Catching up

For the last few weeks, we’ve been in the sweet part of the season where I don’t need to use the heater or air conditioner.

I’ve discovered that avocados are not only a miracle food, but the pits make excellent projectiles for my blunderbuss.

I have recently returned from Oahu, Hawaii, where I celebrated my 35th wedding anniversary, and my father’s 86th birthday.

Gas was $5.39 per gallon, which was over one dollar per gallon less than Palmdale’s price the day we returned.

Pretty much the same as when I returned in 2015.

We are definitely getting hosed on gas prices here in California.

I never got a check from that multi-billion-dollar California surplus to help pay for gas.

Someone got shot to death in the Merrie Kerr parking lot a couple nights ago.

I heard the gunshots. At least 10. I think that’s the second shooting at the park in the past two months.

That’s where I’m supposed to take my ballot. I wonder if the police tape will be down by then.

I only had six kids come by my house on Halloween. I’m amping on crappy sugar treats right now.

I’ve heard rumors of atmospheric rivers forming to the north. Oroville and Shasta reservoirs might fill back up again.

I’m all for firing up the full force of American energy production.

Returning to energy independence will be the quickest way to solve our inflation and gas price problem.

Coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear, solar, water and wind turbines. We have it all.
