1. I have to say

that I went ballistic tonight

Dear hubby wanted not to cook and I can never say that won’t work for me

So ..

(Background: we live in a rural red farming community with very few options … so a bar and grill 5 miles away takes my call in ToGo order)

So … I call in our food order and wait 15 minutes to go pick it up … hubby waits in the car while I go in to get the food …

There are a few of the regular folks in there … most of them are known to me (been here 30+ years) and one of them says hello, how are you …

Big mistake …

Cuz …

I look at them and say …

I am horrified … Renee Cooke was MURDERED by our government goons in Minnesota … and any of you who voted for Trump DID THIS

YOU NEED TO WAKE THE FUCK UP

I called each of them out by name (I know them all) and that sitting there denying what they had done wasn’t working for me

….


Anyway … I had at least a 10 minute rant … am certain they will have a few bad moments in their heads tonight
