I agree it’s very disheartening

Glad to read you’re feeling a bit better.

I hope you continue feeling better. I’m glad my father isn’t around to see this.
