The Ticket

Okay, so yesterday I added water and cleaned the fish tank.  The cleaning bit wasn't supposed to be difficult, just scoop out floating plant debris, and wouldn't you know it, the second I stuck the net in the water 3 fish swam directly into it.  In fact, they kept swimming into it.  So, it took a little longer than I had been expecting.  Dumb fish.

And, of course, there Kamala.  She's a big problem for the White Republican Party.  They were prepared to issue mini-attacks, but then there were prepared for just about any person Biden might choose.  Pence uttered some sort of nonsense about seeing her at the debate.  Duh.  She was chosen for a number of reasons, one being her aggressive, prosecutorial style she had already demonstrated in debates.  There will be a low, rumbling roar as white Evangelicals drop to their knees in prayer as she fillets his words and actions.  Mike, the android man, will lie, and she will call him on it.  As far as the White Republicans are concerned, this was the worst choice Biden could make.  Kamala's aggressive.  She will bullet point every one of their shit stained lies.

And that's not the only problem White Republicans face; there's a serious decline in Conservatives, or a least those who identify as Conservatives.  Remember Dave's axiom:  A popular president can move the country to either the left or the right, an unpopular president will always move it in the opposite direction.  The Idiot Jerk in the White House proves daily that Conservatives are selfish, self-centered, and ugly as hell.  No matter how desperate they are, they will not be able to force their will upon the American People.  They do not understand they are are feeding their own defeat.

Anyway, it's Wednesday.  I'm about halfway through my vacation and I've already finished most of the chores I wanted to get done.  One of the things I did was order a new waffle iron, actually it's a combo type thing, waffles, sandwiches, you name it.  That should be arriving tomorrow.  I can't wait.  Just as I can't wait to see if Biden's VP pick gives him a bit of a boost in the polls.  I wouldn't be surprised if he goes up another point or two.

Dave's Axiom

Well, it's Saturday.  I get to go back to work today.  For a full 8 hours I will once again be a Flooring Specialist.  When originally written, I was only scheduled for 5 hours.  Things change.  An additional 3 hours doesn't phase me, I'm just glad I looked at my schedule to see the update.

Even though I had planned on yesterday being a rest day, no cycling, I rode anyway.  I'm up to 54.8 miles this week.  I only need to ride 55 miles per week to hit my goal.  That will be reached this afternoon.  I'm going to aim for over 70 miles this week.

I've got over 10,000 words written in The Body in the Loch.  My intention this evening is to start work on Chapter 6, At the Slaughtered Lamb.  Of course, the ending is already fixed.  That's something which will never change.  The only difference between writing a fiction book and writing a doctoral thesis, or writing non-fiction, is I get to make up the stuff between the beginning and the end.  Try that in a thesis and you'll never graduate.

I see where the Idiot Jerk in the White House has postponed his first rally by a day.  Some boner brain in Facebook said it proves he's not tone deaf.  Nope.  He doesn't care what the majority of Americans think, his only concern is is base.... and his ever sinking approval rating.  Some wise guy, obviously not that racists Stevie Miller, more protests were going to make his chances of getting re-elected even bleaker, not that moving to one day later is going to help.

And the RNC is going to leave their 2016 platform completely intact, even the criticisms of the current president and his administration (in 2016 it was Obama).  Now, tell me, isn't that a half-assed way to run things?  Surely that document has to be on Word.  Of course, maybe they'll just print it off and use a Sharpie or a Crayon to cross out the maligning words.

And for those who didn't see this, voter turn out in Georgia was 3 times what it was in 2016!!!  And that's in spite of the Chaos.  You can bet the GOP didn't see that coming.  America is pissed off.  For those who haven't heard this before, I'm going to tell you Dave's Axiom:  "America is overwhelmingly Centrist.  A Popular president can edge it to either the Left of the Right.  An Unpopular president will always move it rapidly in the opposite direction."  The Idiot Jerk in the White House, and his Cracker Jack Christian / Racist / White Supremacist base is moving America deep into Progressive Territory.  For every action, there is a reaction.  They do this because they believe themselves to be special when in reality they are just plain stupid.

Finally, how about a picture of my peaches?  Some of them are tiny, not nearly as big as a tennis ball, but they will be tasty.
