After a year and a half, Bob’s back to his projects, and quite early, too. I got up at seven when it was still a little dark. I saw the SUV pulled outside the garage and the garage all lit up.

I didn’t hear anything while I took my meds and waited a half-hour for my coffee. Right before eight, I heard some sawing. Because I’ve gotten to know and like them and know their habits and that they don’t do this every day, I didn’t mind. Besides, I have to have sound machines on during the daytime because of all the landscaping and traffic noise anyway. I was going to order Alexa to launch my white noise right around 8:00 as it was.

Not as much landscaping noise today, though, from what I could tell when I was in the “quiet” spots of the house, going from room to room. The only annoyance right now is in the sky. Yeah, we’re playing plane circles now. I still don’t get what that’s about. Training pilots? Surveillance?

On the way out yesterday, I saw the mutt that lives at the house with the kids wandering loose. Oh, the rules people break around here. Haven’t seen the kids in some time now, but I haven’t been to the other side of the circle in a while. I’m just amazed that no one’s ratted on them. As long as it doesn’t affect me directly, I don’t say anything. Unfortunately, the only things that do affect me directly are allowed.

So is my dentist a hater? Miss Curious whom some might call Miss Nosy did some more info-diving on her and found an account of hers on Facebook that never came up before in the search results. She’s pro-life and pro-religious freedom. Does that mean she hates gays, too? The difference between liberals like myself who are pro-choice is usually that we don’t have a problem with those who want to keep their babies. Pro-lifers want everyone to be just like them. Same with those claiming they want religious freedom. What they really want is religious domination.

Because she hasn’t harmed me personally, I don’t care what she believes/wants. I’m just curious by nature as to what makes some people the way they are. It’s hard to believe someone so nice and friendly could hate gays and be anti-equality/women’s rights, but anything is possible. I was always surprised, after all, that she’s never had any black employees. Besides, we’re all haters of something/someone. I’m just one of the few that’s willing to admit it.

If she is a hater, she must have “hated” her daughter living in San Francisco and Spain, both liberal places. The daughter, Mikaela, is beautiful and feminine, though. She’s definitely no lez. Remember, I’m the only one this feminine who likes women. rolls eyes Funny how she left her mom a positive review on Yelp in regards to some women they apparently had problems with that they had to call the cops on.

Makes me wonder about Kathleen, too. Anything could be running through her mind. If she suddenly knew I was raised in a Jewish household, attracted to women (some of them), hated blacks and Muslims (most of them), and was agnostic and pro-choice… would I still be so “cute?”

Tom says people are becoming less politically correct, but I disagree. I think the hate crimes are up because of Trump, but that doesn’t mean that people are any more accepting of hate. The Muslim that got shot in Washington generated “international sympathy,” though I never read the actual article. I don’t read much of the news. Too depressing.

When you think about it, though, someone can be all smiles and kindness and professional as ever yet still be a hater. I’m sure they would be surprised if someone told them I didn’t care for blacks and Muslims.

Either way, I no longer think she’s the one following me on Pinterest because the young woman in the profile picture doesn’t look like her daughter.
