we'd sing and dance forever and a day" 

And just like that,
they were gone... forever.
Poof!!!!

2026 Sitrep

NO ITS NOT BAGDAD BOB NOT EVEN CLOSE

4 months in and 2026 is a total shit show here. I’m not even factoring in the world picture. My health went south and stayed there. Still not fully sure this is over. 

I thought 2020 was my worst year. I was wrong. It’s 2026 and the year isn’t even close to half over.

Screw this.

Old age blows. Forget the it’s all in your head mantra. It blows that’s all!  

New Year Same old Virus

 

Still sick. Still coughing. Still blowing almost constant snot (for lack of a better word). No energy. I've stopped taking Robitussin extra strength  after 4 weeks. I have lost my balance and taken 3 falls in 1 week. I don't think Robitussin is supposed to be taken that long. I think the 2 are connected. Investigating that this week. I would go to a doctor but they don't prescribe anything that will knock this out of me. Too scared of my becoming addicted to medicine that is strong enough to work. So going to a doctor is a total waste of time and expense.

2026 getting off to a suck start.

Wednesday Dec 3, 2025

 Last day of the year. Since Thanksgiving I have had flu like symptoms. Cannot ever type now my head is mush.  2025 just go away.  I mean than sincerely.

Monday

A new day. A new week. Almost a new year. Same old cough. Same old sniffles. Same old runny nose. Same old feeling achy all over. What is a person to do?

1. Suck it up. Get on with life. This method doesn't help. 

2. Read the social media stuff. why? So you can see that almost the entire population of the US has whatever this is. I.E. misery loves company. This also does nothing to help.

3. Go to the doctor. They will prescribe you what the latest meds are that they get a kickback from prescribing. In the year 2025, I have found that Doctors as a group, do not treat illnesses. This is the health care "industry" that they belong to.  Operative word: INDUSTRY as in they work for big pharma and the Health care insurance oligarchs. True health care went away back in the late 20th century. If you are a senior citizen such as me, Their plan is to just smile and prescribe Tylenol and Ibupropen. They know I'll be dead soon and that's really their goal. because when the Baby Boomer generation goes away, Health care costs will drop as we die off. Why try to prolong our lives. Is that really dark? You bet it is and I believe with all my being that is exactly what's gong on.

4. Read up on the coming AI debacle. That will make you feel better. You think your sick now, just wait till the entire Capitalist ideas of Wages and Jobs and units of production all vanish for good. Then what? This bug is nothing compared to that. 

Feel Better???

I thought not.  But it is a new week. We've got that going for us.

Keep your head on a swivel. Maintain situational awareness at all times. old joe biden gave us that requirement.

No Matter What... Dogs are still Awesome!!!

Last Week Of 2025

 What can I say about 2025? Except it went fast. Which is good because it follows a string of crap years that started in 2020. This seems to be the  trend worldwide. To circle the bowl spinning faster and faster.  No one seems to wants this to stop. AI is on the cusp now. If you think things are bad, just wait till the tech giants (not the name brands... these are much more dangerous) get control. Computers taking everyone's jobs. Where does that end? 

At my age I am torn by conflicting emotions. On the one hand its depressing being in my 70's Nothing works right. A list of maladies that grows with each year. On the other hand, I really don't want to be around when the entire world goes into chaos. I only worry about my grandkids. What are they growing up into now? Will there even be jobs? Its too depressing. 

One thing will be true and constant. The bad guys are going to control it. And destroy what's left of what we once had. You can bet the ranch on that.

Off The Grid

Intentions: to write every day. Something, ANYTHING  Life however became a shit sandwich and all I would have written would have been whiny self pitying crap. Sooooooo I stopped. And until such time as life turns toward a sunnier place, I won't burden you with my shit.

I will share a video from a band I liked back in the 90's. 20th century. Really good days,

Quick Thought

Starting to see complaints on various Social Media sites. Why? AI. It's becoming too much. Some of the images/memes can be fun, but the complaint states: We want a way to filter out AI stuff. Too much. 

I concur. 100 percent. Absitively!!

Memories

EPCOT Dive Quest.
Quite a few years back.

The Magic Band was rated Undersea safe.

 
No photo shop or AI. I’m on the wet side of the window. My Granddaughter on the dry side in  warm climate controlled safety.
Little did I realize how I was rocking the “Baby Shark” Hairdo.
