In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

Now That It Was Created, What Is To Be Done?

Through illegal elections, financial influence, and outright thievery, the U.S. has a ruling class. This class of people hold important government positions, weld their power with impunity, and stolen a tremendous amount of money from those that pay taxes. Now what do we do? Many have no wealth, except what they acquired through illegal stock trades, slush funds, and using regulations to improve their ability to acquire wealth. With that wealth came power, and with that power, they ignored laws, decency, and did so without any attempt at integrity. 

If those in the government were in organized crime, (I know, it is) their assets would be seized, and they would be charged for their crimes. They do this with drug dealers, bookies, and hired thugs. Whether this happens is to be seen, but the example must be set, and the criminals running the country need to face their prosecutions. 

Cleaning Up

Pelosi, and others, grifted money for San Francisco, which in a national perspective, is of no importance. Included are unneeded buildings and millions for a trust for a city park.  According to Democrats, it's retaliation. Maybe so, but regardless, the taxpayers don't need to be paying for things that have no purpose to the rest of the country in what has become a large outdoor toilet in California. The pendulum is swinging hard, and without mercy. I have no sympathy. In fact, I have no problem if it's retaliation. Pelosi through down the gauntlet, and now will find she can't escape the reaction.

Update Photos

I'm posting these photos with the hope that parents will show them to their children that spend a lot of time in the sun. Lighter skin has a higher chance of cancer, but the ionizing radiation of the sun can damage all types of skin. In the end, Mohs procedure is the lesser of procedures when dealing with skin cancer. If it metastasizes, the extra treatments include chemo and radiation therapy. If it's melanoma, the chances of survival can be really low.

Update

I had my Moh's surgery this morning. I gave us 2 -1/2 hours to reach what should be a 1-1/2 hour trip. After dealing with a parking lot, when there was a wreck on US 90, and having to turn around to seek another route, we reached our destination with only four minutes to spare. I asked the receptionist if the 8:00 am appointment was hard to fill, she replied "it is". I can see why. Dealing with Houston rush hour traffic on the major highways, the interchanges, and the ass-clowns that drive like its Daytona in their trucks with the loud pipes, I can see where that time slot is not preferable. Those types need to be required to have a shock collar on their neck, which is activated by anyone that has the crap scared out of them, when they drive like idiots. 

Anyway, the surgeon stated my melanoma was Phase 0. The cancer was caught at the earliest stage and hadn't progressed into the lower skin levels. That was extremely good news, and my observation of my skin now needs to involve mapping my skin, which I will pursue with my dermatologist. If he isn't as aggressive with this, I'll find another dermatologist. 

I'll post photos of the divot he carved in my neck after I remove the initial bandages, which will probably be sometime tomorrow. I want to see the stitches, and count them like I usually do. Tonight I'll continue capturing the sleep I missed last night. I didn't get but a couple of hours, and my nap this afternoon was not sufficient  to recover the lost sleep. I do have some pain medication, if needed, but so far, there isn't any; even with the numbness now gone.

One good thing is that my dermatologist locally will remove the stitches, which will remove the need to participate in the madness called "rush hour" in Houston. I wouldn't wish that on many people, but probably would reserve some of that agony on people I don't care for.

I'm Tired of Waiting

When are they going to arrest one of the obvious traitors? That, and arresting those that obviously broke financial laws to make millions with insider trading. I don't care if they're still investigating. Make them wait that time out in jail, just like those that were arrested for being in the capitol January 6, 2021. Allow them no bond, since they have enough money to be considered a flight risk, and seize their assets. Fair is fair and I'm tired of waiting.
