I played pickleball today.
1 - It is such a good social event for me that playing is worth what I need to do to make it happen. I'm less concerned about making the Olympic team than I was and mostly just want to have fun. I was welcomed back and enjoyed it. Making do without a decent pool volleyball game to attend.
2 - My hip is sore as is my knee. We will see in the next day or so just how sore. I've got dogs to walk tomorrow and they come first.
3 - Getting it replaced seems dumb but not beyond the realm of possibility.
4 - My annual pass to the Georgetown Tennis courts comes up for renewal so I need to decide if I'm going to continue or not.
Meanwhile, back at the election. I've not seen the numbers of how many repubs voted but Texas again lurched to the right with vendetta politics. The gov, LT gov and state DA all had their knives out and their opponents fell. Which means Texas will lead the nation in school vouchers by next year and the gov will ram every other right wingnut bullshit agenda item down the throats of the republic that loves him so much.
The money divide in Texas will increasingly skew white, theocratic, and the select few as those with money go to the plethora of private religious schools mushrooming all around us.
It is a long term answer to the state becoming increasingly, overwhelmingly hispanic.
None of this much effects me. Offensive, yes, but not really effecting me. It is hard to watch, though.
