Today’s Thoughts

Another nice spring day…prescribed burns continue.

The HOA has a crew here today to repaint the wood around the roof eves and the windows. They did a good job on another set of units, now it is our turn. All the second- floor windows are covered with opaque plastic, so I can’t see out, so it feels strange to be sitting by the window to type this and not able to see outside.

Speaker Johnson kept his position in the House. Marjorie Taylor Green says she will try again later. What a waste of the House’s time.

The Hush money trial continues as Stormy tells her story. I’m sure our allies and our enemies are following this too. I’m sure the US looks a little ridiculous throughout the procedures.
