Another day of horrible weather – raining, windy and cold. Tonight I had some garlic bread, oven fries and chicken nibbles for dinner – something to warm me up on a cold evening. I’ve got my heater going but I’m hoping that the weather will get better because this is ideally the time when the…

Sigh, Just as a follow up to the previous post where I was talking about tactics regarding how to confront the Trump administration, I was watching Real Time Bill Maher last night and one of the guests on the show was Joe Manchin. On a side note, I have my disagreements with Joe Manchin but…
