Donut Day

We're starting off Wednesday on the right foot because outside we have a nice soaker going on.  The weather map has an extensive blob of green slowly moving over the entire state.  There is the possibility of thunderstorms as well.  Getting soaking rains twice in one week is good for everything.

The results from my CAT scan should be available for me to read tomorrow.  The VA requests 36 hours for the doctor to view them and write his report.   Interestingly enough, the VA has multiple locations where they can do the imaging, and they are not in the same building.  Yesterday I was walked to the building where they do Physical Therapy and Rehab.  For those who've never seen the donut, here's the one I took my 2 minute ride through.  I ;think it looks almost Scifi Fab.

And, of course, yesterday the Orange Anus had his fingerprints taken for the 2nd time as charges were filed against him.  Cameras were not allowed in the courtroom, however from all the reports that I've seen he sat quietly.  Amusingly, today is actually his birthday, so he was lucky enough to get his present a day early.  

As might be expected, Fox News photographed the fake Melania outside the courthouse because...well, it's Fox New, which explains so very much.

One thing that did have me wondering was where were those 50,000 supporters, demonstrators, and protestors.  So many added hours were put on the Atlanta police department payroll to cover them.  In fact, estimates are that only about 500 people showed up, including one man wearing a pig head mask and that the atmosphere was circus-like.  Those numbers must have been terribly disheartening for the Orange Anus after he called for his cult members to rally.  This doesn't mean that about 2/3 of the Republican party have abandoned him, they haven't.  They won't.  That will never happen.  This is how a political party dies.

Note This

 Today is Tuesday and my four day weekly break has begun.  I will be heading down to Lebanon shortly.  Happily, most of the traffic will be heading into Harrisburg, rather than away from it.  That's fine with me.  

Yesterday we had rain.  Lots of rain.  Almost one full inch fell over the region so things are going to start greening up.  I'm excited.  I didn't hear one person complaining.  

And while business at the store was slow, I did manage to get 3 measures.  Management was happy.  I didn't sell anything else, however, which meant for a long, boring day.  I couldn't wait to leave.

Of course, when I did get home, it wasn't as though I had enough time to sit and play a video game.  All of the audio chapters for The Body Under Ice have been uploaded.  I've been taking lots of notes on things that need to be changed.  Like how long the break for a comma, or for a period.  Words that get pronounced oddly, or skipped.  Chapters are not recorded in one sitting, but are actually recorded in bits and pieces which are then stitched together to make a whole.  About 3 times that stitching is a bit rough and will need to be smoothed out.  All of the song lyrics that I included in the book are being removed.  They just don't work in an audiobook.  In fact, this has been a great learning experience.  I now know how much prep work needs to go into a manuscript before it gets recorded.  Here are some of my notes.

And, of course, the Orange Anus is going to be officially indicted today.  Miami is prepping for 50,000 protestors.  If it gets ugly, and that is a very distinct possibility, and if it looks at all like a reenactment of January 6 the Republicans are going to look bad.  No matter how much they want to portray Trump as the victim, they will fail.  Today is probably not a good day to be in Miami.  This is quite likely going to be a shit show that Ronnie D is going to have to deal with... that should be funny.  Does anyone know if he's even in Florida.
