Told You So

 Woah, was it windy yesterday!  Of course, since it was garbage day, that should have been expected, especially at this time of year when seasons are in a transitional state.  However, since it was garbage day, gusty winds sent empty garbage cans careening down the street, trailed by empty juice bottles, and soft drink bottles, and the occasional milk bottle.  

The gusty winds are still with us this morning, though the temps are supposed to be much warm, hitting the high 40s (F).  

I did not get the ceiling lamp in the workout / computer room yesterday, though it wasn't from lack of trying.  Where as most of you have 2 wires coming out of your little junction box, a white and a black, I have 4: a white, a black, and then 2 black ones that are old.  Where as you didn't need to worry about polarity with incandescent bulbs, you do with LED lights.  The only way I can check for polarity is with a rather expense tester, not like the cheap one I bought the other day.  Rather than buy one, I'll wait until I have a few more jobs needing to be done and have a certified electrician do the job.

And I have found the first set of lyrics for the next book.  Since I don't listen to SiriusXM anymore, you're probably asking yourselves just where I heard this smashingly great song, so I'll tell you.  Amazon Music.  As I was going through my playlists to see if I wanted to add or delete any songs, Told You So popped up.  I like the song.  They lyrics are great.  They fit.  Give it a listen.  

And for those who didn't see, the Russkies crashed one of our drones yesterday while it was over international waters.  I'd say this is more of an example of Putin lashing out angrily than an actual threat.  His 3 day war has gone on for over a year.  Many countries in the world are give aid to the Ukraine, something he foolishly believed would never happen.  His ego is dealing with the same sort of blender Trump is dealing with, and Putin's upset.  He will never understand how terribly wrong he was to invade.

And, of course, Silicon Valley Bank seems to have started a domino effect.  Deregulation will do that.  Never wanting to admit their deregulation is the cause, Republicans will blame the Democrats.  What will the end result be?  It's difficult to say. I do suspect that those with 401Ks are going to be hurt (aren't they always?).  And the billionaires, too.  Don't doubt they too will be looking for some sort of bailout if the Republicans ever get back into power.
