Masha and the Bear (Russian animated, in English) marathon on youtube today. Who says tv isn't a babysitter? One of the few kids shows that doesn't drive me nuts. Being Russian, there is zero woke ****, too. Wouldn't brag about their government but good at animations.

Audrey got a bit political this morning, said she can't stand the thought of her kids (other than the oldest, Ex has a say about him) in MN public schools, even though when the youngest hits grade school, she'll be looking at $50K a year. I said I expect Texas will be getting some Minnesotans, too. Said she and husband are working on that. I sure as hell ain't staying here by myself. Should think about how I can downsize till everything will fit in that 16' cargo trailer. Probably wishful thinking, would be near or past 80 before it would happen anyway, if it does.

MN is the next best thing to California in liberal policies, even exceeds in a couple areas. Trying to get some tough gun laws against legal gun owners currently. I expect them to pass, and won't pay any attention to them as usual.

Had a set of Firestones decades ago that still looked brand new at failure point. Didn't even have a tank of gas on them.
