On Friday I cancelled a trip scheduled for today, Monday, October 26, to visit my 80 year old parents because I was mad at Dad for the way he treated me on a phone call Thursday; I didn't answer a question he asked in the exact format how he wanted the answer presented therefore even though my answer was right it was wrong.

And his attitude is a result of a main reason why I didn't want to go in the military and become a senior officer like him, the military ruins your mind as fast as they can & even once you have been out of the military for 40 year you can never mature beyond what they did to your mind.

(my physical health in this defective body has always been a bit of a mess and I could not have done that anyway)(but I saw what the brainwashing was and, no, I'm not voluntarily joining that game)(nor did I want to be a totally disposable pawn expended in national geopolitical adventures)

And now the weather forecast has made the trip unwise anyway.

I guess that's good? :?

Excerpt from National Weather Service below.
Sounds unwise to make a 200 mile, 321km, round trip in that.
