Was Cruz just in the last election? Wondering how long before his next race. People can have surprisingly short memories. I don't have a lot of faith in people understanding and believing that the human cost of this disaster is due to anti-regulation and pro-privatization policies.
I would be there right now.

That chucklefuck isn't up for re-election until 2024, unfortunately.

Yeah not cool to go to Mexico during this, even forgetting pandemic!!
I’m registering people and checking IDs, it’s a big clinic that does like 1500 people a day so they need lots of volunteers—I think they pay the people actually giving the shots thougg

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, he was re-elected in 2018. Sigh. Everyone hates him! Including other Republicans! Fuck this guy, seriously!

It looks as if the foot or so of powdery snow has been condensed into about 6 inches of pack snow by the sun today. Easier to keep one's footing in, so that's nice.
I checked to make sure the alley cats found the food I put out for them this morning, and not only was it gone, but it appeared there were bird tracks in the snow leading up to the edge of the deck I poured it beneath. They may have gotten a bigger breakfast than I intended. Oops.

Birds do like to steal cat food. Presumably they know the risks.

My dogs are so mad they did not get walked today. Extra time on the back yard is not appeasing Bailey. Miley resolved herself and is now content with sleeping beside me in the recliner.
I’ve done nothing much today. Can’t believe it’s already 3:30.

I had 4 conference calls/meetings today, which I know is not much for some people but it's a lot for me and they were all scheduled back to back and I just want to crawl into bed now but I have another couple hours of work, supposedly.

The dogs wore me down. We went out for a short walk. Nothing is slippery, just covered and the road is slushy.
While out, old man across street is out shoveling. Hell no. So soon 4 of us are out trying to get him and his wife to stop. They don’t, but we help them and get a bit more cleared.
This is the hardest of the snowstorms to clear. I need an ice breaker-upper.

Good neighboring, msbelle.
Oof, that's a lot of meeting, -t.
I just made a really good coconut flour banana bread from a new recipe, holy yum. It said, "Wait until completely cooled before slicing." As if.
