Sunrise

 So this morning the temp was 38 (F) when I got up.  Supposedly, we're supposed to get some sort of rain today.  If we do get any, it's not going to be much, barely 1/4 of an inch.  What we need is a long soaker, and that simply isn't in the forecast.  Next week, the forecasters are calling for almost half an inch.  I'll believe it when I see it.

I did work yesterday.  It was very slow.  As a result, I sat at the Flooring desk and caught up on my training.  There was a long recertification class on security and equality, that includes what to do if there is an active shooter in the building.  I don't see the problem of mass shootings ending anytime soon.  The only bright spot was that both Saturday and Sunday are Sundae days.  They give us these little perks if we go so many days with out a reportable accident.  Right now we're at 95 days accident free.  Unfortunately, the perks do not change the mindset that allows people to make stupid mistakes, and, not surprisingly, it tends to be the same group demonstrating their stupidity over and over again.  

Howie's house training is going well.  He still has accidents, but he's also doing a lot of his dirty work outside.  The less I have to clean up, the better things are.  I'm going to order him a number of toys for Christmas.  This is because he's a puppy, and puppies chew.  They also get bored with whatever they're chewing on and move on to something else.  The more they have to chew, the less you have to worry about damaged furniture.  

I took this from the exercise room this morning.

There's a lot of finger pointing going around after the Democrat's devasting loss in this past election.  People need someone to blame.  Someone other than themselves.  Many are asking why didn't more Republicans vote for Harris?  Surprise!  They are never going to vote for the other guy.  A lot of voters thought Republicans would stay home from the polls, when it was millions of Democrats that stayed home instead.  This past election was Hillary 2016 2.0.  We got stuck with Trump back then because of voter apathy, and now we're stuck with the Orange Anus again.  This time it's going to be worse.

The only dimly shining light is that in 2 years there will be midterm elections, and even though it is going to be dim, let's hope that sunrise is brighter than the one we have today.
