Bluntness

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

Cherry Blossoms and Belly Dancers

Yesterday was nice and sunny.  Temps rose all the way up to 70 (F) here. They were supposed to reach that high today, now, however, the forecast has changed.  We're only supposed to reach the upper 60's (F), which is still fine.  Tomorrow, when I go back to work, we expecting rain... and on Thursday as well.  Remember, we are in spring and April, with it's showers, is approaching.

I took a picture of the Spring Tree yesterday, even though I'm still waiting fora few more glass beaded ornamental birds.  It's kind of pretty with garlands of cherry blossoms and birds, and bees, and butterflies.  Some of the birds are foam with real feathers and need to be higher then Biggie's mouth.    


 I watched this yesterday in between cleaning out my peonies and uncovering my hostas and, since I'm just in the preliminary stages of The Body in Repose, thought a bearded, belly dancer might make an interesting suspect.


While I realize the Biden administration is still in fledgling status, I do think we need to see Harris having a more public persona.  I do know she was down in Florida talking about the need to get vaccinated, however she needs to be seen as more than simply a PR representative.  There are a lot of white men in the country who need to see her as a viable candidate for the white house and we can't wait until Biden's third year in office for this to happen.  Start early and finish strong.  This is not the time to find ourselves in a position where we need to play catch up since the Cracker Jack Crazies are not going to let up.  We need to blunt their wedge now.

  2. Thanks. I thought I'd mentioned the new book, taking place in the French Quarter, and a harem, and an art school with nude models... perhaps I'm giving away too much.

    1. One of the reasons Loser #45 got as many votes as he did was because is a patriarchal society. Many need to be taught differently and keeping her quiet teaches nothing.

  4. You're right about Kamala. She's an intelligent woman and needs to be more prominent.

  5. I love the tree! It's such a good idea to have a seasonal tree instead of just xmas..

    And a bearded belly dancer? Very nice, Dave. Very nice.

    As for Kamala, I think she's kept a low profile kind of intentionally. I think she'll be more out there once they fix all the fuckery Cheeto caused.

    XOXO

  6. I too thought the same of Kamala.

    So far all I have seen of her is shuffling papers, some interviews, smiling at Biden's side. I've not heard much of her since her performance at the Inauguration. If she make nothing of the role, no sense even running for WH. BUT it's only been over 60 days in.......

    1. I understand why they want to keep the focus on Biden, but we need letting people know she's VP for a reason.
