Cassi Creek: Woke up
to about 1.5 – 2 inches of rather dry snow.
Since it is forecast to remain below freezing today, this may pose some
travel problems.
I need to
scrape off the deck and steps, and then bring in more wood for the stove. Naturally, the amount I thought would be
adequate for today and tomorrow will prove to be too little by noon.
The landline
is working. Our neighbor’s up valley was
not as of nightfall yesterday. Another
of those unexplained events that leave people ready to commit acts of violence
at corporate offices.
The
GOP/teavangelists have proposed yet another attack on the poor. Now they want photo IDs to be shown when
using food stamps. No photo, no
food. They support the rip off artists
and corporate con games that led us to the economic disaster of 2008. But they have not one bit of concern for the
millions of people whose jobs, homes, and savings, vanished into offshore
accounts for the ultra wealthy.
I try to
avoid comparison that seems to mirror the collapse of the Weimar Republic and
the rise of the Third Reich. But,
damn! It isn’t that much of a reach to
see the impoverished punished and humiliated just because they are
impoverished. Watch for “P” armbands
coming to food stores, clinics, and schools near you.
