Sunrise

So far a quiet morning.  Been writing to old friends on FB Messenger that are up at this early hour.  All in the household are still sleeping.  I call this photo "Sunrise at the Penitentiary" taken of my balcony.  

I should start watching "Pollyanna" movies and programs. These reality based shows are really depressing me.  Should really get drunk or high and binge watch "Curb Your Enthusiasm" to forget about the worlds problems.  But I can't stop from viewing the train-wrecks.  Even the normally perky Jen Psaki our press secretary is looking beat up and struggling for answers that are not the pre written responses. 

Our manager has issued another threatening letter to the residents ordering them to wear masks in the common areas.  Yes, mask wearing is a good idea but a reminder rather than threat is a better option.  In other apartment news, they are shutting down the electrical grid here next Tuesday and have demanded that all stay in their apartments (cells) for the duration or leave the premises.  We will be staying with the animals at Katey's.

I am still angry at the inequity shown on the Hulu series "Dopesick".  The drug pushing execs and sales people at Purdue Pharma should receive more punishment for their promotion and profiting on their drug Oxycontin.  Michael Keaton and the entire cast of this series are scary believable and his character's fall into addiction is shocking.  This most shocking real story on this topic is that the Sackler family has been judged immune from any further lawsuits from victims or their families or really anyone that suffered loss from the use of this drug.  The company went bankrupt and paid $4.3 billion fine but without any admission of accountability. This family still has a vast fortune and life will go on for them as normal. 

Another enlightening and disturbing offering is the HBO program "Four Hours at the Capital". It gives an on the ground viewing of the January 6th insurrection at our nations Capitol building.  I couldn't complete it.  My heart was ripped out by these terrorists.  The brave officers that fought them off have not been given the credit they deserved.  This documentary should be shown more widely than on a paid subscription media service.  These anarchists wanted to take down the government plain and simple.  Their leader did little to quell the violence.  It greatly pains me that many in this country still want him to hold the high office. 

Soccer game and rain in the offing today

all for now
