Stupid Rules

A picture is worth a thousand words, especially if I’m the writer. Open parking lot but, rules are rules. The driver might get fired for not putting out the cone.

Predictably, my sister, the insurance adjuster, defends this.

Yes, on street parking or other restrictive situations (alleys, crowded lots).

So, WSF, why does this irritate you? It is management telling their employees,

 “We think you are stupid and cannot exercise good judgment”. Subliminally, of course.

Employee’s subliminal message to management?

 “You aren’t managers, leaders, you have no guts, no vision, no spine. Why should I trust you, or anything you say?”

More stupid rules. An excerpt from a letter I sent to the Chairperson of the housing authority to whom I pay rent.

“I am aware our Governor, via Executive Orders, has dictate draconian measures be taken. Perhaps the Housing Authority has no choice but to follow them.

However, there is another health issue not being considered or addressed. I speak here of mental health.

The isolation and lack of social interaction among the residents seems to creating even more depression among a population already at risk. We have, in the past, had one resident dead in her apartment two days before discovery. Another lay for three days unable to move. Preventing these situations may not be feasible; lack of social interaction (has anybody seen XXXXXX today?) is. How soon will we see suicides by desperate, lonely, and isolated people?”

That will probably get me evicted.

Almost Summer

Up to 3” of snow all along the Rocky Mountains above 8,300’ and I-80 closed between Cheyenne and Laramie yesterday. We also had the first (maybe) recorded Derecho in the past 48 hours. The picture is a friend’s deck in Yampa, CO.

Derecho

A derecho is a widespread, long-lived, straight-line wind storm that is associated with a fast-moving group of severe thunderstorms known as a mesoscale convective system. Derechos can cause hurricane-force winds, tornadoes, heavy rains, and flash floods

East of Greeley the town of Akron got hit with a 101 mph gust last night causing a lot of damage.

Otis, a town near Akron.

Today the climate change cultists are at full throttle pushing their message.

Trump for President

Whatever I inadvertently did to get on multiple mailing lists has resulted in my inbox being flooded. Each one wants money. Sorry Charlie, this is an empty well. Yeah, I will vote for your guy. No, I won’t donate, don’t care to meet him in person, nor attend any rallies.  How far is it to November 3^rd?

Depression Fighter

It is hard to be depressed when you wake up every morning to an exuberant Lab. Banner and I are good for each other.

Antifa

See where they have “seized” the Seattle East Precinct Hqs.. Yeah, they are on a roll.

Tom Arnold

This is floating around Facebook. Whenever I see it, I reply,

“Tom, lead from the front”.

Enough

Time to walk the dog. Stay safe, if you can. If not, take some of the assholes out along with you.
