Just Because You Can, Should You?


 

Just because you can, should you? Note the receiver hitch. U-Haul rents trailers, cheap. That roof load might not weigh much but will be a sail in a crosswind.

Weekend politics as reported by our local rag included one short report on a President Trump rally and two long reports on Democrat events. If you want the gory details, this is the newspaper.

The first Democrat event took place in a local park. All very proper, social distancing and everyone wearing masks. The second was the candidate for US Senate seat meeting in the backyard with a dozen or so people. Again, social distancing and masks.

In contrast, the President Trump supporters were clearly scofflaws.

Amusing, outside, sun shining, and an 85° temperature. Perfect conditions for spreading the Chinese Flu.

I did bother reading the articles in their entirety. The usual Dem talking points, bless their hearts.

One comment was, in my mind, something of a reach. President Trump is responsible for the eight deaths and others disabled by COVID among the workforce at our local packing plant. Reason? He declared those employed in the industry as essential workers.



I can’t think of a tougher way to make a living than working for JBS in one of the largest operations in the country. JBS isn’t known for being a kind and caring employer. They are the largest employer in Weld County.

In Morgan County it is Cargill, JBS’ largest competitor, who have their own COVID problems to go along with their imported Somalia workers “issues”.



The Cameron Peak fire is back and stronger. Areas around Red Feather Lake and Crystal Lake are under evacuation orders.

Wonder what the week ahead will bring? Certainly the vacant Supreme Court seat will be in the forefront. That will give the Senate a good excuse to not address any other issues until the election.

As always, YMMV.

Our local chicken packing place a few years back imported a large Somalia group. They immediately began making demands as the grill had pork cooked on it and women began quitting due to rapes happening, then hey tried to open a Mosque, so chicken place quietly and without fanfare shipped them back up north. Nary a one left in town.

They seems to insist on their way. In Denver they have taken over the taxicabs. Then they refuse to transport drunks.

Joe Biden announced today that President Trump is responsible for 200 million deaths due to the plague.

Yep, Somalis are a piece of work! And NOT good citizens by any stretch of the imagination!

Soon his numbers will exceed the population of the USA. Are you alive, or are you a ghost writer?

Some of the rudest people I've encountered.
