I received no tax information from my teaching job so I have to go chase that down this week. The main office changed locations so that will be an additional challenge. Taxes must be filed by April 15th so the Internet is alive with hilarious government jokes this week.

Alexandria Menzies, and Anne Brockett, and I went to the Easter Mass at Saint Augustine Church. They had a bonfire, candles, and holiday music for the event. Then we ate Chinese food. I was having a bad spring break holiday due to pneumonia and needing to go to the hospital. I could not travel or see music with that going on. At least I was able to go to family dinner by the end of the break.

I am Andrea Menzies and I got into a new honors society for making all A grades in 2025 and 2026 at a new University. I am also the Pokemon Go player Poedaughter7. The orientation is the same day as the park meeting today so the park thing is cancelled.

Woohoo a new Pokemon Go stop is by the Salem Church Road area. Good news for the meetup groups in Daniels Park.

I got pneumonia today, and had to go to the emergency room. Don’t wait too long to go to the hospital if you need it. I am going to use hand sanitizer every two seconds after this hassle. #2026 pneumonia visit

The new Pokemon Go meetup group is here: https://discord.gg/KgaDbrmcf and here: https://cmpf.re/qpKF0y Note that this group is greatly an online group as many area people are busy with jobs, online, and in-person school in the area. I am super busy with all of these things most weekdays and weekends yet I like the meetings a couple of days a month. #2026PokemonGoParkMeetupChesterfieldVA
Many thanks to the dog Bootsie for helping me visit the Pickleball court and bike 5 miles at the Pokemon Meetup today.

Part of why I am not going to Saint Patrick’s Day events this weekend is the high gas prices. Here are some funny jokes I saw about it online. It is strangely comforting to know I am not the only person cancelling plans due to high gas prices.

I feel music festival envy in spring as Mardi Gras and SXSW are in Louisiana and Texas in February and March. People are desperately trying to get to New Orleans and Austin areas I used to live in, and my timeline is filled with fun photos making me desperately home sick while Virginia is completely garbage.

A bit of air and war irony today on the Internet. The government demands you have a clean car, but can fill the sky with pollution if they want it.

There is a famous documentary called “Who Killed The Electric Car?” available on IMBD here: https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0489037/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk plus is for sale on Amazon. I had to write many papers on this documentary in extension certificates classes at University. I made A grades on the paper, and in the classes. The famous documentary makes the point that the conflicts and wars generated by fossil fuel profits are not a natural condition. Governments and corporations are intentionally destroying alternative transportation to fossil fuel using cars and trucks. It is not natural and inevitable like the sunrise or ocean tide it is a man made problem that is causing wars, abuse of women, car wrecks, and pollution as a start to the problems. How many women who were going home from work were desperate for a car ride home in the rain, and got far more than they bargained for when they had to be alone with a violent man? When massive profit is only in fossil fuel rich areas violence will follow.
