I did login to X to see if I could get the full-text of what Musk said but there are so many posts I don't know how to find it. How can anyone be productive at anything if they are constantly posting on social media??? I guess I have been ostriching a bit about some of what is going on in the current political environment by not tuning in to things like X, but it feels so overwhelming.

Yesterday it was warm enough to go to the outside music venue. Great band and I even did some dancing LOL.

I also had a FaceTime discussion with my 2 SILs and we made some decisions about the Madrid trip. We have booked our flights, arriving there a week before the wedding. Next step is booking a place to stay for that week, then planning a flexible itinerary so it won't be too much for SIL with spine and rib issues.

Today the bus leaves for breakfast in 1/2 hour. This afternoon we are playing golf, then splitting a burger for dinner at the clubhouse. Feels safe to stay in our bubble.

I think I mentioned that the niece who has been battling breast cancer broke her hip a couple of weeks ago falling on ice. She had to have a plate and screws put in to support it - she is only 40. Yesterday DH got a call from the friend who stayed here on the way to the Keys and who we visited there. They got home in RI on Friday after 1.5 months in Florida. That day he slipped on the ice in his driveway and broke his nose! You guys up north be careful!!!

Have a sunny, warming up Sunday!

Amazing that you already are seeing well enough to drive!

I'm glad DH got some relief from the surgery. It did sound like it would be terribly painful to have screws sticking out.

I had to look up INCEL... that one had not crossed my path before, but now I know. In my world I refer to them as Creepers, but I know exactly the type of mentally tweaked misogynistic male you mean.

I forget that women were/are treated like objects in this country. I was raised in a liberal household, in a liberal area (my dad was getting his PhD at UC Berkeley in the early 70s) and lived in a region that celebrated the work of Dr. King and embraced the Women's Lib movement. Women being treated as objects is outside of my personal experience. I am grateful for the reminder that it does.

Okay, I get it now. LOL.... Some days I'm just a little slow!

In my brain it translates to "avoiding what you don't want puts you on a path for getting what you want".
