A New Beginning for Me - but now lots of bitching

I am done defining my self as retired.  Now past all that.  We sit with Covid-19 looming over our heads, dealing with appropriate limited social constructs.  Trying to think of something to write about beyond my last set of entries.

  45 will soon be departing leaving in his wake the near demise of our democracy and republic.  He has been the most disruptive and destructive head of the executive branch of government in my lifetime.  Now his minions are continuing an effort to overturn our last legal presidential election.  Think of that for a moment.  One candidate gets more votes than the other.  He/she is the one that is elected and assumes the office on Inauguration Day.  That's it.  End of story.  Now they want a commission to study the legal voting process of the states where he lost, not the states he carried.  We sit here January 3rd.  New president is constitutionally Installed on January 20th.  At least 10 days for this commission to do it's job.  There are those in the Senate that are planning and advocating violent confrontations on January 6th which is normally a ceremonial event to declare the Presidency.  There will be lots of speeches and fist bounding.  This is what these guys do.  In the meanwhile, citizens are dying in California at a rate of 1 every ten minutes.  The vaccines are being distributed at a rate of 1/4 their promised delivery.  The Southern states that basically cast off the CDC guidelines for protections, are running out of beds.  My patience with the so-called politicians that represent us is expired.

But enough ranting.  

all for now

Promise, next entry will be more uplifting.
