Density

 The sun is shining in Central PA!  After so many days of overcast skies, it's nice to actually rise and see it shine.  The temps are in the mid 40s (F) and... believe it or not, the days are starting to get longer.  Not by much, mind you, only a few seconds, it won't be until next Monday that the days begin increasing in length by the minute.  This is something to look forward to.

Retail was oh... so, not very busy yesterday.  I do have an example of customer density... yes, that's a nice way of putting it.  I have this customer, let's call her Pam, who owes for a small vinyl job, a little over $900, and yesterday I gave her a curtesy call.  She wanted to pay, however payment screen failed to load.  I called IT support and talked to a very nice technician who couldn't figure out why this was happening.  After a few minutes of investigation, he told me the problem was that she had already paid for the installation back on December 12, her payment, however, had never shown up on my side of the transaction register.  Yes, you read that correctly, Pam paid on December 12... and was ready to pay again 16 days later.  Now, I don't know about you, but had I been Pam, I'd have said "this was already paid for," but nope, she was ready to give me her credit card number over the phone... a second time.  Ouch.

And, as I said, here a pic of the Shepherd's Pie, and I have to admit that I have eaten the entire thing.  The pan is waiting in the sink to be scrubbed clean.

 

And, I'm sure most of you have already seen that Maine has decided to remove the Orange Anus from the primary ballot.  Yep, as it stands right now, MAGAs in Maine will need to write his name in if they want to vote for him to get the Republican nominations for President.  Of course, his cult erupted in anger; that was to be expected.  The GOP has a terrible problem, and they're refusing to even look at it, let alone attempt to deal with it.  The Republicans have believed, ever since Reagan, that there is a Silent Majority of Conservatives waiting to vote the right presidential nominee.  In a way, they're right, there is this majority quietly sitting in their living rooms, or looking at their phones, or scrolling through articles on their computers, however they're not Conservatives, their Anti-Trumpers, and Centrists, and Liberals.  The Republican party doesn't understand that when this silent majority votes, it is the Republican party that is going to be paying the piper.  They will not take it well.  Most cults don't.
