 We have a nice, chilly 52 (F) outside and, thanks to a minor cold front that went through last evening, we ain't going to get much warmer.  This is what we should all be expecting for another 3 or 4 weeks.  Cool and rainy doesn't mean you can't plant your garden, it just means that you might be a little uncomfortable while you're transplanting your seedling, or sowing your seeds.

Yesterday was nice.  I got a lot done, including a ride in Germany.  

One thing that was fairly high on the "to do" list, was upgrade my VPN.  I have Panda anti-virus, and it works well, however the VPN that comes with it was.. bad.  Many times it wouldn't connect and occasionally it would block certain websites, like Blogger, or Joe, My God.  Some might ask, "why use a VPN?" well, mostly because I don't want someone decided that I should be tracked.  At present, we have some serious wack-a-doodles in the world, and not all of them are in our government.  Panda has a lot of servers, however some of them are in China, I don't see that as being an advantage.  Even worse, they also have servers in Russia.  So I dropped their VPN and signed up with NordVPN.  Nord has an outstanding reputation.

There's no workout scheduled today.  I like the fact that now all of my workouts are scheduled during the week and that I have the weekends off.

And this came in the mail yesterday.  It will be filled out and mailed this morning!

I went shopping yesterday and was shocked to see that Roma tomatoes went from $1.99 a pound to $2.99 a pound.  Damn!  That's a bit of price hike, isn't it.  Smucker's jelly is now $4.59 for their standard, 17 oz jar.  Prices are only going to go higher.  And, in case you're wondering, Orangie flew down to Mar a Lago this weekend to go golfing... again.  This is his standard modus operandi; shit posting during the week and golfing on the weekend.  In case some of you haven't figured it out yet, he doesn't like America, but then it seems as if he doesn't like any country with the exception of Russia.  Since he doesn't like America, he's not going to do anything to really solve the problems inflation is causing.  Being part of the 1%, inflation doesn't effect him and if it did, he would simply find some what to write it off on his taxes.  

With approval ratings as low as they are, you'd think the Republican party would at least make the attempt to appease the growing anger against them.  Nah.  Rather than attempt at mollifying the general public, they're going to throw as much conservative shit against the wall and hope some of it survives the midterms.  They are totally clueless.  They're fairly certain they're going to lose the House of Representatives, and quite probably the Senate, too.  The likelihood of Orangie being impeached on day one are fairly high, they're hoping that there aren't enough votes in the Senate to remove him from office.  Since they don't learn lessons, I do suspect they're going to be punished so severely by the American people the midterms might be an extermination even for the Republican party.
