Okay, gang! Yesterday evening, I saw my first UFO ever!!! Way out here in the Hinterlands, at about 6:30pm.

I pulled up to my house, got out of my car, and then crossed the road to get my mail from the mailbox. That beautiful nearly-full moon was shining bright in the east. The sky was completely clear — no clouds. I stood by my mailbox and looked up at the stars. And then suddenly — what looked like a really bright white star was darting across the sky, heading west. But it was much closer to the Earth than the stars were. And then just as suddenly — poof! — it disappeared. And it didn’t go behind any clouds, or anything like that, because there weren’t any.

Wow.

I waited to see if it would come back into view but it was just gone, baby, gone. But how exciting! I was so happy.

For those of you who are interested in my unending saga of the bacterial infection…

After 3 (!!!) different antibiotics —yes! — the infection was still there. The infection was a lot better, but still there. So yesterday, I had a phone consultation with a Naturopath who has had a long-time relationship with our store (I work at a family-owned vitamin, supplement, natural foods, wellness store). I told him what had already happened, what I was trying to do to get rid of the vestiges of the bacteria and he said: “STOP everything you’re doing. You’re going in the wrong direction and will make it worse.” And he told me what I needed to do instead.

I was so glad that not only did I call him but that he was also incredibly kind and helpful and he made me feel like the end to this 2-month ordeal is finally in sight. Yay. I have been swinging through various stages of excruciating pain to dishearteningly frustrating pain, but the worst is that it has killed my appetite. Some foods I couldn’t eat because of being on the antibiotics, but just about everything else tasted terrible to me. I have had a horrible taste in my mouth for 2 months and could hardly eat anything. I have lost about 15 pounds and I am so weak. I really need this to be over, pronto.

Okay. So.

As usual these days, “Nancy Drew” got some great videos in D C yesterday. M ar ine 1 at W H, but also something strange going on at the Ca p i tol building:

“This was very interesting. Supposedly a Hazmat situation, but the following video, pulls it together. This was a huge distraction, and a reason to close off the entire side of the Capitol. Today was incredible… They secured that side of the Capitol long enough to take care of business and bring that motorcade up Independence Ave and into The Capitol without incident. Very very interesting. Huge day in DC today..”

All videos are here.

*******************

Still wars and rumors of wars worldwide.

Still expecting Ri t t en house to walk and then set off riots in blue cities/states all over the U S (for no reason except to have riots — military/N at ional Gu ard expected to stop the riots. Not sure).

Still expecting Steve Ba n n on to be a MOAB for the Dems.

5th and 8th District Courts block the fake B *den va x mandates.

This also means truckers won’t walk out. I know there are still a lot of container ships off L A, but other ships that apparently don’t pose a threat to the U S seem to be re-routed to F L.

I can only say that at the store, all of our shipments are arriving like clockwork. And when I shop at the grocery, all the shelves are still full. So we shall see.

Gas prices here remain between $3.15 – $3.35. High for around here but not unmanageable. (And “here” is primarily gun-toting, Christian Conservatives. 50 miles from here is different: blue/Dems still wearing m*sks!!!!)

Other than that:

And that is that for right now, folks.

Have a great Thursday, wherever you are in the world. Thanks for visiting, gang. I love you guys. See ya!!
