Well, shall we all say hello to Thursday? For some of you, the day is half over, for us living on the eastern seaboard of the US, the day is just beginning, and for those of you still sleeping farther to our west, don't worry, morning is coming your way.
Today is a workday for me. 6.5 hours. That means I have a lunchbreak. I'm taking rice and meatloaf, with lots of tomatoey sauce. Yum. Also, 2 bananas for my fresh fruit supplement.
I have plans to go down to York, PA on Sunday, so I'll probably bake a peach cobbler tomorrow. And, in case any of you are wondering about my nectarine tree, well, this will be the 3rd year without any fruit. Not that there weren't any nectarines, it's just that the squirrels have been eating them. They must find the green, unripened fruit tasty.
As most know, I enjoy Alternative Music. Some call it Rock, as in rock & roll. I rarely listen to old music; I've already lived through it once. Unlike a lot of people, I feel very little need to regularly dance down memory lane. Give me fresh and new. The 1975 was founded in 2002, so that means it is not a new band for some, but to me it is. Any band that can work the word ejaculate into a lyric is pressing the boundaries. This song is great!
And Lyndsey Graham is trying to quash his subpoena. Whatever he's hiding must be scaring the shit out of him. Good. He's gone to Federal Court to keep from having to lie under oath.
Remember when, after Biden won, all of the pundits, and many, many in the media said the midterms were going to go Republican? Easy, peasy fact, they said, the winning party always loses in the midterms. Well, it turns out that they were wrong. the midterms races are closer than Hell. Oops. Ain't that a pisser if you happen to be a Republican? And it also turns out many voters want to upend the system. They are not happy that a minority party managed to steal the Supreme Court. They are not happy with having their votes nullified by gerrymandering. They are fed up with the Electoral College deciding the presidency. They are sick and tired of their congressmen and congresswomen over riding what they want in order to push party politics. Basically, a large majority of Americans what to satisfy the majority and put Americans first. And mostly, it seems, they blame conservatives. This is not good for a minority party who so desperately feel the need to say, "shut up, we're in charge."
I'm not sure what's happening with my peach tree but the first year it gave peaches they were plentiful, if small. Now they're about the size of walnuts and like bullets. The birds can have them - although I reckon they'd break their beaks if they tried!
ReplyDeleteMy peaches were fine, but the nectarines? I'm thinking of cutting down the tree and putting in something else.
DeleteI'll never understand how you can get away eating all those baked goods.
ReplyDeleteI work at trying to keep the pounds off, believe me.
DeleteI sure hope you are right, Dave R. The minority has been wielding this power for years but I think after these most recent Supreme Court rulings that people are starting to get sick of the bull shit. For the people, by the people has not been happening.
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing it in a lot of places. People are fed up with the 'do nothing party,' that believes he can say "shut up, we're in charge."
DeleteLike you said, polls should not be trusted. After all, they all said Hillary was gonna win...
ReplyDeleteAnd Lady G is in trouble and she deserves it. There's skeletons in that closet. Aplenty.
And I like the 1975. Smart.
XOXO
Lyndsey's trouble is as deep as the ocean is wide. Oh, and the Republicans are in trouble, in spite of what the polls may say. And, I love that song.
DeleteLet's hope that the Majority rules and prevails or this Country will circle the drain quickly. I want to be guardedly optimistic that Democracy can be adequately protected, but the Lunatic Fringe, tho' in the Minority, are not as divided within their ranks as the Left seems to be... Unity of Purpose is important and it seems the Democrats getting it together is like herding Cats. As a Moderate Independent, since I know no Independent would ever Win over the Two dominant Parties, I'd like at least one Party to have some clarity and sanity to salvage what is left of the mess this Country became after 2016.
