Hmm, that was new.

I heard some honking.  It happens.  Neighbors saying "hello" to each other, or the wife as they pass, or whatnot.  Then more.  Then... more.  And more.  Finally, I got up to look.  A pro-US, police, and Trump cavalcade, as it turned out.  It went on for a goodly bit.  Not much I can do, and I look a bit rough having just awaken and not quite cleared and cleaned for the day.

But... I could put my flag out.  So I did.  Got a few waves for my action, if that isn't why.  I did wave as well, and would have either way.  I enjoyed the show for a short bit, then went back to sitting and waking.  I... am still tired.  Not sore though.  Always a spot of sunshine, if you look for it.  Sometimes you have to go deep, and if all else fails?  You are alive to know misery.  That, indeed, is a gift.  For there will be tomorrow.  And if you live rightly, a better tomorrow without doubt.

While at it, I checked on the ducks.  All but Thor are back.  The big white drake.  But they all went into the hutch.  I didn't close it up, but I put in fresh water and food.  I will check on them again shortly.  Still... something... must have happened.  I worry about the big guy.  No, not Biden.  He can get the flock out.  They are twenty to thirty pound birds.  It helps, but not fully defensive.  They can fly, but not all that well... not the drakes.  Bleh.

An hour or two more waking.  I have warm clothes on, long johns under winter pj's.  Plus a warmer t.  Best get a jacket too.  I am keeping the cave at about 66, and happily.  I warm it before showers, and sometimes just because.  But the goal is "less".  To dress warmer and keep the place cooler.  It should be warm enough for the girls.  It's about 45 to 50 when they start having problems, and only for extended periods?  Something like that.  They do like it warmer though.  Or, at least, are more active.

I... was pleased to see the caravan.  I'm not voting, if I don't need to here.  The wall.  And it's enforcement.  The only promises, as I said long ago, that meant anything to me, were foregone in spite of court wins for financing and approval.  I don't care, to a degree, that Hillary and others aren't in jail.  I don't mind some other things that weren't done.  Heck, isn't the "dreamer" thing still active, and work passes... often with a road to citizenship, still in play?  Even family connection immigration is still active.  No wall, no vote.  Sorry, Charley.  Well, not, but you get the drift.

Still, it's... good to see someone motivated.  I remember when I was young, idealistic, and hopeful.  Let them enjoy their foolish moment.  When the immigration flood fully destroys their demographic, and they become a footnote in history like the other native Americans... and very possibly within my lifetime unfortunately, they will... wish they had pushed for the wall a bit more seriously.  And some of the other things.  But, let them have their moment.  It's one of the last they get.  Later.

Not sure, but... maybe someone has caught a number of recent posts in an echo?

It's all and everything or... nothing.
