Portland Will Outlive Him

We have a dense fog advisory in effect for the next hour or two.  Looking out my window, I have to say the wisps I'm seeing have less to do with density and more to do with mistiness.  This is because we had on and off showers throughout yesterday afternoon, and overnight the temps dropped down into the mid 50s (F).  Supposedly they're going to climb up into the mid 80s (F) this afternoon.  We'll have to wait and see on that.

Yesterday was pretty much a meh day.  No workouts are scheduled for the weekend.  I did get some nice wordage done on the new book.  Oh, and I also had to spend time at the flooring desk.  Things were slow.  I did talk to a few customers, but none of them were in the buying mood.  One of my associates spent about an hour and a half with a wife and husband who are in the planning stages for a new kitchen and bathroom floor.  Believe me, they can be the worst because "planning stages" usually means they're going to waste your time.  This is play acting for adults, comparing different styles of backsplash tiles to different colors of flooring.  Pictures will be taken for future reference.  I mean, what better way to spend a drizzly, rainy afternoon than dreaming of what you might what your kitchen and bath to look like.  Just don't mention the probable $30,000 price tag for all the improvements they're thinking of doing.  That's a real spoiler.

So, while my fellow associate did that, I got in my steps.

And everybody was talking about the warzone Portland had become.

Well, maybe not.  Mostly people are talking about the Orange Anus reaching a decision to send troops to a peaceful, northwest city because he saw a hit piece on Fox Entertainment.  There's also his loss to Jimmy Kimmel, I'm sure that has his blood seething like boiled over ketchup through his veins.  Let's be honest here, Orangie lost in a very public way.  He doesn't take humiliation well, and that is what happened.  He was all "braggadocios" about shutting Kimmel down only to have his loss smeared all over the front page of every Main Stream Media website.  

Some have pointed out his sending troops to Portland might be another attempt to change the topic of conversation away from the Epstein Files, especially since more names were released on Friday.  While that might be a part of his decision making process, I'm thinking Sinclair, and Nextstar, and Tegen going against his will really torched his ire.  Either, Or, this is just him once again farting into the wind as a way of distracting from his multiple failures.  You know it's bad when Karl Rove is on Fox Entertainment telling America that 70% of both Republicans and Democrats think Orangie is taking the country in the wrong direction.

Sinclair Caves Big Time

 Saturday.  Today, if the forecast is correct, might just be last hottest day we have this summer.  The temp is predicted to climb into the mid to upper 80s (F).  You could say we're in a mini-heat wave for the next few days, then Autumn returns with cooler daily highs.  I can deal with that.

Being that we are in the weekend, I'm scheduled to work.  Because today's is supposed to be sunny and warm, I'm not expecting the store to be busy.  Now I know some might be questioning that statement, but you need to realize that the time for curb appeal is out of season.  That happens in the spring, not fall.  And while there will be those who are out looking for Halloween decorations, because the economy appears to be slip, sliding away, their numbers will be lower.

There will be food, though.  This weekend is our bonus weekend.  Our bank accounts are a tad bit fuller because of our miniscule bonus checks.  Though, mine was nice.  I used part of it to buy a new game, Borderlands 4.  It's what's called a looter/shooter.  A first person shooter with lots of fancy weapons, and ammunition tucked away all over the place so you never run out of bullets.  It's entertaining, meaning that it will help fill the gaming time until something more interesting comes out.  And since I'm probably a little better than average playing first person shooters I'm not disappointedly dying every few minutes.   Sometimes I play stealthy, and at others I run in guns-a-blazing.

And Kimmel's back on all stations.  Now tell me, wasn't that fun?  Punching Orangie and his henchman car in the face?  I saw a clip of Just Dancin' Vance and he was not happy.  He was spewing some sort of garbage about affiliates should be allowed to censor that which Orangie doesn't like... well, those weren't his words exactly, but that is the gist of their meaning.  The problem Republicans have always had is they have this seriously flawed belief that if they're in charge they can dictate and America will simply bow their heads and do as they say.  They just learned that belief was terribly wrong.  Will they learn anything from this learning experience?  Absolutely not.  That would mean everything they believe to be true is a lie.  Ouch!

And Elonia is in the Epstein files, so is Petey Thiel, which is a bit odd since Thiel, being gay, is not into little girls, and I don't recall there being any mention of little boys.  In fact, while Orangie and Randy Andy may have been going for the pedophilia, I'm wondering if there might not have been some other shenanigans going on.  We know Petey Thiel owns Just Dancin' Vance, so who's to say this wasn't the beginnings of Project 2025.
