In all honesty I haven't picked up any of my guitars for at least a month. For the last 2 months the water and power have been digging up the ole pipe lines and replacing them so I could only get out with my car on the week ends , now I see they are starting on the street in the front of this old apt. The building is on a corner. The extreme noise is unbearable.
Last month I went to Costco to pick up my meds and on the way back all the roads were blocked because of some parade. I was stuck in bumper to bumper in 97 F for over an hour. With all the traffic it was more like 100 , thought my air cooled VW was going to over heat.
My wife's legs have been hurting for a month and we don't know why. Last Monday I drove the same trip to Costco and it was cloudy then after I got home once it got dark we had thunder and rain then heavy winds . I have plexiglass tie wrapped to the railing on the front porch , I checked the next morning and more than half were broken so I had to fix that. I put it there so out old cats and the new one will be able to sit out there and not be able to jump off. Today the cable box/DVR my wife records all her shows on suddenly dies so all her recordings are gone and she was really bummed and depressed , they are sending a new unit. I know it may sound silly she would be so bummed I won't attempt to explain it.
Every time I drive anywhere there is some detour due to some road construction or some new building some company is erecting . We cannot go in one single place without some insane face covering which makes it difficult the breath and they do nothing really all because of some freak DR F, you know who he is with his computer modeling game show. Now they are trying to raise the gas prices even higher and that's only in Los Angeles plus they want to raise the cig tax. Plus if they pass it in their 6 Billion dollar bill if you spend more than $600 they can get involved to see what you spent the money on. Don't know if the last part is all states or just here.
The only good news is it's finally cooling off. Where we live used to be a nice place and each year it just gets worse and worse. Even if we had the funds we have no idea where we would move to and my old car is not going to get us far and so many people are moving out of this area a U-Haul is not an option.
I have really had enough , can't stand politicians, They swear on a bible to do good while they stab everyone in the back and we pay for their health care and pension and anything and everything their heartless souls desire. I hope all they have done comes back to bite them big time , no one lives forever hopefully swearing on a Bible will be what bites them.
This area has more homeless people than anywhere in the states , old , young , vets they are everywhere and no one seems to care. For about a year we were getting free food boxes most of the dinners were not what we would eat , once a week when they arrived I would pack more than half of it and put it out near an area where there were homeless people , felt that might help a tiny bit.
In one sense I am happy I was born when I was , now to be old and see just how bad things have become is really difficult.
