I have little respect for the #USPS today, but I do realize it had a rich history that has only recently been tarnished. They cant seem to do anything right these days.
Appreciating Americas Overlooked, Forgotten, and Discarded Post Office Murals
A very good example of how much propaganda hate groups spew into the world by their influence upon the wealthy who own our media. Not just the Zionist AIPAC, but all manner of racists and bigots who shape our world view.
Israel Propagandists Are Uniformly Spouting The Exact Same Line About The Bondi Shooting
While Twitler was gloating over the horrific murders of Hollywood legend Rob Reiner and his wife, photographer and producer Michele Singer Reiner, the U.S. military yesterday struck three small boats in the eastern Pacific, killing eight people.
This morning, four vulnerable Repuglicans signed onto the discharge petition all House Dimocrats have signed to force Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to bring a bill to extend the premium tax credits for purchasing healthcare insurance on the Affordable Care Act (ACA) markets to the floor for a vote. The proposal extends the credits for three years.
I must admit I didnt read through all of the links above. I merely skimmed some because I am so far behind in doing my usual routines. These back-to-back extensive #PowerOutage events have really knocked me for a loop.

The #WideDoor installers arrived shortly after 8 a.m. yesterday and began tearing out the old door to install the new one. The day was chosen because the weather was forecast to be warmer and that proved to be true. There was a large door sized opening in our wall for most of the day and once again our home was quite chilly while the furnace struggled. When the installers left late in the day the door was installed, but there are problems. We specifically asked for extended hinges which were not provided. They also didnt have the new locksets to install. And worst of all, the door sticks very badly. It looks to me like the threshold is too high on the right side and forces the door up and out of alignment with the frame. It takes a lot of effort to open and close the door. This has to be fixed when they return today to finish everything up. They are supposed to return at seven oclock this morning and I hope these issues will be resolved.

Shortly after the door installers arrived, Tracey and I went to E. Peoria to check out my new #Wheelchair. (Aaron is still visiting so he kept an eye on the installers.) I got to ride in it from our car, up a ramp and into the store where I rode it around for a little bit. Some adjustments were made to the height of the foot rests, the controller joystick, and the headrest. I maneuvered around the store a while to get used to the controls and was rather pleased I didnt crash into anyone or any thing. Then back out to the car and we returned home. The chair will be stored there until we get the ramp and door finished so we can get it into the house.

Once we arrived back at the house, Tracey prepared to leave for #Watson to help her sister get to a doctor appointment in St. Louis. Sandy has had some health issues. This appointment was scheduled some time ago and couldnt be missed. Unfortunately it coincided with all this other activity. Poor Tracey has been worn to a frazzle lately. She should return in a couple days leaving Aaron and I to hold down the fort.
