On the Fri before NY, I visited the pawn/music shops south of the river. I also visited the 2 out of the way music stores north of the river.
I first went to the Independence Guitar Center. Of course I went to the used area first. There was a Soldano head and 2x12 cabinet. There was a BOSS Katana head and combo. There were 2 Fender Twin amps, and a Super Twin. There was a head from a brand called db. There was an Egnater combo. There was a VOX combo, but I don't recall if it was an actual tube model, or a simulator amp. There were also 3 old Gibson combos. For guitars, there was a Hamer 335 type guitar. There were also 2 Epiphone 335s. There was a Fender Tele with a sss pu config, and one with a sh pu config. There was a LTD with a hhs pu config. There was a 7-string with slanted frets. There was a Dillion thunderbird. There was a Hohner lp with a bolt-on neck. There were also 3 EVH guitars. In the used effects case, there was an Ernie Ball overdrive pedal. The foot controller controls how much overdrive there is. In the synth room, there was a Yamaha S80. There was also 2 Kurzweil PC2 synths. There was also a KORG SV-1. I think I played on that, but not the others. I don't remember anything about it though.
I then went to the hole in the wall pawn shop. For amps, there was a Fender Champion 110. There were also combos from VOX and Randall. For guitars, there were 3 Squier strats. There was also a guitar from Jay Turser. I think it had a design unique to this brand. There was another guitar that caught my eve. It looked like a Gibson Les Paul Recording model. It was actually a Kay Effector guitar that has built-in effects.
I then went back to Alpha Pawn. There was a First Act kiddie v, and a dobro mandolin.
For guns, there were 2 Tommy guns. I forget if they had drum magazines, or just stick ones.
I then went north and went to a Cash America. There was some mini mixer I couldn't identify. There was a Peavey mic mixer. There was also a Crate pa mixer. For amps, the only one I noted was a Crate 2x8 combo. For guitars, There was an Indonesian Fender Strat. There was a Harley Benton lp. There was a Rogue Rocketeer. There was a GiO with a hh pu config, 22 frets, and a whammy bar. there was a Kramer guitar with a slanted humbucker.
I then went to the 23rd St Pawn shop. There was a Jackson guitar. There was an odd Peavey guitar with 1 humbucker, 1 knob, and 23 frets. There were strts from Squier, Spectrum, Lyon, Silvertone, and Dean. There was a second Dean strat with a hss pu config. There was also a GiO strat with a hss pu config. There was also an Epli lp special. For amps, there was a Peavey TKO bass combo, and a head that I think was for bass. There was also a Peavey Backstage 110 guitar combo.
My next stop was the music store on the Independence square. It was a pain getting a parking space. This was because it was the end of the year, and a bunch of irresponsible people were waiting until the last min were at the courthouse paying their property taxes. There was a Hammond organ, but not a good one. There were some mixers. There were a bunch of guitars, but the only one I noted was a replica of Eddie Van Halen's Frankenstrat. I don't know if it was made by Fender or his own EVH brand. For amps. I noted a Kustom and Magnatone. There was a Peavey bass anp that may have been a TKO. There was a Peavey Centurion guitar amp. There was a small Dean Markley combo. There was a VOX head and cabinet, which I might have seen before. If I remember correctly, this pair was from the 60's, and had a frame attached to them. I think The Beatles used these, and there are pics. I also have WEM listed. I'm not sure if that was an amp. I could have been notating the kb in the window. The last time I noted one, I listed it as a GEM, and it was doa. If there was one, it could be the same one.
I then went to the nearby "crazy" pawn shop. For guitars, there was a Mitchell lp with 3 knobs. I notated an lp special with P-90 pickups. I'm assuming it's an Epiphone. I also noted a Squier, which I'm assuming was a strat. There was also a Jackson guitar with a hh pu config and a whammy bar. For amps, I noted a Marshall speaker cabinet. There was also a Marshall solid state amp. I forget if it was a head or combo. I had it noted as "Valvestate", but I'm not sure if it really was from that series, or I just used that term to note it was a ss.
Next was another Cash America. I don't think there were any guitars behind the counter. There was a Rogue Rocketeer. There was a GiO double cut. There was a Maestro with 1 humbucker. I think they only have lp special style guitars. There was an OLP(Ernie Ball Music Man budget brand) EVH guitar. The EBMM model is now called Axis. There was also a Mitchell guitar with a fixed bridge. It had a regular humbucker and a single coil-sized humbucker. For amps, there was a Randall combo. This one has been there before. It's the one where one of the knobs was missing, so some retard put a ridiculously huge knob on as a replacement. I also noted some model; of Marshall. While I'm all but completely sure it was solid state, I think I wasn't sure if it was for guitar or bass. There was a Peavey pa mixer.
When I do my big trip around Halloween, that would be my last stop. Since I had time, and I hadn't gone yet, I went to the out of the way places north of the river.
The first place was the $$$$ place in Parkville. Like I've said previously, they now have a bunch of new guitars and amps. There were a bunch of old Fender amps though. There was a Morgan amp. I also noted "Statesman". Both Hughes & Kettner and Supro have amps with that name. With Supro, that was an old brand, but I think someone bought the rights to that brand, and are making new amps. I also noted a Crate amp that has "60" as part of its name. Doing a Google search, there are at least 2 models with "60" in the name.
I then drove over to the one music store that I haven't visited because it is closed on Fri. Same thing when I went there.
My last stop was Guitar Center. I first went to the used area. For amps, there was a Peavey Basic 112 from the Transtube era. There were 2 Fender Super Champ heads. There was a Fender red knob amp with "60" in the name. I think it was a Super 60. I listed a PRS head, but not sure if it was new or used. I also noted "Univox", but not sure if it's an amp or guitar. For guitars, there were superstats from Peavey and Stephens; both with a hss pu config, 22 frets, and a whammy bar. There was a GiO strat with a hss pu config. There were multiple Fender Strats. There were some lp copies. There were 3 Gretsch guitars with 3 humbuckers. There was an Ibanez with a hh pu config. There was a PRS single cut guitar. For effects, the only one I noted was a BOSS SY-1.

Hello. It is 1225am as I start this. It was another shitty week. Tue was the worst day. I was at the kitchen sink cleaning up. I slipped and fell on the floor. I then went in and took a shower. Later, I knocked my pot holders on the floor. Even later, I dropped a bunch of shit on the floor. I only needed to clean a few things though. Fri, I took 2 hrs of leave time. I went over to my parents's house. They bought a plastic storage tub to use as a litterbox. I brought the old one upstairs to dump the litter in, so the cat would know what it's for. I then brought up my dad's computer, and set it up. That wasn't the end of things. On my way home, I was in the exit lane. For some reason, the traffic was backed up in that lane. I went back in the main lanes. I exited at the next exit. I did that so I could bactrack and exit on another street to get home. There was some fucking idiot in the left turn lane that was wanting to go straight instead. There was a green arrow for the left turn lane, so there wasn't traffic in the other direction. I just drove i those lanes and got back on the interstate. Last night, after I had my snack, I missed the rest of TMZ because I fell asleep. I slept for a long time. I got done reading Dear Prudence at 330pm, which is way later than normal. I then went and cleaned my car, due to the day before(my mom didn't give me a ride). Since I just had to do the driver's seat stuff, it didn't take that long. For work, I can't recall if my calls ran way over this week. I know they did the previous week, but I don't think I mentioned that(not looking). On Thu, I went to the Walmart Market to get 2 bags of frozen peas. I get the 2lb bags. When I got there, there weren't any. I didn't even seem to see a shelf tag for them. That made me think the 2lb bag was discontinued. I drove over to the main WM. They had them, so I got 2 bags.
There was some good news. Because of the new litterbox upstairs, I am finally done with fucking litterbox duty.
Let me get to the food now.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff, starting with cereal and pb.
I had some of the chocolate chips. They were good. I had a store-brand yogurt. It was vanilla. I had some of the lemon cookies. They were good. I took them out of the freezer. I had one pkg of the Little Debbie Swiss Rolls. I took them out of the freezer. I think they still tasted odd. I finished the bag of walnuts. They were good. I still have 2 bags left, but I'm going to change it up later with some other nuts. I opened a new bag of coconut, after taking a break from it for a while. It was good. I took it off the shelf.
I also had a beverage. It was a bottle of Vess soda. It was Pineapple. It didn't seem to have a strong taste, and the carbonation seemed low. I'll maybe do a do-over.
I had some of the cocktail sausages.
My "meal" was homemade popcorn. I only put canola oil on it. It didn't taste as good as it usually does for some reason.
Sun: I finished the cocktail sausages.
I just had 2 things for my meal. My snack item was a box of Dollar Tree Ritz-copy crackers. They were good. My main item was 2 cans of Progresso soup. It was Italian Sausage & Potato. It was good.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: I opened a new pkg of cocktail sausages.
My first snack was my last bag of ALDI fried onions. They were good. My next snack was a can of Vigo squid. It was good. I took it off the shelf. There was a negative. I spilled some of the oil in the can. My last snack was a bag of chicharones from DT. These are a flour alternative to pork rinds. They were Chile & Lime flavor. The flavor should be Too Fucking Salty. That's my review of them. I think I had to force myself to finish the bag. I think there was heat, but the saltiness overrode everything. I only tasted lime on one of them.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of frozen broccoli. I cooked it using the healthy method. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Northern Catch sardines in oil. They were good. I took them off the shelf.
On Tue, I worked from home instead of going into the office. That means I didn't go anywhere after. That will be important in a sec.
Wed: Since I didn't go out Tue, I didn't go to QT and see if there was a new $0.99 promo at QuikTrip. I called one and asked if there was a promo. They still had the Buffalo Chicken Bites with Cheese. After I cleaned the litterbox, I stopped at QT and got 3 of them. I ate them soon after I got home. They were good.
Later, I had the rice I saved from the night before to have on Wed, as I have been doing the past few months. It was good plain and with my 3 items, no combos. I took it out of the fridge.
Thu: I had some of the cocktail sausages.
My snack was 5 of the BCB from QT. I heated them up in the microwave before I ate. They were good.
I got my meal at Arby's. I used coupons. I went to 2 locations to get my stuff.
At the first location, I got a Gyro. It was the Greek variety. While I was waiting for it, the guy who took my order picked some stuff off the floor. When I got home, I cleaned the wrapper off. This why I don't get everything at one location. When it was time to eat, I warmed it up in the microwave. It was good.
At the second location, I got 4 French Dip & Swiss sandwiches. I warmed them up in the microwave before I ate. They were good. I dunked the first 2, and there was enough beef juice to soak the other 2.
I have 2 things to mention about my meal. I think I started eating around 330am. Due to soaking the 2 sandwiches, I think I got done after 5am. Because I got 5 of the BCB, I only got 1 Gyro(I have I more coupon). Even so, I was stuffed when I was done.
On Fri, I had planned on stopping at QT to get some BCB to eat when I got to my parent's house. Because I was still feeling full, I didn't do so.
Fri: I had some of the cocktail sausages. I actually had them Sat afternoon.
After I got done at my parents's house, and went 2 other places, I stopped at Jimmy John's. I got the wrap version of the Kickin' Cajun Chicken Sandwich. I had it around 6pm, as I was shaving. It was ok. It didn't seem to have a strong flavor. I think my nose was a bit stuffed. I'm done with do-overs on this. When I was there, there was a poster showing they brought something else back, and have a wrap vwesion. Stay tuned in the coming weeks to see what this is.
For my regular snacks, I decided to change up the schedule.
My first snack was a bag of DT croutons. They were the Garlic variety. They were good. I had them at 1235 during one station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news.
My second snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. It was good. I had it during another stations rebroadcast od the 10pm news.
My third snack was an 8oz wheel of brie I bought at ALDI. It was ok. It didn't seem to have a strong flavor. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate. I had it at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ.
My last snack was a ball of Bel Gioioso fresh mozzarella. I took it out of the fridge a few hrs before I ate. It was really good. I had ir after 11pm during SNL.
Sat: I had sweet stuff, starting with cereal and pb.
I had some of the chocolate chips. They were good. I had some coconut. It was good. I had a store-brand yogurt. It was Black Cherry. It was good. I had some of the lemon cookies. They were good. I took them out of the freezer. I had a pkg of Strawberry Swiss Rolls. They were ok. I think the problem is they don't have a strong taste. I took them out of the freezer. i also opened a new bag of nuts. This time, it was pistachios from ALDI. They were good. It is a 16oz bag, and I may have eaten over half. They are in the shells, so I ate less than it seems.
I had some cocktail sausages.
My "meal" was ~half a 15oz bag of store-brand pretzels. They were the Waffle style. While they were good, they were very salty. It seems they used to be the least salty, and that's why I got them. Maybe being more sensitive to salt is another symptom of getting older. I turned 50 four weeks ago as I told you.
That's it for the food. I know what I'm having for Sun. I took the meat item out of the freezer yesterday, and put it in the fridge.
It is 1118pm Sun as I post this. SNL was new(Kristen Wiig/Raye). The episode was good. There was glitching during a few sketches and Weekend Update, so I'll have to watch those again. The only character she brought back this time was Aunt Linda, who did movie reviews on WU. Will Forte did a cameo appearance, so I'm surprised they didn't do a Gilley sketch, even though I didn't like those. I forget if I mentioned when she previously hosted that I was disappointed when Jason Sudeikis was there that they didn't do a 2 A-holes sketch. As for the musical guest, I've never heard of her. She just seemed like a glorified lounge singer. She has a mole near her mouth. Ladies, those are NOT attractive. Go get them removed. Speaking of moles, Cindy Crawford's daughter, Kaya Gerber(no moles), appeared in the prerecorded Pilates segment. Again, Sarah Sherman looked good in a wig in that segment. Going back to Raye, her bassist looked cute. It was KW's 5th time hosting, so she got the special smoking jacket. I didn't realize she hosted that many times already. I had to go to Wikipedia to confirm that. For some reason, I only remember her hosting 1 other time. After SNL, I sat in my chair a while just watching tv. I then got up to do some stuff. I only remember getting some water to drink. I then sat back down to type. One of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour films was on, so I didn't take my nap at 1. I waited until 2. I got up for 3 for the weekend edition of TMZ. I felt groggy, and fell asleep. I woke up close to 4. I took my pills. I then turned on Washington Week. I fell asleep again. I woke up at 430. I got up and got my food. I just ate and didn't type. I forget when I finished. I know I dozed off at least once, when I woke up after 7am. Since Meet The Press isn't on this week, I wasn't in a hurry to get in bed. I got up and put stuff away. I was delayed due to watching my neighbor's cat, and what I think is a neighborhood stray outside. I did go into bed after 8. I set my alarm to get up for 830 for This week. Since I usually only watch it after 10, I hit the snooze bar. After the alarm went off again, I turned it off. I then turned it back on, and set it for 945. When it went off, I did get up. I think I did some typing while watching TW, where they were talking about Israel attacking an aid group. At the commercial, I did some reading. I did continue for a while, as I didn't care about watching the next segment. I went back to typing when the Roundtable segment came on. I read during the commercials then, and between TW and WW. I typed during WW. I read between WW and the local show, and resumed typing when the local show came back on. After that was over, I did my regular reading. When that was done, I went to TJRWresting to read the Smackdown recap, and maybe start reading for night 1 of WrestleMania 40. Neither are there. The site owner(John Canton) is actually there, so hasn't had a chance to do any recaps. I forget what else I did. After 230pm, I got up and emptied my pee bottles, and cleaned some other stuff. After 3, I sat back down. I checked my email, then went to Nextdoor. I did a few things, then went to take a nap at 5. I got up for 7 for FOX's Animation Domination. There was some glitching during The Simpsons and Krapopolis. There was no glitching during The Great North and Grimsburg. After those were over, I called my mom. I forget when I got done. I checked TJRWresting, and still nothing, I then looked on Google, and finally found tonight's results. I then got up and got my pretzels and cocktail sausages. I think I didn't get done until after 10. I then resumed typing. At 11, I put on Face The Nation while typing.
Last week, I forgot to mention the death of former Senator Joe Lieberman. He was the vp candidate with Al Gore in 2000.
The only death I want to acknowledge this week was Joe Flaherty. He was on SCTV. I kind of watched it when NBC was showing the old episodes many yrs ago. I only remember him for doing the character Count Floyd. I guess I remember his Guy Caballero character, but I had to see that name to remember that.
Nothing really major to report n politics this week. Representative Lauren Bobert had to have surgery to remove a blood clot in her leg. She was diagnosed with something called May-Thurner. An interesting symptom of M-T is hemorrhoids. Maybe that's why LB is a bitch.
In international news, the Israeli military accidentally attacked some vehicles from a food aid charity. Several members were killed. While Israel fucked up, the ultimate blame lies with Hamas. When they conducted the Oct attack, there's no way they didn't know that Israel was going to go all-out in response.
Back in the US, there was an earthquake in NJ, which was also felt in NYC and Philadelphia. I haven't heard of any major damage, or injuries/deaths. In MO, we have the New Madrid Fault. In 1811, it caused one of the strongest earthquakes in the US. I don't think there have been any major ones after that. People are saying it is due. It is located in the opposite corner from KC. While St Louis(where my bro lives) is closer, and will have lots of damage, Memphis TN is much closer, and will be in major trouble.
Tomorrow is my bro's 48th birthday, but Mon is newsworthy due to there being an eclipse. The news is making such a huge fucking deal about it. So much so that I can't wait until it's over. CBS and ABC are going to be covering it. I just looked at zap2it, and NBC will also. We had one here in 2017. Someone actually explained why tomorrow's is a big deal, but I don't remember what they said.
Like I said above, WrestleMania was last night and tonight. I won't give any spoilers. I will say I pretty much predicted the results, even the one surprise ending.
I wanted to end with SNL. This week, some dumb young girl was complaining there are no hot women on SNL. First off, Ms. owl glasses is not hot herself. She needs a new prescription as there are, and were hot women. First, last night's host(and imo best ever cast member) Kristen Wiig. I've mentioned Chloe Fineman numerous times. Local KC girl Heidi Garder is hot, as long as she's not sucking in her cheeks. And Sarah Sherman would be hot with better hair. For past members, Cecily Strong was when she didn't put on weight(she seemed to fluctuate). Let me quickly note the others: Jan Hooks(rip), Beth Cahill, Abby Elliot, Nasim Pedrad, and Jenny Slate. While not hot, Maya Rudolph, Amy Poehler, and Tina Fey were very attractive on there.
I guess that's it, so I'll go now.

On Feb 16 and 17, I visited some places. On the 16th, I had a stomach test. Like I said then, I was stuck afterward for a long time at the license bureau getting my license renewed, and I got a speeding ticket. I was running so far behind, I just visited 2 thrift stores in my former town, and a new place. On the 17th, I got my semi-annual oil change, and go-over. After, I went to the thrift stores in Blue Springs, Independence, and the 2 thrift stores I didn't visit the previous day. I guess I'll just skip places where I found nothing. But that is the BS Salvation Army, and both Goodwill locations. I didn't go to the "piss break" thrift store, or the new one on Noland Rd.
On Fri, my first stop was a new place. It was a gun store in the same shopping center as the license bureau. There was a HK MP-5. They have a civilian version now. There was at least one huge .44 revolver. Like the one Clint Eastwood has in the Dirty Harry movies. It might have been even larger. There were some .22 revolvers with long barrels.
I then went to the Hillcrest thrift store. There was a Yamaha PSS-30. There was a Fisher-Price keyboard. There was also a baby kb where the keys struck glockenspiel bars.
That was all for Fri. I visited the rest of the places on Sat.
The first place was Mission Thrift right near the dealership. There was a saxophone. There were 2 trumpets. There were trumpet mutes. There was a kiddie tambourine and ukelele. There was also a recorder made out of wood.
Due to stuff opening at different times, I didn't visit the rest of the BS places in my normal order.
I then went to Red Racks. There was a Casio LK-135, and Casio Privia. There was a piano. There was a small set of bongos. There were 2 African drums that were small. There was a snare. For other stuff, there was a reel-to-reel tape recorder. There was also a compound bow.
The next stop to mention was the BS pawn shop. They remodeled, so stuff was in different places. There was a Fender J Bass. For guitars, There was an LTD George Lynch model. It had 1 humbucker and tiger stripe paint job. There was a Gibson LP Studio. There was a Hagstrom strat. There was a Hofner Shorty Violin Guitar. There was an Ibanez with a hh pu config, 24 frets, and a whammy bar. For amps, there were quite a few Peavey items: a Standard head, Vypr combo, 4x12 speaker cabinet, and 2 1x12 pa speaker cabinets. There was an Orange cabinet. There was a Behringer combo. There was also a Marshall amp that I noted as "100fx". That is not an actual model. I either meant 100DFX(combo) or 100HDFX(head). For other instruments, there was a trombone and flute. For guns, the only one I noted was a .357 magnum.
Next up is Thrift World. The only thing there was an Epiphone acoustic guitar.
I then went to the Salvation Army thrift store. There were 3 electric guitars. There was one of those ugly lp sl. There was a Squier Showmaster with a hss pu config, 22 frets, and a whammy bar. There was a pink Dean superstrat with a hh pu config, 22 frets, and a whammy bar. There was also a Drive CD 100 beginner amp.
The last place in Independence was Red Racks. There was a Yamaha acoustic guitar. There was also a Radio Shack wireless microphone.
Before I visited the 2 thrift stores in my former town that I didn't the day before, I think I visited the music store. I didn't notate it. I think that's because there was nothing really new there.
I then went to Savers in the same shopping center. There was a Casio CTK-720. There was also a Casio WK-200. there was also a baby piano.
The last stop was the thrift store where I know the manager. There was a baby acoustic guitar.

Hello. It is 1242am as I start this. I guess this week was better than the previous ones. There was some stuff. On Fri, I was at a grocery store. I had bought some 8oz blocks of cheese, and hotdogs. I was carrying them in a can box bottom. When I was like 20 ft from my car, one of the blocks of cheese fell on the ground. I picked it up. I got to my car, and put the other stuff inside. I put the ground block in the trunk. I cleaned it off when I got home. I was 20ft away from having a good day. There was a meal related issue on Thu, but I'll get to that at an appropriate time. There was something else Thu. We had an unscheduled meeting at work. Our mgr announced that she has been reassigned to another group. that means we will be getting another mgr. Also, Nextdoor has been acting up the past few days.
Also today, I had a case of the burps. I had 3 extended toilet sessions.
There is some good news. Due to my work on Fri, I finally didn't have litterbox duty. I'm trying to remember if there was some other good news.
Let me get to the food now.
Sun: I finished the cocktail sausages.
The main part of my meal was 5 Bar-S sausages. I forget what kind they were. They were good plain and with regular mustard and/or spicy brown mustard. My main side was a box of Save A Lot rice a roni. It was the Beef flavor. It was ok. My other side was a can of discount brand Seasoned Black Beans. They were good.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: When I was at work, I had one of the A1 Asian snacks. It was good.
I opened a new pkg of cocktail sausages.
My snack was 4 of the QuikTrip Buffalo Chicken Cheese Bites with Cheese. They were good. I warmed them up in the microwave. They are still $0.99 each.
My meal was fried rice and veggies using ~8oz of frozen peas. I cooked it using the healthy method. It was good plain and with my 3 items.
My meat item was a can of Northern Catch sardines in mustard. They were good. I took them off the shelf.
Wed: I had the rice I set aside for Wed. It was good plain and with my 3 items, no combos. I took it out of the fridge.
Thu: I had some of the cocktail sausages.
My snack was 4 of the QT BCB. I heated them up in the microwave before I ate. They were good.
I got most of my meal at Little Caesars. I got a Slices-N-Stix pizza. Instead of my usual Italian Cheese Bread, I got a new item called Crazy Puffs. Look them up yourself. When I placed my order, for the CP, the worker asked if I wanted peperoni or cheese. I chose the peperoni ones. After I paid for my items and got them in the car, I opened the box to look at the CP. They were tiny. If I had been thinking, I should've opened the box inside. I could've seen they were small. I then could've seen if they had some cheese ones ready, and bought those also.
Instead, since I went to WM for some other stuff, I went to the hot case and got some mozzarella bites(smaller version of sticks).
When it was time for me to eat, I heated the pizza up for 15 min at 400F. When 5 min elapsed, I added the CB and mb.
As for the taste, the pizza was good, but it cooled off quickly. I ate the stick half first. It came with a container of marinara sauce. I used it with the stick half, and the other 2 items. The CP were ok. They didn't seem to have much taste. The mb weren't good. They were hard, and didn't get warm. I should've heated them in the pan with some canola oil. When I've done that previously, they came out good.
When I was done, I was very full. That was prob due to having the BCB earlier.
On Fri after work, I did something different than I normally do. When I do go out, I go to Parkville and/or an area of KC north of there. This time, I went to Raytown. This was because of the grocery store I mentioned at the top. I think I mentioned before that that grocery chain has stores owned by 3 or 4 different groups. One of the groups is having specials the past few weeks at their stores. This week, the cheese and hotdogs were part of that. The reason I picked that store is because there is a store from the other main grocery chain somewhat close(I got stuff there too), as well as has locations of the 2 places I got snacks at.
Fri: I had some of the cocktail sausages.
My first snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I had a bit plain, but most with canola oil. It was good. I had it at 1235am during the rebroadcast of one station's 10pm news.
I got my next snack at Jimmy John's. Last week, I mentioned when I was at one, I saw a poster that the Caprese Salami Pesto sandwich was back. You can now get it as a sandwich or wrap. Since I've previously had the sandwich, I decided to get the wrap version. It was good. Usually, I would have my 2nd snack at 137am during another station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news. Because the station is a CBS affiliate, they had a recap of The Masters after 10pm. That means everything after was pushed back 20 min. I waited until the news came on to have the wrap.
My third snack was 5 of the BCB from QT. They were good. I heated them up in the microwave before I ate them. I had them at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ. When I was getting these at QT, I saw orange on the outside of them. That was making me concerned that there was cheddar cheese inside them. When I was eating them, I didn't see any. I'm think the orange had something to do with the coating on them.
My last snack was a bag of dollar Tree croutons. They were the Seasoned variety. They were good. I had a few plain, but most with canola oil. When I was eating the crumbs and oil left in the pot, it was rather salty. I had this after SNL.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff, starting with cereal and pb.
I had some of the chocolate chips. They were good. I had some coconut. They were good. I had a pkg of Little Debbie Strawberry Swiss Rolls. They were ok. I had a store-brand yogurt. It was Strawberry Banana. It was good. I had a pudding cup. It was good. They were on sale at ALDI, so I was able to get a few pkgs. I had the last of the pistachios. They were good.
I had some cocktail sausages.
My "meal" was a bag of Fieras takis. They were the Habanero & Lime flavor. I did not taste any habanero or lime. They had a slight taste of Fritos. There was a bit of heat, but seemed to be in the background.
That's it for the food. My meal will be an experiment. It's something I've had before many times, but I'm making it myself this time.
It is 1214am Mon as I post this. SNL was new(Ryan Gosling/Chris Stapleton). I have to watch the episode again, as there was glitching throughout all of it. Caitlin Clark made a guest appearance during Weekend Update. The opening sketch was the recurring alien abduction one. Kate Mckinnon appeared as the lady who always has a bad experience. Again, Sarah Sherman looked good in a wig(during the bar sketch). Chloe Fineman seemed to be in quite a few sketches. Speaking of Chloe, she was also in a T-Mobile commercial. Heidi Gardner has been in a few commercials for Homes.com. Also, Kristen Wiig reprised her Target Lady character for a Target commercial. After SNL, I got up and had my croutons. I then started typing. I stopped at 1 to take a nap. I set my alarm for 2 for Ice Road Truckers. When my alarm went off, I hit the snooze bar 2 times. I got up around 215. I was feeling drowsy, so I fell asleep. I forget how the chain events followed, except that I missed the TMZ weekend edition. I think I woke up right before 4 and took my pills. I think I finally woke up before 5am, but waited until after 5 to get up and have my food. I got done before 6. I then resumed typing. Around 715, I got up to put stuff away. I also took a large dump. After I was done with that, I sat down and did some stuff for a few min. Right before 8, I went in to take a nap. I got up for 9 for Meet The Press. I was still drowsy, so fell asleep. I think I finally woke up right before 1030. I watched Washington Week, but I was a bit drowsy at the start. My fog went away when I saw Lisa Desjardins was one of the guests. I don't think I did any typing during WW or the local show. After that was over, I watched a few min of Pawn Stars. I then did my reading. Some time after noon, I got ass pressure. I went in and took a dump. I spent a long time because I went on my bed and kind of laid on it to fart. After I cleaned up, I sat back down. I finished my reading. I then put MTP on the computer to listen to while typing. After MTP, I stopped typing to look at my email and Nextdoor. I got done a bit before 5. I had more ass pressure, so I went back in to poop. I shot out a ton of poo water. I tried laying on my bed, but couldn't fart. It was just poo water. I think I got done a bit after 6. I sat down and restarted my computer. I went in to take a nap after 630pm. I got up for 730 for Animation Domination(The Simpsons was a repeat, so I didn't have to get up at 7). At 9, I called my mom. After I finished, I read the Smackdown recap on TJRWrestling(btw, they never did one for 4/5). I then went in and did some more poo water. This time, when I laid on the bed, I was able to fart. I sat back down after 1030. I had a few of the cocktail sausages, then the Fieras. After that, I resumed typing. After the news, I put on Face The Nation while I typed.
The only famous death was OJ Simpson. Good. If he didn't kill the 2 people, it was his son, and he was just covering up. If that was the case, I actually do feel a bit of sympathy for the stuff after the murders. Not a lot though, because he was a domestic violence perpetrator.
In current events, Iran tried to attack Israel. They were denied big time. I can't think of anything else about that right now.
On Mon, jury selection starts for Trump's Stormy Daniels trial. I hope he is found guilty and goes to prison. Same with his other future trials.
I think that's all for me. I should be back next week.

Hello. It is 1230am as I start this. I think the week was ok, except for Thu. I just went out to get my meal. I knew the interstate had some construction, but I decided to use that part. When I got there, it took over 30 min to get past that. They had one lane closed, but what made things worse was a car had broken down, blocking one of the remaining 2 lanes. The fucking retard driver should've got the car over into the closed lane. I then had something else happen when I was getting my food, which I'll mention in a bit. When I was finally going to sit down, I saw a fruit fly on the ceiling above the sink. I first had to kill that, and do some related cleaning.
I almost forgot something else. I had planned on picking up one of my prescriptions on Thu when I was out. I called the WM pharmacy I intended to use. When the woman looked it up, she said it was filled at another location. That location was where I got it last time. Apparently, there was some kind of auto-fill on that prescription. I called that location, and they said it was filled. Since I was in that area on Fri, I picked it up there.
There was some good news. When I looked at my Yahoo! email, there was an email from Nextdoor saying the issue was fixed. When I got on later, it indeed was.
I can't recall anything else this week. I may have to update it later.
It is time for the food.
Sun: I finished the cocktail sausages.
My meal was an experiment. I wanted to make my own version of the Arby's French Dip & Swiss sandwiches. I once asked how much roast beef the put on the sandwiches, and the worker said 4oz. The one grocery chain had rb on sale, so I picked up 24 oz. I got a bag of 6 sub rolls from Walmart. A while back, I bought 2 packages of beef juice powder from WM. For the cheese, I used a package of provolone from ALDI. When I was at the store where I dropped the block of cheese, they had Swiss cheese. Instead of getting a block of that, I stuck with the provolone because it was pre-sliced. When it was time to eat, I sliced the rolls open. I put the rb on the rolls. I then put 2 slices of cheese on top. I then put the top half of the rolls back on. I then cut each sandwich diagonally. For 2 of the sandwiches, I put them on the cookie sheet and opened them back up. I put them in the oven for either 5 or 10 min(I don't remember) at 400F. While I was doing all this. I cooked the beef juice.
As for the meal, it was good. I like the toasted ones, but can't remember if they were better than the regular ones. For the juice, I used my ladle and would fill up my tiny pot so I could use it with the sandwiches. I was able to soak all of them. When I was done with the sandwiches, there was only a little left. I just drank it.
For the juice, each package made 3 cups, so there was 6 cups. I put some water in one of the old Arby's cups, and they only use ½ cup.
After I was done, I was stuffed.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Tue: When I was at work, I had one of the A1 Asian snacks. It was good.
I opened a new pkg of cocktail sausages.
My snack was some of the Quiktrip Buffalo Chicken Bites with Cheese. I didn't notate that, so I don't know how many I had, but it might have been 4. I heated them up in the microwave. They were good.
My meal was hotdogs. It was a pkg of Bar-S Chicken ones. I cooked them in the microwave. I had 4 on buns, and 4 naked. I used regular mustard, horseradish mustard, onions, and cabbage. I heated the cabbage and onion in the small casserole dish a bit, then put the hd on top, and cooked all of it. The order I had the hd on buns was: horseradish m, cabbage mustard, onion mustard, onion, cabbage mustard I think I finished the horseradish mustard on the first bun, so didn't have any for the naked ones. I used regular mustard on all bites of those. I put some onion and cabbage on some bites until those were gone. All the hd were good.
My snack item was a bag of Clancy's kettle chips. They were the Parmesan Garlic variety. They were good.
Wed: Last week, mushrooms at ALDI were on sale for $0.99. When I got there, they were marked down more to $0.59. I bought 2 pkgs(8oz each). I had these at the time I would have dinner if I did so on Wed. I sliced them up. I had a few pieces raw, which were good. I cooked the rest in my pan with canola oil. They were good.
Thu: I had some cocktail sausages.
My snack was 5 of the QT BCB. I heated them up in the microwave. They were good.
I got my meal at Burger King. They have a 2/$5 deal on the Whopper Jr. There are 6 different varieties. I ordered 1 of each.
There were 2 issues. First when I was at BK, the bag fell on the floor. The worker threw it in the trash, but didn't was her hands after. Later, she put my burgers in another bag. When I got home, I had to wash the wrappers. The second issue was that I thought one of the WJ had mushrooms. I didn't see one. On Fri, I went to another BK because I was going to get 2 of those. When I saw the menu, I saw they have a Bacon Swiss, which I mistaken for a mushroom one. Even so, I think they fucked up and put the normal cheese on it. I'm thinking the taste wasn't too different between the 2 cheeses.
I warmed them up in the microwave. They were all good. I wasn't stuffed after I was done eating.
Fri: I had some cocktail sausages.
I decided to have an additional snack. It was a bag of ALDI Deutsche Kuche Potato Sticks. They were the Herbs Of The Alps Style. They were good. I had these between 7 and 9pm during Smackdown.
My next snack was ~half an 8oz bag of Brim's Movie Theater Butter Popcorn. I had a few pieces plain, but put canola oil on most it. It was good. I had it at 1237am during one station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news.
My next snack was a Gyro from Arby's. I had a coupon. I had the Greek variety. I heated it up in the microwave. It was good. I had it at 137am during another station's rebroadcast of the 10pm news.
My next snack was 5 of the BCB from QT. I heated them up in the microwave. They were good. I had them at 330am during the rebroadcast of TMZ.
My last snack was a bag of Dollar Tree croutons. I had a few plain, but most with canola oil. They were good. I had these close to midnight.
Sat: I had my sweet stuff, starting with cereal and pb. I finished the jar og pb. It was Peter Pan Honey Roast Creamy. It was good.
I had some of the coconut. It was good. I had some of the chocolate chips. They were good. I had a pudding cup. It was good. I had the last of the Little Debbie Strawberry Swiss Rolls. It was ok. I'm not getting those again. I had the last yogurt. It was a store-brand Blueberry. It was good. I opened up a new bag of walnuts. They were good.I also opened up a new pkg of cookies. They are from the Cravn' Flavor brand, which is exclusive to one of the local chains. They are chocolate chip. i don't know if they are supposed to be a clone of Chips Ahoy! cookies. I took them off the shelf. They were good.
I had some cocktail sausages.
My "meal" was a 10oz bag of oyster crackers from ALDI. They were good. When I was there on Mon, I happened to look down, and saw they were marked down to something like $0.48. I bought 3 or 4 bags.
That's it for the food. I know what I'm having for my Sun meal.
My meal schedule will be different this week. I have my semi-annual dr appt on Thu(plus another one). I will also be doing something else I do this time of year(dun dun dun). I will be having some special meals.
It is 1131pm Sun as I post this. SNL was a repeat(Shane Gillis/21 Savage). I only had to watch the church sketch and Weekend Update again due to glitching the first time, and the online gambling commercial, because I zoned out during it. I was done with my mom on the phone after SNL started, but before the opening credits. I then did my credit card an water bills, stopping during the church sketch and "commercial". I got done before WU came on. After WU, I got up to get my croutons, and get stuff ready for later. When I was in the kitchen, I heard some kind of rumbling sound. I was thinking there might be an earthquake. The sound was kind of like someone "drumming" their fists on my front door. I saw on Nextdoor about dumbass teenagers pounding on people's doors, but it wasn't happening around here. I didn't see anybody outside, or any cars. I then finished up what I was doing, and sat back down. I had my croutons. I then started typing. At 1am, I got up to go into bed and take my nap. Again, when I was in my kitchen, I heard a noise. This time, it sounded like an animal screeching. I looked out the window and saw a raccoon coming up the driveway. It then was going down my sidewalk. When I thought it was near my front door, I pounded on it. I then looked out the window. I saw a raccoon in the ditch along the street. I don't know if it was the one I saw, or a different one. I then saw it go to my neighbor's driveway. I then went into bed. I set my alarm to get up for 2 for Ice Road Truckers. When my alarm went off, I hit the snooze bar. I did so again. I got up at 215. I sat down and resumed typing while IRT was on. At 3, I turned on the TMZ weekend edition while typing. I took my pills at 330 because I originally planned to eat at 4. A bit later, I decided to wait until 430 to eat. I continued typing until then. I got up and got my food. I didn't do any typing while eating. I think I ate for less than an hr. I then went to type. I forget how much I actually did before I eventually dozed off. I forget how things transpired after. I know that some time after 7am, I got up and put stuff away. I then looked at some other stuff online. I then went to take my nap at 8. I got up for 9 for Meet The Press. I was typing during it, since I didn't fall asleep. I then did the same for This Week, Washington Week, and the local show. Usually, I would do reading during commercial breaks and between shows. I didn't this time, because I'm having ass pressure, which makes it impossible to concentrate on reading. After the local show was over, I went outside to go in the backyard and go in the basement. I was concerned that the noise was possibly the one wall in the basement collapsing. It didn't. Before I left the basement, I had to knock down a small wasp's nest and kill the wasp. I then went inside and took a dump. I had to walk back in a few times to squirt out some more. I finally sat down close to 1230. I then did my reading. I think I got done around 2. I was getting more ass pressure at this time. I then went in and did a lot more soft poo. I then sat down and looked at my email, then Nextdoor. I got done after 430. I then did some other stuff, then went to take a nap around 5. I got up at 7 for Animation Domination. After that, I called my mom. I was done after 940. I was then reading an article and comments on Yahoo! News. I then got up and got the oyster crackers. I ate those. It took longer because I was using chopsticks, instead of shoveling handfuls in my mouth. I then read some more on YN. I then resumed typing while listening to Face The Nation.
There were 2 famous deaths this week. Whitey Herzog was most famous for being the manager of the St Lois Cardinals. Before that, he was the mgr of the KC Royals. Dickey Betts also died. He was a founding member of The Allman Brothers Band. He played guitar, and did some lead vocals.
Last week, I didn't feel like saying more about OJ Simpson. The only thing I can remember wanting to say is that he was acquitted in revenge for the Rodney King trial.
It sounds like the Trump trial will actually start on Mon. I don't need to repeat what I said last week. Also, a bill funding aid to Ukraine/Israel/Taiwan passed. For some reason. Marjorie Taylor Green wants to remove the Speaker of the House. She is some idiot who would rather grandstand than actually get shit done. They also added the TikTok shit to that bill. I also addressed that in a previous post.
There is prob other stuff I wanted to discuss, but can't remember. I'll go now. See you next week.

Hello. It is 1215am as I start this. I guess it was an ok week. On Thu, I had 2 dr appointments. First was with a gastroenterologist. Nothing really to say there. I then had my 6 month checkup with my regular dr. Because I'm 50, she wants me to get other stuff checked out. I can't recall if anything happened during work. On Fri, I went out and did something I normally do this time of year(dun dun dun). When I was at one location, a mowing service was there and started cutting the grass. The guy got grass all over the driver's side of my car, which pissed me off. I also have something related to food, which I'll mention later. After I got home, I wanted to watch Smackdown at 7pm. Instead, there was weather shit on due to a tornado warning. It was out in the boonies, so there's not many people there. They got done at 730, so I was able to watch the rest. The ABC affiliate had they NFL draft on. What they did was the picture-in-picture thing where most of the screen was weather shit, but the draft was in the corner. The FOX affiliate could've done that. There were 2 other things they could've done. One was start the show from the beginning after the tornado shit. They usually have news for 2 hrs, but I don't think the anchors will die if they get less screentime. The other would be to put the show on one of the subchannels. the ABC affiliate did that when the Chiefs were on Monday Night Football, and put the regular programming on a subchannel. A bit later, I looked at TJRWrestling, and found out what I missed. Cody Rhoads did a promo during the segment where he and AJ Styles signed a contract for the PPV match. The most important part of the show was the draft. I missed the first round, but read the results. The only other thing was the beginning of the Angel/Humberto vs Rey Mysterio/Dragon Lee match. I got to see the rest after the commercial break. The match itself wasn't important, but the stuff after was. I wasn't as pissed after I read the info.
There was some good news. My stats at the dr were good. I'm down to 250 lbs now. Also, my blood pressure is low. When I was out on Fri(dun dun dun), I was at another location. I saw something on the floor. It was some kind of folded up paper. When I looked closer, it was a $5 bill. I picked it up and took it with me.
With that out of the way, let me get to the food.
Sun: I finished the cocktail sausages.
I had 3 things for my meal. The meat item was a box of ALDI Mussels In Tomato Garlic Sauce. They were good. I did something you're not supposed to do. After you cook mussels, if they don't open, they are bad, and you're supposed to toss them. There were 2 of those. I opened and ate them because I don't like wasting food. They didn't seem bad, and I'm still here, so I guess everything is ok. My main side was a Knorr Pasta Sides. It was Butter & Herb. It was ok. To me, it had an odd flavor. It wasn't bad. It was different to me, so I didn't think it was good. My other side was a can of Walmart white hominy. It was good.
Mon: I didn't have anything.
Due to the dr appt, I changed my eating schedule.
Tue: I decided to have an early snack. It was a bag of the TGi Fridays Crinkle Fries. They were the Chili Cheese flavor. They were good. I had these during the Sylvester Stallone/Arnold Schwarzenegger TMZ documentary.
I had another snack at the regular time during TMZ. It was 5 of the QuikTrip Buffalo Chicken Bites with Cheese. They were good.
For my meal, the main part of my meal was a container of seafood salad from the grocery store at the edge of the 'hood. It was ok. I didn't seem as good as it usually does. My snack item was a box of chicken crackers from Dollar Tree. It was a different brand than the Lil Dutch brand they usually stock. While there weren't that good, they were better than the LD ones. I also had a jar of Specially Selected Heb Cheese Stuffed Peppers. They were ok. I thought they would taste better, as I haven't had them for a long time.
Wed: When I was cooking my meal, I had a snack. It was a bag of Andy Capp Hot Fries. They were good.
My meal was a Mama Cozzi's Rising Crust Pepperoni Pizza. It was good.
Thu: After both dr appts, I went over to see my parents. After taking a nap, I went out and did some stuff, including getting some food to eat when I got back there. I got 2 things from the hot case of a grocery store. I heated both up in the microwave. One thing was 2 salisbury steaks. They were good. Instead of being in beef gravy, they were cooked with onions and peppers. The other thing was a bunch of onion rings. They were good.
After I left there for the day, I went to different places to get stuff to eat after I got home. I was planning to eat while I shaved. I forget if I got home after 530 or 6. Because it took so long taking care of stuff, I didn't have time to start shaving before 7pm. Instead, I ate at 7 while watching Young Sheldon. I shaved after.
One thing was 2 reubens from Arby's using coupons. They were good. I also had 4 of the QT BCB. They were good.
Fri: When I was out(dun dun dun), I decided to have a driving snack. It was 3 of the QT BCB. They were good. I have a story with these. Part of my route took me past where I live, so I stopped at my house to get a cold bottle of water, take my pills, and take a piss. Besides getting the BCB, I also needed some gas in my car. I decided to stop at the QT near my house. When I went inside, there were only 2 there. I left. I was thinking of going back the way I came to another QT. Since I was going to another location first, I decided not to, as I remembered there was a QT right near the location after the next one. Also, I figured it would slow me down, because I would have to still get back on the interstate. Actually, it would've been faster. When I got on the interstate, I was planning on exiting to another. The right lane was way backed up. I got in the left lane, and saw the exit was backed up. I used the exit after that one. I took a street to a main street, and got on the interstate from there, where there was no backup. If I had gone to that other QT, I could've went down the street to that other main street. I forgot about that, as I don't use that area of the street that much. I eventually got to the QT. Like I said, I needed to get gas too. There was a tanker filling up the tanks. I've heard not to get gas when this is done, because filling up the tanks stirs up sediment/gunk from the bottom of the tank, and it can get in your car. I decided to get the BCB, but not gas. I did get gas at the QT near where I got my dinner.
I got my meal at the hot/cold case at the store where I usually get stuff. I was going to get fish, but they ran out earlier. Fortunately, they had beef stew this time. I got a big container of that. When it was time to eat, I warmed it up in the microwave. It was good. The next two items just came out of the fridge. I got a big container of egg salad. It was ok. It didn't really have much taste. I also got a small container of stuffed tortellini salad. It was good.
Sat: The main part of my meal was 2.5 lbs of tilapia. To prepare it, I did a do-over of how I had it before. After cutting the fish up, I would put a few pieces in an old microwave entree container that had buttermilk in it. I would get the pieces coated. I would then put a piece in another container with Walmart Italian breadcrumbs to get it coated. I would then put the piece on my plate. While I was doing that, I heated up my oil pot. To test that the oil was hot enough, I put a couple of thin pieces of fish in the oil. They cooked, and tasted good when I had them. I put some of the prepared pieces in the fryer basket, then put it in the oil. I kept the basket in the oil for a few min. I didn't have a set time. As that batch was cooking, I prepared some more, adding b'milk and b'crumbs to their respective containers as needed.
After the fish was done, there was b'milk and b'crumbs left in the containers. Since I didn't have any onions ready, I couldn't try to make onion segments. I also didn't feel like making any fried cabbage. I just mixed both things together, and added a bit more b'crumbs. I made like 3 clumps of mixture and put the clumps in the basket and fried them. Those pieces were ok.
As for the fish, It was good. I'm thinking it may have tasted a bit like catfish. It was a bit greasy.
One of the things I had with the fish was duros(look them up yourself). They were the wagon wheel ones. When I got them at the store, I wanted to get only .25 lb. When I weighed them, I think I got .36. I think when I checked out, they were actually .29. I cooked these in the oil after the fish. Each one only takes less than 15 sec to cook. The problem is that there is only room in the pot to cook 5 at a time. As for the taste, they were good. A few of them had a bit of fish taste.
The last 2 items were 8oz rolls of fresh mozzarella from ALDI. They were the limited-time "in Marinade" and "in Pesto" versions. I had the m first, then the p. They were both good. I finished everything, but I was very full.
That's it for the food. I'll be having my last special meal later. It is a redo of an experiment I did a long time ago. I will be making a few changes though.
It is 1120pm Sun as I post this. SNL was the repeat of the Sidney Sweeney/Kacey Musgraves episode. I had to watch almost all of it again due to glitching the first time. There were glitches again during the opening sketch and the Please Don't Destroy segment. After the glitches, I got up to do stuff during those segments. I also did stuff during the Air Bud and Bowen is straight segments, because those were fine the first time. I was also up during the first KM song, because I wasn't interested in her music. After SNL, I got up and did some more stuff. I then sat down to start typing. I stopped at 2 to make my meal. I think I got done with it around 4. I got done eating before 5. I then sat and watched tv for a bit, until I fell asleep. I think I woke up after 630. I then got up and put stuff away. I then went into my bed to sleep. I got up for 9am for Meet The Press. I was drowsy, and fell asleep. I woke up and fell back asleep a few more times. I think I woke up a bit after 1130. I then did my reading. After I was done, I called my parents to try to help my dad with his computer(he needs more advanced help). I then took a dump. After that, I shaved with my regular razor. I then resumed typing while listening to Washington Week on the computer. After WW was over, I checked my email, then looked at Nextdoor. While looking at N, I dozed off. I got done with Nextdoor at 531pm. I went into my bed to take a nap. I got up for 730 for Animation Domination(The Simpsons was a repeat, so I didn't get up for 7). At 9, I called my mom. After I talked to her, I watched a bit of the news while typing. I then put on MTP while typing. At 10, I watched some more local news while typing. Around 1030, I put MTP back on. I then put on Face The Nation.
The only notable celebrity death was Mike Pinder. He played keyboards as one of the original members of The Moody Blues. I wanted to mention another death. A bank worker I got help from many times, Ms. Campbell, has died. I don't know when or how. It is sad.
For current events, the Trump trial(one of them) is still going on. The main news item is people protesting about Israel in Gaza. There are reports of antisemitism, which is unacceptable. The college kids apparently were not paying attention in history class. If these protesters actually had a brain, they would be protesting Hamas. Hamas was the one that attacked Israel. They knew what the response would be. They are just a group of bloodthirsty thugs. They just want to kill Israelis. If it wasn't for them, the Palestinians would have a better case for independence. They are also cowards, because they use the same people who you are "fighting for" as human shields.
I think I'll go now. I'll see you next week.
