The Navajos versus the homeless during Covid-19

Still alive.

So I saw an article in the Washington Post about how horrible it is the way the Navajo tribe lives without proper water or sewage in this time of Covid-19.

The tribes of many nations have lived this way since the Trail of Tears. No one has really rallied to help people on the reservations. No one has helped when the Native American Tribes were pillaged by the gambling creepos and signed them into contract that gained no monies for the people who did not have a clue they were being screwed. And no one stepped up to help with any of the problems in the past.

So it seems we are still gonna let the homeless lay in the streets during Covid-19 but we are now gonna feel bad that the reservations still don't have decent places to wash their hands since 1832.

As if feeling bad is really going to help with either one of these problems. Seems that is all most Norte Americanos are good at, feeling bad about shit.

Where did we go so wrong?

Missing Sam Walton or his kids suck

My Granddaughter the artist

I remember when I discovered Walmart. It was down south, Mississippi I think and it had the most interesting stuff. And it was all made in the USA. It was the best store ever. And then his kids took over and it was worse than KMart, dirtier than KMart and the people were all nasty and filthy and scary.

WTF. It seemed to happen overnight. That is why KMart closed, all the people went to Walmart so they did not have to dress up. It is just nasty.

And Sam's Club, don't get me started, who the hell goes there? No, no, no. It makes me itchy just to think about that store. My sister-in-law the queen went there and I was just appalled that she brought that nasty shit in her house, you knew people were peeing on that stuff out back. And don't tell me that does not happen because I used to have to go review auto parts that people peed on and those fuckers actually kept the containers of pee for me to review. And you people wonder why I drink.

Anyhoo, the moral of this story is do all the people who buy from Walmart and Amazon, who get their shit from China, realize that they are the ones causing extreme climate change because China does not worry about that EPA garbage. People, all you did was transfer your responsibilities to people who do not have toilets and running water.

Yep in a bad mood today. 

Bless her heart

I make menus so we shop within reason. Big Daddy is known to go overboard so I try and help him, plus he gets tired of thinking up stuff to cook. So my new thing is to cook from a different cookbook each week. This is French week. Two different cookbooks but all Francais.

Last night was roast chicken. It was delish. You roast it with a piece or so of bread on the bottom of the pan and set the chicken on the bread. The bread itself comes out crispy and chicken flavored, just perfect. The cook gets this special tidbit.

Also lots of lentils, soups and salads. With slivered red onions. Delish.

I am also taking care of the old folks in Florida, my mom and her cohorts. Mostly I am trying to keep my mom away from them. She is in quarantine caused she did not follow the rules. One of her buds thought her air conditioner was making a strange noise at 2 AM and she could not get it to shut off. So she called 911. Bless her heart, they told her to pull the breakers.

Jolene, please come get this asshat

Lily dog is crying for her cookies.

Fed ex destroyed the box and sent it back to me. It was not that bad, they should have called and I would have sent it on. Now it is repacked and on its second journey to Florida. This is not the way it was shipped and I now have spent a fortune to send some dog cookies BFE, Florida.

Well the garbage people are not wearing masks, not staying 6 feet apart and are high-fiving each other. WTF is there to high five about garbage.

Big Daddy finally got some dirt. He is happy. He washed my front window, I am happy.

So Gretchen, the GOV has shut us down to the end of May and the legislature is gonna sue her. And all the farmer's markets are opening this month but I think it is illegal to shop at them. Gretch keeps saying she is saving lives but that was never the point, the point was not to overwhelm the hospitals. If I have to stay in the house until the virus is gone or there is a vaccine I could be here a damn long time.

And Dolly Parton is wrong, if BD doesn't quit trying to piss me off I am gonna pay Jolene to come get his ass.

Michigan Beer

Lenten Rose from my yard.

Big Daddy had a Zoom meeting with 3000 participants. Nancy Pelosi cannot get Congress on line.

My yard got mowed today, good thing our Governor is now drinking beer. Michigan beer not Canadian beer. It is on You Tube.

Covid-19 or what doesn't kill us makes us stronger

Me in front of the clock tower in Graz, Austria. Yes it was cold.

I will never forget when I got on the plane. There were 13 windows and I was in seat 13. I was not a happy camper to get on this shit little airplane in the dreary weather, I was not yet a good flyer. When the rattletrap took to the skies and broke through the clouds and I could see the tops of the Alps in the sunshine I was thrilled to see such a beautiful sight. I flew from Vienna to Graz in amazement.

Well now I am gonna bitch, first to all the asshats that take the whole family shopping on the weekends to Trader Joe's. You are so damn lucky I am the one staying at home during the lockdown. If I had to stand in line and wait for you and your spouse and the kids to exit the store I would be calling the damn Governor and telling that witch to get her ass over here and take care of this shit. This is not the time to be "those people". If I can't buy a gallon of paint you don't need to be bringing all your snotty ass kids to the store. Got it?

I am seeing a huge amount of people on Facebook whining about this virus and lockdown. All seem to be in their twenties. I am gonna say this one time. There is a reason they say only the strong survive. If this nonsense is gonna do you in, well you need to get help. This is nothing, it is irritating, it is boring and yes it is killing people. If you work in hospitals you see people die every day. If you are a mom you see new messes every day. If you are over twenty you know there is way worse shit out there and you will probably see it close up and personal at some point. Quit whining. Life is not fair. As the over used phrase says-put on your big girl/boy panties and get on with it, whatever you have to do.

If you need to hide, go hide, get help. The rest of us have shit to do.

Gotta have a plan

Oh my gosh, a wine cellar in Austria in the winter. Yes it was cold and yes that is my glass. Kidding.

Trying to get unbored. Trying to get Big Daddy on a schedule. I am just in the rut and can't seem to get out. BD needs a firm schedule or he just wanders about. After I finish this I am forcing myself to do one damn thing that is important. Just one.

I am planning a trip for when this is over. Don't care how long it takes someday we will again go on a pleasure trip. I have picked Charleston, SC. We have never been, they have a lot of history to explore, great food and a nice sounding hotel, The Dewberry.

There are great houses to explore in town but one outside of town, a plantation house intriques me. It is called Drayton Hall and it is currently being restored. It was never restored in the past and seems to have hosted both the original owners family and the freed slaves at least until the 1970's. It is a Palladian style home and I know nothing of architecture so I am investigating this. Something to do. And I must find out what a cooper is, or was.
