Bluntness

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

The truth about revelations

 For some of you this is Hump Day, the middle of the week.  For me?  It's the last day of my Staycation.  Don't worry, I have another planned in a little over three weeks.  Six days are always better then five.

Weather wise?  Today's supposed to be crap.  Showers and thundershowers.  The forecast is not going to change for the next 3 days.  We're going through a mini-broken record of on again, off again storminess.  I do wish the rain would hold off for a couple of days so things could dry off.  Everything is so damp, the ground, itself, seems spongy, and the mosquitos are a blazin', almost to the point where I ready to light some citronella candles in the house.

As many of you know, I like using song lyrics in my books.  Old songs, new songs, lyrics add provide depth in their poetry.  This song has always been a favorite of mine and I'm pleased to say the inestimable Sheila Caine will be performing some of these lyrics from the Nefertiti Stage of The Amon-Ra night club.  Welcome to New Orleans.


One of the many, many fires out in California was started by a gender reveal party.  I found it rather pleasing to see that the couple responsible are now facing numerous charges, including manslaughter.  Good.  Gender Reveal parties are one of those trendy things people have come up with to get their names in the media.  This couple have definitely succeeded.   I doubt very much if they'll ever think about smoke bombs without remember the expense on in particular is going to cost them.

Don't you find it amusing to see Republicans and their allies, so strident in their anti-vax bias, suddenly revealing how much they want their constituents to be vaccinated.  Scalise gets his first shot... and that made headlines.  McConnell's telling people to 'get that shot in the arm.'  The CEO of Newsmax has said Biden's doing a good job fighting the virus.  I guess they've finally realized that dead Republicans can't vote.

  1. The weather is absolutely crazy. It's just cloudy and hot here. No rain.
    I love Darren Hayes. I love his Savage Garden stuff and his solo stuff too.
    Gender reveal parties are an exercise in futility and should go away now. Glad those idiots are getting thrown the book at them.
    I'm torn about the repugs suddenly realizing they were going to be put in the position of having to be FOR mail voting because so many idiots were making the virus spike again: they were shooting themselves in the foot for the next elections.

    1. Don't be torn. America's going to vote against the party that might put them back into lockdown.

  2. I'm back at work myself, for two days ... then a four-day weekend. i am loving this schedule.

    Gender reveal parties are ridiculous; no one REALLY cares except the parents who want a little fame and some pricey gifts!

  3. I am surprised people want to straddle the unborn baby with an assigned gender :).

    1. The baby doesn't care, so why should the parents.

  4. While I feel sorry for the people that started that fire (and even more so for the firefighter that died) I agree with Bob. Who really cares what gender the baby is, except the parents and immediate family!

    1. Actually, it shouldn't make a difference if it's a boy or a girl, unless you're part of a sexist society.
