[Peaceful Rainbow]

This morning I did Cardio and Weights combos and Live Built to Burn Upper Body.

Judy I hope you didn’t have any damage or lose power from the storm yesterday. At one point, I saw 500,000 people with no power in Michigan and the videos of damage are horrible. We had no issues at our house but people not far from us did.

judy we have a problem because fireworks are sold here by the tribes. Tribes run the casinos/hotels and assorted gambling and entertainment ventures. money talks. the tribes sell all the fireworks. they have a HUGE impact on state politics and massively deep pockets. they are pretty much untouchable. supposedly only safe and legal and supposedly not taken off the res. what a joke! you can call and report it but the law is so widely and blatantly broken that its laughable. we've been hearing booms for weeks already and will hear them long after the 4th a lot of communities have outlawed them but enforcement is another matter entirely. some towns do well, others dont even try. if it were for one night I would not complain but its not. and the explosives keep getting louder. it really is obnoxious. it looks like the weather will reduce the risk here because its been cool and damp so its not a tinderbox here.

last night ( friday nite) was terrible people were still shooting off bombs at 3 am and it had been consistent from evening on thru the nite. if its next door thats one thing. if its further away you need to get up get dressed and drive around to see where the noise is coming from. then call the back up 911 number and hope someone has time to go patrol the area and ticket the offenders.

we will be fine just angry, and then there will be weeks of people trying to retrieve their pet and livestock who got scared and ran. same old same old.
