Adrienne has decided to run for Ulster County Legislature for District 13 ( hamlet of Wallkill) with the backing of the local Democratic syndicate.

I just volunteered to help her with social media.

I’m not entirely sure she’ll take me up on it: Adrienne is 75 years old & not entirely convinced of the utility of social media.

But honestly? She should take me up on it: I am actually talented at creating quasi-personalized relationships over the ether, & that mock personalization has drawing power, which can be useful, particularly in an election that can probably be won by 500 votes.

True, Adrienne is running as a Democrat, & I am not a fan of the Democratic Party. But the Democratic Party at present is the only opposition we’ve got, & so, the only opportunity I have to channel my anger & frustration into something positive.

My current social media strategy: I am hoping Big Balls—who right now is carrying out President Elon Musk’s directions to dismantle the IRS—emails every taxpayer but CCs instead of BCCs all 138 million of us, so I can REPLY-ALL: Vote for Adrienne!

In other news: Yesterday’s snowstorm only dropped a couple of inches of the Hideous White Stuff, but then there were hours of sleet & freezing rain, so now, Albany Post Road looks like somebody polished it—black ice!

Temps today are supposed to get into the 40°s—which should turn the glacier encasing the driveway into a sea—which should make it easy to salinize so it won’t refreeze with the 50 pounds of rock salt I went out & bought yesterday.

Of course, all that salt will be very bad for the driveway, but hey! ain’t my property!

I spent yesterday Remunerating & also making headway on my life’s work—namely, watching all 618 episodes of Law & Order.

Life is good, Allah!

I was wondering how you made out. We got more, and then the sleet and freezing rain and rain--it was HARD to move, and I was carrying on mental conversations with you, urging you to get Icky to pay YOU as a caretaker, damn it.

but barring that, I hope the rock salt pits his driveway BUT GOOD.

... re: the other thing, you'll/you'd be an excellent social media person!

Yay, social media manager!

And yeah, it's a frozen, windy wasteland here today.

Glad life is good!

If Adrienne is wise, she'll take you up on it. You'd be superb.
