The Truth about Compliments

 Good morning.  Our outside temps are a not so cool 70 (F).  The forecast has changed.  Over the past few days those guys who predict the weather told us that tomorrow was going to be the hottest day of the week.  Now they've decided that today is going to be hotter than tomorrow.  So, instead of topping off in the mid 90s (F) tomorrow, out high today will barely crack the low 90s (F).  The odds for rain tomorrow have stayed the same, 55%.  We could use a sprinkle or two, but I doubt if that will be happening any time soon.  While we don't have the heat of August, we do have the lack of precipitation.

I got a decent upper body work out in yesterday.  A bunch of writing was done.  And then I went in to work and meh happened.  Nothing.  As I expected, our store didn't make plan last week.  We missed by over $100,000. This is how it goes.  Believe it or not, they should be setting up our Halloween display and I'm interested to see how extensive it will be.  This may surprise some people, but us, Halloween is just as big, if not bigger than Christmas.  All of our Halloween and Christmas decorations come from China, however, I did see yesterday that the Orange Anus pulled another TACO with the Chinese tariffs.

I did sign up for one of the $15 BJs memberships, so this morning I'll be heading over to pick up my card and check out the savings.

I've been listening to a lot of Matt Maeson lately.  Here's his latest.  He has a great range.

As expected, the Orange Anus had the Federal Government take over (sort of) Washington DC yesterday.  I watched so many snips and clips of his speech while at work yesterday (I told you it was boring) it was quite easy to see he's not in charge.  Nope.  Not at all.  He rambles incoherently.  He said he's going to Russia several times, he's not, he's going to Alaska, which  used to be owned by Russia.  So, I don't really think he's running the show, which makes that meeting he's having with his blo bro Vlad bad.  Every world leader knows that a simple compliment and he'll give you whatever you want.
