I want insurance to cover acupuncture for my arthritis

I want single payer healthcare for all

I want my kids' student loans (which we pay) to be partially forgiven or at least the interest rates reduced and frozen

I want a decent used Toyota Prius in good condition

I want Citizens United repealed

and most of all

I want to see Bernie Sanders become our president for the next 8 years, with a Congress that will work for the American people, not corporations

Oh, and I want someone to invent great-tasting calorie-free and healthful chocolate.
or else.

Your children are sick and dying? They shall be healed.
The Earth is changing for the worst.? Nope..not any more.

In short, I want to be the God that people deserve...not like that other phony bastard.

I think that's enough.

A loaf of bread,
a jug of wine,

I was one of those "community organizers" back then, and going to college.
Could have gotten 10x as much done with the right tools.

Serious puppy hunger.
Sometimes my friend the Animal Control Officer shows up with a puppy to foster, I have no trouble returning it after a month or 2.

It's kinda like hot dogs, but longer and a slightly different color. There's 6 in there if I remember right. It is shrink wrapped and in the butcher aisle. The only sticker/label on it just says "1.00."

There's no date. No other label. Just a styrofoam tray, the sausage-hot dog things, plastic wrap, and a dollar sticker. Although I guess the store itself has only been open a few months, so it can't be years old.

Weird as hell.
We have had a pattern all winter of temps in the 40's days/ 30's nights, for a few days, then a warm up all the way to the70's
( Dec. 26th it was 77 degrees!!)
then another cool down for a few days, followed by 70's again for a couple days.

in fact it is 71 right now.
which will be followed by a severe thunderstorms tomorrow night, and back to a cool down.
