Now, isn't that taxing?

Things are beginning to slow down at work... again.  There is always a lag going into the middle of summer.  Families plan their vacations.  A trip to the shore is always nice, unless there's a pandemic going on... or you happen to be a Conservative... or just damn stupid.  There are a lot of stupid people out there.  This means our flooring sales will drop as they take vacations and infect themselves.  

One of my little angels has disappeared, at least for now.  It's a big tank.  He might be hiding.  If I find him floating along the bottom?  Well, this is what happens when you set up a new tank.  They weren't expensive, so it's not a big financial loss.  If they all kick off, I'll zip over to PetSmart and pick something up.  I just need something pooping and peeing in the tank till it gets established.

The Body in the Loch is moving along nicely.  For those who've read the earlier books, Cook has a stronger presence in this one.  For those who don't know, Cook is Eli's cook, whose last name just happens to be Cook.  She does get a first name in this book, but everybody still calls her Cook.

And I see that Fay is moving my way.  Good.  We need the rain.  It's been very dry.  Passing thundershowers don't do the trick. They're predicting we might get as much as an inch of rain.  Golly, that would be nice.  My plants would love a good soaking.  Right now, they're getting hosed down nightly.

The Idiot Jerk flipped out yesterday, or rather I should say he started ranting about the Supreme Court decision regarding his taxes.  That sad sack of shit in the White House has been spouting out about how he's above the law... wrong.  The Supreme Court smacked him back with a big NO.

A little birdie told me that Ronnie DeSantis, the Idiot Jerk's toy governor from Florida, has been quietly advising Republican donors not to give to the Idiot Jerk's campaign.  If this is true, is he doing it because he realizes that at this point donations are a waste of money?  Or, is he royally pissed because as a toy governor he did what the Idiot Jerk told him to do and now his state is being screwed by Covid?  Or could it be that his political career is going up in smoke?  We will have to wait and see.  One thing's for certain, the Republican Convention in Jacksonville is going to be a real cluster fuck if it happens.

Finally, Biden gave a speech in Scranton yesterday and Steve Bannon (of all people) said it was a good speech.  He has a motive for everything.  I'm betting he's hoping to not get indicted once this shit storm is flushed from the White House.
