Waiting for the Third Strike

Well, here it is, Friday, the first of my two consecutive days off... and boy is it cold outside!  According to Accuweather, the current outside temperature is 12 (F) or -11 (C).  No matter which temperature scale you use - it's frigid!  And, of course, the Idiot Jerk in the White House snidely Tweeted something about Global Warming.  I'd say he's an old fool but since I already know he's an Idiot Jerk that would be rather redundant, wouldn't it?  Won't it be interesting to see how his heirs deal with Mar-a-Lago going under faster than the Titanic on a really, really bad night. 

I have no doubt that the vast majority of his supporters totally agree with him, but that's the kind of consensus you get from one dimensional thinkers.
Since Social Conservative's theology prevents them from acknowledging even the possibility of Global Warming, especially in that man might himself be a factor, they are right there with him.  They don't understand that Karma, or Judgment, or what ever you want to call it is coming for them.  And it's not like they haven't been warned, you know?  Remember Joel Osteen and his total lack of compassion, his total disregard for humanity in the wake of a storm of Biblical proportions?  Not one of these Social Conservatives took a stand and publicly called him out.  Well, that was strike one.  And all of those white Social Conservatives celebrating and supporting Roy Moore and his total contempt for humanity?  That was strike two.  You can believe me, the Universal Pitcher is winding up, preparing to throw another fast ball right in front of their noses.  They might hit it out of the park... nah, we already know that's not going to happen.  It's not in their self-centered, self-appointed superior nature.  Right now, all we're waiting for is that final, third strike.

Kinetic and Mar Lago

So, the new trainer arrived yesterday.  You have no idea how much joy filled my heart when I opened the flaps of the box and saw white packing foam.  Nothing was dumped in the box.  This was brand new.  And, of course, the dogs love getting presents, even when they're for me.  They're dogs, they don't know it's not for them.  All they see is a big, big box.  Mostly they sat silent and watched me unpack the box.

Assembling it was a different matter.  Big Seig wanted to watch close up and on more than one occasion I had to push his head back.  Lily just watched, until I put the bike on it, and the she barked at it.
And what about the Idiot Jerk suddenly jumping on board the Democratic budget wagon yesterday. As soon as I saw that little news flash I knew why, and then I saw Anne Marie had pretty much figured it out when she commented on another blog.  Mar Lago.  That's right.  The Idiot Jerk's beach front vacation wonderland looks like it's going to take a direct hit from Irma.

That surge is going to wash right over that little island.  It's going to smash down door, crash in windows, all the while the winds of what's predicted to be a hurricane downgraded to a 3, rip off roofs.  The Idiot Jerk wants to make sure there's enough Federal Money available for when he needs to rebuild.  The Republicans were no doubt going to tie up those funds with too many restrictions and he didn't want that, so he handed them a big turd,  I suspect this will lead to open hostilities between the two.
