We are not North Korea

Well, what do you know, today's my Sunday... or to be more precise, the last day of my weekend.  And, of course, it's supposed to be drizzly, shitty, and crappy.  That's fine.  For the rest of the week I'm on an 0800 - 1300 shift (my last one!), and after that I have vacation.

Today is primary day in Pennsylvania.  The outcomes are pretty much set.  Surprisingly, Tulsi Gabbard is on our ballot.  She may have dropped out of the race, but you can still vote for her if you want.  Bernie's on, too.  I'm sure he'll get a few votes.

Yesterday I did some chores around the house, but must just relaxed.  No bicycle riding.  This has become my routine.  No ride Mondays are a chance to give my legs a break.  Today I'll be on the bike again.

The first 2 chapters of The Body in the Loch are finished, well, not quite.  They need to be revised.  Right now there are too many words.

In case you didn't know it, the Idiot Jerk in the White House came out of his bunker yesterday and had a bit of a press briefing, no questions from the press, though.  He has now become the Law and Order President, because he failed so terribly at being the Pandemic President.  Let's be honest, he was never going to succeed at that one, his heart is just not in saving thousands of lives.  Instead, he's moved on to turning America into a police state.  While that might appeal to the crazies of his far right base, this attempt is already destined for failure.  He and his party have never understood America, or Americans.  They are not the chosen ones.

And in a desperate attempt to consolidate his base, after riot police used tear gas and concussion grenades to clear the way, he took a short walk to St. John's Episcopal Church for a photo op.  The Episcopalian Bishop has called it a total failure, in fact, she is outraged he chose to turn a holy church into a re-election prop.  The Idiot Jerk is not only stupid, he is bad.  The Cracker Jack Christians created this mess without understanding he will destroy them.  They don't understand he has done more to damage their religion then any man in history.  This is how life is.  They became slovenly drunk on the power he offered them and thus became failures.  

The Idiot Jerk continues to decline in popularity.   Biden increases.  Unpopular governments always fail.  We are not North Korea.

And now for some levity.   I baked Italian bread yesterday.  For some odd reason (don't ask me why) I decided to use bread pans.  I prefer free standing loaves.  Anyway, it tastes good, just looks a bit funny.
