The Save Act

So we're at 36 (F).  That's not a bad temp for sunrise.  We do have some extensive cloud cover and a bit of rain is on the way.  There's nothing wrong with that.  At some point things will begin drying out as well. This is my way of saying that my back yard is muddy.  Lucky for me Howie hasn't decided to dig any holes.

Yesterday was rather uneventful.  I cleaned.  I did laundry.  I worked on the book.  What I didn't do was my Tuesday workout.  Tuesdays are supposed to be ride day and instead of climbing onto the saddle, I ate cheesecake.  That's right, when I did my grocery shopping I picked up a cheesecake. By the end of the day all of those fat calories were nestled comfortably in my stomach.  As a result, I'm not going to be stepping on the scale this morning.  

My Wednesday workout is going to be delayed because I have an eye exam this morning.  This happens every February.  This is the time of year I buy myself new glasses.  Last year I keyed in my prescription wrong and had to throw the glasses away.  This means that the glasses I'm wearing now have a prescription that's 2 years old, and I see fine.  In fact, I switch off these glasses off with the ones I bought 3 and 4 years ago and don't have a problem.  I guess this means that my eyes are changing much as I get older.  I will have to go through the dilation process because I do have borderline glaucoma.  I have that for almost 10 years now and nothing has changed.

RFK Jr and Kid Rock posted a semi-nude faux workout video yesterday that ended with one of them wearing pants sitting in a hot tub drinking raw milk.  RFK Jr was the one in pants, and the kid was wearing shorts, the clothing was to insure no one thought the two men were boning each other.  So many people reposted screen shots and the video, itself, in disgust I had trouble scanning Threads without being grossed out.  Instead of posting any of those disgusting pics or videos, I'm offering a pallet cleanser.  Howie running around with a bath towel.

The Republicans have the 50 votes to pass the  Save Act thanks to Susan Collins, a failed woman who has spent her entire political life struggling to a member of the Republican boy's club.  The Democrats are going to play the filibuster card which means this aberration of a law will need 60 votes to pass.  Susie's going to be voted out after this term.  Susie should have been more concerned about representing the people of Maine rather than being accepts as part of the Republican establishment.

CBS is saying the reason they didn't want James Talarico on Colbert was because they'd have to give equal time to his opponents.  The truth Republican candidates are unpopular since all they do is parrot the Orange Anus. That and the fact that they might be questioned and put on a spot makes them bad guests.
