Bluntness

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

Merli

The outside time was 40 (F)  when I got up this morning.  Supposedly we're going to warm up into the low 70s (F) today.  That may happen.  They're calling for possible showers this evening, and then the cold front finally arrives.  While none of our predicted cold temps are down in the 30s (F), if things play out the way they're predicting, night time lows in the 40s (F) will now be standard.  So, a month after its official start, Autumn has finally arrived.

I worked yesterday.  Mondays are usually fairly busy because most of our contractors come in and make their purchases for the week.  This means most departments hit their Monday forecast.  Flooring was no exception.  I got 2 measures, one for carpet and one for vinyl planks.  The customer having the vinyl planks installed said she was hoping the install would be completed by Thanksgiving.  It will probably be done by then, but I did caution her to no rule out the possibility of delays. 

Today's going to be laundry day and bread day.  Oh, and a bike ride is scheduled for this afternoon.  While I was at work yesterday, cousin stopped in.  He's four years younger than me, but looks 4 years older.  He was surprised when I told him how much I work out.  This is why I can pass for someone younger.  To be honest, I do enjoy the reactions I get from people when I tell them how old I am.

I've been watching Merli Sapere Aude on Netflix, with English subtitles, of course.  Even though it's 4 years old, it's still quite timely.  Interestingly enough, I can still understand some of what they're saying and that after over half a century since my last Spanish class.  Perhaps it's time for a refresher.



And a day doesn't seem to pass without a new atrocity from Orangie's administration.  It is constant, and seems to be never ending.  And each day I'm surprised at just how far out of touch with the American people these desperate conservatives are; they are delusional.  Take the partial destruction of the East Wing of the White House so Orangie can build a ballroom/convention center.  The only ones who want this addition to the White House is the party of selfishness and greed, they are also the only ones happy to see the destruction of American History in order to make a buck, and it really is all about the bucks.  Honestly, the party in power does not understand that they are the Titanic sailing in iceberg filled waters, and instead of having lookouts on the mast, they're all down in the lobby playing Duck, Duck, Goose.

  1. Well, I'm glad that Peaceful No Kings Protests are numbering in the Millions to show just how fed up America is becoming with this whole shitshow of absolute fuckery. I have a lot of concerns about how much damage control it will require after the carnage he's already wrought. Our Young People have to Inherit this mess and be the Cleanup Generation and Fixers. I have Faith, from those Young Generations I've talked to, that they intend to Be The Change. Our Generation of The Resistance like myself wanted to Be The Change, sadly, I do not see it happening in my Lifetime tho'.

  2. Oh yes.
    Merlí is fab. They switch between Català and Spanish all the time (that's why some things may escape you, your Spanish may be ok, but Català sounds exactly like Spanish but it is another Romance language. Carlos Cueva, whos in Merlí, it's also in Smiley. You should check him out.
    And the whole East Wing destruction (I would not call it 'remodel') is just a too-on-the-nose metaphor for what Cankles is doing to this country. Ugh.

    XOXO
