I was up way too late last night reading about and watching news coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. After sleep, I was back at it again this morning and just watched President Biden’s speech. There are so many things to touch on today I’ll start at the beginning with my breakfast.
I used 13 eggs and was just cooking for myself. That’s a whole lot of eggs for one person, right?
Walmart or Doordash?
I ended up with 2 out of that 13 that I could use for human consumption — over 60% of the product was damaged beyond use. Someone dropped my egg carton and it was not me. This is the worst part about home delivery. You’ve already tipped and rated your driver. Eggs aren’t expensive enough they warrant the time it would require to get a refund or even complain. But it still sucks.
Ice, Ice, Baby
Schools across the county were on a delay for school today. I65 and US31 were both backed up with accidents and slow moving traffic. All gone now mid-day, but more is forecasted.
Icy conditions in Texas caused the cancellations of so many flights — and that’s where tomorrow’s event venue is located. After securing back-up flights just in case… only to see them cancel also, the original flight we secured actually took off on time. High priority now is getting said speaker from the airport to the hotel.

Perry’s birthday is today and it’s a big one. Not to give away his age or anything, today is pretty nifty for him. Happy birthday, Perry!
Your President is My President and I don’t like it.
I could’ve sworn I heard Biden say ‘pacifically’ for ‘specifically’ during his speech this afternoon. Of course, it could’ve been that all his words are slurred, his sentences run together, he rambles, and everything sounds like gibberish. I’m sure it’s different for some, but every single time I hear him talk, I have less faith in him as our leader.
It’s a good thing I have translators — otherwise, I wouldn’t have a clue what he talked about.
It’s obvious Biden’s fed up with being “attacked” by the media. Dude wouldn’t make a good poker player, for sure. Even though I am not nor will ever be a Biden fan, I can still see things I feel are wrong even when he’s the target. Reporters are out of control. Disrespect and stupidity are infuriating. While I’m happy to see Biden get a bit of Trump’s medicine, it’s still a shit show every time there’s a news briefing.
The President of the United States is not supposed to tell everything known about sensitive subjects. Yet, those types of questions are still asked. So dumb! I guess it was harder to feel bad for Trump since he gave shit right back, (at least Democrats seemed to think it was ok) — but when Biden doddles off stage after hard questions, I could almost feel bad for him.
ALMOST.
TIL (Today I Learned): Unlike many other nuts and seeds, the cashew grows outside the fruit instead of inside, within a kidney-shaped drupe that hangs at the end of the cashew apple’s base. The cashew seed is surrounded by a shell containing toxic oils/acid, (same acid found in poison ivy) making processing labor-intensive, hazardous, and costly.
