Had a nice long chat with my Uncle last night talking about the aging process among other things. Even at 90 he tells me that he needs to move forward with many projects including a massive garden and travels with a fifth wheel camper. We talked about having purpose in ones life at any age. I think men are not satisfied unless they have some sort of job. After working for 50 or 60 years stopping feels like you've been pushed off a cliff into the abyss when you enter retirement. He lives north of here and I will go visit him in September.
All these adds for online gambling that hit the airwaves beginning in January really bug me. Laws were passed in 2019 that allowed this action. I cannot stand the female pitch people and these ads try to persuade viewers that they can get something for nothing. Of course there are numerous disclaimers for gambling addiction hot lines that immediately follow the performance and the lies. Legalizing online gambling has been as helpful to this state as the legalization of fireworks that anyone can buy now at a supermarket. Thank you state legislature for both of these harmful gifts. Sadly, as many of you know, there was a young hockey played killed as he exited a hot tub being hit with a projectile in the chest. Why did we need either of these things? Do they enhance anyones life or have a permanent positive effect? Pockets are being lined and wealthy guys grow their money.
In some southern states far too many residents have refused to accept the vaccine for Covid-19. Their arrogance infuriates me. Whether it is because of some religious belief or government conspiracy theory or a fear of shots, they are endangering each other, their children and my grand children by their inactions.
Sorry about the soap box
all for now
