Flak

Okay, so today is finally my Friday, unfortunately my weekend only lasts for one day.  Then it's back to work for another 4 days.  Not that much is probably going to be accomplished.  Our most $$$ productive aisle is going to be shut down in order to do a reset: new racking, new displays, new products... and it just happens to be our vinyl flooring / laminate / hardwood aisle.  Oh, dear is me, I should have taken some vacation time.... No.  Because of the slowness of the season I'm only being scheduled 32 hours per week.  That's fine with me.
And, as I wend my way through the first edit / reading of The Body in the Well, I include certain teeny weeny details... like who gets to carry the Baretta.
Not this one:

This one:

Oh, my, I think I just dated myself, didn't I... did I just make a pun?

Anyway, I read where Crazy Al Dershowitz spit out some inanity about the Idiot Jerk in the  White House... about even if he's found guilty he should remain in office for the rest of his term.  Also, depending upon who you're reading, this ding dong dandy is either intimately involved with the defense team... or he's only an adviser circling in some far flung orbit.  Personally, I think Al's main goal is to send up Flak.  For those who don't know, the Nazi's started using Flak in WW2 and is the detonation of hundreds of smaller explosives around bombers and other enemy aircraft, the main purpose being to make them crash.  This sounds about right for the Idiot Jerk's defense team.  There's no way they can win on truth.  In case you don't know what Flak looks like, here's a pic.

This is probably the best picture you're ever going to get of their defense strategy.

And finally... Hello Ecuador!  Thank you for reading my blog!

Mask this

Well, here it is Wednesday... time to go back to work.  But only for 4 days.  I'm off again on Sunday.  The funny thing is that yesterday seemed a lot like Sunday.  In fact, here of late, none of my days seem like days of the week, they're just time off.  I do hope this isn't an age thing: not really caring which day of the week it is... or was.
I saw where the Idiot Jerk in the White House tried to do some backpedaling... and failed.  He just can not admit that Russia has been attacking our election system.  He loves Vlad.  His dear Vlad would never do anything to hurt us.  He wants to be friends.  This is why he can only, kind of put the blame on Russia, "it might have been others."  Yesterday he shit on Democracy with one of our greatest enemies.  Never let him forget it.
In case some of you are wondering what I did with my old crank, well, I'm using it as a decoration... sort of...  A friend at work said I should try and turn it into a lamp.  I have no idea what my crank would look like as a lamp, and have no intention of trying to make it into one.  Instead, I've hung it from a shelf in the cycling, workout, computer room.  Next to the Ecuadorian Tribal Mask my grandmother brought me from...  Ecuador.  Everybody in my family hates this mask.  I like it.

Don't you think it looks a bit... cranky?
I also went to the dentist yesterday... six month checkup.  They want me to spend a whole bunch of $$$ for dental work.  I have a number of fillings.  They tell me there's absolutely nothing wrong with those fillings.  However, they'd like me to replace those fillings with expensive crowns because they're running a business.  Every time I open my mouth for my dentist he says "crown, crown, crown, bridge, crown crown."  And I say, "nice try, looks like you lost a few pounds."  One of these days when he does his little crown routine, I'll pop on my Ecuadorian and scare the shit out of him.
