Today Is Thursday, August 14, 2025: This Is What Happened.

Sure smokey. There plenty of fires burning around us. Although we don't see any flames which is good. Actually I like going outside. But with smoke it doesn't really allow me to go out and joy the mountain air. I understand rain is heading this way. Got my finger cross when rain comes that the lighting won't over power it.

I'm amaze how some people. Not sure if there actual people. I'm talking about the maga ones. Those Trump supporters. Some guy in the senior center thought Trump was for the working people. And that those tariffs was going help the majority of people. At this point the tariffs has put slight change on how we live. Then someone else said the demarcates just want to hand out free stuff. Statement time...Ones  needs to qualify.   Each of safety net program ones has guidelines. Opinion time...Most of them needs to be updated.  

This post was inspired by High Rise, and DRIVING. I understand young people isn't all that interested in driving. Driving is done by each state. When I was in high school back in the mid 70's it was offered after school, and it cost $20, that includes a learner permit. You had 15½. That was in the state of Washington. Although my friends which wasn't all that smart, and teenagers really don't make great choices. I had actually start driving around 13 years old. A few times I had to drive my dad home from the local drinking establishments. So after driving lesson I got my driving license when I was 16. And my driving test. I scored a 98% which was a the highest of that class. 

Now driver education is quite expensive now. In United States it will run between $400 and $800. Or one can wait til there 18 years old. And take that state written and driving test. With out driving-lesson your insurance will be at higher rate. Until your 25 years old. I'm thinking what my son had to pay for driving – lesson. I know it was under $400. Thinking it was between $200 and $250. Plus I understand cruising isn't a thing now days.

Took Murphy to the eye appointment for his pre-op for his cataract surgery on the 20th.

Coffee is on.

Today Is Thursday, November 7, 2024: This Is What Happened.

 

A few days ago, we woke up to snow in the mountains. By now, we usually have a skiff in the yard.

This morning, Murphy and I went to two stores: an auto parts store and a grocery store. At the auto store, we bought a quart of oil.

The snow blower needs just general maintenance. Like changing the oil and checking the grease.

For food, they had a bake sale today. You could pick up $76 worth of food. Roast beef was on sale for $3.98 a pound. I'm going to cut the roast into 1/3. Ended up cutting 2 package of stew meat.

I just finished my second art journal, which took me about nine months to finish. I thought of sharing three pages.

I don't care for it.

Here is the one I think is in middle of the road.

I like this one.

I hope to get a walk-in shortly.

I'm hooking up with SKY WATCH FRIDAY., ART FOR FRIDAY.

Coffee is on.
