I know there are more important things... But the Brewers just batted through their lineup scoring 8 runs to go up 10 zero... At the Rays... They are monsters this year ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ

Good day for a sanity reboot... Chilling in the shade on a sunny summer day. No stress from the world. ๐Ÿง˜

Dinner time...and breakfast this morning. Glad they feel comfortable here ๐Ÿ˜ .. the babies are getting big.

Jay Clayton approved by the Senate.. still not showing any spine. Stupid ass republicans just keep digging the hole deeper. Not really surprised though. Pathetic..๐Ÿคฌ

Christ.... Is there anyone worse reading a teleprompter than tRump. Take a breath dude .. maybe less amphetamines next time.

Wow, what an interesting last 2+ weeks for me. Finding I can stay current with an hour of bsky daily, 4 days in LA on business (Never moving back to any size metropolitan larger than 15k), and a week + visiting my Son and daughter in law in Oregon. The war is still dumbass and tRump even worse if...

...even possible. On the up side, fished the Rogue river again in much nicer weather, completed garage makeover, discovered a new bourbon and some of my stunt kites came out of retirement. Check out the river, fishing, launch and flying an 80" tip span kite. Battery and attitude recharge completed ๐Ÿช

Welllllll... Disappointment with the Badgers getting knocked out of the first round by a 12 seed again, but the women's hockey team wins back to back national champs and the 9th time for them. Badgerland is dancing tonight. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ†

Regardless of what else happens today... it's a good day. Third attempt to get home from the Middle East and my brother and sister in law landed in LA early this morning. No matter that it took three trips to the airport after being notified by State that they would be flown out. The first two...1/2

2/2 ....went sideways and being told the seats that were supposed to be available turned out not to be. Don't care really because they finally got out of there. It is indeed a very happy day for the DB family! Am I still raging against the administration... hell yes!

So.., I've had my flag at half staff since Tuesday and no one has shot at my house which I guess means there is hope for my my immediate area. Wish I could say the same for my state though 3 of Suckabee's picks lost in primaries. Time will tell.

How I spent my weekend .. pulling weeds from the asparagus bed and burning scraps and stumps. Cathartic and symbolic... A twofer! If only ridding ourselves of this administration was like yardwork, especially the burning part.

And now the fun starts as he gets further off script and spirals out of control.... Best is yet to come. Ketamine is wonderful

Stand if you support....... And keep waiting cause the Dems will not stand. Nice try at optics for future campaign ads... Asshole

Lowest price anywhere for prescription drugs? 500% less is still less than zero you dumbass... And build there own power plant is a fever dream.. and he is up to 5 lies per minute .. any bets on him hitting six?

Ending today with talk of Davos and Lawrence O'Donnell is eviscerating tRump and his address today. Wondering tonight why Johnson has not been booted yet. Sure as hell would make impeachment simpler. Grow some balls Congress...he has to go.

Nothing like starting the day listening to tRump speak at Davos. Unfucking believable that the audience did not walk out en masse and leave him alone at the podium. What a glorious sight that would be. If anyone still thinks he is our savior and the greatest ever... Fuck the hell off.

Way to go Indiana ๐Ÿˆ for all the schools with no 5 star athletes and only one on the roster in the top 100. The transfer portal has some issues but without it Indiana does not have the season it did. Great game tonight.

It's 12 degrees right now and the wood burning stove is keeping us pretty toasty tonight. Clarabelle found a warm spot about 7 feet from the stove. I'll curl up with Mrs B shortly. Be safe, stay warm tonight all. Back to the fight tomorrow.

Given the events last night in the Twin Cities I really want to believe that the residents are smart enough not to be throwing fire crackers, rocks etc... and the source is from agitators from the right. Am I crazy to think so or are residents not paying attention to the plea to be non-violent?

Tonight with Mpls and Portland in mind... Please let this be the tipping point. I can find no reason it shouldn't be. Ice at minimum MUST be shut down.

The year has just started and here we are right where we left off 2025. Met friends for dinner last night and one asked what's the deal with Venezuela? When I said oil he said really?. PTFA! Disengaged people bother the hell out of me more so now than ever before. The only good thing this weekend...

Nothing like a beautiful Christmas day spent on the lake with my father in law. 68 degrees, low wind and fog for the first half hour. Pretty much had the lake to ourselves for a couple of hours. Time with family seems more important these days. The memories are.
