The Marching Morons

mallorys_cameraJust to document how truly awful the citizenry of Wallkill hamlet are...
There is a FB group that everyone in Wallkill reads. I started reading it when Molly Cat decamped last September in case somebody found her.
In addition to lost pet notices, the group is filled with postings like: A strange man was walking down the street & stopped for THREE WHOLE SECONDS in front of my house! I dialed 911!
Yesterday, somebody posted this to the group:
Now it happens the Wallkill postal service is very bad, and that is because all mail to Wallkill is now routed out of Newburgh, which is not even in the same county as Wallkill.
In an effort to be helpful, I posted a link to an article that explained this:
And got the following reply:
WHAT the fucking fuck?
Did I mention Trump? Did the original poster mention Trump?
These Trump cultists are fucking morons.
It is utterly depressing to live in close proximity to them.
If I had a stronger personality, I could just ignore them.
But, you know. I'm porous.

In other news, I spent yesterday finishing off six tax returns for friends & family, going to the gym, fielding texts from Sue, and feeling stressed.
I would very much like the fabulous New Paltz house to work out, but there is no way I can jump on it in April despite Sue's feverish promptings, & that's just the way it is.
I will say this for Sue: She has an uncanny ability to read my mind despite never having met me in person, so just at the point where I was wondering, Hmmmm. Finding a new place to live or assisted suicide? Which is the better option?, she texted, Are you sick of all this yet?
Not sick, I texted back. But definitely overwhelmed.
Really, all I want to do is curl up in bed with the kiskas and two pounds of hazelnut truffles and watch endless episodes of The Empress, the German TV show about Empress Elisabeth of Austria.
But that ain't happening any time soon.

Shortly, I must scamper off to TaxBwana.
It dawns on me that Elon Musk is very likely to cut the grant that funds TaxBwana. We tax preparers are all volunteers, but there is an IRS grant that pays for our Chromebooks & the software we use.

I'm sorry you're having to deal with another move...but, P, it sure makes sense.

I am grateful for your Tax Bwana-ship.
