I wanted to write about my efforts to join the February 28 boycott. I did, mostly. We did patronize two restaurants but both have been locally owned for many decades. As far as I know, that did not violate the boycott.

But something else “Trumped” my original post. We are in East Lansing, home of Michigan State University or MooU, if you will. We are here for the annual Quiet Adventure Symposium to run a booth for our North Country Trail Association chapter, the Hiawatha Shore-to-Shore. A big part of our participation involves the GG putting together a big display rack or whatever you want to call it that he designed with PVC pipes a number of years ago.

I am not good at helping the GG with projects like this because he is a natural engineer and all of the blueprints are in his head. There are a couple of our NCT friends who manage to be helpful. It’s best if I stay out of the fray. And so I did. I hung out in Moooon Yoooonit, finishing word puzzles, reading, and, ulp, checking up on social media. Which turned out to be a bad thing…

I forced myself to watch the video clip of Zelenskyy, Trump, and Vance. I don’t have any intelligible words except I am totally appalled at how our countries “leaders” treated the president of a war-torn country beleaguered by a dictator. Again, why did we elect this elderly toddler to be our president? Oh yeah, it was the “economy”, right? I know I said that the other day. I know that Trump won the election fair and square, at least in terms of votes. So why do I feel like my vote was worthless and my voice was lost in the MAGA cacophony? And how is the “economy” going for you? Grocery prices went down immediately after he took office, right?

For tonight you get an old pic of the Ukraine-colored tights I bought from Snag tights at the beginning of the war. Snag makes fantastic tights, google them.
