Britain Kicks the EU to the Curb

  Yesterday Britain had a vote on whether to stay in the EU or not.  The EU lost and Britain took back the their country.  Over the years of belonging to the EU, Britain and many other countries have given up much of the control of their own countries to mainland European power brokers.
  These  control freaks have put restrictions on vacuum cleaners in Britain and want to restrict toasters, hair dryers, crooked bananas, (really) and tea bags.
  I am not going into detail about these, they can be googled.  The thing is power and control.
  Joining the EU meant that countries gave up running a portion of their country and agreed to follow laws and restrictions  from the leaders of the EU.
On my blogs I even got a notice saying I was supposed to provide cookie information according to EU rules.
  To be crude about it, fuck them.  They can go to hell.  If anyone comes to my pages and comments, fine.  If they don't fine.  I track no one for any reason.  If the internet powers that be require cookies then it is their problem, not mine.  They can kiss the EU ass, I will not.
  My posts are not normally crude, but I made an exception this time.  If you are offended I apologize.  Go somewhere else.

Getting Older Kinda Sucks Sometimes

  I am 66 now and never thought I would get to be this age.
Over the last few years I have noticed certain things I like to do that are not so good for me anymore, or easy!
  I went camping last week.  By the second day the heat had about done me in and I went home.  I got in one early morning 2 mile hike and that was all.
Last summer I was going to drive to the Guadalupe Mountains to camp and hike.  I found the drive was way too much for me and never made it.  I was pretty upset because I love that area.
I guess getting older is something we all have to deal with.  It is difficult to convince our minds that we cannot do some things.
 I came back from Afghanistan in a coma in 2010, recovered, got a pacemaker/defibulator for my birthday a week later and have been trying to get myself back.  Finally I think I realize there is no going back and I just have to accept some things.
Still sucks though.
