Not Sure?!

 Hello world from Central PA!  This morning's temp was a cool 59 (F), which was more than a bit warmer than yesterday's 47 (F).  We do have an Autumn heat wave heading our way.  For the next few days our daily highs are going to be in the mid to upper 80s (F).  Get ready, a lot of people are going to mistakenly call this Indian Summer.  Sorry.  Indian Summer is a warming trend that happens after the first frost, not before.  In 2 weeks, when our daily highs are predicted to be in the mid 60s (F) and our lows in the mid 40s (F) we'll be close, but again, no cigar.  We will probably be in late November by the time Indian Summer rolls around.

I broke down yesterday and went out and bought myself a new keyboard.  Using the laptop keyboard is fine, but it forces you to sit much closer to the monitor and I like to sit back in my chair when I type.  While I like the flexibility of a laptop, taking one to Greece, for example, I prefer an actual PC.  

And while yesterday was slow in a way, I did get things done, like a ride, and laundry, and I baked a loaf of banana bread.  Very tasty stuff.  No pic, however. since I began slicing it up almost the second it was out of the oven. Warm, freshly baked banana bread is so yummy!

Of course, the government shut down continues. As you might expect, everybody and their brother is doing a poll to see just who American's are blaming.  And, as you also might expect, most are pointing the finger at the Republicans.  This is always the case.  What makes these polls interesting is the number of people who are simply not sure.  Like this one taken by The Washington Post.

You do have to keep in mind that this is The Washington Post, owned by Jeff Bezos, who loves him is Orangie in order to get as many tax breaks as possible.  Here, a large majority of Americans are blaming the GOP.  However, what caught my attention was the number of people claiming they are not sure.  Yo!  Get with the program people!  Unfortunately, this country is saddled with a large group of individuals who simply do not pay attention to what's happening with our government.  They are too focused on the trendy.  You know, the ones who waited diligently up until midnight in order to be the first to stream the new Taylor Swift album.  The ones who spend hours lost in the weeds of YouTube.  The ones who see Reality TV as a way to add some spice to their life, and gossip about it at the water cooler at work.  

On the brighter side, the amount of negative press Orangie is starting to get is superb.  You're starting to see the frustration in the faces of his allies.  Caroline Leavitt's lies have become shrill, and more and more she angrily shouts her responses.  Mikey Johnson's smiles have faded and he is spending much more of his time shaking his before he lies.  And Just Dancin' Vance seems to have developed two left feet.  This is all good, because the more they struggle, the more apparent their deceit grows.
