Holy cow, check out the price of Romaine hearts

I paid 8.99 for a sack of romaine hearts. It was I think 3.50 to 4 dollars. Wow, I am guessing labor shortage.

Okay he talked with Brannon last night

On Morning Joe. So Bannon told him their loss was about affordability. Uh yeah, that is part of it but not all. Geez the fact that Trump is an ass you think is not relevant. I turned the channel.

So just realized the more outrageous

Trump gets the more we tune him out. I did that this morning, was going to watch Ali Velshi, I like the guy. But he started his show with trump saying outragous things that just pissed me off. So I turned the station because I just can’t listen to it. Yeah, this is planned, they want us to tune out

My in laws are all Magas

Gawd, I need therapy just talking to them. Overheard a conversation about mail in voting. Apparently she (sister in law) is against it. Swallows Trumps bs, hook line and sinker. Like uh mail in voting can not be hacked

In Kansas we pay attention to the weather

That is our hobby. When I was young the tornado sirens were always going off. We had a volunteer fire department, so the sirens were different. Now, well no. It has been so quiet for quite a few years. Yes, climate change and they know it. At least someone my age, 70:years of age

The Kansas aquifers are drying out

In western Kansas especially. Those guys are out there growing corn. Corn is a high water crop, takes lots of water to grow corn. In semi arid country, lots of irrigation. Remembering going to Colorado and not taking I 70, yeah saw all the irrigating. Man this is not sustainable and they know that. For the life of me I do not know to link the chart, but it can be fount under Kansas geological survey

The Mexicans next door won't let their 2 year old out of the house

So I was sitting out on my front porch and I guess the grandpa of the people Nextdoor, showed up with a four or five year old and he was skateboarding on the street, so the two year old , inside the house next door, was trying to skateboard and they grabbed him up and put him back up in the house. Some weird stuff. Will not let him out of the house . They are terrified. They are Hispanic

Home insurance is changing, and not for the better

I am in Wichita, we had a hail storm September 3, golf ball size. So now our house insurance will not pay for a lot of damage. Talked to the insurance agent, he says this is the trend. The insurance companies have been loosing money so they have been cutting the things they pay for and now they are making money. The big insurance companies have been buying out the smaller companies so they will have a monopoly and can charge whatever they want. We have money put back, so we are okay. Both are in our 70’s.
