Thoughts in My Head

Any recommendation for a magnetic power bank for an iPhone 15 Pro would be appreciated #iphone, #apple, #magneticpowerbank. I am going on a 7 hour train ride and pretty sure my phone will need to be recharged.

As soon as he was inaugurated, President Trump began his attack on the DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) program. This attack included and still includes the websites of the various federal departments and agencies. At one point, the Army and Navy removed articles about the Navajo code-talkers, Japanese American WWII units, and even one about Jackie Robinson. What made this so funny (in the wow, really, people way) is that none of these people made it where they did because of any DEI program. Fortunately, after an outcry, these articles were restored. The Small Business took down their image showing people of various colors, genders, and nationalities as if it didn’t represent the people of the United States today. These examples are just a tip of the iceberg; the NPR article Here are all the ways people are disappearing from government websites has more examples.

I would like to use the Orion browser as my default browser, but I can’t get the Nordpass extension to work. I have tried both the Google and the Firefox extension and all I get is a spining circle. I have already paid for Nordpass so don’t want to change apps. Does anyone know of a solution?

Currently at Legenderie Listening to The Doors Riders on the storm

I realized after last night’s dinner at Cracker Barrel that the only reason I like going there is their candy and soda collection. It is one of the few places I can pick up a bottle of Birch Beer and various-flavored candy canes, especially cinnamon and clove. Is there any soda or candy that you like, but is hard to find?

f you have some of your favorite movies on older DVD’s you may want to check to see if they are still playable DVD Rot

When an American Town Massacre its Chinese Immigrants A both fascinating and horrifying tale of a mostly forgotten part of United State’s past. Where anti-immigration mix with racism and labor unrest leads to an explosive result. Forgotten by mainstream white Americans that is.

One hundred percent of tequilas and eighty percent of avocados consumed in the U.S. come from Mexico. With the new tariff that may or may not be coming into effect, both tequilas and avocados are going to go up in price. If you are a lover of guacamole, avocado toast, or tequila, you may want to start saving up. Tariffs on Mexican goods are getting ready to hit you right in the avocados

I tried to watch the State of the Union last night for about 10 minutes off and on, because like a car crash it was hard not to. The Republicans were like pop up dolls and the signs the Democrats held up were nice try but really. As far as the speech was concerned the only word I could think of was delusional. No money is being sent out to people listed as a 150 years old and I’m sorry President Trump you are not the best President ever.

I am currently down the Micky Hart Planet Drum rabbit hole and loving it open.spotify.com/track/6Xu…

I was setting up my new shampoo and conditioner this morning, when I realized I had purchased two shampoos and no conditioners. The good news is now I have a enough shampoo for several months. The bad news is I maybe without conditioner for a week.

This week I would like to recommend The Walk a podcast by Father Roderick, a Catholic priest who is both a Priest and a Geek. Each episode he talks about his weeks and the problems he is experiencing and some solutions that he has found. I like the easygoing approach of the podcast.

Tracking Trump Administration Litigation So many law suits that the Trump Administration is dealing with. I expect more are coming.

RIP Roberta Flack First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

My niece paid off her college loan by agreeing to work with the VA as a pharmacist for ten years. She finished those 10 years several years ago. Instead of taking a job at a big pharmaceutical company, she chose to continue working at the VA. Now she may have to answer a fool’s-ass question from an egotistical man. Seriously, she has better things to do.

In rememberance of the 80th Anniversary of the Battle for Iwo Jima I would like to recommend the movie Letters from Iwo Jima (2006) — The Movie Database (TMDB).

Today’s weather has been yucky. We gone from rain,to freezing rain, to now snow. Sidewalks and roads are slippery.

Ordered the Power Beat Pro yesterday and they arrived today. First thought was wow the case is huge. I brought them because I needed earbuds that would stay in my ears, so far so good

I purchased two album Super bloom and Los Angeles Rising on Bandcamp to support their campaign to aid in the California Wildfire Relief. 🎶
