Thoughts for the day

A very nice spring day with a little wind.

I got an email that both my Federal and State taxes were accepted by IRS. Now just to wait for the checks. Yea!

My Social Security check was still $43 for the month. I’ll give it one more month to give me the correct amount.

It’s hard to understand the new 25% tariff on foreign cars and/or foreign parts that goes into effect Apr 3. This could lead to several million new cars not being purchased. Welcome Trump’s Make America Great.

Yesterday there was a protest of about 300 at City Hall here in Flagstaff. They were asking Where was Eli Cain, our Representative in the Congress. He hasn’t been back to Flagstaff since the election, hasn’t had any town halls, and just gives form letter responses to emails. It is a good question that still hasn’t been answered.

Four US Military are missing in Lithuania where their vehicle got stuck in water and mud. The military is looking for them. Odd, when President Trump was asked yesterday, he said he didn’t know about it. That’s odd because protocol demands that the President in kept in the loop of all missing US citizens in foreign countries. I guess Pete was too busy on Signal to remember to inform the President, an important part of his job.

Trivia for all
