After attending the Largo protest, we stopped at a local diner for breakfast. Both overhead televisions were playing the Faux News protest coverage. There was a grumpy old codger earnestly assuring his waitress that the protesters were being paid to attend. I cracked up, and my companion commented that he hoped a check was in the mail to cover our meal. Not holding our collective breath.

Hell, I’m still waiting for my $3600 payment card for food allowance for Medicare recipients. With that money coming in from Soros, I’ll be set.

Woke up in Seattle, hit Portland, Eureka, San Francisco, San Louis Obisbo, Santa Barbara, Oxnard, Los Angeles, Irvine, Oceanside, and San Diego. At the 100k check per city from Soros, 1.1 million less the 100k for the Lear Jet costs, cleared ONE MILLION DOLLARS!

Taking the rest of the year off.
