And you get a new voting machine. And you get a new voting machine. And...

 I know it seems to happen every day, but today is my Friday.  Aren't you glad I'm not responsible for calendar updates?  If that were the case, every day would be Dave's day.  Of course, that would be confusing as hell since half of the time I, myself, don't know what day it is.

While there are many who still wear masks when they come into the store, there are many who don't.  Those of us who are fully vaccinated, believe most of those maskless shoppers haven't been within a mile of vaccination station.  Everyone I've talked to so far, hopes they get sick and spend 2 weeks on ventilator.  As more people get vaccinated, the chances of that happening go down since there will be fewer infected people wandering the face of the earth.

An Italian group named Manneskin won Eurovision.  I listened to the song.  Meh.  I suspect this year's competition was rather weak thanks to Covid.

My cucumbers and cantaloupes have sprouted!  Hopefully this year I will get some fruit.

And sine of my rose bushes are in full bloom.  I did send another picture of my roses, but either Gmail is having a problem, which wouldn't surprise me, or my phone didn't send them, which also wouldn't surprise me.

So, does anyone know how you turn a Red state Purple?  Or a Red state Blue?  The answer's rather simple.  First, you let the Republicans of that state vote to have the ballots audited. Secondly, you watch as they hire Cyber Ninja.  After that everything is easy peasy.  All you need to do is look at Maricopa county in Arizona.  Or, Fulton county in Pennsylvania, for that matter.  You see, Republicans can not believe they're losers, no matter how badly they lose an election.  They are so caught up in the wonderment of their own bias, anything other then victory has to be fraud.  And so they lie to themselves, and look for bamboo slivers.  They don't understand that is not the scent of truth they smell, rather, their corpse is beginning to stink.  I never thought I'd end up taking my mask off to smell this.  Of course, those states will all need to buy new voting machines.  We are all going to pay the price for their stupidity.

Tweeting from the Safe Room

My weekend begins today.

I'm pleased to say I didn't have to deal with a single asshole yesterday.  Some not too very smart people, but there's no getting away from them, it's not like I'm walking through a forest of total idiots.

Before leaving the store yesterday, I picked up a large, metal garbage can for dog food since I'm now buying it in 45 lb bags.  The dogs love the new food.  This was a good move.

Yesterday, when I got home from work, I rode 11.18 miles at Lago di Garda and this was after walking over 13,000 steps at work.  It was my fastest time ever for that route, with a lower Relative Effort and a lower heart rate.  Evidently walking so many steps at work is far more beneficial then I had thought.

And, of course, we had another night of Civil Unrest throughout the country.  While there are those who feel we are descending into Hell, we are not.  This is the destruction of the White Republican party.  The MAGA heads who put the Idiot Jerk in the White House are in way over their heads.  They are a minority group who stupidly thought they could dictate their will to the majority.  They will never understand why their power is being taken away.  For that to happen they would need to experience an Epiphany, a realization that they have been wrong about so many things.  Were that to happen they would all be driven instantly insane.  Instead they will wallow around forever in the shallow depths of their cluelessness.

I understand the Idiot Jerk was ushered to a safe room in the basement of the White House, a room that has never been used, and all the time he was asking if the protesters were yelling at him.  This man is one dumb fuck.  Even a poor president would attempt to calm the nation, this fool asks if they're calling him names.  Keep him away from a microphone, his lack of sincerity easily over reaches the grasp of his tiny fingers.  All he seems capable of doing is sitting the corner Tweeting bitterly.  He is what God sent to the Evangelicals.  The Idiot Jerk is not the answer to their prayers, rather it seems he is their destruction.

Anyway, I thought I'd share a pic of my cucumbers plants.  I started them from seeds.  I'm pleased. 

Sometimes you starts things from seeds and you get meh...  The basil I planted is doing fine, my spearmint?  Still waiting.
