The Sunny Day

 My Thursday workday has arrived.  I have a 6-hour shift beginning at 1 this afternoon.  Can you feel my excitement?

Outside, the sky is overcast.  There's only a 40% chance we will get rained.  Temps are supposed to climb to the mid 80s (F).  Checking the map on Accuweather, shows all of the substantial showers are passing us to our south, so before I leave for work, I'll have to water the little garden.

I baked sugar cookies yesterday.  First time with this recipe, which called for a heaping tablespoon of batter per cookie.  I showered them with rainbow sprinkles for a little extra sugary Pride.  They got big.  Really, really big.  They are very tasty.  I know there are some out there who will say that size is important, but... these sweet cakes are bigger than I was expecting.

Over in the UK, the Torys are looking rather shamefaced.  BoJo, the tousle-haired Trump wannabe has resigned.  Brought down by scandals, the latest happened when one of his cabinet members drunkenly groped another man.  A blustery sensationalist, BoJo seemed to be constantly demonstrating his inability to govern.  Conservatives are a selfish lot, and in his brief tenure as Prime Minister, his selfishness was apparent.

Oh, well, the sun just came out from behind the overcast skies.  Hello sunny day.

Yesterday, up here in sunny PA, a group of Republicans, including former officials, came out in support of the Democratic candidate Josh Shapiro.  Yeah, you read that right.  Republicans are telling Republicans to vote for a Democrat.  They said that Mastriano's Cracker Jack Crazy evangelical extremism makes him unfit to run the state. This group of Republicans is doing a very good thing.  They understand the MAGA movement brings only destruction.

And tomorrow, Pat Cipollone will sit down and do a recorded interview with the January 6 committee.  He knows what questions they will ask; they know what his answers will be.  Everything has been arranged.  Will the American people be shocked by his testimony?  You can bet your ass they will.

The temps are predicted to climb into the mid 80's again tomorrow with a 0% chance of rain.

 

Hello Summer

 So, when I got home from work last evening, I found the butter dish lying on the living room floor.  Licked clean.  Both suspects were happily wagging their little tails when I walked in the door, no compunction there.  This is what happens when you have big dogs who have no problem standing up at the kitchen counter.  Mostly it tends to be Lily.  Biggie is too big to stand on his hind legs for long.

I stepped on the scale this morning to see what my Summer Weight was and saw the price I'm paying for all of those damn sugar cookies.  And when I got to work yesterday, I discovered several more boxes were waiting for my addiction.  And I'm not talking about the teeny-weeny sugar cookies you buy at your supermarket; I'm talking about PA Dutch sugar cookies.  They're a lot like little cakes.  

Outside, the skies are overcast.  We've got a 50% chance of rain today.  That goes up to 80% tomorrow.  Last year we had a fairly wet summer.  Predicting the weather has always been iffy, though if we get another wet summer next year, I'd have to say rainy summers are trending.

I was watching to see if Republicans would condemn Eric Greiten's decision to sell MAGA licenses to hunt RINOs in a political ad and did not see many congressional representatives speaking out.  This party keeps veering sharply to the extreme right.  Look at Texas wanting to secede from the United States.  This is what happens when you have a bunch of fools trying to put their single cell brains together.

Evidently Trump is whining about Kevin McCarthy's decision to pull Republican representation from the January 6 committee.  I'm fairly certain he thought it a smart move back when the committee was being set up, when he thought his stupid attempt at a coup was well hidden.  There is a reason why this man takes so many to court, he makes a lot of terrible decisions and then tries to blame someone else.

And finally, I saw where Mike Pence has said he has never known anyone to lie as much as Joe Biden.  Stop laughing!  Seriously, should we put any credence in what's being said by a man who looks like he's still auditioning for Stranger Things?
