Inauguration Day

Got nothing for you

I want to come up with something hopeful to say, but I don’t have it. Give me a couple of days. Right now, the sound of the air purifiers running on turbo mode is driving me a little crazy. And they say the winds are going to get bad again. And my ears are pinched from the mask. And the fire conditions are perfect again. But there’s a new president. And a couple days before he took office he launched a meme coin. And then his wife did too. And I guess some pastor did too. But that’s just kind of what the government is now. The richest man in the world bought himself a seat at the table. And then he did a Nazi salute. Twice, actually. Once to the flag, weirdly? But the ADL didn’t really care. They kind of said “hey maybe go easy on the guy? It’s a tough time for all of us, OKAY?” Okay.

I should probably see my friends. But most of them are afraid to go outside. Because the winds and the chemicals and all that. Plus I just read something saying that we’re actually hanging out at alarmingly low rates. So we probably wouldn’t have gotten together anyway. I’ll stay home and watch tennis and listen to the announcers talk about how hot it is until my girlfriend finishes work. That’ll be nice. She’s nice. At least I get to hang out with my dog. But he’s kind of upset because he can’t go outside and generally doesn’t understand air quality concerns. Don’t shoot the messenger, pal.

Give me a couple of days. Morale will improve. Things will get better. Hey, I heard the good billionaire that people seem to like was actually thinking of starting his own meme coin but one that’ll help people? So that’s something. There’s still no guidance on air quality in Southern California but the winds are supposed to die down by the middle of the week. So that’s something. And I’m meditating again. 21 day streak actually, if you’re interested. So that’s something. I bought a new wallet and a pair of pants. We’re doing alright.
