Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Compassion

 Thursday.  Temps are predicted to be about 2 degrees (F) higher than yesterday which was 92 (F).  For those who are prepared to whine, I hate to tell you but that's a normal summer temperature for Central PA.  We haven't hit 100 (F) yet.  It's also normal for our temps to climb that high.  Tomorrow we're suppose to reach the upper 90s (F), but then the Fahrenheit is forecast to drop back for daily highs in the mid 80s (F)

Yesterday was one of those days of accomplishments I'm happy with.  Weight training, a bike ride, cleaned the living room aquarium, and words written on the new book.  I also managed to move to another level on Star Wars: Jedi Survivor.  I'm always pleased to advance.

Hopefully, sometime this morning I'll get my front lawn mowed.  It's pretty tall, and if we get more rain it's just going to get taller.  The last thing I want to do is get out my weed wacker to cut it low enough so I can mow.

Here's a picture of one of my roses.  They're starting to bloom again, but for some reason all of them are smaller than before.  It's a little blurry, but that doesn't effect the bright color at all.


In case you hadn't heard, Hunter Biden's plea deal fell apart yesterday.  For a while the Republicans were whooping with glee, that was until Mitch McConnel had TIA in public.  All of a sudden, Hunter Biden was old news.  I've watched the clip a few times of him freezing up mid-sentence and it's really weird.  I'd truly feel sorry for the man, but I suspect this is all part of his Karma.  I was pleased to see that Biden called him to see if he was alright; that's todays Republicans would never do.  In fact, it's being pointed out how when Biden tripped over a sandbag he took the brunt of substantial mockery from Republicans, while with McConnell Democrats are offering concern and consideration and compassion.

Will today be indictment day?

  1. I felt bad for Mitch but it's just another sign that these old geezers in Congress need to get out; all of them, both sides.
    I don't wanna see Mitch freeze, and I don't wanna see Feinstein wheeled into the building any longer.

    1. I agree completely! Feinstein is going to be remembered for her current failure, rather than what she accomplished during her tenure.

  2. I don't mind Hunter Biden, but there is something about him I don't completely trust. And McConnell should step down. When you go blank like that...something is going on. It was painful to watch. And ehy would you want to be in the public eye like that? Maybe he and Fienstein can go together. They politicians are staying in way to long.

    And I agree about the heat. This is nothing so far for summer.

    1. I've always suspected Hunter to be the black sheep of the family, probably because Beau did everything right.

      It is quite humid out, so maybe we'll get another storm and I'll have to mow my grass again next week.

  3. Love the rose!
    It's gonna be in the nineties here today, so I feel you.
    The whole Hunter Biden deal was big news for a hot minute. He's got another deal now?
    And The Turtle is getting messages from the president and the Dems. THAT is how you do it. I watched the moment on video and it was WEIRD...
    And should we bring out the popcorn today? One can only hope...

    XOXO

    1. It was new for a Hot Minute, but then Mitch became a scene stealer par excellence.

    2. A friend of mine who's a nurse is pretty sure a very weak stroke was what hit McConnell. He noticed his lips dipped downward, and redness around his lips and nose area...signs of slight stoke.

  4. The McConnell thing was quite bizarre. And then he came out later to say everything was fine.

    1. I watched the video several times and I have to agree with some of the authorities that he was having a mini-stroke.
