Digby nails it. Jan 6, then and now.

If Donny Convict pardons these assholes, he rips the biggest hole in the concept of law and order imaginable.

Well, I missed the big snow in Louisville. While a foot of snow was coming down at our Louisville home, I was playing golf in 75 degree sunny weather. I like a snowy day, but I think I got the best end of the deal. Also glad I didn’t have a flight to SDF scheduled for this period. But Socal’s problems loom, as we have big fire risk (high winds and low humidity) the next few days. Big enough that SDGE says they’re likely to cut power in our area, using the Public Safety Power Shutoff clause in their charter. Our new Generac generator should negate that inconvenience for us.

Played golf yesterday with a couple of high rollers from Connecticut. Really nice guys, but definitely one percenters. One guy professed to having homes in Hawaii, La Jolla, Montana, Connecticut and who knows where else. The other was a private jet pilot who spends a lot of time ferrying other high rollers to Saudi Arabia at crazy costs. They were both interested in buying a yet another home or lot at the country club we played. Must be nice. Real estate is definitely an investment haven for the ultra-wealthy.

It’s January 6th, the day that MAGA stormed the capital four years ago, and the day that certain Rethuglicans now want to make a national holiday. Seriously? Jan 6 should be a civics lesson taught to every kid in school as an example of threats to democracy.

Today, while we have a crew here repairing tile in one of the bathrooms, I’m on a Youtube binge. I need to be available for questions and approvals, so…just killing time, and Youtube is one of the best ways I know. Vintage stereo, writing tips, UK basketball interviews, reviews of electronic gear, music…it’s all there. I could probably just kill all my (our) TV and streaming subscriptions and entertain myself with Youtube.
