You Don't have to listen

 So some singer has irritated the whiny weak people with his newish song. Apparently it implies all sorts of horrid wicked things and should never be heard again. So, of course, I listen. Good song. I like it. It implies how the world should be but isn't. And I watched the video with its implied violence. Well, that is not implied that's what it shows. But I've seen it on the news already so it implied nothing for me. So,, people who have nothing better to do then annoy the rest of us, just don't listen. Don't tell your friends because I guess the song is doing really well on the charts. I am sure the singer appreciates that.

Only in OR

 It seems the governor is having a hard time deciding if she should sign a bill that would allow people to pump their own gas. She had no problems signing more controversial bills. I am confused as to why a 12 year old can get an abortion or change its gender with no input from its parents but an adult person can't decide whether to pump his own gas without government oversight.

I'd like to be a writer

 or at least be able to get the thoughts that sound so good in my head onto paper. When I try to write the words that I think sound so great do not translate. I can not get them to make sense, to be clear and concise. Maybe I try to make the words politically correct. They are not in my head. Not that anyone reads this but I wonder what they would think if I wrote what I really wanted to. I also wonder if I would care.

The 4th part 2

 Sounded like a war zone last night. All illegal fireworks. Which is weird since the county was under a red flag warning and the city was under a burn ban that included fireworks. I read posts that said 'I bought them Im going to use them', didn't give us enough warning', and 'this is America I can do what I want' I understand all of them and I never listen to government officials but with a little common sence you would see that the ban was warranted. Near 100 degrees, no rain and hot for days, winds, prime conditions for fires. But no we got to have fireworks which were already purchased illegally. And then set them off for hours. And the official response? crickets. This does put me in mind of a recent situation where the people stood against the government. You know, masks, no schools, no working. With no scientific data to back it up. Oh wait, the people were all for that one.

Happy 4th

 I love fireworks. Not the safe and sane ones but the big ones that light up the sky.  Here the use of fireworks has been put under noise violations which stipulate when you can and can't set them off. The city has made an effort to let people know about this ordinance and the fine you will get if you break it. Problem is no one cares. Fires works are going off day and night and not the legal ones. And is the city sending someone out immediately to issue the dreaded fine? Probably not. If you live in a pro crime state this is, sadly, to be expected. No one has any regard for the laws or the people that make and enforce them. Gotta wonder why laws are even made.
