Penalties Will Be Paid

 Well, here we are, another late post.  I had breakfast with my brother this morning, so it's an excusable delay.  Right now our outside temps are 63 (F).  At the crack of dawn we were a bit chillier with our low being at an even 50 (F).  The big question will be if our temp hit the big 80 (F), which is where our forecast has it's sights set on.

Yesterday was somewhat busy.  The Wednesday laundry was done.  I got a 9 mile ride in on Corsica.  I also drove to BJs for a small bottle of wine.  I should set up a spread sheet to calculate just how much money I'm saving simply by purchasing them there.  The membership cost me $15 and so far my savings has been around $21.  An annual membership costs $60 and if I simply buy a bottle of wine every 2 weeks I'll be saving about $130, so that would indicate paying the renewal fee would be in my financial best interests.

Since I had a Denver Omelet for breakfast, today's going to be a salad day.  The omelet itself?  Red peppers were used instead of green, there was some ham, but not enough to provide any real flavor, and the cheese?  I'm thinking they used Velveeta.  It definitely didn't taste like cheddar.  There were hash brown potatoes, too, but you can really screw up frozen hash browns when all you have to do is throw them on the grill for a few minutes.  The one nice thing was that there wasn't an extra charge for the eggs.

I was going to take a picture of breakfast, but forgot, which is probably a good way of describing the meal.  So, instead, here's another failed attempt at a selfie with Howie.  

I saw where Chief Justice Roberts burbled out some sort of nonsense about fearing that Orangie was taking the immunity the Court gave him and using it to destroy Democracy.  Now, isn't that rich?  I'm betting that Johnny boy realizes there is a serious crisis approaching and blame might get smeared all over his name, and his Court.  Fingers will be pointed in many directions when this shit show is over and penalties will need to be paid.  Johnny's court now has a big target on its back.  Why did they give Orangie all of this immunity?  Did they think he might surround himself with people who might manage his corruption?  Or did they just delude themselves into believing he simply couldn't be this bad?

And Orangie's approval rating is still spinning downward in a death spiral.  Only 37% of Americans approve of him.  YO!  All of you authoritarians out there, the big secret of having a successful authoritarian government is having a popular authoritarian running the country.  This is essential.  Putin did it.  Orangie?  All of his bluster and bullshit is continuing to drive his ratings lower.  The only thing he will be successful at is failure.
