The Bulgarian Split Squat

The overnight temp fell to 32 (F), at least that's what the thermometer said.  When I left Howie out, I did a quick glance to see if anything was frozen.  Nope.  There was no ice to be found.  This doesn't mean our temps weren't as low as the thermometer indicated, just that the actual temp around my house might have been closer to 34 (F) rather than 32 (F).

I did work yesterday and the 5  hours I spent at the store were rather boring.  Monday is meeting day, so my supervisor on paid the flooring desk a very brief visit.  She is by the book.  A company woman.  One thing we're supposed to do is greet every customer with "Welcome to Home Depot."  She does this without fail.  It does not make a wit of difference how long I or one of my associates has been working with a customer, she will greet the customer as if they've just walked in through the front door.  By the way, none of us say it.  My department is in the heart of the store, so by the time customers get to the flooring desk they've already passed by a number of associates.  The fact that someone in corporate believes this is the correct response every time an associate meets a customer tells me that person has never worked in the plumbing aisle, or stood taking orders at the paint desk from the 8 or 9 customers waiting to buy paint.

I did my workout yesterday.  As usual, it went well.  I work through 2 groups of strength training  exercises each consisting of 3 exercises repeated 3 times.  One of those exercises is always squats and another is always deadlifts. I don't mind the deadlifts, but dislike the squats.  My trainer included new exercises, and changed the routine so that one of the groups on the C routine only has 2 exercises.  So I asked him to add a third, and. as I should have expected, it's squats.  So I sent him a text:  Hahaha more squats.  And he replied:  Hahaha no just squats, Bulgarian Split Squats.  For those of you who don't know, this is a Bulgarian Split Squat.  Also keep in mind I just celebrated a birthday 10 days ago.

Not me in the picture

Another reminder, as if you needed one, the House of Representatives will be voting on releasing the Epstein files this afternoon.  It is expected to pass.  The discharge is then set to move onto the Senate, which also must pass it.  This is expected to happen.  Keep in mind, both Kash and Karry Patel as well as Pami Jo Bondi have had agents working to redact Orangie's name.  Evidently the victims names are not being protected, but Orangie's name is.  I'm betting these redacted files will in no way keep people from talking about them.  In fact, they may worsen the situation because just everybody with more than 5 brain cells will realize that something is being hidden.  Republicans still have not figured out that, except for the cultists, Americans are not stupid.  They simply do not understand.  They never will.  This is why the party of Selfishness and Greed needs to be completely voted out of politics.
