Living the Dream

 We had rain overnight. This is good.  We are in the hole when it comes to precipitation.  According to Accuweather we are entering a rainy period and, again, this good.  Temps are not expected to vary much from lows in the mid 30s (F) to highs in the mid 40s (F).  Could we be in a holding pattern until winter zooms in, or is this winter going to be like fit in the pattern we've been in for the the past 5 years?  Were the colder temps of last year an exception.  I'm betting so.  I've always felt that climate change was going to change the eastern seaboard of the United States into a rain forest.

Yesterday was fine.  Several loads of laundry were washed and I got in a decent bike ride back in Corsica.  That ride has become one of my favorites.  There are hills I use to get my cardio up, and valleys that help take the stress off of my legs.  

Today's has already been busy.  I've got a loaf of bread in the works, and I'm about to run upstairs and throw a load of laundry into the washer.  My reminder that I've got a workout schedule has just flashed across my watch.  

Since The Body in 4:4 Time takes place in Laurel Lakes, Eli and Max's stomping grounds, I have the ability of reprising several characters from my first book.  Margaret Stanley, the matriarch of Laurel Lakes puts in an appearance, as well as Henderson, the red-headed police detective.  And, not surprising, he is still just as much of a prick who is quite unhappy that murder happened outside of his jurisdiction.

Howie's living his dream of Play Hard, Sleep Hard.

Of course, bot the House of Representatives and the Senate voted on the Epstein files directive yesterday and it passed overwhelmingly.  Now it's waiting for the Orange Anus to sign it into law.  Do not hold your breaths waiting.  He's already put a delay on it, saying that he wouldn't sign it while the murderous Saudi prince was in Washington.  And after this excuse, there will be another.  Orangie is not happy.  While the GOP will publicly stand behind him, the fact that they had their asses handed to them during November's elections has not gone unnoticed.  They understand that the Orange Anus was the main reason they lost so badly.  Orangie is no longer Teflon Don.  As someone who was alive when Teflon first made its appearance on pots and pans, I can tell you it wasn't that great.  After a certain amount of use, it began to scratch and peel away.  Within one to two years you needed to throw out that pot or pan because everything began sticking.  And Orangie?  Because his popularity is failing like a stone in a pond, he has become a terrible liability.  The truth Republicans don't want to face is that the longer he delays signing the legislation, the more they will have to deal with his failing approval rating.  Orangie is in the process of destroying the Republican party because they actually believed their own propaganda.
