My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts
A decent
day. Cleaned the master bath and my bedroom. All clean and fresh.
Lots of
activity between Ukraine and Russia. Looks like Russia did a cyber-attack on
the Ukraine’s government offices and threatened destruction. Many see this as a ‘false flag’, that will
lead to an invasion. Not a good sign.
Flagstaff’s
Municipal Equality Index has not improved since 2018. The MEI examines how
inclusive municipal laws, policies, and services are of LGBTQ+ people who live
and work there. Cities are rated based on non-discrimination laws, the
municipality as an employer, municipal services, law enforcement and leadership
on LGBTQ+ equality. Flagstaff is stuck at 88% while Phoenix, Tempe, Scottsdale,
and Tucson all scored 100%. Time for our local government get busy.
Tsunami advisory
was issued to the US West Coast after an underwater volcanic eruption in Tonga.
The advisories also include New Zealand’s North Island, and parts of Japan. The
capital of Tonga has been evacuated due to waves of water and ash falling from the
sky. WOW
