LOST IN THE WEED(S) "Whoah, it smells like the 60's" were the words I uttered as my daughter and I entered the shop where we were taking the Yule Ball decorating class. I call it a woo woo shop as it caters to us mystic types, and incense lots of incense. When we described the various herbs in our "balls" to the OH he said no cannabis? I said it smelled like it there. Daughter corrected no, incense, it was incense. Yep, we used it in the 60's to cover up the smell of the cannabis. What goes around, etc.
At any rate honorable daughter treated me to lunch and the afore mentioned herb ball session. We had a great time. I was intrigued by a "made to look" ancient tome purporting to contain "spells". However, it was covered in modern-day plastic wrap no doubt to keep the potency intact and to prevent an accidental pouring out of charms and curses. You can't mess with this stuff. I am a believer to a certain extent being Irish and all and there are too many things that defy explanation...like Trump for example. Talk about your bad juju. I do believe there are benevolent and evil spirits which we attract by our thoughts and behaviors.
MORE WEEDS Which begs the question of why we justify blowing up "alleged" drug boats and kill survivors described as protecting Americans from drugs. However, a different standard is applied when pardoning convicted, by an American jury after years of investigation, the former President of Honduras who masterminded a massive, state-sponsored drug trafficking operation funneling hundreds of tons of cocaine into the U.S.? Oh right, it's not about drugs at all. Evil begats, supports and defends evil.
So many issues, so little time. The democrats better show the same "swift of foot" our nemesis displays. In the annals of what can I do now to kill Americans, Rumple is reversing rules on the use of asbestos, rolling back the need to report forever chemicals and trashing clean water standards. I spent much of my early safety career with education about, monitoring and the mitigation of asbestos. It will cause one of the nastiest types of cancer with minimal exposure to sensitive individuals. But what the hey ho, they've also stopped funding cancer research so no one will ever make the connection 😟. I do hope there's a cave somewhere keeping all these scientific truths safe until sanity rules again. And a little typhoid here and there is not a deal-breaker apparently. I think the good old conservative "Readers Digest" will have to revise their "Life in the US" articles a bit to meet the current status quo.
A STAR IS GROWING The grandson was chosen as one of the two boys who will perform a solo at the Christmas concert even after forgetting one of his lines in audition leading to additional pa rum pum pum pums. The majority of auditions were girls who he claims were better. I hate to think there was bias in play, but getting boys involved young produces male actors for the musical theater in high school. Though I still think he's not too bad-Nana bias. So, his folks have another 10 intense days of his mandatory practicing; the house ringing with little drummer boy renditions until the proverbial cows, sheep and donkeys come home.
We have quite a few singers in the family. My mother was quite good as well as big sister and my nephews. It was said that one nephew's singing at his high school graduation baccalaureate brought tears and another was offered a music scholarship at that maizey blue school due to his talent. Though he chose the green and white college instead-good man.
IN OTHER MEDIA Two recordings over the next week will get me through February. The topics are "Workplace Violence Mitigation" and "Collateral Damage After Safety Incidents". The first, a retired police Lieutenant who runs a background investigation operation and trains active shooter response, claims you can't prevent the violence; at best you mitigate the damage by tapping the "warrier within"- hmmm. Me, I'm under the table looking for that warrier and sending him/her out there. The second claims he produced the first ever safety podcast-hmmm. Also has some good stories/examples.
Christmas is slowly taking over the living room in its inevitable agonizing process. Since we don't host the "horde" anymore, we don't put quite as much out there but it's rather hard to tell. Hopefully this year we can retire the bear who delivers M&Ms from an unusual place as he has been broken for two years! But when one has a saver in the house discarding items is a real struggle. Peace/stay strong 💚 💛💙
