Republican Death Knell

According to the weather map, a slight drizzle is falling in Central Pa.  Slight might be too intense of a word.  I just let the dogs back in and the paving stones of the veranda are still dry, though when I paused to listen, I could hear the occasional drop hitting the leaves of the maple tree.

The young guy across the street has an interest in buying Mike and Karen's house.  His mom is a realtor, of sorts, and yesterday Mike's brother took them on a tour.  I had mentioned the idea of purchasing it to my brother, but on 2nd thought decided that was a bad idea.  The expense of fixing it up is definitely going to be much more costly than the purchase price.  I am at mine constantly, and Mike and Karen did nothing.  They are selling it 'as is,' which means there doesn't need to be a Home Inspection, so it'll go cheap.

I've been watching Pro-Walk Tours while I'm on the treadmill.  Some of them are very nice.  Yesterday I was in Greece, walking around the Acropolis.  There are subtitles providing information.  The walk on Santorini was not that good, as the guide was constantly moving between tourists because he filmed it in the afternoon to avoid shadows.

It's quite possible, a line or two, or three, or more, from this song will make it into The Body Under Ice.  Play it loudly.

Yesterday armed Trump supporters were demonstrating outside the FBI Headquarters in Phoenix (?), Arizona.  While I'm sure their actions tickled the erogenous zones of many of the members of the MAGA cult, the rest of America watched their stupidity.  We've all known how the party has been splintering, shooting itself in the foot, and in the face, ever since the Electoral College said Trump was the winner in 2016, but the search of Mar a Lago has ripped a big chunk of that scabby tissue off.  The NYT called the fissures, that may be an understatement.  In Pennsylvania you have Republicans telling other Republicans they need to vote for Shapiro, the Democratic candidate for governor.  Yesterday, Asa Hutchinson, Governor of Arkansas, was on TV telling Republicans they need to tone their rhetoric down at the same time Trump was posting inflammatory messages to his Truth Social network.  Someone asked, how long it will be before the GOP realizes that the Moral Degenerate is ringing the death knell for the party?  Well, he's already rang that sucker, now it's just a matter of time until the party dies.
