His boots were made for walkin'

 I thought that yesterday we were going to pop up into the low 30s (F), I was wrong.  Our temps crested at a cool 38 (F).  Today we'll reach the 30s (F) and tomorrow rain drops into the picture.

Business in the store was actually moderate yesterday.  Our clientele is changing, mostly because we now have two large teaching hospitals (one calls itself a medical center) within 5 miles of the store.  At present, I'd say that Asians make up about 20% of our business, Spanish speaking people another 20%, and Europeans (mostly Slovakians) another 15%, and they do not see Sundays the way many traditional Americans see Sundays; they don't sit home and watch football on TV.  They watch soccer and cricket (mostly soccer).  Since most Premier League games are telecast earlier in the day, these people come out in force Sunday afternoons and evenings.  That's why, even though sales were only moderate yesterday, I managed to get 2 measures.  Management should be very happy.

I bought a new blood pressure cuff that sinks with the Garmin app in my phone and on my computer.  My BP is up a bit, and is a reinforcement that I do need to take off a few pounds.  Since I've already been working them off by the ounces, I'm not worried.

And, of course, the big news yesterday was that his white boots were really made for walking.

Let's be honest, his was a campaign that was made to fail.  This was written in stone right from the very beginning, with his embarrassing campaign announcement on Twitter.  For those who don't remember, it stuttered, and stammered, and then crashed because Elon Musk demonstrated his incompetence publicly.  Ronnie's campaign died because, like every other Republican obsessed with being president, he failed to read the American people.  While picking a fight with Disney was the stuff of conservative cultist's erogenous dreams, most Americans saw his actions as petty and stupid.  Ronnie passed laws that banned books and tried to re-imagine slavery, saying it wasn't that bad and that some slaves learned trades without understanding that most Americans looked at him and saw an asshole.  And, of course, he did wear those white boots.  Just what was he thinking?  Evidently, not much.
