Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Trainwell

 So, our overnight temp did not drop below freezing.  This is good when you want the snowpack to melt.  It's also a very good sign that spring, which is only 19 days away, is going to be here sooner rather than later.  That doesn't mean we here in Central PA are going to have cold spots, in fact we are going to have 2 today and tomorrow when our daily highs will not get out of the mid 30s (F).  However, by next Tuesday and Wednesday we should be up in the low 70s (F).  Since I don't work those days, I plan on getting a little yardwork in.

And I did manage to sell 3 measures yesterday in spite of how slow the store was.  We are well over $100,000 under plan for the week.  I will be hitting my sales go and my measure goal, however, that should keep management happy for a while.  I also get to work today.  I'm hoping it will be another slow day.  I have no problem spending 8 hours getting laps in.  Steps are good.

Since we're starting a new month, sometime later this morning, possibly when I'm at work I will be reactivating my Trainwell subscription.  What the past 2 months have proven to me is that I do need those daily notes, and texts reminding me that a workout needs to be completed.  I don't know if it's my age, but I do seem to be becoming a rather lax individual when it comes to working out. 


And the Iran issue continues to be the headline attraction for Orangie, and he has, momentarily pushed the Epstein files onto the back burner.  However, it's quite possible he's jumped from the frying pan into the fire.  One thing that has changed is that now Orangie is telling the world the attacks on Iran were for regime change.  This is coming form a guy who's constantly lying about tariffs, and who's failing to convince the American people that other countries pay them.  Regime change has never worked.  History proves this point over and over again.  But then Republicans and Conservatives have never been too smart.  They think all that they need to do is say "shut up, we're in charge," and the people will listen.  They are simply not prepared for the consequences.  I saw where the Netanyahu's government has said there will be no "boots on the ground."  Well, we all know that's horseshit.  The only way that would happen if the Iranian Army would suddenly start shouting "Yippee!  Skippy!  We're glad you're here."  They are already forming another hardline government.  The GOP and the Israelis just don't understand that those Iranians are just like the parties that are in power in both the United States and Israel, though the Iranians don't have people who suffer from bone spurs in charge.
