Happy Friday morning, Bluesky ☕️ I have taken some more steps toward organizing a 24 Consumer strike in protest of SCOTUS. Please reply yes, aye or whatever your choice of support in the comments, so I can see if this will be viable. Thank you in advance

My youngest grandson (8) asked me why I didn't like rich people. Told him I don't care if there are rich people so long as everyone else has enough to survive & live somewhat comfortably. Told him we teach kids to share, & scold them if they don't & that I'd like adults to remember that lesson.

Not into fireworks. I do like camp fires, bon fires, fireflies, firing up the grill, all with a bottle of firewater...

Sometimes I feel the word pedestrian and target are interchangeable...Cell phones have made it even more dangerous (driver and walker both on them spells danger)

Can't say I'm a big fan of the 4th of July, other than it's also my oldest grandsons birthday, but I do like any excuse to grill and chill so Happy 4th.

I do find it amusing that some folks think all on the Left are a bunch of pacifists that will shy away from a physical confrontation. I personally don't think that's the case.
