Friday Morning..Feb 7th

Well Thursday was another busy day but the weather changed dramatically with high winds almost what seemed like hurricane force at times and later in the evening just about bedtime a strong line of storms with tornado's hit the Suncoast. I'm not sure of the damages but some tree damage occurred during the day as the news reported. I'm saddened to report a fellow trooper was gunned down and killed by a thug but thankfully an off duty LEO saw the incident and wiped out this thugs life. I also got word from sister Pat who is the full time care giver for Paw Paw that he was taken to the VA hospital because of some shortness of breath and a severe pain in the chest area. Seems he contracted a UTI which may have led to this infection and the cause of the pain. Anyhow he is 92 and doing fairly well despite these issues. He was admitted overnight for further testing.

I started the day much the usual with a before 6 roll out to my usual routines; cup of hot green tea, quiet time and then a ride out to the Rec. for two plus hours of pickle ball inside the gym as it was just too windy to play outside. We had a couple new players and they were very good  who are here for a month from the upstate N.Y. where pickle ball is very prevalent. I stopped by the library for a couple new reads before pedaling home on my bike against a very strong head wind.

I piddled around in the gardens harvest enough leafy greens such as; Swiss chard, 2 types of kale, 2 types of lettuces and beet greens as well as beets themselves and some carrots to go along with the salad and our supper. The wind was playing havoc with the tall garden plants like the 6 foot tall tomato and egg plants. I double staked them but the collards and other plants took a beating from the strong winds. I did hand water for awhile but it looked like rain was coming later in the evening plus the watering loosened the soil around the plants and I didn't want them to blowout of the ground.

Well I've been following the sham impeachment hearings and all the political fallout from it and I've seen some rather disappointing posts from those who are filled with the TDS. I'm amazed at those who hate this potus and such vitriol by the press. We've in my opinion got the best potus ever to turn the nation around after the failed divisive 8 years of the Obama administration which was the root of the failed coup of Trump by his sycophants and then loving of the terrorists in the congress. We are at a turning point on whether the nation will go socialist and destroy our culture with those who want to become potus against Trump or staying a republic with capitalism and a christian nation.

There is a bill proposed by the liberal dems called "the way forward bill" which will give all illegals citizenship and especially those who have been deported for criminal acts. 51 dems in the congress thus far have signed on and if it becomes law we the natural legal citizens will become second class to these criminals. These criminals some close to a half million in numbers will be brought back and granted all of the rights that we now have. Please check this bill out and stand up for the nation. Tucker Carlson on Fox News last night brought this insidious bill to light and NO ONE in the biased MSM is sharing this information. This is flying under the radar of most Americans as the dems are finding away to increase their voting base to regain power.

Well I watched the news for awhile and see where the dems will never give this potus any peace or pass any bills that give him any credit. We must defeat them at the polls in Nov. and take back our country before we have another sham impeachment. Never would I believe they are so adamant on destroying this non politician who has turned the nation around in just 3 years. This is the reason they hate him so because the congress has become a golden goose for career politicians and now we are seeing just how inept they have become and how they have sold out the nation for personal gain. Just look at the millionaires in the congress and tell me they have the best interests of the working man.

I tuned into the Lightning Game and they beat the Penguins in a rough and tumble game. Now here are real athletes and I wonder how many of the players from football could match their toughness, Oh well, LATER

The beets and carrots from the garden. Its unusual to have 3 out 4 carrots with doubles that I harvested for the first time this years. Nancy roasted them in olive oil and they were Awesome in flavor and I put the beet greens in the salad as well.
