Life in Dad Land - tales of dementia from the inside
Dad is in his 80s, has a non-Alzheimer's dementia, and is otherwise healthy. He's been living with me since early 2020.
Various tales include whatever his current obsession is, such as A Door Into Summer, No Spiders!, and Why Can't I?

If you didn’t call your senators already to demand a no on tomorrow’s funding vote, what’s stopping you from doing it today?

Okay. Time to call your democratic senators and tell them that Bovino’s demotion and humiliation WILL NOT SUFFICE to fund DHS.

It's not radical to think every vote should count.
It's not radical to think every constituency should matter.
It's not radical to think 34% of the vote is not a landslide.
It's not radical to want to vote for the party you truly support.
It's common sense. #PRnow

THIS PHOTO IS FAKE.
As The Gringo asks, please call this photo out where ever you see it!
As The Gringo asks, please call this photo out where ever you see it!
NOTE: bots are passing around this image. The head of the kneeling "agent"? There isn't one.
This obvious fake is to delegitimize the actual (blurrier) photo of the incident, to make people think that was AI generated as well.
Please call out the headless ICE pic when you see it.

Keeping my self busy with stuff, aside from watching the snow fall and shoveling the snow.
Making split pea soup, my way. This includes some lentils and mung beans, plus 1 diced carrot and 1 diced leek, salt pork and ham.
Dinner will be soup, 1/2 an avocado and a grilled cheese sandwich.

Sparkling, glittering snowfall from last night - a sight to make even the blistering cold seem less harsh. Dogs frolicked a bit, I stared in awe, and then retreated. Cold. Too cold.
Alas, I must go out again and shovel a pathway for dad's aid, the mail-lady, so they can reach the front door.
