Disclosure Day

For those of you living in Central PA, we're going to have a beautiful day.  Temps are going to be in the low 80s (F).  Humidity is going to be down.  Tomorrow?  Probably not so nice.  We've got a 59% chance of rain, possibly in the form of a later afternoon thunderstorm.  So, if you're not working, go outside and have a blast.

Yesterday was interesting.  I had breakfast with my brother.  That was interesting.  Despite being polar opposites when it comes to politics, we get along well.  When I got home, I finished and the posted my blog.  And then, I began the publication process.  This is usually an easy process.  Everything was going along ducky until I got to the cover art.  The scanned copy needed to have 300 DPI (dots per inch) and mine only had 195.  Well, hell.  I've never had this problem before.  So I made several attempts at increasing the DPI, including downloading Photoshop.  That only raise the DPI to 212.  I decided to rescan the artwork and lo and behold that's where my problem was.  The Xerox printer/scanner I own allows you to select the level of DPI, either 200, 300, 400, or 500, and I had originally scanned it in at 200.  I rescanned it at 400 and voila!  No problem.  

I went to see Disclosure Day last evening.  I liked it.  A lot.  Some people are having a problem with the last 30 minutes.  Quite probably this is because they were expecting something akin to the ending of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, neither does it have an ET ending.  Perhaps the film is too cerebral for some. The ending is, instead, provocative.  Emily Blunt is outstanding, so is Josh O'Connor.   I will watch it again when it streams.

For those of you who are paying attention to the incompetence surrounding the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, things have gotten worse.  Not only has a fence been erected around the pool, but overnight blue tarps were hung from the fence keeping the public from looking at and possibly taking pictures of the algae growth.

The primaries in New York have rattled a lot of old school Democrats, and well they should be.  Their 1960s playbook has not worked in a long time.  Fresh faces with new, aggressive ideas are needed.

And, of course, we all know that desperate times call for desperate measures, but honestly, I didn't think the GOP would be this desperate.  Last evening, when I got home from the movies, I checked my texts and was surprised to find this in my inbox.  Let's be honest, they must be truly desperate to send this to me.
