A Nice Walk with my Kiddos

Smiley, Junie and I set out on a walk to enjoy the weather today. We walked to and from the Family Dollar store, meandering a bit along the route.

Norma McCorvey, aka Jane Roe

Norma McCorvey, the woman who was the anonymous plaintiff in Roe v Wade, the 1973 SCOTUS case that decided that individual state laws banning abortion were unconstitutional, has died at 69.

RIP

Yeah, No

Ummm, maybe that's nature's way of saying "Eat something else you jackass."

Summer?

February 18th. Milwaukee, WI. Normal high: around 33. Today's high: 68. If this is global warming, I'll take it.

I'm having trouble expressing how happy - how Milwaukee - I feel as I enjoy a great fish fry in a church basement. I opted for the baked fish, as you can see. The basement filled up within minutes of us sitting down.

Easter Wreaths

Lisa made these for my Mom, at her request. The pictures, honest and truly, don't do the work justice. My Mom was very grateful.

Speedway was Robbed

Speedway on 124th and National was just robbed. I walked into the store just moments after the robber left. The cashier is OK but was treated roughly and was in tears. The cops are already on the scene.

Why Change Perfection?

The thimble is my piece of choice. This isn't progress; it's an outrage.

The US Did Nothing

Russia threatened and harassed Ukraine, then walked in and took Crimea from them by force.

The US did nothing.

Russia shot down a passenger jet.

The US did nothing.

Russia sent troops into the Middle East, negating a ban enforced by 12 US Presidents.

The US did nothing.

Russia taunted our naval vessels.

The US did nothing.

All of that was under OBAMA and yet the press is trying to convince us that *Trump* is somehow selling us out to Moscow? Good grief, get off the drugs. #DoNotTrustTheMedia

Yup.

Chipper, super happy people anger me. A lot. Discuss.

Exploring Costco with Lisa

Not my words, but certainly my thoughts: Nothing makes more of an impactful statement, in advocating for acceptance into the United States and calling for equal treatment of American civil rights, than waving a Mexican Flag, the symbol of a nation you didn't love enough to remain in and help improve.

Strolling with Junie

I took Junie with me on a walk to pick up some takeout, then stopped at the park.

Impractical Jokers Live

We're back from seeing Impractical Joker's for the second time in two years! They were even funnier this time around, and seemed to venture off script more often. Q centric this time, with barely a word from Murr, the only downer was that the finale was a repeat of the video that closed out the 2015 show :(

Still, a great time!
