Preparing an OT can be easy. I've missed having an art based OT with paintings, poems, and so on. It doesn't have to be a complex time consuming essay...but of course can be if that's your pleasure. Also, you can schedule it to post in the morning ahead of time, so no need to rise early if that's not your thing. Just a few words of encouragement for some brave soul.
A cool and thin trade day, but I finally found another pair of earmuffs that I like. Got to visit around with a few buddies too. At least it is sunny, and headed toward 60 today.
Hope your day is a good one!

I have the time and the energy but not the skills. If you doubt this just read my recent exchanges with snoopydawg.
My building finally got around to plowing. I guess their mini golf course electric one-seater with shovel front contraption was in the shop for a few days.
Cold but sunny and I enjoyed first outing in a few days.
Next longer one with chums for a walk later on coming up at 2:00.

Getting out was great and we saw Ricky driving the cart when we arrived back near home. He stopped and chatted with us. We said, "You look like you're having fun."
"It's a lot better than a shovel," was the reply and we all laughed.
Nobody said, "The snow started on Friday night. Where were you?"

I happen to know someone who can help you with your skill deficiency.
Go ahead and do the OT and start off with keeping it simple and building from there. Any time you need help just ask and someone will be by to help you. I’d like to know more about your neighborhood and the places you haunt. Parks and fun shops in your area if you need any hints.

Good morning, people!
A bit rainy here, but not too chilly, at least.
I accomplished a great deal yesterday. I had a jail conference with a defendant whom we all suspect needs to be evaluated by a psychiatrist. I extracted from him his solemn promise he would not call the judge a motherfucker, ever, ever, again.
Good times!

The Pentagon has decided it will fight Hawaii’s order to drain fuel from tanks at a storage facility following a leak that contaminated Pearl Harbor’s drinking water, a top Defense official said Monday.
The Defense Department first said earlier this month that the Navy would comply with the emergency order from the Hawaii Department of Health to empty the underground tanks at the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. The order came after the facility’s leak contaminated the Navy’s drinking water system for 93,000 people, sickening numerous military families.
But after a Monday meeting with Hawaii Gov. David Ige (D) to discuss “how we can work together through some pending legal matters,” Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks said the Pentagon would file an appeal to fight the state order.

@NYCVG
they don’t really care about us, the people of Hawai‘i; we’re just an inconvenience that happened to come along with what they really value, namely the strategic siting for the empire’s military bases.
Like with Okinawa, or the Chagos islands (Diego Garcia), or Airstrip One (= the British Isles) in Orwell’s 1984…
Oh, sometimes the system will pretend to care and look like it’s giving us a say. But when push comes to shove, it’ll always end up as you, Rachel Corrie, versus the IDF bulldozer…

Joshua somebody said that they will be removing their content from Spotify until Rogan shuts his yapping. I asked him if he had ever watched the show to see all the misinformation. He hasn’t answered yet. Silly people.
Graham Nash has also removed his music. Love how the people who once sang about sticking it to the man have joined the man. Kneel Young is moving his stuff to Amazon. Yeah that’s sticking it to the establishment.

Nevertheless, the vaccine mandate has been bitterly denounced by a small minority of owner-operator truckers, many already active in far-right politics and conspicuous in their opposition to all anti-COVID-19 containment measures, including mask mandates. Egged on by other far-right and outright fascist forces, including the likes of Rebel Media, they launched their cross-country Freedom Convoy.
The claims advanced by this unrepresentative minority, made up overwhelmingly of far-right activists, conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxers, are fatuous and absurd. Tamara Lich, an official in the far-right, western separatist Maverick Party and the organizer of a GoFundMe campaign that to date has raised more than $6 million to support the convoy (much of it from anonymous donors), rails against the government “overreach” and “tyranny” of elementary public health measures.
In truth, no individual has the “right“ or “freedom” to go around infecting others with a potentially deadly virus. To the extent that vaccines are freely available, there is no legitimate reason for workers to refuse them. Arguments to the contrary are based on a combination of unscientific nonsense and social Darwinist and fascistic conceptions of “survival of the fittest.”
The only “freedoms” the protesters support are the freedom of the virus to run rampant and the “freedom” of big business to keep operating at full tilt, herding workers into unsafe workplaces amid a raging pandemic, so as to maximize profits.
Geezus where to start? Most of the truckers have been jabbed, but for some reason that fact is usually left out in the articles that call the truckers fascists and white supremists. Are all the people supporting the protest also fascists and anti vaxxers too? How in the hell could anyone know, but they just make the accusations anyway. This guy sure seems to be making lots of assumptions without providing any information on how he has come to making them.
Getting one of the FREE vaccines doesn’t stop people from spreading the virus or doesn’t he know that? And it’s not just about the mandatory jabs that they are protesting against. It’s about how their government has destroyed people’s rights because it’s an emergency just like what happened here after 9/11 when congress abolished the bill of rights for us when congress passed the patriot act and then Obama rescinded habeous corpus. It’s also about vax passports that have gone global which to me is a show me your papers. Not sure how anyone can support a mandatory medical procedure because it’s the start of a slippery slope. If governments can make you inject something you don’t want into your body then why wouldn’t they be able to mandate that you get something taken out. Guess people have forgotten that it was legal once to force women to be sterilized. That only ended 50 years ago.
Since the jabs don’t actually keep people from getting infected and spreading the virus I don’t understand why people think that every person should have to get them when they don’t even consider natural immunity.
take offense at your advertisement's speciest selection criteria. Corporations, legal persons by law, are free to apply while other entities such as aquatic mammals are not. Harummmph!
Nonetheless, thanks for the OT even if I am way late to the party today. Truly massive amounts or personal business + slept in + coopers' hawk in the orange tree required mucho observation until he finally moved on. Weather stays stuck on mid thirties to low forties as a low, most of the am, to low sixties high later. Sux, even though it is far warmer than elsewhere they say. My parsley seems to like it, however, damn thing is over 2 feet in diameter by about 3 feet high and amazingly bushy. Looks like a lot of persillade will be in the offing.
