I just turned off CNN and MSNOW . . .

. . . and dug into a BIG bowl of Tillamook Coffee Almond Fudge ice cream. In fact, I may eat the whole half-gallon.

CNN and MSNOW were doing a superb job reporting on the stupidity that has seized the Trump administration and I have heard enough for one day about stupid people doing stupid shit.

And now I learn that Trump is going to "speak to the nation" tomorrow night.

If the ice cream runs out, I may shoot myself.

Do something really decadent like eating ice cream on top of cheesecake.

And either Hershey's chocolate or caramel syrup.

If you've never tried their cheese, you are missing out on some of the best you can buy. If you're into spicy cheeses, their "Spicy Colby Jack" sliced cheese or their "Spicy Mexican Blend" shredded cheese are both...uh,uh,uh..spicy

We were at the factory towards the end of August last year, and they were sold out of the spicy cheeses.

They are really popular.

watch the three-part series that Ken Burns did on Henry David Thoreau. I thoroughly enjoyed all of it. Thoreau is one of my heroes. The last 5 minutes at the end of Part 3 shows how off course we have gotten from learning Thoreau's lessons about nature, the environment and what constitutes a good life.

I love wildlife and nature and it hurts me to think about it. I do donate to a bunch of charities. I found out that I can’t work at the Hunane Society due to cat allergies. I can only handle about 3 cats at a time at home.

I’ve noticed it’s often in low quantities at the stores nearby. I’d stock up, but I know that’s a bad idea. They wouldn’t last too long.

You're lucky you can eat it..

I used to do that and now I can't do it anymore.. it's soothing to the soul.. that and Pizza, which is another old favorite that is off limits.

We all feel your pain... I don't even have a TV for a long time now.. fuck M$M

last night. I pick up a few shifts here and there. Most locals are pretty moderate to left leaning. The owner is very left as are most of us staff. None are happy with Kier Starmer (nor am I), but do appreciate his vehemence in keeping us out of this quagmire. Anyway I digress…
As I walked in for my shift last evening, one of our regulars was in. Hadn’t seen him for awhile and I do like him quite a lot. He’s a retired police officer, comes in once a month nowadays, downs about 10 pints of ale and then his delightful wife comes to fetch him. Anyway, he says to me “it’s decided, you’re just British now [cue other locals nodding in agreement]. We can’t have you associated with that lump of shit any longer. Make sure they let you leave the next time you’re in the US, or we’ll get the local MP involved.”
I chuckled. We then discussed the absolute degradation in the relationship between the two countries. Such a shame really.

I can never seem to get just one carton, so I end up with another couple of their flavors. I like Oregon Dark Cherry for a change of pace and I’m a sucker for Peanut Butter & Chocolate. For crying out loud, life is too short not to indulge in ice cream and since we are stuck living through Drumpf, treats are a must on a regular basis. 😊
