It is cold (for LA). Made soup and baked yesterday, which was very satisfying.

This makes no sense. You have to declare cash amounts exceeding $10,000 to CBP by filing FinCEN Form 105. If 2 men had total $14k, then AT MOST only one had more than $10k, and if the 2 were traveling together, neither did.

Basically nothing affects me anymore, which is…not ideal. I hear the Indigenous people singing, wailing, and I am reminded that I am still capable of feeling, everything, at the same time.
Do not misunderstand; I'd rather be emotionally hollow in the short run.
But not in the long run.

The weirdest thing about Americans is how many of them think their laws apply to every person in the world.
But they're certain other countries' laws don't apply to them.

There was a time when I would have watched the Sunday shows to get information about what was happening. They are useless now that the hosts just allow the guests a platform to lie to us all without any follow up questions.
WELKER: Mr. Secretary, are you running Venezuela right now?
MARCO RUBIO: Yeah. People are fixating on that. Here's the bottom line -- we expect to see changes in Venezuela

I was in a hotel last night at the border so I had US TV. My pup woke me up at about 1 am and he was just sitting staring at me. Not out, not food, just staring. So I pulled him into bed and turned on the TV and saw it unfold live, after months without live TV

The right wing cult is so disturbed. A man in Baja just tried to tell me that gas is $7 a gallon in California because it’s a lib state and when I showed him he was wrong by Google search, he told me to go back there if I like it so much. M’dude, you stayed a fact and I showed you it was wrong.

The most pernicious thing about this particular set of talking points is that it completely glosses over the fact that this proposal will almost certainly do away with the protection for consumers with pre-existing conditions.
Cassidy: "If she goes and gets 2 types of shampoo & one is a dollar cheaper, she'll get the cheaper one & the other lowers their price. Once you give her the power of making the decision, she's gonna shop -- that begins to save her money and squeezes waste out of the healthcare system."
