Serious question. Why do so many able-bodied people insist on using the handicap buttons on doors? I understand kids’ fascination with it, but adults? Come on people! If I, as I one-handed jabrone can open a door without using the button, you can too!!!
This Worries Me
So often talk of the economy is just partisan blathering but gas hitting $5 a gallon (not quite $4.50 in OKC as of this writing) is really bad. The price of gas effects everything in the economy, creating a chain reaction that is not going to end well for anyone who is not in the upper ends of the wealth scale.
The economy is so complex and massive and the reality is that it has more moving parts than any one presidential administration can manage. But the fact of the matter is that our economy has been hanging on by a thread for decades. From what I can tell, and I am by no means an economist or expert, our economy never truly or properly corrected after the tech bubble burst at the end of the Clinton administration. The economic policies of every administration since have focused on propping up the wealthiest at the expense of the poor, working, and middle classes. Hopefully, the Biden administration will try to change this course but considering the modern political landscape, it is doubtful.

I Like The Boys And All But…
I’m not sure I can keep watching it. Season 3 has kicked things up a number of notches and I’m just not sure I can handle the violence or Homelander’s increasing cruelty anymore. There was a scene in the third episode with Homelander and The Deep that nearly broke me. The show does an incredible job of holding a mirror up to modern society and as a critique on the current crop of superhero franchise films. The problem for me is that I look to superheroes for hope and inspiration and The Boys give me neither. In fact, it fills me with dread and despair.
If You Want to Live Longer…
You might not want to live in Oklahoma. Who knew the partisan divide would be so deadly?

No Wonder Things Are So F*cked
One Band, 5 Songs
Hailing from Providence, RI, The Amazing Royal Crowns (later The Amazing Crowns) mixed the high-end energy and intensity of punk rock within the structure and framework of rockabilly creating a sound that nearly eclipsed all bands past and present in the genre. Rockabilly, and rock 'n' roll in general, will never again see another band like The Amazing Royal Crowns.
That’s All for Now
Please be kind, be safe, and…
I’ve never watched The Boys because I’m not particularly interested in Garth Ennis’ style of writing.
