As I was heading out yesterday or the day before, I noticed that a second window pane had fallen out of the storm windows that my awesome brother put up on the front porch oh so many years ago. The windows were old when he put them in and they have been up for at least 30 years. Maybe longer. Anyway, because my boarder wasn’t good about closing the outer porch door, I put a spring back on it so it would close automatically. It is a strong spring. And I am sure the constant banging shut of the door is what has caused the window panes to fall out. I caught the first one as it was only part way out a couple of weeks ago. Maybe months. And I noticed yesterday that the second one had come out. Not that my boarder mentioned it to me. Sigh. I finally, after the snow melted, found pieces of the broke window. In her defense, maybe she didn’t notice. Anyway, I decided that it would be easier for the time being to just put some plastic across the windows. After she leaves in February, I will probably take the spring off the door again since I am pretty good at closing the door. See, my handiness manifests again!

Pretty fix, right?

My tasks today were all house related. I did the window fix. Woo hoo. And I went to City Hall to see about having my mom’s name removed from my tax bill. Which I was told required me to have a new deed made. They don’t do that there, that only happens in the county offices. I called the county office and the person who answered doled out the information very slowly. There are some forms to fill out. And the bank has to be contacted if there is a mortgage. She suggested that I could do it myself, but it was probably better to do it through an attorney. So I called an attorney and left a message.

I also wanted to tell whoever I needed to tell, that I was turning 65 this year. Which I think changes the amount I need to pay for school taxes. She wasn’t in the office so I left her a message too.

Hey, so when did Medicare part B come into existence? And what the actual fuck? I thought when I started getting Medicare that I wouldn’t have to pay anything since I have been paying into the fund since I started earning money over the table 40 years ago. But no, there is a $200 a month fee for Medicare Part B, which, if what I read is true, will be deducted from my Social Security check. And you have to actively sign up for part B. JFC!!! Part A is free. What does part A even do?. This is total crap and needs to be changed. And there are Parts C and D. Those though go to insurance companies. God they are making out like bandits and the people are getting screwed. As usual. Not amused.

I think I need to eat the last of my bacon tonight. So, another BLA for dinner. Plus curly fries. And some macaroni salad. Something in my diet is making my phantom jaw pain return. Not sure what it is, though. I wish there were a magic wand to tell me exactly what is happening in my body and how to fix it. Maybe someday.

Augustus for President: The shooting of Ms. Good is mind numbing. And the administration’s response is horrifying. Words fail.

Had a long talk with a friend about my campaign. I might ask him to help, though I am pretty sure he won’t. It doesn’t hurt to ask.

It would be nifty if anyone reading this wants to throw a few shekels ($1, $5, $1000) the campaign’s way, I have been making the subheading a link (hence the underline and color of the text.) It doesn’t take you directly to the contributions page, because that would be pushier. Did you know that an individual can contribute up to $3300 to any given candidate per election?

I just did a google search for “Augustus for US President 2028” and my website was top of the list. How cool is that?
