Yesterday was a good day. The sun was shining. The temps climbed up into the high 80s F). Yard work was done. I bought a spankin' new hose for the yard - 100 feet long! This one will stretch to the driveway, should I ever have the desire to wash my car.
Oh, and I bought a 'saw on a stick,' at least that's what I like to call a branch saw. I have a number of trees surrounding my yard with branches that need to be trimmed back or removed completely. Investing in a branch saw was much safer than climbing up on a shaky ladder with my chainsaw.
Last evening, I went to see Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. This movie is definitely non-brainer entertainment. A cornucopia of CGI effects, the plot is a bit thin. Spiderman, No Way Home introduced the multiverse, Dr. Strange tries to explain it... kind of, but my way is better: there are many parallel universes, and we all exist in some way, shape, or form in each of them. My movie buddy said, as we were leaving the theater, "they must have been doing some really fine drugs when they wrote that." I have to agree.
Next Tuesday, Pennsylvania has its primary election. We are one of those odd states where you can only vote if your registered as either a Democrat or a Republican. Those registered as independents always sit out primaries. More people are registered as Independents than the other two parties. This means no one should look at Tuesday's election as an indicator of what's going to be happening in the state this November.
Too close to call, is what they're saying about the Republican primary. Three candidates are neck and neck. That's right. Three. McCormack, the guy from Connecticut who seems to be dropping in the polls, Oz, Trump's choice who seems to be climbing in the polls, and Kathy Barnett (sp), a black woman who has never held political office and who out MAGAs the other two. That's right. This woman is so far to the right she makes Oz and McCormack seem mainstream. Tuesday will be interesting.
As expected, the vote for WHPA failed yesterday. Democrats need to take that and turn it into a large baseball bat and start to batter the hell out of Republicans. The time has come to take action.
I caught bits and pieces of the republican debate to see what those poor sucker were choiced with. What a shit show. They didn't answer any questions, and all they did was fight and bitch at each other. This is what they think of the people they will work for. Should show their voters they didn't care to take the time to answer questions, but fight with each other. Even Kathy Barrnett and Carla Sands were going at each other. And any of them were hard pressed to give a compliment or any positive aspect of each other. Its going to be a ugly fight with Fetterman. I hope he can hold his own.
ReplyDeleteI'd herd it was constant attacks. Now you know why they don't do national debates; it's not about facts but about who has the best attack, and as a result they look stupid as hell.
DeleteI think our state allows you to switch parties the day you vote. I don't usually vote in the primaries, but I think I am still an independent.
ReplyDeleteIt's a complaint we hear every primary season, that Independents can't vote. I can see the logic in it.
DeleteOhhh I'm gonna wait for this Dr. Strange to hit the streaming services. Love me some Cumberbatch, though.
ReplyDeleteAnd the repgus are idiots, so their debates are idiocy enhanced. They have no platform, just stunts and fuckery.
So independents don't vote this time? Interesting. Totally lopsided results, then...
XOXO
Independents can't vote in the primaries. They can vote in November's election, which can lead to some serious surprises. Streaming is fine for Strange. As I said, it was very entertaining, but when it does stream, I won't watch it a 2nd time.
DeleteWe just need to get out and vote!!
ReplyDeleteThat's an understatement.
DeleteA "saw on a stick" - I like that! Actually they were on sale here this week and I hesitated but nah, sod it, I screw too many things up and will just pay "the man" when he comes by!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how much I'll use it, but I'd like a little more sun in the yard to help things grow, and this was cheaper than paying someone $500 to cut down some branches.
DeleteNothing should surprise me anymore when it comes to politics but I can't believe Dr. Oz might win the primary. Jealous of your weather as we got snow earlier this week and barely in the 60s right now.
ReplyDeleteI think we're getting your snow tomorrow, as rain. Yes, Oz, the Muslim, of course he'll lose in November.
