Labor Day

 Fresh coffee from my new Krupps coffee maker!  The old Mocca-Master has been stored away, since it still works, at least for the time being.  Eventually, unless something happens to this coffee maker, it will be given away or tossed out.

Cream, no sugar

Today is a holiday.  Rain is in the forecast, so I don't mind working it's only for 5 hours.  I do get holiday pay.  They're also providing pulled pork and pulled chicken for eats.  The only problem will be customers showing up with the expectation that the Flooring Department is going to have sales.  We don't.  I send them to appliances if they want to buy something on sale.

When I got to the store yesterday, I found out that most of our rolled carpet that we cut for customers had been marked down to .01 in preparation for our remodel.  Penny products get thrown out.  The rolls of carpet that are staying are pricier; there's no need to sell cheap carpet that barely pays for its cost.

I saw where a Newmax loser put together a video comparing the size of crowds at Biden speeches with the crowd up in Wilkes-Barre.  Biden's crowds were smaller, but then there were no confederate flags, or Nazi flags, or pictures of people holding their cans of beer.  No one goes to a Biden speech wearing a funny costume, or outlandish hat, or carrying signs perpetrating The Big Lie.  People go to a Biden speech in order to hear the truth.  Those who go to a Trump rally are there to hear him tell them how Mark Zuckerburg went to the White House last week in order to kiss Trump's ass.  I wonder what Markie thinks about that lie?

The truth about revelations

 For some of you this is Hump Day, the middle of the week.  For me?  It's the last day of my Staycation.  Don't worry, I have another planned in a little over three weeks.  Six days are always better then five.

Weather wise?  Today's supposed to be crap.  Showers and thundershowers.  The forecast is not going to change for the next 3 days.  We're going through a mini-broken record of on again, off again storminess.  I do wish the rain would hold off for a couple of days so things could dry off.  Everything is so damp, the ground, itself, seems spongy, and the mosquitos are a blazin', almost to the point where I ready to light some citronella candles in the house.

As many of you know, I like using song lyrics in my books.  Old songs, new songs, lyrics add provide depth in their poetry.  This song has always been a favorite of mine and I'm pleased to say the inestimable Sheila Caine will be performing some of these lyrics from the Nefertiti Stage of The Amon-Ra night club.  Welcome to New Orleans.

One of the many, many fires out in California was started by a gender reveal party.  I found it rather pleasing to see that the couple responsible are now facing numerous charges, including manslaughter.  Good.  Gender Reveal parties are one of those trendy things people have come up with to get their names in the media.  This couple have definitely succeeded.   I doubt very much if they'll ever think about smoke bombs without remember the expense on in particular is going to cost them.

Don't you find it amusing to see Republicans and their allies, so strident in their anti-vax bias, suddenly revealing how much they want their constituents to be vaccinated.  Scalise gets his first shot... and that made headlines.  McConnell's telling people to 'get that shot in the arm.'  The CEO of Newsmax has said Biden's doing a good job fighting the virus.  I guess they've finally realized that dead Republicans can't vote.
