Remember the "I did this" gas pump Biden stickers?

If you don’t there was a point a year or so ago where I would find stickers of President Biden on gas pumps pointing and a word balloon that said, “I did this!” These would be plaster to gas pumps pointing at the price per gallon.
Remember?

Okay, one of you who has the ability to create similar stickers, please, a sticker of The tRump saying, “I lied about this!” that could be plastered on every supermarket refrigerator egg case, in the country, and every other place/ thing he has lied about.

Oh, and PLEASE SPARE ME any of this “That’s not your property and you shouldn’t do this” bullshit, ‘cause that doesn’t fly with me. This is not a ‘Mr Nice Guy’ point in our lives and I’ve done much worse just on a whim.
Any takers?

Hey, DeSantis,

Are we allowed to talk about climate change now?
Now that Tallahassee is covered in snow and ice?
And I-10 had to be closed down?
Huh?
Can we talk about global warming?
It's a shame you are still going to stubbornly deny reality.

Have you encountered a wild flamingo in Florida?

Jim Mooney (R state legislator) wants to drop the mockingbird as our state bird and replace it with the flamingo.
The mockingbird is endemic to ALL of Florida and has been our state bird for over a century. It's song is so refreshing when I'm working in the yard- it is amazing so much sound and so many themes are presented in a single song.
The only place I've seen flamingos is at Disney World, and maybe SeaWorld.
Ever hear a flamingo sing?

The people I pity are...

Those who have selected UHC for this coming years' Part 'B' supplemental.
I only thought of this on Friday when the mail arrived. UHC sent me a letter about their advantage plan. I thought to myself about all the seniors that have already selected UHC, and are now tied in for next year. I'm sure most people were unaware of the reputation of that company has (as was I). Now they will face next year with even MORE trepidation. Threats to SS, Medicare, our most vulnerable will have a rough road ahead.
Even though I will be seventy-two in March, I don't consider myself in the vulnerable group, I believe I could still throw a 'Mazel tov" coctail, if the need arises.

Turkey? Yes... Macy's parade? ✔️ Alice's Restaurant? ✔️

For those who don't know, Alice Brock died all too soon, aged eighty -three.

Today I upset myself even more - if possible.

I thought of Jimmy Carter and what that gentle man must be thinking today.

As a Heads Up

The fluid signature that I used to have has given way to arthritis and a more scrambled look.
I was intending to hand in our ballots at the County's elections office any way, (yes, I've gotten that paranoid) but I was concerned that my signature would get challenged. (Florida, need I say more?)
ANYWAY, I asked for them to run my signature against what was recorded 30 years back, and I 'cleared'.
The point of this rambling is to remind others who remember the Beatles coming to the US, the customer service window will run your signature right there so you know your scribble is good for another year!

Did anyone else see this banner on CNN?

My wife has serious glaucoma, but just told

me that CNN had a banner scrolling across the bottom saying that trump now claims Congo is releasing prisoners and giving them papers to allow them to enter the US.
Has anyone else seen this banner? As I mentioned she has difficulty visually, but I can believe trump said it.
His brown people crossing the border has fallen flat, so he had to get his fascist base something new to be enraged about.
Did anyone else catch this?

It's hard to find something to chuckle about these days... but here in Florida

we had a couple of hurricanes this month.
Today, I was in the garage, cleaning the place up, when a guy inside a truck called over and asked if I wanted some trees trimmed.
He was calling to me over six garbage cans full of tree branches and palm fronds.
There are four more cans on the side of the house, that I can’t put out because I would block the sidewalk or I wouldn’t be able to move our cars.
I just thought it was funny that that he was yelling over a wall of tree limbs if I wanted more tree debris.
As it is often said, “Only in Florida!”
