Meanderings

Taking daughter to get her eyes checked today.  Age and diabetes can affect vision subtly and she has mentioned a change in hers.  Would that her boyfriend would get a damn job and help with these expenses.  Sigh.....
It's been thundering this morning.  Looks like a gray day.  I slept in an extra 45 minutes this morning.  Even the cat didn't insist I get up.
Daughter brought the little one up yesterday afternoon and we played with her outside for a bit before coming in from the heat.  Sprout interacts with me more now which can be fun.  She even let me help her put her shoes on.  Daughter is coming along nicely with her knitting.  I asked her to crochet me another soap sock as I need one for the downstairs bath.
Got the tag for the "new" van.  Didn't cost much since the ad valorem tax was included in the purchase price (I reckon).  Gonna get a regular tag for my van when the time comes since the governor changed the rules regarding vanity tags.  At first you only had to pay extra the on time.  Now it's every year.  Sooooo, although the state won't lose much from me, it will lose that income.  I'd be willing to bet that if everyone reverted to regular tags, well.........
Y'all have an interesting day and remember:  every government interference in the economy consists of giving an unearned benefit, extorted by force, to someone at the expense of others.
