The Good Thing

 Well, we did have rain yesterday afternoon.  We had a lot of rain.  Inches. I'm going to guess at least 4 inches fell in about an hour's time.  This storm was the reason certain parts of New Jersey are under a state of emergency because of this storm.  Certain areas of New York City were flooded as well.  The temps did drop afterward, but today's forecast is for the humidity to climb, so that this afternoon there will be, once again, the potential for heavy rains.

On result of the heavy rains was that my backyard did flood.  Outside the back door the water was about 2 inches deep.  Howie has no problem with rain or puddles of water, however he did decide to dig a hole and in doing so created made his self rather muddy.  Fun and joy commenced when  he came back into the house.

For me, yesterday was both eventful and noneventful, mostly because I ended up sitting at Faulkner Subaru for 3 hours.  No, my Crosstrek wasn't in need of repairs.  The original plan back in 2018 was to buy a car that was going to last for 15 years.  Well, I realized 7 years into the plan and had to put 4 new tires on my car that maintenance was going to get very expensive. It was also going to need new brakes.  And we do have these stupid tariffs; prices will go up and the probability of them coming back down is slim to none.  So, on days when I was working, I began searching.  I ended up choosing a Subaru Outback, much bigger than my Crosstrek.  As always, the color was very important.  I went with a color called Mahogany Pearl, or, as I've been telling people:  Purple.

From what I did see yesterday, the big news was that Charlie Kirk, the Cultist with no upper lip, flip-flopped on the Epstein problem.  After calling for every bit of the Epstein files to be released, this lipless wonder now says that we should move on...  Of course, this flip came after he received a personal phone call from the Orange Anus.  I'm betting that call was filled with coercive threats rather than casual requests.  Right now the question is whether Kirk's followers will drink the Kool-Aid.  Some may, but many, I suspect, believe so deeply the Epstein files will prove George Soros and high ranking Democrats are child traffickers, that it has now become one of their core values.  Crushing that belief will crack them apart mentally.  This is a good thing.
