STAND UP

 Tonight, is the fourth night of Hanukkah 2021.

The day was a busy one – right up to the candle lighting at 4:30 PM.

I put the busyness off as long as I could this morning – before jumping out of bed around 9 AM: I missed exercise class (but, I have the treadmill – so I’m okay 😉); I ate breakfast at Omelet’s and More (I considered that a mitzvah, as money was funneled into a local business that local people depend on 😊); and then I swung over to Kelso, where I collected the laptops I’d dropped off at Charisma on Monday, to be ‘cleaned’ – and honestly, I really did not miss the laptops while they were out-of-house.

Breakfast at Omelet’s & More; barriers still in place ...

New Read: I read while I ate breakfast; storyline has Charlie Manson overtones.

This laptop has a broken hinge, so it doesn’t close; but, at least I can use it again.

I'm willing to lay down money that these new apartments going up all over the place are for illegal aliens; Ocean Beach Highway.

After I paid for the computer clean-ups, I drove back home to drop the laptops off to recharge; before driving uphill to spend some time with friends at Keenager’s.

I noticed that the hired workers started painting the interior … and the slimy black mold has been pressure-washed off the steps and porch of the house next door; as the Park prepares that repo-pigpen for its new owners.

I also noticed, as I sorted through the mail, that the government will start withholding $150 from my Social Security benefits – starting the end of this month. That will cut into my Daytripping; but otherwise, I should be fine, financially. I will still be making sure to get out-and-about, but I’ll have to strictly stick to the budget – more careful planning, and less spur of the moment drives. One of two big Road Adventures, and more ‘closer-to-home’ hops. I have most of the backroad jaunts figured out – those explorations were what ate up the gas money this year: that won’t be an issue in 2022.

Elohim will make sure I have enough $$$ to “get out of Dodge” when I need to unwind, and enjoy fresher air; that unexpected {extra income} Bob provided for me during his logging year, will help off-set what the government is stealing from my monthly benefits. I am thankful Bob had the foresight to make that provision.

I know I am luckier than most, in that I can escape when it is necessary: some can’t. I will be respectful of that blessing.

The black mold next door is being pressure-washed away.

On the way home from Keenager’s, I hear don the radio, that the US Supreme Court is hearing another petition to overturn the evil obamanite abortion mandates that make it possible for selfish people to abort babies up to – and including after live birth: in which cases, doctors and nurses turn a blind eye to a starving baby left to die without even the comfort of being touched or held as it’s life ebbs away.

And that obamanite tool, sotomayer – a godless/black-hearted Supreme Court seat warmer appointed by barak hussain obama to carry out his evil dictates, actually compared babies about to be aborted as ‘braindead nothings’.

I was so angry when I heard that!

And I don’t care who walks out of my life when I vociferously defend the right of those babies to be born. I am sick and tired of people taking up the causes of saving the lives of dogs and cats … and labeling chimps and hippo’s as humans. I am sick and tired of the rampant insanity that has gripped America since 2009.

As I lit the Hanukkah candles, I thought on the reason for the candles … and hoped/prayed that the Supreme Court Justices do the right thing concerning abortion: it’s time to stop it (1) the ‘right’ to an abortion is not actual Law – but, a Law can be drafted and enforced that prohibits abortion except in dire circumstances (2) the insanely rampant rise of infanticide in America, since the 1973 roe vs wade ‘murder right’, had taken a serious toll on America, and Americans.

I hope and pray rational thinking, and sanctity of life, will gain the upper hand in the Justice’s conclusion to the deliberations – that lucidity will rule, and that rational Justices will not be afraid to stand up for what is right … and do the right thing. It’s time to slap the obamanites down, and get America back on solid footing again.

As I lit the final candle in tonight’s 4-candle-line up, I remembered how victory was won in those ancient days that commemorated Hanukkah: against daunting odds, and with a prayer on their lips and faith in their hearts, the Maccabean’s entered the battle of their lives – and won.

4th Night Hanukkah. 

We, can do the same.

As the candles burned, so did the flame of hope in my heart.

Honking geese flew over the house, so low I could clearly see their feet.

And I started a new lapghan … 

MOD Chevron Lapghan - for myself. 

This one is for me 😊
