Bones to Pick

 So, it's Tuesday and we've got a week to go before the national election.  Temps outside are in the mid 40s.  The sun is shining brightly.  The forecast is for temps to climb into the upper 60s (F).  Oh, as the days pass, we're going to warm up.  By Thursday, our temp should be around 80 (F).  Is that going to be a trick or a treat?

The plumber is scheduled for 11 this morning.  It's the same plumber I used with my kitchen.  He's fast, and fairly inexpensive.  This should be a simple fix, so I'm expecting him to be gone by 11:30.  Then it's shower time and the beginning of laundry day.  I have many stacks of laundry to do, since the water's been on the ooofff since last Tuesday.  There's also lots of cleaning today.  I now have a puppy and they create dust.

I gave Howie a slice of banana this morning.  Lily loved banana.  Howie?  Well, it was the tater tot all over again.  He may eat it later.  Right now he has a beef bone that I cooked up.  A friend of mine is going to pick up an antler for him the farmer's market this weekend.  He might chew it, might now.  Beef bones are great because the hard enough to deal with his sharp, puppy teeth.  I used to give them to Biggie and Lilly, and they would gnaw on them for hours.

These stones mark where they light the torch for the Olympic games.  It's not much, but it's very important.

The fallout from the Madison Square Garden hatefest is still crashing down around the GOP.  One of the funniest things I've seen about the comedian, was that he was paid to be so racist by the Harris campaign, and those rubes are stupid enough to believe anything.  The fact that his routine was approved by the campaign, and his jokes loaded into the teleprompter?  Those things mean nothing.  Even funnier are those Republican voices whining that the party isn't racist at all.  Sadly, cultists don't see themselves as being racist.  Don't even try to wrap your heads around that one.

And Steve the Grease Trap Bannon was released from prison this morning.  I saw one article that said he was gong to be the October surprise.  Can you hear me laughing now?  He is out on parole, and if he breaks that parole they're going to net his greasy ass and ooze it back behind bars.  I don't doubt that he will be shown Trump's internal polling figures and because he has another trial coming up in a few weeks I'm suspecting that he will be loud, but will temper his message to keep it safely withing the rules so as not to violate his parole.
