National Milk Day 2025
Today is National Milk Day, which reminds me that we’re a bit low. Will need to make a run for more.
🤡 The Udder Runs Dry ⚰️
You can only milk a cow so long, then you’re left holding the pail. ~Hank Aaron
One of the great things about 2025 is that we’re starting to turn some very important pages.
There’s a non-secret secret about the 🤡 clown world 🗺️ we’ve been living in for the last decade or two.
All the brain dead fuckery we’ve been watching in slow motion horror has finally hit a wall that it might not be able to overcome.
I hedge that because 🤡 clown world 🗺️ has an uncanny capacity to preserve its ridiculous self.
When you think things can’t get more absurd, there’s a quantum leap in new dimensions of absurdity.

Totally mysterious and unexplained wildfires in Maui and now in LA are inexplicably benefitting unknown entities to move forward a plan to facilitate the creation of 15 minute cities in which single family homes are thing of the past.
You will own nothing and be happy. That’s actually a misnomer. You will own nothing and (the property owners will) be happy is more like it.

They want to build highrise blocks of apartment housing. Will they fix the water situation if that occurs? If the status quo persists because of whatever demented reason it became the rule, then the next Santa Ana Wind that brings hell on earth from ridculously unmanaged forests catching fire will be even worse.
If they expect to increase population density ten or a hundredfold with the introduction of highrise apartment blocks (that are so very safe and manageable in NYC, mind you) without fixing the conditions that led to this wildfire that has flattened large swaths of LA, won’t the death toll rise ten or a hundredfold?
Won’t the traffic jams that came with people’s desperate attempts to get the fuck outta Dodge become a pedestrian traffic jam of people fleeing their highrise apartment buildings to run into smoky, flame-choked streets with no hope of getting anywhere safe because cars have also been banned?
Isn’t the gleaming highrise future they’ve envisioned guaranteed to become a collection of massive crematoriums?

The future sucks, and you can thank the Democrats if this actually goes through. Good thing the folks on the Left Coast keep voting for these soulless morons.

Milk is tasty and nutritious. I drank it in volume as a kid and would do so today, but we’re near the bottom of the jug. Unacceptable.
My son, Connor, is lactose-intolerant, so he doesn’t enjoy milk nearly as much as I do. Not everyone does.
For me, I’ve always found it delicious and (given the details in these videos) uplifting. Little did I know that milk is rich in B12 and Vitamin D.
Actually, I did know about the Vitamin D but regularly forget about it because of all the random facts that my brain contains, that’s not one of them.
B12 and Vitamin D figure regularly in my routine for wellbeing. Vitamin D is a natural antidepressant and B12 is important for energy (of which I have tragically little).

Naturally, I also enjoy dairy products of all types. Cheese, butter, yogurt, ice cream, cottage cheese and whipped cream are all among my favorite treats.

I can’t say enough good things about milk and its derivatives. So, I’m glad it got its own “National Day”.

I write in order to attain that feeling of tension relieved and function achieved which a cow enjoys on giving milk. ~H. L. Mencken
That’s an odd way to express it, but accurate nevertheless.
When you’re compelled to do something in life, that is the very sensation you get when that compulsion is satisfied.
People who like to make music, throw pottery, play sports, smoke meat or bake pastries all share the sense of satisfaction from having created something as well as the satisfaction in having to have done so.
All the more so with writers. It’s like we’ve got a head full of stories that are likely to make our brains erupt if we don’t exercise the process of getting them out.
Given that I’m a writer and self-publisher, I have a similar problem. Stories pile up in my head until they need to come out.
Fortunately, I’ve given myself plenty of opportunities to alleviate this buildup. Naturally, there are my Holiday Season Serial Romances.
That’s an annual guarantee that I’ll finish and publish a story straight out of my crowded brain.
Add to that my long-term projects for The Sentinels, Collateral Impact, Tales Of Olde Auringia and Far-Flung Reaches. I’ve got avenues for story-brain easement for years to come.
As I’ve previously mentioned, I love living in the 21st Century for many reasons. Among them are the ideas that Jason from The Nerdy Novelist mentions in this video:
23 WAYS To Transform ONE BOOK Into A MONEY MAKING MACHINE!
That’s food for thought, particularly for someone like me who has a lifelong case of story-brain. Maybe it will inspire you, too.
That’s all for today. It’s been a long week and I need to go grab another jug of milk before we’re totally out. Wednesday’s “National Day” is a bit of an arrow to my heart, so I’ll see you then.
