Oh no, there’s no global warming…

Usually at this time of year I am making a lot of soups, stews, and other tasty cool weather meals.

We’ve had temperatures in the mid 80s the last couple days.

Neither one of us wants those cool weather meals.

Global warming?

What say you?

More things to rant over

Has anyone noticed the ‘natural gas’ ads that claim they are good for the ecology and all?

Did you also notice that the ads are Exxon/Mobil ads? Oh, yes they are. Look at the last few seconds of the ads and you’ll see Exxon/Mobil owns the ads.

Yes, big oil wants you to support them and forget that they are the biggest enemy of our delicate ecology. Think fracking, their desire to drill in our public lands without regulation, and the pipelines…mustn’t forget those nasty, polluting things.

Their ads are banned in the UK.

My paper-recycling bin runneth over

 

     Another election is approaching our area.  Politicians waste trees and money sending flyers to me.  Said flyers leave the mailbox and go directly into the recycling bin.  I could probably save time by placing the blue bin under the mailbox and label it ‘political flyers here please’.  Oh, if only they’d get a clue as to how much money they waste.  No, I don’t read the flyers especially when the mudslinging begins as it always does.

     If you want my vote, do come and talk to me.  Give me some proof that you actually care about the people in your district.  Don’t waste my time calling me on the phone with a poll.  I refuse to answer questions asked by faceless voices.  Another thing that will greatly impress me is if you don’t bad mouth other candidates.  My parents always said, “If you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything.”  Nothing lowers my opinion of a candidate faster than when one begins mudslinging.

     Do not talk to me as if I am stupid.  I stay informed and actually have opinions.  However, you will never see them on this blog because my politics are private.  There’s nothing I hate more than having someone try to shove their politics down my throat.  Therefore, I refuse to do it to my readers.
