Tuesday Roundup

 San Francisco is starting a pilot program to pay violent criminals $300 a month to not shoot anyone. There may actually be a more stupid waste of taxpayer money to be found, but I haven't heard about it yet. What does this mean for residents of San Francisco?  Folks, don't carry more than $300 in cash. If you have $400 and the city will only pay $300, you're dead. I think that they need to institute drug tests for the San Francisco City Council. This is more than the average level of governmental stupidity.

I spent the last five days in scenic Hillsville, Virginia selling my assortment of fine collectibles at the Labor Day Weekend Flea Market. The weather was great, business was good. COVID may have affected attendance and the number of vendors but it was still a great time.

At Hillsville, the old guy across from me was selling all kinds of metal items. He was trying to sell some guy a bell and rang it a couple of times. He told the buyer, "Did you hear that great tone? That bell is so loud that you could wake Biden with it." There aren't many liberals in Southwest Virginia.

Just saw a news report about Biden being heckled in New Jersey today. The real stunner is not that it happened, but that the media actually reported on it. 

I love spotting the American Pickers fans in the flea market crowd  They ask you, "How much is something like this?" My response is always "Do you want something like that or do you want that?" 

The NFL starts their regular season this week. WOW!! Another sport not to watch on television. I am already busy not watching NASCAR. I am just now recovering from not watching the 2020 Olympics that were held in 2021. 

I saw a press conference  today where a reporter asked Ron DeSantis about the last Super Bowl. He said that it didn't make much sense for the NFL to limit live attendance in Tampa to 25,000 people as a COVID precaution. He pointed out that after the game, the 25,000 attendees exited the stadium into a crowd of 100,000 people outside the stadium. 

Biden announced today that every American still in Afghanistan will receive a mail-in ballot for any elections this fall.
