   Musk, an immigrant, found the only way to become president of these dis-united states. He played trump and his maga minions beautifully. He’s now working on Germany. This will not turn out well for the world. I do not have many years left to endure it, but I cry for my grandchildren.

   Sooo, I guess you don’t mind that not elected private citizen Musk and his minions now have all your personal information, SS# , banking, tax, etc. – unless of course you are a Russian or Chinese bot

   When I was 12 I got the Mattel real Power Shop woodworking kit. Kind of an odd Christmas present for a little girl I guess. I’m a 72 yr old grandma now and I still have it. It has all kinds of dangerous tools in it which I learned to use..I loved the lathe. I now use the grownup versions all the time.

   Christmas’s are getting harder in the 3 years since my sweet husband passed. 43 years went by so fast, but the years since seem to drag on.

   As with cilantro- can’t stand the stuff, tastes like soap . But I like regular parsley

   My dad made the power supplies for the space program as well. We lived next to JPL. I remember putting together those circuit boards for Christmas money. Ugh, my fingers STILL hurt.

   When my son was 8, he would draw all kinds of space ships and aircraft having grown up with Star Wars. One drawing was a triangle black jet with lots of angles. Pretty cool I thought. Then, several months later, they publicly announced the F-117 Stealth fighter. Needless to say, I was a bit surprised that he could design something that no one in the general public had ever seen in 1988. I think I still have it….somewhere

   We read F451 in high school over 50 years ago. Found out later it was the Texas sanitized version- left out the drug and alcohol references and bible burning. Didn’t traumatized me, but really left an impression on what freedoms are and what we could lose. The reason given for the book burnings was it kept everyone “happy”. If a person didn’t know that cigarettes caused cancer, then they wouldn’t worry about dying from cancer and kept the tobacco companies happy….win-win. I couldn’t imagine it EVER happening. Well, we are here now. SAD. These books (F451 and 1984, Brave New World)were meant to be WARNINGS not textbooks on how to DO it!

    This hit hard. It’s been 3 years since I lost my husband of 43 years only 3 days after our anniversary. Then my 92 year old mother passed away in January. Still having a hard time with it all. You never forget, just keep going on, and living in the memories.
