DO NOT URINATE ON HIS GRAVE. That will get you arrested for public urination. Pee into a 40 ounce beer bottle. Let it age. Pour that out on his grave so you can claim you're only pouring one out in respect.

Drove all the way down to Red Wing. Enjoyed the drive in the country. Bought myself a taco pizza. Ate 3/4 of it over the course of the afternoon. The rest I'll eat tomorrow morning. This was a good day.

Will the half or more of the National Guard who don't support him finally stand up and be counted? Yes, half or more. At the end of Trump's last term, a Military Times poll of active service members gave him a 33% approval rating and 50% disapproval. Doubt it's gotten better for him.

I hope that the Democrats are going on a nationwide search to find good candidates to run in every congressional district, nationally and at every state level. Not just the status quo of the same people who aren't making a dent.

Once, while picking up cash and receipts from Family Court, I watched a man scream that he wasn't going to pay child support until they restored his driver's license. When they'd suspended his driver's license because he wasn't paying his child support. Landmark case, I'm sure.

Over the years I've learned that there are times I can go out and handle such things, and times that I cannot, and I have to have the patience and compassion toward myself to listen to that feeling and not force myself into uncomfortable social situations when my mind and body aren't ready.
