Dad 742: Happy Thanksgiving!

(A holiday greeting from my father! ~ Tracy)

Derf Here! Weather today is good. Storm tomorrow for Thanksgiving.

I leave you with a loose quote from Mrs. Gurney of the Mister Peepers T.V. show from years ago:

"Ah-um-ah-ah... Happy Turkey Day!"

Until next time!

"Old" New Stuff vs. "New" New Stuff

I wrote last week about my work computer biting the dust.

I thought I was going to get a brand new machine to replace it.

It turns out the "temporary" computer is working so well that it is becoming my "permanent" computer.

So another "hand-me-down" (like my dead one was), but I'm okay with it as long as it doesn't give me any problems.

Lest you feel sorry for me, please know I do sometimes get brand new things at work.

For example, I recently got a new desk chair, more ergonomically correct than my old one.

And sometimes people bring in doughnuts to share with everybody in the office.

The chair will be around for a long time; the doughnuts, not so much! (Yum!)

Dad 741: Preventable

(Dad writes today.... ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Another sunny day as we are gaining on winter. Temps are getting colder, but we are not at the worst yet. Let us get it over with!

 

Still in a good mood from the results of November 5. Like what I'm seeing in Trump's nominations. Wish Biden would hibernate for the last couple months of his term. He seems to be making it worse for DJT. He (Biden) seems like he is in a trance.

 

Been watching the news on the Laken Riley murder trial. Something that should never have happened. If the border was closed, the killer would never have been in this country. At least the killer will be incarcerated for the rest of his life. Three meals a day, a place to sleep, and free time forever. Just another cost for our government. Should have received the death penalty! Deport him!

 

That's it for today. Until next time!

Two Headaches

Headache #1

On Sunday I woke up with what felt like the beginnings of a migraine. I told Lew I wasn't going to make it to church, then I went back to bed to sleep it off. A few hours later I did feel much better.

I learned many years ago that the best way to avoid a full-blown migraine is to respect its beginnings.

Headache #2

My work computer was really slow when I started using it yesterday morning, so I restarted it. It ran great for a couple hours but then it started to freeze up a bit. I decided to restart it one more time.

I would never use this computer again.

Instead of coming back on, it cycled over and over trying to restart. Our tech support person tried to revive it for two hours. He finally gave up and found another computer for me to use while my supervisor orders a new one for me. It took a while to get the temporary machine completely functional, but it's getting the job done for now.

Modern technology is great when it works, but it's a real headache when it doesn't.

Dad 740: An Early Post

(Dad writes early today, for which I am grateful! ~ Tracy)

Derf Here! It looks like a great day outside. Take a step outside and enjoy the 30-degrees temperature. What have we got coming? Cold and snow! Spring, please hurry!

I believe I'm writing this at the earliest time of day ever. As I have been asked, I will be short and done quickly. My blog enterer will be busy later today transporting her friend to a surgeon for an operation. We hope it goes well.

All seems to be going relatively well here.

Trump by over three million votes! As of right now, his vote total is 75.5 million to Kamala's 72.4 million.

Tune in next week for more news.

Until next time!

Happy Veterans Day!

Thank you to all veterans for your service to our country.

A special shout-out to my favorite veteran — my husband, Lew.  💗

May God bless America!

Dad 739: Seeing Red

(Dad writes today! Our household is happy. ~ Tracy)

Derf Here! Another day that is like Summer. The window is open and the temperature is in the 70s.

Well, Donald J. Trump will be back in the White House for another four years. Let's see him work his magic. I stayed up until nearly 2:00AM until Trump had enough Electoral College votes to nail down his trip to the White House. He needed 270 and had 277 when I shut the TV off.

Now I can relax and enjoy having someone other than the Clintons, Obamas, Pelosi, and all their cronies running the country. You are all fired!

We are with you President Trump. We wish you well as you act for us. America first!

Done for now!

Until next time!

Toodle Pip!

Derf!

Fall Back Tonight!

Twice a year we need to change our clocks. "Fall back, Spring ahead" as the saying goes.

Legislators are always talking about whether we should stick to just one time. There are pros and cons to both. I know that one argument against Daylight Savings Time is that school children would be waiting for the morning bus in the dark. Hence the need to "fall back" to Standard Time.

I personally would be okay with Daylight Savings Time year round. It would help with S.A.D. (seasonal affective disorder) in the winter, and we would still have extra light on beautiful summer nights. Now to figure out the morning bus situation.... Hmmmm....
