My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
A warmish
day with high clouds.
Inflation keeps
rising. It is now at a 40-year high. This is especially difficult for those
elders on a fixed income. I certainly fit the elder category, but I do have
some investments that help with the inflation. I know it is hard for so many.
Even so, our grocery stores here have fewer products and more empty shelves.
The Navajo Rez only has one grocery store chain with about 5 stores to cover
the entire reservation. Bashes, the grocery chain, announced yesterday that
they are struggling to get items to the rez because of lack of products needed
and too few truckers to deliver the products. Many members of smaller communities
are already driving over 50 miles just to get to a Bashes and then finding only
empty shelves. So sad.
Prince
Andrew, the playboy of Buckingham Palace, has been stripped of his military
titles and charities amid a sex abuse lawsuit. There has been lots of tabloid
news about his connection with Jeffery Epstein.
