The Oafish Lout

 We have 2 days of cool weather forecast for here in Central PA.  Notice I said cool.  Highs are to be in the low 40s (F), which for you in the Celsius world is about 5.5, and that's only for the next 2 days, after that we're going to be warming up again.  That's not bad since we're halfway through February... oh, wait, it's a leap year, so we'll be halfway through in another few minutes.  This means we have just 33 days until spring.  My, wasn't that a fast winter?

So, I went to PetSmart yesterday and left snailless.  This means I'm going to have to take a trip down to That Fish Place next week for snails and fish. I don't mind some algae on the statuary since the green sort of gives it that "deep sea" look.  The new statue will go into the tank tomorrow.

Oh, and yesterday was Valentine's Day and, since it is one of those artificial Hallmark holidays, I don't really celebrate. Let's be honest here, if you need to set aside one day to officially remind yourself to tell someone that you love them, you're pretty much of an oaf.   And, if the only time of the year you get told you're loved is on Valentines Day, you're in a relationship with a lout.  Wow!  How's that for vocabulary enhancement?

For those who don't know, back when I was in college, I was involved in theater.  One of the things I did was set design for several of the shows.  This is part of the set that I built for Damn Yankees, a staircase that's used 3 times in the entire production.  At no time did the director ask me if I thought we really needed this staircase.  While I will admit to being naive back then, I will freely admit that I was neither an oaf or a lout.

One of the funny things from yesterday was seeing Mikey Johnson, faux Speaker of the House, telling the world that Tuesday's special election was not a bellwether election.  That's a "ho ho" funny if I ever heard one.  

The Orange Anus is back in court today, up in New York, I believe.  If I'm right, this is the case regarding the money he paid to Stormy Daniels to keep her quiet during the 2016 election.  And Stormy is, I think, going to bring her cloudy weather into the court room to publicly rain on Donny T's parade.  You can tune in if you want, but I'm fairly certain he's not going to do his Streisand impression.
