Fruit salad and emergency

Hopefully, before the emergency, I would be able to enjoy this fruit salad with kiwi, cherries, oranges, pineapple, plum, and granola bars. It was really delicious 😋.

Emergencies happen quickly. Thank God we don’t have tornadoes, earthquakes, or psnomies, hurricanes, or other bad weather events here in Southern Arizona. Yet, we get flooding with the monsoons. This monsoon period is nothing compared to other years. I remember monsoons that killed people because they entered a tunnel with their car, and the tunnel had flooded. Their car had submerged in the water. It was really sad. So I know never enter a tunnel when it rains here, unless I want to die.

If I am stuck in a flood and I am in my car. It is raining hard.I pull over because eventually the storm will pass. Hopefully, I am not in a place that will flood the car. Thank heavens that has never happened. If I am at home and it is raining. I call it a night and sleep until the storm passes. Snow storms here hardly stick, maybe one time it stuck, but not that long because it is so hot here. So we really don’t have blizzards here. But, if anything and I need to get out of my apartment quickly. I have a change of clothes in a suitcase, if necessary. Usually, the weather here is mellow.

The heat is a problem here. So when it is very hot. I stay indoors and crank the AC and fans. If I have to leave during the day. I put on sunscreen, and I drive, so I am out of the sun. I crank the AC in the car, too! Usually, if it is hot, i wait until evening. By then, it has cooled off. I usually do doordash in the evening.

Hopefully, there will never be tornadoes here because I would have to go inside the bathtub and sit in there until it passes. Hopefully, no emergencies happen here, but if they do. I got it covered somehow. Thank you for reading.

A lesson- and clingy

A lesson I learned the hard way that has shaped the person I am today is this injury of being shot in the head. I have learned not to trust just anybody, especially with my life. If they want to do dangerous things just let them do them, without me being present because I already got shot in the head and have a disability. I walk with a gimp. My left arm doesn’t work right. I don’t need to be more disabled. I use abstract thinking which asks the question, what if, which is important because this will save my life. What if, we get caught by the police, what if one of us ends up  more hurt or dead. So it is an important question to ask. If I want to live or stay out of trouble. This will save me from following someone into trouble. Now, I am past this stage. I just run from people that want me to do bad things. I am really disabled so I don’t think they would want me tagging along, which is good because I would like to keep out of trouble and be my own man and do what I want to do, which is not get into trouble.

A word people use a lot is clingy, which can be bad if that person is always around and the other person doesn’t want them around, but if the person doesn’t mind them around then it is a good thing. Clingy is only bad when the person is always around and never leaves. Then, you have a reason to get mad. When, the clingy person becomes furniture that is when the problem emerges, but it depends on the person who the clingy person is clinging onto. If they are all right with them no problem at all.

Blog knowledge

I hope my blogs of salads and fruit salads will give other people out there, a reason to replicate the salads they see on my blog because if they want to slim down, there is nothing like a good salad.

Plus, being shot in the head, doesn’t mean I stop living, it just means I have a minor set back. I do have to put more effort into the things I do, but it is all right. I guess I survived for a reason and my passion is music. I like playing drums, shakers, writing, and singing. It is all fun. So I hope people get that I am shot in the head and I still do things that keep me alive and wanting to do more of what I need to do, to stay alive which is music. Thank you for reading.

Lottery! I would love to win!

A Maryland man won $50,000 because his friend urged him to play a game called a fast play double win game. He only put in $5, now that’s luck.

I have been playing the lottery for years. I never won. The most I won was $11, which I gave to my sister, but I would love to win the lottery one of these days. Thank you for reading. I guess that is everyone’s dream.

My heart is broken,

We have lost some really good actors and musicians this week. It has tugged on my heart. I can’t believe who we have lost just this week. Ozzy Osbourne, Hulk Hogan, Malcolm Jamel Warner, plus Chuck Mangione. They were all great at what they did. It is just all of a sudden and this happened. Death follows people. You never know when it could be your last day on earth.

I mean Ozzy Osbourne played his last concert before he retired and all of a sudden he died. Parkinson took his life. He was 76.

Hulk Hogan was only 71 and he had cardiac arrest, that really does make me feel bad because he could have lived a little longer. If the doctors monitored what he was doing, but on the other hand. When it was his time to die. Death came  for him.

Malcolm Jamel Warner’s death was an accident. He wasn’t supposed to die, but he got sucked into a wave and died tragically. He was 54.

Chuck Mangione died of natural causes at 84 in his sleep, but too much death in such a short time is hard to handle, especially for their families and friends. My heart goes out to them.  I am in shock right now, but life goes on. It is overwhelming, but hopefully they can find peace in knowing their loved ones are with God now and Jesus Christ. Take care of yourself my friends and good night and thank you for reading.

Beef is the new eggs in the US

https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/21/business/beef-prices-record-high

First it was eggs that went up in price. Now it is beef. Thank goodness I don’t buy beef on a regular basis because it would cost me a lot of money.

So the Tariffs on items like beef and eggs and just about any grocery item I would like to change. Just make the items more affordable, before Trump got tariff happy. It doesn’t affect Trump because he is worth 5 billion dollars, but for the regular man and woman it is a big deal. Hopefully, produce doesn’t start going up in price. Then, I will have a real problem. Thank you for reading. Happy Tuesday!

Birria taco and an Outlaw Beer!

My sister surprised me with a Birria taco, an Outlaw beer, and a salad from Salad and go. This is before I went out and retrieved something to eat. Now I am satisfied in the food department. Now I can go to sleep in a while. I will get a better sleep because of the beer, and the Birria taco was very delicious, everything was tip top. Thank you for reading.

Please let go for God’s sake:

President Trump said, the tariffs will go into effect in August, if countries such as Vietnam, China, and the UK don’t call and make a deal with the United States. He sent out letters to the countries. Hopefully, we can have a comforting amount of tariffs, so not everything goes up in price. So please for the love of God make the tariffs go away for the sake of harmony. Especially, the Chinese one because we import so much from China. I know Trump wants to bring companies back to the United States, but it is impracticable because certain things can only be made in certain countries. So, the tariffs have to go so everything won’t go so high in price that we cannot afford the things anymore. So please tariffs go away. Thank you for reading.
