Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Tit for Tattying

Tuesday, Vacation Day Number 2
Yesterday I didn't do much of anything, besides buy stuff on Amazon: new case for the new phone (red), a wireless charging station, a pre-order of Cyber Punk 2077 (video game).  I drove to Target because I wanted a pair of sandals / flip flops... the smallest size they had was 13.  I have tiny feet, men's size 8 1/2.  A size 13 would fall off when I walked.
UPS dropped off the wrong package.  I had ordered a Lenovo tablet.  The box I opened contained large plastic syringes and plastic tubing.  About 2 minutes after I opened it, there was a loud pounding at the door.  It was the UPS Driver with the correct package.  Ooops.
I want to swing by the store this morning and get another jalapeno pepper plant.  Something, most likely the curious nose of a dog, snapped the one I had in two.   That sucker's a gonner.  And I do want to grow peppers.  My one tomato plant has flowers already.
I also want to mow the lawn this morning... before it gets too hot.  The temp is supposed to soar into the 90's (F) today.  Tomorrow we have the same forecast.  From then on it's kind of iffy because of Cristobal.  That storm front is supposed to join up with another, larger front moving east creating a much larger storm.  We're going to get wet.
Strava sent my my May stats yesterday.  I rode 284 miles last month.  I'm happy with that.  
For those of you with a hankering to play the Stock Market right now... hold off.  It's going to drop.  Let the super rich take the hit when it comes, because it is going to come.  The vast majority of Mom and Pop investors don't have the necessary financial cushion to survive the serious drops when they come.
And again, yesterday seemed a rather quiet one for the Idiot Jerk in the White House.  That does not mean it was politically quiet.  Billy Barr said that it was the Secret Service who told Bunker Boy he needed to go into hiding.  Ouch.  He and the Idiot Jerk seem to be in some sort of little blame game, tit for tattying each other.  Of course, they're both gutless Republicans so this is normal.  Someone else is always to blame.
Finally, I snapped a picture of one of my red roses yesterday. This has color and perfume.

  1. They should get their stories straight because they change every day.
    That's how liars work.

    1. They will never get their stories in sync because one of them needs to point the finger.

  2. Oh my, that comment about not being able to buy flip flops made me laugh. When I was pregnant I was FAT - not because of anything I ate but I just ballooned up, gaining over 50 lbs with one kid. My feet ballooned too (9 months pregnant in August in Washington D.C. will do that to you) and I couldn't find any bloody shoes to fit. Those feet were so big I would have had to do a three point turn to leave the room. But I found a pair of flip flops in God alone knows what size eventually. And my bloody husband left them in the delivery room when our son was born. I should have divorced him then but thankfully my feet eventually went down.

  3. Now you have me worried. I was just going to reinvest several thousand in the market. Guess it will be low yield interest for now.

    1. I've always been cautious about where I put my money. Quick returns are always such a gamble.

  4. Tis been quiet. He's proably reloading his crazy.

    I love the rose! I will be heading back to mothers to plant her some roses bushes in a few before heading to visit to visit a lone friend further up northeast.

    1. I'm sure he's quietly planning his exile.

  5. That rose!
    I cackled when Barr contradicted Cheeto, of course. They have different messages and narratives. Bet you just saw that Cheeto is saying the 75 year old the police pushed and made fall is ANTIFA and that everything was staged? Not a day goes by....
    And I also have small feet! We can share Doc Martens.

    1. Yeah, I saw that. Another stupid attempt to keep his deplorable base from abandoning him.

  6. What is that old saying... the only time they lie is when their lips are moving?

    1. Hold on to your hat, it's going to get worse because his approval is dropping and he's going to need to blame, blame, blame.

    1. Mine's battery powered so it's quite and I don't mind pushing it around... of course, I also like shoveling snow, so I guess that explains a lot.
