Any Disturbance In The Force Gets Stronger With Each Generation

 So, The Young Prince safely made it to Phoenix and his Dad picked him up at the Airport, but he wasn't staying at their House.  His dad finally did Marry, this is his 1st Marriage even tho' he has Three Kids by Two Long Term Relationships where he never Married, and a Gal that I think is Younger than our Grandson!!!  So, I don't know how my Grandson feels about a Stepmom Younger than he is?  *LOL*  Bobby doesn't look his Age at all, but, he is 44 and so this Gal is probably only half his Age or thereabouts?  We've not met her or seen any Pixs yet, but, he has a Grown Son whose 25, a Teen Son whose 13, and then a Daughter whose about 7-8 now.  I always forget the Ages of most of the Grands and the Great-Grands until I look at a Calendar to refresh Memory, so many of them to try to remember Dates/Ages of!  *LOL*

Anyway, he never did ask to be picked up last Night since he went Clubbing and then this Morning said he's attending the Gay Pride Fest Downtown, which is being held in conjunction with the No Kings Rally, since, the Pride Fest was Scheduled way beforehand.  It's good it will be combined, will make more of a Statement and even more of a Party Vibe Atmosphere while standing up for Human Rights in Peaceful Protest en mass, drawing even bigger Crowds.  *Winks this Administration is so fearful of it all they're putting an Anti-American Spin on it, they're so pathetic and desperate!*  They know the Numbers are Swelling while his Approval Ratings are tanking to low 30 Percentiles of which no Prez in History has fallen this low during the Honeymoon Period after an Election!  So, it can only drop further after the Honeymoon is over.  And you know how he is SO Thirsty to be Liked and have Crowd Size?!  Exaggerating his Crowd Size all the time and Obsessed about Crowd Size! *LOL*

Me thinks that being Light in the Pants has had some serious Psychological Effects with that guy, so he tries to overcompensate like  Men tend to do and brag about shit that he doesn't really have going on. *Winks*  With Old Dudes it's usually by Buying that Midlife Crisis Car or with Young or Old Men alike, to make up for Small Body Parts, but, since Donnie Two Dolls doesn't drive, well, he Fixates instead of bragging and exaggerating how Large his Crowds are.  Coz he can't say that about other things which will remain unmentioned and aren't Large... or so Porn Star Stormy Daniels said and she would know.  *Smiles* For such a large guy, he's 6'3", I did always think, what Small disproportionate Hands he has, and then my Mind instantly went to what else that indicates as a Rule and Women know!!!  *Winks*  My Brother is 6'4" and most of my Uncles and my Dad were 6'2" to 6'7", nobody had such Tiny Hands as Donnie Two Dolls, it looks Strange on a very large Person to have Tiny Little Hands, it stands out.

Okay, Moving On, I just told my Grandson to be Safe Downtown during his Peaceful Protest, pretty sure he brought something Fabulous to Wear, or NOT Wear, since, he's boldly Uninhibited and Proud.  *Smiles*  I asked if he'd be wearing the "Pride + No Kings" T-Shirt my Blog Friend Maddie Gifted he and Allen with?  He said he won't be wearing a Shirt... shouldda known, he'll be wearing the least amount of Clothing he can  without getting Arrested.  *Bwahahahaha*  I know that Kid, he was Brave enuf to be Openly Trans when he was 12 in Public and it got him jumped by Homophobes who were grown Men when he wasn't even a Teenager yet and beaten up.  He's Fearless, and so I do worry about his Safety since America has gotten Uglier, Darker and more Violent towards Targeted Groups of this Regime.  And the MAGA Base of Extremist leaning folks and the Violent & Cruel Fundamentalist Religious ones who erroneously think they're doing God's Work by being Hate filled Ugly Acting & Unlovely Behaving Humans.    It's NOT Bearing Good Witness for The Lord.

I saw an Old scary looking White Biker Guy the other Day while eating Breakfast at "First Watch", covered with White Nationalist Tattoos and a Shaved Head, wearing a T-Shirt that had a big American Flag and said, "This is our Fucking Country".  Well, Two Older Indigenous Women were sitting at the next Table and I saw them look over, Read his Shirt like I had, and roll their Eyes, then talk between themselves in their Language. And I knew EXACTLY what they were Thinking, coz I was Thinking the EXACT same thing, and what they were quietly Saying between themselves.   They could get by with legitimately Wearing a Shirt like that in actuality to make a Truer Statement.  But, they weren't, they were Acting like decent Normal People in Public, not trying to start anything, or offend anyone else who also lives in America.  That Guy is what is Wrong, he assumes he personally, and only anyone who looks like him, Owns the Country.  He doesn't.

Princess T was Mental this Morning about her Hair and being overly Dramatic, I couldn't wait to drop her Ass off at Work and get her out of my Truck!  *LOL*  She was claiming she was gonna rip her Hair out and angrily pulling at it, like that would somehow make it look better?  She had it up with a Hair Clip in like a Ponytail with some shorter Hair framing her Face, it looked just Fine, but, she didn't think it would look Fabulous enuf and Yesterday she'd gotten loads of compliments on how Pretty she looked, and Today she felt Ugly.  OMG, well, she HAD done her Hair fancy for Yesterday and hadn't Today coz she'd spent the Night at her Boyfriends and had Bedhead when she rolled in at 5:00 a.m. as he drops her off on his way to Work, so, she only had an Hour of Sleeping here and then an Hour to get ready and GET TO Work, whaddya expect?  Young People!   The histrionics were Oscar worthy I tell ya!   And the Oscar worthy Performance goes to... *Winks*

Her Room was Wrecked, as it tends to get when she's being Bipolar and Mental as fuck!  Eli was looking at me like, "I know!!!"  *Bwahahahaha*  Yeah, even her Psychotic Cat knows when she's gone Round the Bend and he is looking relieved when she's outta here.  *Ha ha ha*  I pitied Rusty, her Boyfriend, that Young Man is Earning his Sainthood, the Catholic Church will soon have Statuaries of him, Saint Rusty, pretty Sure.  *LOL*  Anyway, he's sticking with her, so, he's definitely Earning that Sainthood lemme tell ya!  She'll be Fine and settle down at Work once everyone convinces her she still looks Pretty.  *Smiles*  On her worst Day she still looks just Fine, but she's definitely a Type A Personality about Appearance.   Her Mama is like that too, so the Apple didn't fall far from the Tree.  "Pulling One's Hair Out seems a bit Intense... but, do whatever you Feel is Right GF, I ain't gonna try to Stop ya..." *Winks*  She gave me the Silent Stink Eye when I responded like that.  I'm SURE patches of Bald Spot weren't gonna look Better?  *Smiles*  But, there are no Appropriate Responses, so, there ya go...

Even when Institutionalized in either Mental Health or Penal Institutions in both America and Mexico, The Daughter insisted on having the nicest looking Hospital Gowns or Prison Attire or she would refuse to Dress and just be Naked.  So, they'd oblige and no Faded Garments for her, and everything had to be clean, pressed and not mismatched or she'd throw a complete Wobbler.  *Bwahahahaha*   If you've ever seen one of those you know why it was just easier to ensure she had the attire that would be to her satisfaction, coz you ain't Winning that Battle.   Choose your Battles wisely or you're in for the Fight of your very Life!!  And... you have to be measured, is it worth it?!   What Hill are you willing to Die on?  Coz she's definitely willing to Die on hers... and probably take you with her!!!   *Winks*  So, anyway, when I told her that her Child went Mental about having a Bad Hair Day, she Laughed heartily.  And claimed, "She has bigger Meltdowns than even ME, huh?"   Indeed.  Any Disturbance in The Force gets Stronger with each Generation it seems.  *LOL*

And Jesus, Joseph, Mary and all The Saints, it gets no easier to Moderate or Mitigate once someone is on Board the Crazy Train.  That's why Dealing with this Mental Administration is beyond the Layman's Bandwidth, quite frankly.  You cannot Reason with Crazy... there is no Talking Reason Out Of something that took no Reason to Get Into.  And if you put someone Crazy in Charge, with no Guard Rails in place, expect Crazy Shit to happen that will go Wheels Off Rails completely, why would you expect anything otherwise and different?   I'm not Surprised, Nope, not by ANY of it, Horrified, Yes, it's Terrifying how Bad it could get and probably will get, but, Surprised, Nope, not at all.  I had the correct Expectations when a Sociopath/Psychopath Leader coupled with serious Age related Cognitive Decline impairment, is installed and all Guard Rails were then removed for 2.0.   Fun Times were gonna happen.

Then when The Insane Clown Posse was installed in ALL high levels of Government to enable the Ringmaster of the Shitshow, and Perform for an Audience of One, we were definitely all Screwed.   And, are we having Fun yet?  Asking for a Friend.  *Eye Roll*  Listen, I been Dealing with Bat Shit Crazy for a very long time, I ain't Right myself, and so it's Rare that Crazy folks can Pass for a Neurotypical and Fly Under my Radar.  Even the Higher Functional ones, and Donnie Two Dolls mos def ain't Higher Functional by any stretch of the Imagination, he been Openly Crazy a very long time my Friends, at least from my Observations since the early 1970's.   His first known Legal Troubles date back to 1973... he's been involved in over 4,000 Legal Cases.  That's a LOT, I can't recall any Defendant having that many Cases and I seen some Serious Organized Crime Syndicate Boss Defendants in my day.   I mean even John Gotti was only Convicted on 13 Counts... Donnie had 34 by comparison just on the most recent Cases he Caught.  And he's still an Elected President!  Go figure... it is Insane in the Membrane, as Cypress Hill would say!!!

But we're getting Used to Crazy now aren't we?  Behavior Tolerated being Behavior Accepted.   I got Irrigation active right now and so we had to be Home.  So, I couldn't attend our "No Kings Rally" coz it will be Over by the time our Irrigation Cycle is a Wrap, we don't get to pick our Rotation Schedule, it comes when it comes and SRP sets it to be Received.  And our Neighbors who get theirs before us Opted Out for this Rotation coz they don't have a lot of Grass and it was still too saturated from the huge dump of Rain the Storms hit us with to absorb more without Flooding.  Their Ground couldn't hold more, ours can coz we have a huge expanse of Grass and Pasture on our Property.   We're getting a really good Head of Water this Rotation too, it's Strong.

I was gonna go do Environmental Cleanup Today but after having Worked last Night I just felt like doing Nothing instead and Resting up.  I know my concern about my Ear and what all that will entail has me feeling edgy.  I don't want or need any Down Time but I may have to have some until we figure out what I'm Dealing with and how best to confront it?  Not looking forward to the possibilities if it is something Serious, which, it's looking like it could be?  Anyway, Mando's Tia made us some Tamales but they're not Cooked so I'm Steaming them right now, she gave us a lot of them, LOVE Homemade Tamales done with Traditional Family Recipes handed down from Generation to Generation.  Hers look moist and are smaller, those are usually the best, good ratio of Masa to Filling, not sure what Filling they are or if it's mixed Content from Tamale to Tamale, may be all one kind or not.  He doesn't know, he just went to her House to do some Work for her and she sent him back with Freshly made uncooked Tamales she'd just done this Morning.

 

The Daughter's Best Friend in Mexico just sent her the Pixs Below of his newly Restored Ride, he does all the Work himself... that's one seriously Gangsta Ride, LOVE it!!!   You'd feel like Bonnie & Clyde taking that on the Road. He has a Passion for Historic Vehicles, buys them rough and fixes them up as his Hobby.   Looks to be a 40-46 Chevy Truck to me.   He verified it's a 46 Chevy, so I was spot on just wasn't sure of the exact Year.   The Daughter said he often Sells them after he gets them Restored.  The Thrill for him is bringing them back to Life.  It's a Talent to do a good Restoration of anything.  I've seen some Amateur Restorations but when someone can do a Professional looking Restoration, it can't be beat.  I like some things Original with the Patina of Age tho' too, just get them Working and leave the Paint or effects of Time imparted 'As Found'. 

For example, the 46 Below I'd leave "As Is" and just make sure it was running well.   I wouldn't touch the Exterior coz it's Awesome as Original.   And I Guess the folks that did it's Restoration just worked on what can't be seen, Engine, Chassis, Interior.   So, it's fully Restored too, but just Exterior left in Original Condition coz it was too Special an Aged Patina of Time to mess with.   Moving On... the major News Channels are covering all the "No Kings Rallies" across the Nation, Crowds are massive and Peaceful and dominating the News Cycle, which is exactly what we want.  It's a Positive Energy showing how fed up America is with the fuckery in the White House and the whole Political Scene playing out Daily now.  We're fed up with the Shutdown, with this Regime dismantling all our important Agencies that protect Americans and National Security, slashing Programs for the most Vulnerable of Society, and our Veterans who have Honorably Served our Country.  Making our Healthcare more expensive and less affordable to most.  Increasing the Cost of literally everything.

All the while Lining their own Pockets while Hosing the rest of America's People, except for the most Elite, who they Pander to and make even more obscenely Richer at our expense.   Listen, I don't begrudge anyone in America prospering, it's the American Dream to prosper.  But do so Ethically and Honestly, without getting undue Favor out of the White House becoz you're a Big Donor and their Billionaire Buddies Trading Favors amongst themselves.  Or becoz you got a Presidential Extortionist you're Paying Off to get curried Favor and Exemptions, while Screwing Over the American People and those who can't Pay the Bribes demanded, so that it becomes an unlevel Playing Field in Business.   Anyway, it's a Positive Vibe to see the Protests going on so successfully and visibly, in a Peaceful and even a Festive way.   Even Donnie Two Dolls trying to desperately distract Media Coverage from the "No Kings" Protests by Pardoning another Republican Convicted Criminal couldn't cut it.  And we know it's the only reason he did it... Loves him his Distractions.

Protesting his Policies and Authoritarian Agenda is important to show whose in Support of Democracy, and being on the Right Side of History.  The Twin Cities in Minnesota had an enormous Turnout, quite impressive, just an endless Sea of Protestors as far as the Eye could See!   Many other Cities participating Nationwide, even Towns, no place is too Small to participate and Show the Presence of Patriotic Minded Americans.  Those who still Value Democracy, Freedom, the Rule of Law and of Order.  People who don't want any Demographic Groups Targeted for brutality, Racism, Xenophobia, Sexism, Homophobia, Religious Persecution, or discrimination.  Nor abducted by Masked Goons who refuse to even Identify themselves.  We don't want Militarized Cities or Martial Law enacted against Americans, we just want a Normal President, and we don't want no Fucking Kings.

Mando's Aunt's Tamales were very good, turns out she's the Ex-Wife of our Friend Dino, who we've known since the 80's, Small World!!!  I didn't know that Mando was Related by Marriage to Dino's Family, many of his Cousins are good Friends of ours since the 80's!!!   We only didn't meet him becoz of his unfortunate circumstances that kept him out of circulation Locally for 13 long Years until Justice was Served.  I cannot even Imagine being Innocent and Serving 13 Years for a serious Crime you didn't Commit and then having The System have to Vacate, anulling and Voiding a Conviction, and says Oooops, Sorry about that, Wrongful Conviction, we'll remove that Conviction from your Record, our Bad!!!  Actual Innocence being verified doesn't erase the permanent harm done to the Accused or give them back the Lost Years, the irrevocable harm to their Reputation in the Court of Public Opinion, what they had to go thru that is so traumatic it will impact them for Life. 

Anyway, the Tamales are excellent Beef ones, great ratio of Masa that is Moist, to Filling, and not too Spicy, so The Man can eat them.  We still are Friends with Dino and know his Daughter Laura, whose Mom made these.  Mando and Laura are Cousins on their Mom's side of the Family and it's a big Family.  Almost all the Locals with his Surname are Related and have lived here for Generations and have always been proud to be a big part of this Community they Love, Investing in it and being tight knit with their Neighbors.  That's why I came back to this Community, it's got a strong sense of Community, of being Neighborly and tight knit.  Some Neighborhoods that is sorely lacking, which is a shame.  If they Cared about one another more, theirs would be a better Community too.  No Community is perfect, people are flawed, it's part of being Human, but we're not called to perfection, but should be called to Love one another as ourselves.   Don't be so fearful of our differences, focus on commonalities of the Human Experience.

I personally feel that Diversity, Equity and Inclusion enriches Society, it doesn't detract from it in any way.   Variety is the Spice of Life.   Equity by definition means the Quality of being Fair and Just, especially in a way that that takes account of and seeks to address existing Inequalities.  Nothing Wrong with that either, it adds Value, which Equity always does.  And Inclusion... equal access to Opportunities and Resources, to be Included in a Group or Structure rather than Excluded.  Nothing Wrong with that either, people don't like being Excluded, it's never a good Feeling to be not Included, Respected, given Dignity and Fair Treatment and Opportunities afforded to anyone else.   Why anyone would be against all of that just reveals their own Insecurities or Biases openly.

Moving On to Blog News... I'm keeping more of my Archived Posts up than usual and not Purging them as stringently now coz I see a lot of Readers of my Archived Posts.   So long as folks need the time to be able to Read them I'll leave them up as a courtesy.  I never go back and Read my Archived Posts, but I do Read your Archived Posts coz I don't get a chance to Read a lot Blogs every Day, so I often hafta play catch up.  LATER: We did do Environmental Cleanup and at one of the Nature Preserves nearby Parks they were having a Vintage Car Show of some of the Local Car Clubs and I took a few Pixs of my Fav Two Old Cars.  {See Below} The Owners said all the Cars were For Sale, I don't know how they could part with any of them after putting in that much Work to Restore them?  What a Labor of Love!

   

Each Car Club was Representing and had Banners up at their Gazebos and it was very Festive, playing Old Style Music from the 1970's, BBQ's and Car Enthusiasts mingling.   These Two Vehicles seemed to be from the Local Sodality Car Club.   The Meaning of Sodality is Brotherhood and Community.  It was a real Positive Vibe.  There was also an enormous Family Reunion of the Perez Family Locally, we know several of their Relatives.   And also a Wedding being held at the Park, which has the Estrella Mountain Range as a Beautiful Natural Backdrop.  The Reception was also set up in the Park, the Bride looked Lovely.   And they had a Vintage Car with the Tin Cans Tied behind it for when they were ready to depart.   The River is still running high and fast, way higher than usual and going further downstream into the Dry Wash portion of the Riverbottom.   Lots of Baby Fish present and lots of people Fishing coz the bigger Fish are coming in when it's wider and deeper Bank to Bank.

 

I did find some nice River Rocks too and some more spent Santeria Candles in the River that I fished out and put on our Halloween Display Gravestones, a half Dozen of them.  I've got some faux Votive Candles that are Battery Operated that I'll use in them on Halloween Night.  Each was a Blessings Votive with nice Graphics, each different, but used up all the Wax Candle inside.  The County had done some Trash Cleanup again but hadn't fished anything out of the River that was debris.  But, at least a lot of the Illegal Dumping had been Cleaned Up again.  I do Wish they could catch the folks Illegally Dumping bulk Garbage in the Nature Preserve and Jail/Fine them heavily.  

There's no excuse for doing it, every Community has Bulk Garbage Pick Up Curbside once every Month at no extra Charge!!!  It's more trouble to haul it somewhere Illegally and dump it than to just put it to the Curb on Bulk Garbage Day where you Live!!!  People can be Stupid and so Piggish and Environmentally Unconscious.  Plus, every Landfill allows you to bring Bulk Trash to Dump anytime, at about Sixty Bucks per Ton, or a lesser flat rate for smaller loads.   The Free Bulk Garbage Pick Up allows about 2,000 Pounds per Month to be set Curbside per Resident.  Anyway, so, everything looked cleaner after the County had recently hauled Illegally dumped Trash away... but it's a never ending battle to combat it.  The same with our Environmental Cleanup of Aluminum Cans, Today we probably collected about 35 Lbs. of Aluminum.  And that's just a Weekend's Haul of it out of places we go Weekly and more often than just once a Week to those locations. 

I met a nice Young Man Fishing with his Two Young Sons, his Name was Michael and he used to work for Central Arizona Project {CAP}.  It's a 336 Mile System that delivers and supplies Colorado River Water to the most populated Regions of Arizona.   He agreed that the exponential growth Rate, especially here in the Far West Valley, is not sustainable and River levels were already way low due to usage.  He's always lived in Arizona, Born and Raised here, but said too many are Migrating to our State now and at some point it is too many to sustain in a Fragile Ecosystem like a Desert.   I agree.   Some places can sustain bigger Populations, but more Fragile Environments cannot long term.  Water will be the Issue for Metro Phoenix eventually.  Sooner rather than later at this rate of Population explosion.  We already got just a tad below Five Million Residents in Metro Phoenix now, when I moved here in the 1970's it was 1,063,000... and in 1950 it was only 106,000, but in that Decade grew to 439,000 by the end of the 1950's!  

States like New York, California and Illinois are losing the most Population due to people's Exodus and Migrating to States like ours.  Other States with declines include Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Oregon, West Virginia, Michigan, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Connecticut, New Jersey, New Mexico and Louisiana.   Not just from Migration/Exodus of Residents, but also due to high Death Rates and Lowered Birth Rates that add to their decline.   Cost of Living is a primary factor of why there is a shift from High Cost of Living States to Lower Cost of Living States, and Weather {especially for Retirees that's a big consideration}, along with Natural Disasters increasing.   Statistically about 1/3 of States are losing Population since 2021.   Florida and Texas have some of the highest and fastest recent Population Growth.   Nevada, South Carolina and Utah have had longer term steady growth tho'.   Arizona is the 7th fastest growing State in the U.S. and the 5th for Numeric Growth, being the 14th most Populated State in the Nation.

 

One of my Designer Friends has gone to Round Top, Texas to do a Show during most of October, which is why I haven't seen her around.  Lots of my Friends in the Industry used to do Shows in Texas regularly, not so much in recent Years.   The Land of Blog used to Cover a lot of those National Shows too, hardly at all anymore, can't even recall the last time I saw a Blog Post of one, it's been that many Years of nothing being Covered anymore.  You can look up Old Blog Posts of such things, but most of them are over Five to Six Years Old now.   I can't recall any Blogs covering Round Top now, there used to be so many that did, so I could be taken along vicariously by Bloggers covering it.

UPDATE:  The Young Prince took an Uber to the house this Morning, so arrived at 6:40 a.m., he looks good and said his Dad had talked him into staying at their House the past Two Days.  But, he said the New Wife became a problem, and he sensed they're having Relationship Problems and it was just tense and awkward to be there.  He's not even sure she didn't leave him by the 2nd Day he was there, coz he went to Gay Pride and when he got back her stuff was gone, including her Cat, but she left the Cat's Collar!!!  He didn't say anything to his Dad about it, that's their business.  I guess she's not Younger than our Grandson, but, she is pretty Young and Immature, had Quit her Job the Day our Grandson arrived!!!  He kinda felt like his arrival was just a handy distraction for her to Exit Stage Left and catch his Dad Off Guard, but, not sure???  Sounds uncomfortable, so I can see why The Young Prince would rather be here instead.

 

Anyway, he had a really good first Day with his Dad and the New Wife, so at first it seemed Promising.  He was trying to get to know her and said Day One she was nice and things didn't seem Weird, then it got Weird, and that's when he told us he'd be coming here to stay and just spend time with his Dad while in Arizona.  He also got to see his Younger Siblings, who live full time with their Mom, Angie.   Now that his Dad and Angie aren't together anymore he said Angie doesn't have any contact with our Grandson, he would have been fine if she had, but Respects if she doesn't want to.  She's always been good to him, but he knows the relationship she had with his Dad was always complicated.  He said his Brother, now at Age 13 is like a Real Person.  *LMAO*  The Young Prince doesn't really consider Children Real People with Personalities, so I know what he means.  *Winks*  The only Children he even Liked were his Two Younger Paternal Siblings.  *Smiles*

 

He and Allen babysat the Younger Brother and Sister a lot coz the Kiddos Adored their Big Brother and his Husband, and Allen is great with Kids.  The Little Sister has considerable Autism, so most Babysitters couldn't handle that.  But Allen has considerable Autism so he understood how she is and she seemed to recognize he did from an early Age and so he was like a Favorite Big Brother to her.   The Young Prince said that Age 8 she's still very much a Child, but she remembered him and was glad to see him.  He was getting to know his Little Brother now as a Young Man rather than a Child, now that he's 13, he's Grown Up so much since the last time he saw his Big Brother.  I haven't seen the Kids since the Wedding we had here at the House for The Young Prince and Allen, and Angie brought them and of coarse Bobby officiated the Ceremony.  Picture further Below of Allen at the Wedding with his Sister, who got Married now too.

 

I guess now they're both on good Psyche Meds The Young Prince and Allen are getting along better, so, he'll be returning Home after the Arizona visit.  I'm glad to hear they're working on things.  He said Tyson the Pit Bull is Old but doing Fine, glad to hear that too, he's like their Child.  They have him on Specialty Gourmet Dog Food and his Health has greatly improved due to it.   The Young Prince has Seizures now, he'd begun to have them before, but now has them more often and Neurologists cannot tell him Why?  He got hit by a Car {Yeah, he only JUST told me about THAT in CASUAL CONVERSATION} and since then the Seizures escalated!!!  You know how Adult Kids will nonchalantly tell you something Epic like that AS IF it's an everyday normal occurrence, and no Big Deal?  Well, I was told about him getting hit by a Car like THAT!!!  And then he continued talking about the Health Issue, skipping right by the "When I got hit by a Car" part!!!!!!!!!!!  *LOL*   I'm like, "Jesus, back up, YOU GOT HIT BY A CAR!????@@@!!!!!"  And he's like, "Yeah, I don't wanna Talk about it..."

Of coarse we do always Joke that when talking to either The Young Prince or his Mama, The Daughter, the Stories start out Normal... AND THEN...  *Bwahahahahaha*  And it's not as if they're making the AND THEN Crazy parts up either, it actually has happened and is so Surreal and Crazy that you can't even make shit like that up!!!!   It's the stuff of Novellas and the most Dramatic Drama Movies you've ever imagined, the Situations they get themselves into and the shit that's happened to them in Real Life!!!  *LOL*   Anyway, he said the Gay Pride Event was too Crowded, too Loud, and People were in their little Cliques and not very Friendly, which was very different than any he'd been to before.  He said everyone Acted Cold and All Friended Up so they didn't even wanna Talk to or be Inviting to anyone "New".  

  

He got a lot of Compliments on his Outfit, coz he did look Fierce and Fine, but he said nobody beyond being Complimentary wanted to be the least bit Sociable tho'.  So, he went Club Crawling instead on Melrose, which has a lot of Gay Bars and Clubs, and that was Poppin'.   I guess he went to Pride with his Dad and his Dad's New Wife.  His Dad is Bi, so he's often gone Clubbing at Gay Bars and Gay Pride Events with his Son and Allen in Solidarity, in the Past, when he was still Single.   His longer term Relationships have been with Women, but he's had a lot of Bromances since High School and I always thought he was part of the LGBTQ+ Community since he was a Young Teen and Dating our Daughter... who is also Bi and has had Girlfriends and Boyfriends.   I don't know what the New Wife is into tho', never met her.  We were all shocked as Hell that Bobby even ever got Married, to anyone, Male or Female, so, if it doesn't last long we won't be Surprised.  If he's being Bobby, well... nuff said.  *LMAO*   As The Young Prince so succinctly said, "The New Wife is really Weird... and my Dad was just being My Dad..."

He said he saw a lot of "No Kings" Event People, you had to pay Forty Bucks to attend Pride, but the "No Kings" Protests were Free, but apparently some people went to both.   Gay Pride was held more like a Street Fair sectioned off by the City and Permitted thru the City, with a Block Party Atmosphere, Vendors, Parade and such.   The Young Prince said it wasn't worth the Forty Bucks this Year tho'.   He said Phoenix PD must have been spread pretty thin providing Eyes for both big Events at the same time tho'?  He said all Law Enforcement were Cool and there was no Violence or Drama that broke out at either Event, all Peaceful and no Troublemakers showed up to spoil either one, which is how it should be and I was glad to hear that.  Both got Coverage on Local News, the Pride Parade will also be Today, which in Real Time is the 19th.  So Downtown sections will be Closed Off to Traffic for that.  It will last the whole Weekend whereas "No Kings" Protest was for just the 18th.

Pride Weekend always has a Mardi Gras kind of Vibe to it and is just Celebratory, Fun and Peacefully representing the Community.   The Young Prince has attended them as an Adult, but he said you do see a lot of Families there.   I'm glad it's going off well, even tho' he was disappointed that this Year the Attendees weren't that Sociable.  He said most people came with people.  Mostly in small Groups of 3-4 being very exclusive and not inclusive, but some had very large Groups that came together and stayed together exclusively and were not at all inclusive to you joining them either.   He'd approach people to be Sociable and say you'd get Frosted Out quickly... and he found it Rude, he wasn't looking for a Hookup so it wasn't like he was Hitting on anyone Sexually at all.  I Joked that mebbe that was the Reason?  *Winks and LOL*   

I like how he's done his Hair now, he's got a Blonde Mohawk which he just lets hang down and has cut considerably from the long length he used to have it, and a Fade that is slightly Darker Brown all around it.  He has very thick coarse Puerto Rican Textured Hair so said it's less hassle.   He still had longer Lavender Hair in the last most recent Pix he'd sent me {Below}, so he looked totally different now and I liked it better with the Blonde, it's the Hair Color most Natural to how it was as a Child and suits him with his Green Eyes.  I'd forgotten how much Taller he is than me, and he's still Thin coz he and his Sister always have been very Thin all their Lives and both unfortunately have considerable Gut Issues that never got resolved.  

She'll be seeing her Specialist soon but The Young Prince said not to be too Optimistic about that coz he's been seeing Gastro Specialists for Years too and to no avail.   So he just now accepts he can't eat so many Foods and has to drink Protein Mixes that Bodybuilders use to just not get any Skinnier.   He's very leanly Muscular tho' and very Strong, so Looks are deceiving, his Muscle Mass is Solid even tho' he has very low Body Fat over his Muscles.   Both of The G-Kid Force are very Sensitive about being so Thin tho', coz it's always mentioned by people.   As if they have some Eating Disorder and are trying to be too Thin, but, they're not, each tries to gain Weight but not much helps with that effort.   And frankly, I was always Skinny my whole Life until the Hysterectomy and Trust me when I tell you that when you're Metabolically Too Thin it can be as hard to Gain Weight as it is for the Overweight folks to Lose Weight.

Anyway, he looks Healthy even tho' I know his struggles with Health and Mental Health, and he said the new Meds, Wellbutrin, are Helping he and Allen a lot, for different Diagnosis, but, Positive results.  I'm glad to hear that, he seems a lot more balanced on it and the Schizophrenia and D.I.D. don't seem as prominent.   He still has the Shark Eyes when Stressed Out, and he was pretty Stressed due to how uncomfortable the Situation at his Dad's had been for the first Two Days in Town.  That's understandable, I'd probably have been Mental with Dealing with any of that after just having had a long Flight from New Mexico, to Colorado, to Arizona.  He's only brought a small Backpack, so I don't know how long he's planning the Visit?  He Travels Light tho', like his Mom always did, so just a Backpack for him can last him indefinitely.  *Ha ha ha*  He was saying he Plans to be here thru Halloween to Celebrate it with us coz Clovis isn't all that Into Halloween, too many Fundies that think it's The Devil's Holiday.  *Smiles*

I'm glad coz I think Princess T Plans to spend Halloween with her Gay Boy Posse and mebbe they'll all Invite her Brother to join them for Halloween?   Timmy has been like her Surrogate Replacement Gay Brother when her Gay Brother moved out and The Young Prince Jokes about that.   She's with Rusty right now, as is their Custom on the Weekend when she has her Days Off Work and he does too, but I'll let her know her Brother did make it to the House now.   I forgot that we'd forgotten to tell her so she just found out he was even coming Last Night!!!  Oooops!!!   Anyway, we're already having a good time and he's glad to be Home for a Visit, it's been a long time.
