Winter in California, Summer in Australia, Lakers, guns, health, etc. etc.



This winter has brought wonderful beautiful snow to our local mountains. I wish I could wish the same for those in Australia....the pain runs deep.

We, here, know well the horrible effects of wildfires....every single year. They too, are living the hell. God, please have mercy on them, I pray.

As I ponder these things, I also live as best I can....with my sports favorites.....though nowhere as deep in trouble as the people "down under", wow.

The Lakers are doing the job quite well. I have followed them since around 1965 or earlier.

Gun sales and ammunition are OFF THE CHARTS here....thanks to our world's very incredibly and wonderfully unconditionally loved new president...ahem. Why is that, do you suppose? You folks outside the loop, in other countries, would likely not understand. I do. It's not me....go check for yourself. I did not buy all that....but people are. Yes, he is my president, I do support that. No, I do not believe in his values, and it goes way way far beyond guns. There, some of you can be angry at me.

Three, count 'em, THREE (3) surgeries are coming for my household. Not the best of things. Never are, nope.

I wish I had a great photo of the recent deep snow in our mountains....but I will make up for it with....

Our somewhat new, a couple of months now....but reluctantly wanted dog (by me, reluctant), Holly (short for little jalapeno, as suggested by my neighbor, Allen).
