the Pupsicle

This 54 (F) temp this morning is again a bit warm for October.  The Nor'easter we were warned about stayed mostly to the east of us.  We did get some rain, but nothing like they along the eastern seaboard where they got inches in a few hours.  Today's temp is supposed to climb up into the low 70s (F), but then it drops back down into the mid 60s (F) for the rest of the week.  We are, I supposed, officially in Autumn.

I did work yesterday and sold a lot of flooring, and got both a lead and a measure.  I also had my monthly review.  When I was told I did hit my goals I simply said, "you can't get blood out of a rock."  I could care less if she was unamused, which she was.  We also had, at 2 different times, Great Danes visit the department, they are such nice dogs!  We also had a knucklehead walk through with a pistol holstered to his belt; he evidently needed to brag about having a license to open carry.  People like him will never realize carrying a gun in public says more about his shortcomings than anything else.

I watched the last episodes of Boots last night, what a great show.  David Sedaris calls it Full Metal Jacket with humor and I have to agree, except unlike Full Metal Jacket there is no bloody suicide.  It does present an outstanding picture of the fears gay military personnel had over being court martialed and dishonorably discharged, something that ruined many LGBTQ lives.  The show is getting raves on Social Media and has reached #3 on Netflix's most watched list.  It ended with a number of cliffhangers, including George H. Bush announcing that military personnel are being sent to the Middle East for what will become Desert Storm.  Will there be a season 2?  Sony Pictures seems to think so.

Howie got a new toy: a pupsicle.  He wants me to throw it, however it's solid rubber and weighs about 2 pounds, and doesn't bounce.

Of course many, many people were talking about George Stephanopoulos shutting down Just Dancin' Vance yesterday.   He was not happy.  Does anybody care?  He was never really a good bullshit artist, they have to have at least a modicum of charisma.  Just Dancin's just too... pompous.  He reeks of snot nosed superiority.  

And Orangie is in Israel.  People are posting clips of him sitting there, looking like he's about to nod off.  Evidently he didn't get any sleep on the flight over.  He's supposed to give a speech.  I wonder how much of it will be about him, since he's his own favorite person in the world.
