Epstein Files Non-Release

 This morning out outside temp was 39 (F).  That's chilly, however we no longer have winds, and yes, we did have wind yesterday.  Gustiness prevailed through most of the day and evening.  Supposedly several banks of snow flurries moved overhead.  If that happened, I missed them.  No loss.  There will always be more.  If the weather forecasters are correct, out temps should remain in the upper 40s (F) to low 50s (F) for the coming  week, in fact, if this weather pattern holds we'll have the same temps well into December.

Being Sunday, no workout was scheduled, however I was scheduled to work a full shift at the Orange Home Improvement retailer I that pays be to be a flooring specialist.  I made clam chowder for my lunch break.  It was New England, rather than Manhattan, a big difference.  While it was tasty and delicious, potatoes and clams really aren't very filling, and because I was bored, I ended up snacking.   While that is not the bane of my existence, I'd say it's fairly close.  Because business is so slow, staffing was at a minimum, so there really weren't a lot of associates to converse with.  I did my laps and got in my required number of steps, but that's about it.  I hit my measure and sales goals for the week.  That's all that matters as far as management is concerned.  One thing of note; they still set up that lead generation table everyone hates, but it gets shut down after 2 to 3 hours.  Scheduled associates simply do not show up.

I do have a workout this morning.  

One thing of note:  Since I eliminated Disney, Hulu, and Amazon Prime from my streaming services, I went looking for something else and found Mubi.  This service has not bent the knee to the Orange Anus, and their selection of films and show is simply amazing.  If this works out well, I may consider BBC-1 especially since it will be airing the Russel Tovey series.  It's better to watch it on BBC-1 rather than Disney.

Of course the big political news is that the Orange Anus has pulled a TACO on the Epstein files.  Of course (#2), there is so much speculation whirling around his decision you'd think that the gale force winds we had yesterday are now swirling around Washington, or should I say Mar a Lago?  Some say he's had this change of heart opinion because Pami Joe Bondi had over a 1000 agents scrub his name from all of the documents, or at least black it out with a redaction marker.  But the files consist of more than just written words, there are thousands of video and sound recordings.  Then there are others who feel he understands that the votes were against him, remember they call him TACO for a reason.  If this is the case, then he probably has something else up his sleeve to take the nation's attention away from his pedophilia... say a war with Venezuela.  Then there's always the possibility his administration believe the MAGA cultists will no longer be triggered by the thought of him raping girls; Meg Kelly did say there's a big difference between having sex with a 15 year-old and a 4 year-old.  By the way, that idea of Megs went over like a rock balloon.  And then there's the idea that because he told Pami Jo to open a new investigation they will use that as the excuse to not release the files.  I'm leaning towards the latter, since he can use that delaying tactic out for years if he wants.
