Today I am grateful for food for thought.
I'm crazy busy....
and feelin' crazy.
I'm trying to devote three hours a week to activism.
I'm looking for a job while trying to scheme ways of building my business on very little time and money.
My daughter's boyfriend took Xanax and Methadone in front of the grandbaby. He mustn't do that very often because it nearly killed him.
He may need a new kidney.
So.....that happened.
The local school district isn't reporting rapes to the police department. I caught the superintendent and the head of security lying about it.
It sucks reading body language.
I have four daughters. I'm a rape survivor. I have ways of getting even with liars.
I'm scheming.
Public schools are not safe. That's the lesson I get from the school shootings.
Maybe....it's time to start fighting the tax hikes the lawmakers desperately want for public schools. The Democrats want it so bad that they are fighting any proposal to make public schools safer.
One wonders if any person can make a difference.
The system is far too corrupted. We can make waves. Those waves may knock out a bad proposal but the bad proposals come in waves - one right after another.
No one person has the energy to stop them all.

It was a woman who I met near the Wyoming* border that caused me to think.....
We were there for an activist meeting. We drove from around the state to meet to discuss Anti-Constitutional bs on the part of local governments.
It was a fairly warm sunny day.
She's wearing a hat nearly down to her eyes, sunglasses, scarf and billowy sweater.
I thought, my goodness, she must be roasting in that outfit.
She gave me a warning.
The local governments stalk activists.
Well, yeah....I mean many of my activist friends across the state had GPS devices found on their cars around the time I found one.
Yes....I had a stalker but it turned out to be my ex-husband and his family.
Yes....there were cop cars from my local government outside of my home on a daily basis. Because I hated the local auditing department so much, I started my business in a city 40 minutes away. There were a couple of times I found cop cars from this municipality outside of my office - three jurisdictions away!
When I asked about the GPS box, the police department claimed they didn't put it there (as it would be unconstitutional). It was further claimed that if they put one on a vehicle because they had a warrant, the owner wouldn't find it.
When I asked about the Aurora city car outside of my office in Arvada, I was told that the Aurora water department was working with the City of Arvada on a water deal. That was easily confirmed.
The second time I saw it, it was on the weekend. I chalked it up to an unethical employee using a city car on personal time.
Yes.....cops would show up on my property claiming I dialed 911 (which was easily disputed by having them collect all of the phones in the house and hitting redial). It would seem someone spoofed my phone number.
That was easily remedied by changing my phone number.
Yes....I found cops hanging out on my property claiming that they were chasing a random criminal. Acting like Harley Quinn scared them away. I never thought a pink aluminum bat would come in handy.
As an adult, I can attest that acting is a very important social skill. I urge my kids to study anything they wish to study because one doesn't know what will come in handy in the future.
I even find comic books to be a source if inspiration from time to time.

I don't know.
I have dirt on our local Senator but I don't share it because it came to me by a higher up in the Republican Party. If it were useful dirt, he'd use it.
I was told he was afraid of her looking like a victim and he looking like an aggressor.
Yesterday, I was reminded that powerful people give lunatics that information so that the crazy person will share it. That helps the powerful person get what they want without getting their hands dirty.
Politics IS dirty.
This senator ought to know that the truth always reveals itself.
I don't have to say a word.
She didn't live in her congressional district when she was a house rep. five years ago. How did I know? Well....a local news crew filmed her at home after she complained about being a victim of a threat.
The view from her front window showed that she lives near my office - which is outside of her jurisdiction.
This matched what the Republican told me.
She's dumb enough to go on television again pretending to be a victim. That would be the time for the Republicans to strike.
It's not my job to do their dirty work.

After meeting the scarf clad woman last week.....I've realized why the Aurora police won't take stalking reports.
If there were an investigation, someone at the city would be found culpable.
They blame the DA for their failure to take police reports. They claim he doesn't prosecute stalkers.
Maybe....there is something more going on.
I don't know if my ex and his family were inspired by the city to continue the stalking -or- if they saw how it impacted my life and picked up where the city left off....
It probably doesn't help to think about it.
Why are they leaving me alone now?
I wonder....
Their hesitancy could be due to the sheer number of people who get hurt or sick after pissing me off.
That's just a coincidence.
Rumor has it that I'm a witch. Perhaps the smartest thing a stalking victim can do is play up the local gossip.
Truth be told.....the people who piss me off are reckless. They take risks by harassing me. They take risks by breaking the law.
People like that tend to take risks in other areas of their lives. They probably take risks by smoking and eating poorly. They probably drive like assholes.
That could explain why they get sick and why they are in bad car accidents.
If you want to blame the redheaded bitchy witch, that's okay, too.
Be careful out there. Things are not always what they seem.
Love ya,
S.
