Sick day request

I am sick of Trump.


I need a day to recharge and chase away the depression.  I'm going to finish caulking some minor cracks caused by a 5.+ earthquake a few weeks back and putter around my fast-growing garden, to regain some happiness.



Time To Deflate In My Garden Photos

Below the recycled post and fence is a six foot row of radishes obscured by the butterfly bush. They should be ready to pick in a couple of weeks. 

Those aren't marijuana plants on the right, those are yuca, a root vegetable I will be exclusively eating if Trump cuts the payroll tax that funds social security. The banana tree will take about a year before it'll produce fruit. That's a Papyrus plant next to the banana tree. The zinnias and herbs were grown from seeds. I need to paint those concrete blocks that are filled with herbs! Yay, another project!

Thank you for your patience and apologies for any humor inconvenience. 

Searching for peace.

Trump wants to buy Greenland

Greenland responds to reports Trump talked about buying the territory
The Greenland Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to reports that President Donald Trump had talked about the possibility of buying the territory.
"Greenland is rich in valuable resources such as minerals, the purest water and ice, fish stocks, seafood, renewable energy and is a new frontier for adventure tourism," the ministry's account tweeted Thursday morning. "We're open for business, not for sale."

I Wonder If Trump Laughs At These Children In Private
A federal appeals court on Thursday upheld a previous court order mandating the Trump administration provide basic personal hygiene items to children in detention at facilities in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas.
The ruling by the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Fransisco hands a loss to the Trump administration, which had challenged a lower court decision two years ago ordering U.S. officials to provide basic personal hygiene items as well as adequate sleeping conditions, temperatures and food and water to children in detention at facilities in the Rio Grande Valley.
