And UGH -- I hate it when I can't sleep.<br /><br />Ultimately it is up to the voters to see through Republican malfeasance. If we're incapable of that -- and many appear to be -- then sadly, we're getting the government we deserve. Admittedly Republicans have also sneakily managed to engineer the system to their benefit, i.e. through manipulating voter laws, but the people have to be able to see through their shenanigans and take action at the ballot box.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-46684719745377158342021-09-30T08:56:10.296-05:002021-09-30T08:56:10.296-05:00Politics is making me crazy too - so depressing.

There's one down at the Brazoria refuge, but it looks like it took quite a hit in the freeze. It has a little growth on it, though. We haven't gotten nearly the rain that was predicted. It stopped today by about 10 in the morning, and stayed dry. I won't complain, because it allowed me to get a pretty good day of work in, but I wouldn't mind if we got more rain. Like you, we need it.<br /><br />I don't usually remember my dreams, but I had a weird one a couple of nights ago. I dreamed that I was asleep, and dreaming. It was like picture-in-picture: a dream within a dream. So strange. I don't usually have trouble sleeping, but I stayed awake for a while after that one -- mostly because I was trying to figure it out.shoreacreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16284698314697628805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-53050772556913842152021-09-29T17:31:32.516-05:002021-09-29T17:31:32.516-05:00I'm so sorry that you experience insomnia.

And speaking of bummers, the times we're living in scare me all the way to my rickety old bones. I cannot believe this is actually going on right before my eyes. I can't handle any of this. <br />Four inches of rain in twelve hours is pretty wild!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-74202993053912623502021-09-29T17:13:07.350-05:002021-09-29T17:13:07.350-05:00What with the poor sleep and all, it's a bit d...What with the poor sleep and all, it's a bit downish today.
