Bluntness

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

Howie on the Bed

 Holy Schmoly, our high today is predicted to be in the low 80s (F).  That's very warm weather for October.  Tomorrow will be just a sunny and warm.  I'm off today!  Work tomorrow.  My next day off after today will be Thursday, and weathermen are forecasting the temps to drop dramatically, with the high being in the low 60s (F)

I did work yesterday.  It was so boring.  I talked to 2 customers about getting their rooms measured for carpet installations, but they were just beginning their flooring adventure.  I cut some blinds for customers.  Just as I was about to leave, a woman showed up at the flooring desk and wanted to change the carpet for her install.  She picked a carpet that was very inexpensive and I did all the changes, but she decided to hold off on the purchase.  My policy has always been to not push.  Spending money is always a personal decision.  What can I say?  My sales are very good even though I don't hit all the requisite sales buttons my bosses would like me to hit.

Resolution has been reached on the Squarespace mystery charge.  I bought the domain name Ridingon.bike some years ago from Google.  Sometime during the summer, they began selling ownership of the domains to Squarespace.  They did notify me and I mentally filed it in the unimportant category.  Three weeks ago, without notification, Squarespace charged me a renewal fee.  Google always let me know about the renewal, giving me the option to opt out and migrate my blog back to Blogger.  Squarespace didn't.  So, I migrated the blog myself.  Had they notified me in advance, I'd have paid the charge, now they've lost my business.

Since it's Tuesday, I thought I post a picture of Howie on the bed.


With 2 weeks until election day, I need to warn everybody that the Cultists are going to be doing their most deceitful work.  On Zitter and Threads, their bots are going to be posting fake poll numbers.  Jake Silver over on 534 is going to be pushing bongo bongo bullshit.  Stay steadfast.  Don't let your mind falter or worry.  We have this.  Boy do we have this.  Main Street Media wants a horse race.  This isn't it.  But you do need to prepare yourselves because the Republican party is going to throw so much shit into the fan it will be difficult to avoid being splattered.  Just remember, that's all they have... shit.

  1. DO NOT BELIEVE POLLS.
    The only poll you need worry about is the ballot box.
    CAST A GODDAMNED VOTE.

    1. One hint as to how well the candidates are doing is to look where they are holding rallies.

  5. Polls are bullshit.
    I've followed your advice to not pay attention to them and my life has been better ever since. As for Twitter, it's gonna be a dumpster fire of misinformation. That's Elmo's purpose and MSM's hope. They want ENGAGEMENT.
    And that doggie is too cute!!!

    XOXO

    1. Zitter is collapsing, good. And a lot of people seem to think Musk's support for Trump has a lot to do with Diddy... and other things.

  6. Oh Howie, you are totes adorable. I haven't dealt with Squarespace before but it is good to know these details in case I need a new web host. And I am so much happier not buying into the polls. Thanks, Dave.

    1. Adorable and getting spoiled the the minute. Square space was a lesson in learning. If I were to start selling my books from home it would come in handy, but I'm not planning on doing that.

  7. Precious pup Howie :)
    The greedy Repubs will stop at nothing.
    Our county in California, red part of the state, we have a trump supporting, self described constitutional sheriff, the sheriff office is responsible for guarding the county election offices during the vote count. I can picture the republicans in blue states, like our dear sheriff, throwing wrenches into the works on election night and the weeks following.
    It’s going to be a memorable election on Nov 2024, vote true - vote blue ! -Rj

    1. They are going to try, but I'm fairly certain Harris and her team are prepared for anything.
