It's a cash extraction scheme that started back in the '80s when Chicagoland folks started buying and developing vacation properties in Wisconsin. The locals retain control; if you're not a resident you don't get to vote on anything and you'll likely be bent over and fucked good and hard when it comes to taxes, permits, building code variances, etc. My cabin is my refuge and my workshop and my Valhalla. If you want to play, you've got to pay. I'm blessed to be able to afford it. Doesn't mean I think it's fair, though.

I usually prescribe some pho with a side of barbecue rib tips. I call it "pho 'cue."

I confess I've been watching a lot of cute cat videos on insta-grim lately:
I'm not on IG thankfully. |

That's a bridge I'll cross when it's time. Monday is our 4 months; def lots more time before I'd be comfortable popping the question. A destination wedding you say? |

I just don't feel it. I had to put on Christmas music in the office today. I've been holding off, they started asking me around Thanksgiving. I think I'm going to slit my throat with a blunt object if I have to listen to this the rest of the week. It's ripping my heart out. I love Christmas, I love Christmas shopping and giving the perfect gifts. Not this year. I haven't bought one gift. The nieces and nephews are getting cash. I have a wreath up on my front door and a small little Charlie Brown Christmas tree. That's about the best I can do.

They are saying they are going to lock down Ontario as of Christmas eve to prevent family gatherings. I think that sucks. 2020 has been rough on lots of people and they could all use the family event to brighten their life temporarily and then lock us down after Christmas. On a related note, I dislike politicians. |

This will be the first year in the 20+ I've known my wife that her family won't be over making tamales at the house. I don't care for tamales, but miss the interactions. Our 3rd date lasted about 36 hours, as we made 110 dozen to support her sons' football team that year.
We struggled out Thursday night and bought the kids some gifts. One store. Friday I went to a second and got my dad, his wife, and my wife some warm clothing (WE LIVE IN CALIFORNIA, IT GETS COLD!!!) I go out every evening just before dusk to turn on the lights outside. It's a struggle. |

But I can imagine how hard this hit must be for someone who is related into all that Christmas stuff and miss on the flipside the annual celebration. Times like these only could get better someday, believe me.
