No worries. It hasn't moved in at least 60 years. We fed it trash on a kindergarten field trip.

Barn work and riding my horse. Also, watching football on mute, very zen.

The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit, movie circa 1968, is a nice happy diversion.

Chris Van Hollen is a GREAT public servant. He was my Congressman before he went to the Senate. He gets things done for his constituents.

They've showed up for the past 5 weeks with no hope of being paid. Seems pretty dedicated to me.

At least for my FSA, the list of what you can buy is pretty extensive. So, the years I'm healthy, it's a huge spending spree at CVS on 31 December. Advil to Zinc. After glasses, sunglasses, sport goggles and contacts, of course.

Government shutdown is a misnomer. Essential employees are working unpaid, and under a lot of stress. If we had a "real shutdown", literally no one working, Congress would come to its senses quickly. No planes moving, no social security checks mailed, no one defending against bombs or cyber attacks.

Who pays for all the property damage DHS causes? Insurance companies must be having a fit. Luckily, there's usually good film to back up claims.

The enthusiasm is off the charts! I love it when someone goes yard, and the announcers start with, "Si, Senior!".

Grocery stores in my area offer senior discounts, and of course there are all of the "member" discounts. I feel like it's their business who they offer discounts to.

How long can the government legally require people to work without paying them, though? "Government shutdown" is a misnomer, because key people are still working. If they walk out, planes don't fly, social security checks don't process...

Maybe Pastor Webnon should open a Bible? Matthew 7:1, "Judge not lest ye be judged" seems like a good place to start.

If you are furloughed, you can apply for unemployment, but if you're "essential" and working without pay, you can't. Weird stupid rules that hurt people even more.
