Happy billytea day!

Hi everybody.

My contribution to your life today is that adding 2-3 dashes of tobasco to a Paloma, plus taking the time to salt the rim and squeeze in the rest of that like wedge, just makes it so much more interesting. Palomas just jumped straight from "fine I guess" to the top (or near top) of my soda cocktail list for sure.

Reading about flat tire fixing makes me so glad that I always keep one of those fix-a-flat cans in my trunk. I've thankfully never had a blowout bad enough that I couldn't use that to limp to the nearest tire store. If I ever have a flat outside a city, I'll be youtubing or AAAing for sure.

The only car thing that has saved me more than the flat fixing cans is one of those car starters that double as a USB power brick. So nice not to have to wait for jumping help when the battery dies.

I am now in food coma from Catfish Po Boy and I think the to nap or not nap question has been decided for me.

Mmmm, naps. I kinda want to get back to reading my book, but I know I will be out in about 2 pages. It has been raining all day and it makes me want to doze. Wish I could send my rain west.

I'm watching football. I'm not sure how I feel about it. It's weird.

Can someone explain to me how kneeling is disrespecting the flag? I am so confused, and of course this is my new sister on Facebook so I am not going to get into it with her, because I haven't even met her, but I just think kneeling is one of the most respectful things you can do.

It's not disrespectful, it is the most peaceful protest possible. Sorry, I get angry even thinking about it. My idiot brother is among those who stopped watching football after the initial incident. He has also stopped watching baseball for similar reasons.

So far as I can tell the crazies think that kneeling speaks to hatred of the country.

I once returned to our apartment (after getting coffee from the cafe) on xmas eve and a pregnant woman with a baby was pulled over in the bus zone with a flat tire. In the rain.

I was a similarly stranded pregnant woman on Christmas Eve 1995 (son #1 was born in January), but it was snowing, and my husband was with me.

We were between my aunt's house in one town, and my in-law's house in the neighboring town, and this big guy was walking down a hill toward the main drag where we were stranded. He turned out to be one of my husband's oldest friends (and we weren't in their old neighborhood, it was just a coincidence). He helped us get the tire changed more quickly and back on our way.

I know this one. It's disrespecting the flag because they say so. They say so, because they're racists, and racists don't like people demonstrating on behalf Black people.

A whole lot of white people who don't like to think they're racist have knee-jerk reactions to any criticism of cops (even those white people who break minor laws on the regular). The further past their 20s they get, the worse they get. You'd think every cop was their mom. See also their fondness for saying "All lives matter."
