Jonathan Bailey

Our outside temp was 48 (F) this morning and today's projected high is going to be in the mid 60s (F) again.  This is nice.  Tomorrow, our high is going to be up around 70 (F).  That will be nice, too.  I don't work today or tomorrow, so this is fine by me.  If the long range forecast is correct, next week we should be in the upper 40s (F), though we all know how far off long range forecasts can be.

Yesterday was okay, meaning it was better than being so, so.  My VPN was down again, so I told the IT people from Panda that if it happened again I was canceling, and that meant I was going to want a refund.  I know that part of the problem is that while most people use only one search engine, I use both Microsoft and Google.  Believe me, results are different.  For some reason, using bookmarks in both Google with Windows creates a bit of a complication.  Verizon had a built in VPN, the T-Mobile I now use doesn't.  Windows will let you add a VPN, but it wants you to stick with Microsoft.  At least, that's how it's been explained to me.

I'm on both Instagram and Threads.  I don't have a lot of followers, and that's fine.  Fans mean having to post something regularly, if not daily, then every two or three days because you need to keep your fans involved.  That is too much of a both for me.  My life is not exciting, and I like it that way.  I just checked and, this too may surprise some of you, I only follow 251 people on Instagram.  This is far different from some people who need to constantly know what someone else, usually a celebrity, is doing.  Not me.  Mostly I use Threads for commenting and Instagram for messaging.  My comments get a lot of reactions.  My messages, not so much.  This doesn't mean I don't get comments back, I do, and some of them are surprisingly nice, and it's even nicer when they have that blue check attached.

And Jonathan Bailey is People's Man of the Year.  What a hoot!  He is their first Man of the Year who is both Gay and Out.  How sad for all of the women with their lusty loins ogling him with licentious thoughts.

The news that Dick Cheney has died left me quite dry-eyed.  While his daughter Liz seems to have some form of conscious, he was soulless and power hungry.  What I find interesting is that while old school Conservatives might morn his passing, Orangie's MAGA Cultists couldn't give a shit.  This is probably because even with all his lies, he didn't lie enough, and wasn't corrupt enough.  They do like to wallow in their immoralities. 

Today is election day.  This means you need to go out and vote, unless you're a Republican, then you should stay home and sit on your hands.  I believe the Democrats will be out in force.  This means we Blue people need to prepare ourselves because the Cultists are going to flip out if they lose badly.  Of course, there is the possibility that too many of them will be flipping out at People's first Gay Man of the Year to even notice.  Something tells me that the GOP is going to be drowning in their own torrential tears.

 Well, it was somewhat sunny yesterday, on and off, mostly off, with drizzles.  We got the edge of the storm that so much rain on New York City.  Today we're supposed to have sunny skies with the temps on the rebound, climbing up into the low 70s (F).  This coming week we're suppose to reach the mid 80s (F) before it's time to snuggle under the wooly blankets as the temps crash down in the the mid 50s (F).

Yesterday much was accomplished, in spite of the naps.  Yes, I said naps.  Both Thursday and Friday I was nappy.  Thing got done around the times I wasted time with fifteen minute naps.  In fact, there were so many naps that I wondered if perhaps I might be coming down with something.  Well, I got my answer around 2 in the morning when I woke up with a runny nose.  I hate that, having to get up in the middle of the night to blow my nose.  And it wasn't just once.  So, I have a cold.  Lucky for me my cold symptoms are just drowsiness and a runny nose.  They usually don't stick around too long, either, ;a day and a half, maybe two.  I don't mind the drowsiness, but I do hate the runny nose.

As happens to all bloggers, occasionally we get comments that are best deleted, like those from the Bombay Hooker's Club.  Yesterday, I received a comment from "Anonymous" on an entry I wrote back in 2017 that evidently the writer thought would provoke me.  It did, and instead of deleting it I responded thus:

And, of course, the country runs out of money today and those horses ass in the House are going to try and push through something that they know the Senate is going to vote against because our Senators know an asswipe when they see one.  Supposedly the ring leader for this is Matty Gaetz, though you can bet he's not the only insurrectionist involved.  You would think that these people would realize that when members of their own party point to their inability to govern, calling it chaotic, they would understand they need a new course of action.  Nope.  These people don't care that a majority of Americans are looking at them and thinking "asswipes," or that this stunt is going to lose them voters in the next election.  These 21 people are not only shitting in their pants, they're sitting down and squishing it around because they want an authoritarian government led by their Lord and Savior Donald Trump.  They are destined to fail... badly, and the longer this continues, the worse their downfall will be.
