Buzz This

 Well, we did get rain yesterday, some in the afternoon, most of it overnight.  In fact, there's still a bit of the drizzly wizzly still falling outside.  I don't mind the rain.  Rain is free, watering my mini-garden costs money.  Within the past 2 months, every one of my utility bills has increased: electricity up $6 per month, natural gas up $2 per month, and water up $4 per month.  These expenses are all easily covered by my paychecks from the big, orange home improvement retailer I work for, but this is not the case for others which may be why we've been hiring a lot of seniors lately.  

If the forecasters are correct, out temps today will only climb into the mid 70s (F) with a 92% chance of rain, however, this weekend we'll be topping off the thermometers in the mid 90s (F) with full sun.  Our next rain event will be arriving on Monday, that is if the forecasters are right.

Buzz Lightyear didn't hit expectations on when it opened this past weekend.  I will wait for to watch it when it hits Disney +.  I understand a lot of phony Christian /Conservatives are blaming a fleeting, lesbian kiss.  You have to remember that these parents and grandparents have turned Disney in a babysitter.   Plop the kids down in front of the TV and all you need to do is cast the occasional eye on them.  These homophobes are now pissed off because their kiddies might learn that there is nothing wrong with two mommies kissing, or two daddies for that matter.

I made some French toast yesterday with homemade bread.  Tasty!  Today I'm going to attempt potatoes with oregano, a side dish which will probably be main for later this afternoon.  That's right.  I usually eat my dinner late in the afternoon.  Meals before bedtime are not the best.

There's another January 6 hearing this afternoon at 3 PM.  I'll be watching.  I understand they're going to touch on Jeff Clark, the Trumpist Scott Perry was pushing to replace the Attorney General in order to steal the election.

I understand more subpoenas have been issued in regard to January 6.  Very interesting.  Republicans are really beginning to hate these hearings.  Democrats are allowing Republicans to make high level Republicans look reprehensible.  

One of those subpoenaed was Mo Brooks.  The Orange Anus saw him as a Golden Child, until Mo spoke up and said we need to move on and leave the 2020 election behind.  Suddenly his favorability ratings were shot to Hell.  Rumors are now swirling that he will testify, but only on live television.  Translation:  he's going to go for the throat.

As for blubbery Ginni setting the record straight and correcting those 'misconceptions?'  I wouldn't count on that happening anytime soon.  She likes to see herself as a behind the scenes mover and shaker.  The idea of having her bacon fried on TV is something she holds in deep disdain.  Besides, there's a limit as to how many times she can wear her stylishly red cardigan in public, and no other color picks up the roses in her cheeks as well as red.

Epic

 Good Morning. 

The Cyclone Bomb, i.e. Nor'easter brushed us yesterday.  Not a lot of rain here.  But wind?  Yes, with some fairly strong gusts.  If the temperatures were colder, this would ripping the leaves from the trees.  The wind's supposed to die down today.  I don't really care since I'm scheduled for an 8 hour shift at the store.  Though from my point of view, the wind is good because my leaves blow across the street into my neighbor's yard.

I went to see "Dune" last evening.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  When buying my ticket, I told the guy at the concession stand that I had read the book over 45 years ago and received a blank stare.  He told me he'd seen it and thought it was fine.  Translation: there was serious narrative in between the action sequences in which the dialogue is important.  Words have meaning.  Their purpose is to move the story forward rather than loosely set the scene for the next car chase / fight scene between the good guys and the villains.   This film is epic.

I saw where Loser #45 lost another skirmish in trying to get his Twitter account back on line.  Good.

Also, that dumb ass fascist Mo Brooks has said he, himself, was not involved in any of the meetings with the insurrectionists though some of his staff may have been in attendance.  This is one of those phony confessions where he, like so many other failed Republicans, is put the blame on someone else.  They all do it when they're caught.  Why are Conservatives so spineless?
