Winter in North Carolina

 Holy Crap!  This morning the outside temp in Central PA was 55 (F).  Need I remind you that we are halfway through November and just a little over a month away from the onslaught of Winter.  Wait, maybe onslaught isn't the right word.  At this point it's difficult to tell if we will be dealing with aa barrage of wind, snow and ice.  Last year's winter was colder than the previous 3 years, but that may have been an outlier season.

Climate change is happening, albeit slowly.  Generally speaking, our planet does not change over night, even though Hollywood would like to entertain the world with this idea.  Change has always taken time.

I did work yesterday.  I also did my morning workout.  Two different sets of squats were included:  the goblet squat and some other exercise that doesn't use the word squat, though it does require you to squat.  So, I sent my trainer a message noting that a squat by any other name is still a squat.  He though that... amusing.

As for my job, I got 2 measures, so I hit my goal.  One is going to be a definite purchase, the second is a blind order, and the customers were pleased that our estimate came in at less than another estimate they already had.  I suspect they will purchase, too.  This make management happy.  I also get to work today.  Sundays are always my long days.  We might be somewhat busy in the morning, but televised sporting events will thin the crowd this afternoon.  When it's really slow I work on the book.  To keep you all updated, Eli and Max have just had a conversation on symmetry.  Now, isn't that fascinating.

I'd said I'd made jerky.  It's delicious.  I ended up with quite a bit, so I'm giving a friend at work some today.

Apparently Orangie left Washington for Mar a Lago again.  I'm surprised he doesn't play Workin' for the Weekend all the time.  Of course, he is a show tune kind of guy.  It's my understanding that yesterday the Broadway score of Phantom of the Opera was blaring though out the White House.  Ugh.  

ICE is in the red state of North Carolina and it seems as if the residents are not very happy.  They're protesting.  And this is in a MAGA state.  Honestly, I, for one, would never have expected North Carolina to be a hotbed of illegal immigration.  However, I may be wrong.  There's also the possibility that thimble brained Krist Noem thought the MAGA voters in the state would welcome a para-military organization with open arms.  No one ever accused her of being intelligent.  Anyway, they're there and they are not welcome.  In fact, I don't doubt that cultists in that state believed that the big problems with immigrants were in Blue states and Blue cities.  This is what happens when you listen to a dementiated old man in a red hat.  I guess winter came early down south.
