Getting Bitten in the ASS

 I ended up getting a choppy night's sleep because both the dogs had to go potty-outside twice, and, unfortunately, those breaks were not simultaneous.  Every hour on the hour I was roused so I could go downstairs and let one of them out.  This means I might end up taking a nap today.

Work was long and boring yesterday.   When the after-church crowd leaves are 3 PM, customers are few and far between.  The only one shopping are those unfortunate few who think that 6 PM Sunday is the perfect time to shop for an appliance, or flooring, and they want to have long conversations.  The problem is that most of these shoppers are simply that, they're not buyers.  They just want information.  Because so few of them are buyers, staffing is light.  Payroll expense is fine as long as money is flowing into the till, however, management knows talk is cheap only for customers.  

After my morning speed walk, I'm going to be hanging the new light in the workout / computer room.  Because the house is old, and the wiring tends to be a bit on the sketchy side, I bought an inexpensive non-contact voltage tester (and screwdriver).  I will use it the few times I need it and then give it away since it does have some value.

I understand that the Republicans have more of a problem with Trump than they were aware of, mostly in his appeal to Republican voters who have a high school degree or less.  What they're finding out is that over 70% of those individuals are seriously, almost rabidly, pro Trump.  This is terrible news for people like DeSantis and Youngkin.  This is what happens when you dumb down your base.  They are learning that when you spend all of your time damning the woke culture, you're actually creating a base of Trump loving dropouts.  In other words, by letting a very few people dictate what kind of books are being read in schools, Ronnie D is growing the base that wants to vote for Trump.  Now, how's that for having life bite him in the ass.
