Waves of snow

Well boys and girls we are awake in North Dakota.  Ah, yes, a blizzard.  So look out the window.  Mate is going nuts worrying about one blizzard thing and another.  Her favorite is worrying about the vent for the furnace plugging.  Next she just transferred that thinking to the dryer vent.  The front door is just about the same height as the drift in front of it.  The back porch Kadizzle just cleaned a few days ago is back to it't original condition.

Inside coffee is brewing, and NPR is blasting on the radio.  Festivus is scheduled for Tomorrow and the dig out will take a massive effort.  The wood pile is not high enough and more wood will be needed.

There will be nothing like the year we are about to enter.  A crazy man has been elected president.  Trump is so unpredictable it is hopeless to figure what he will fix or mess up.  It is like going to the monkey cage at the zoo.  Of  course the old Trumpster has put his other favorite monkeys in the cage with him.  Giving an insane, egotistical, delusional, man control of nuclear weapons, the economy, and congress is going to be a sled ride we will not forget.  Most of us have tried controlling a drunk, now we will have a man drunk on power.  If we are lucky he will play golf and let lesser idiots try to manage the government.

Sometimes good things can accidentally happen.  What if an old abandoned building burns down in the middle of town.  If a new building or park takes it's place the tragedy was not so bad.  Trump could have the effect of educating people.  Sometimes a car wreck inspires people to drive safely.  Right away we will see the brakes come off as the Republicans try to destroy years of social progress as fast as they can. The current plan calls for throwing as many people into poverty as possible.  Tax breaks for the rich in and of themselves can accomplish this, but old Trump will include the destruction of social security and medicare.  The poor white trash that voted for the Donald will have fun once the food stamps evaporate.  Starving granny by taking away her social security will be fun to watch.  The military gang will be provided with so much money and so many new toys their heads will spin with joy. Christmas will be every day at the Pentagon.  We are only days away from the beginning of the Apocalypse.  But then again, maybe the trainers can restrain the monkey.  Maybe some Republicans will see the disaster Trump will try to bring on and stop it.  Maybe it will just take a little longer for the Republican party to implode than people think.  It will be a good show, and we will all have a front row seat.
