Candy Day!

 Well, what can I say?  It's Candy Day!

In lieu of a Holiday Party, my store is celebrating the 6 days of Christmas, starting today, and we get Candy.  I love candy!  This is something I rarely buy for myself since I understand all it really represents is a really sweet sugar rush.  Most people don't understand, there is always a little bit of a crash after you eat candy.  The more you eat, the bigger the rush and the deeper the crash.  You run around like hell for a while and then you want to take a nap.  

Oh, and for those of you in warmer climes, it's a bitterly brisk 17 (F) degrees outside.  That's chilly.

And my Strava has posted my stats for the past year:  2079 miles on the bike, I climbed enough hills to reach a height of over 88,000 feet, and 188 days out of the past year I was on my bike.  I'm happy with these stats.  Also, I'm heading into my slowest month, which is January.  And an interesting tidbit:  I rode on more Tuesdays then any other day of the week.  Nifty, huh?

For those of you who haven't heard, the United States is suffering from the worst hack in history.  And the Idiot Jerk's blow bro Vlad is responsible.  This is what happens when you put loyalists and lackeys into positions of authority.  The Department of Defense has suddenly put a hold on their transition meetings until January 5.  They say it's a Holiday Break.  Right.  The truth is the Russkies have been prowling around the DOD's computers since March.  This is why they were so happy when the Idiot Jerk got elected, they knew this wannabe tinfoil dictator would leave the back door standing wide open.  The terrible thing is that this is exactly what the Conservatives voted for when they voted for the Idiot Jerk.  Ain't gonna be no sugar high with this one.
