Begging-Rwanda

Begging

Rwanda

October 2024

For the most part, I didn't see a lot of begging here which was nice not to have to deal with that uncomfortable situation. But we drove up to the outdoor market in our expensive, shiny jeep. And everyone saw us. We stuck out. We got out of the vehicle and wandered through the market, minding our own business. When we came back, several people were waiting for us, of course.  They knew we would eventually come back and so they waited. even though we were asked not to give to the beggars, one woman got sucked in and gave her a few USA$$.

 

Leffe Brewery- Belgium

Leffe Brewery

Brussels, Belgium

October 2024

I've had a six pack of their blonde ale, years ago and I love it. It's so full of flavor. But I never buy it when I see it. I mostly buy IPAs. But I was on my way home from a trip from Rwanda and had a layover at the airport. After two weeks in Africa, I was looking forward to having a robust beer. I had a few beers in mind but I looked right by my gate and here was the Leffe Brewery. I was excited to see it and took it as a sign from the beer gods. I had just left my tour guide who was wonderful and during the course of the trip, he told me that Leffe was his favorite beer. And here was a whole bar dedicated to this delicious beer. He sent me this brewery. What a great trip home.

• The democrats own this loss. Almost 20 million fewer Dems showed up for this election than in the election is 2020. I think too many of them were mad about Biden's handling fo the Israel/Gaza crisis and they decided not to vote as a form of protest. Fuck them. If they had shown up, this race would have been the landslide for Harris. The orange idiot had 2 million fewer voters than in 2020.  He is losing his base.
• OMG, did she step up to the plat and give is her all.  She was an outstanding candidate,
• When Biden stepped down, I was so damn disappointed and angry.
• Her support was so strong that she raised over one billion $$$$$. That is a shitload of money.
• She picked the perfect running mate, Tim Walz, the Governor of Minnesota. He was the quintessential white man. He is a hunter. He owns a gun. He lives in real America. He's married with children. I assume he is christian.
• She had some great potential policies to help middle income American.
• She was pro-choice which is my #1 issue.  Women deserve body autonomy.
• The DNC Conference was electrifying and boosted everyone's energy and hope.  I could have listened to these speeches every night. They filled me with hope.
• I was a poll watcher for her at District #4 in West Chester County, PA
• A polling site near me had a bomb threat around 7:30 PM and people were told to quickly find some other place to cast provisional vote. What a selfish asshole. I hate people some times.
• A group of us in my apartment bldg sent out GOTV postcards to reluctant voters.
• Dev and her daughter, Sophia, handed out Harris posters on Gay street. Two different colleges students indicated that they were a little afraid to carry the poster through town as someone might confront the,
