A History of Hunting Accidents

 Okay, so we've started the weekend so many people work for and I'm still wondering what all the fuss is for, especially if you're one of those who end up wasting all of Sunday sleeping off a hangover.  Please tell me you work for something other than that.

The weather is supposed to be a bit cooler today, but not cold.  Temps are supposed to be in the 60s (F).  By Tuesday, election day, they will be up in the mid to upper 70s (F), so those of you who want to stand in line to vote should have nice weather to do so (at least here in Central PA).  At my age, I don't really want to have to stand in line for 2 hours, and believe me, lines will be long.  The last time I stood in a long line to vote was the Gore/Bush election.  We still had paper ballots here in Enola.  That's right, you filled in the circle, secreted your ballot in a plastic case to insure confidentiality, and then let it slide into a ballot box.  It took forever.  

I got a lot done yesterday.  The fish tank in the writing room was cleaned.  Somehow, I managed to lose a black angelfish.  I thought perhaps it might have died, but there was no little corpse, so I'm thinking maybe he just jumped out of the tank.  They do that at times.

I do get to work today.  Six hours.  Sadly, I do have to work tomorrow as well, that'll be a full 8 hour day.  I have 2 more 8 hour Sundays left.  Having a Howie, means I come home during my lunch break in order to let him out.  Being that he's still so young, it doesn't mean that he's going to hold his business until my lunch, but it does help set up a schedule.

And of course most of yesterday's social media was taken up with the Orange Anus, and his talk about Liz Cheney and firing squads.  So, at this point, I'd like to remind everybody that her dad, Dick Cheney, has a history of hunting accidents.

And yes, there was a lot of backlash yesterday regarding Orangie's firing squad comment.  He repeated the statement several times, albeit with variations, in one he had her holding a rifle.  What was even more interesting was watching and reading Republicans bend over backwards in their attempt to qualify his statements.  Defending him makes them all look bad in the eyes of a majority of voters, yet what else can they do?  So many of them are like him, spineless and cowardly.  Standing up to him would take far more courage than they could ever hope to muster, and so his downfall will be their downfall.  

I also thought it was amusing to see Liz Cheney tell George W. Bush he needs to support Harris.  I would be truly shocked if that were to happen, since W has been a coward all of his life.  Seen as one of the weakest, worst presidents in American history, Bush has never done the right thing.  There is zero hope in him changing now.

Scorpio!

 Well, hello November!  For those unfamiliar with the Zodiac, Scorpios are in full swing.  I am, as you should have guessed, a Scorpio.  The sign is considered to be the most powerful, followed by Leo.  Scorpios are a member of the water sign group, along with Cancer the Crab and Pisces the Fish.  And, while we are emotional and sentimental at times, we also have a stinger, and believe me, we do know how to sting.

Yesterday was one of those "I should have done more but didn't" sort of days.  Howie and I did some lawn work, but not nearly as much as could have been done.  I did some cleaning, but just some.  I wrote, but only around 300 words.  I took a few naps, but none of them were nearly long enough.  I don't know.  Perhaps it was because yesterday was Halloween and I knew that Trick or Treaters would be prowling the neighborhood.  Howie and I were outside when a few went by, and they were all young.

My new neighbors took their daughter down to Lancaster so she could do her Tricker or Treating there.  She's probably 13 or so, and is a little too old to hang with the little kids that hit my neighborhood.  They've been living in the house for a little over a year.  The last time I talked to her, she said they were waiting to see how well their son does in college, implying they might be moving back to Lancaster.  She did tell me that they know the house needs a new roof and they can't afford to put one on, so who knows what they're going to do.  They may try to sell.  They've built up a tiny bit of equity, but not much.

Howie can climb halfway up the stair case.  In another 2 weeks they will no longer be an obstacle for him.

Just in case you missed it, the Orange Anus is suing CBS for a lot of money.  None of the Main Stream Media groups that I scanned this morning were mentioning it, which is not good for Orangie.  In the past, this sort of gimmicky law suit were garner him headlines, no longer.  The bold print headline on NBC is Orangie telling Tucker Carlson that Liz Cheney might think differently if she were standing in front of a firing squad.  The CBS lawsuit would have been a much better headline for him.  Five days before the election and he's making news by threatening people with firing squads.  And his campaign believes this is smart?  

Early voting is going well.  While no one knows who's voted for who, we do know that women are outvoting men by a decent percentage.  This is not a good sign.  We know that a lot of people who have never voted before in their lives are voting this year.  A heavy turnout does not favor Republicans.

And finally, we have Elon Musk, who so desperately wants to be president of the United States, who wants to be a petty dictator.  Walz said it best.  He's a dipshit.  The nerd from Hell who's always had to buy his way into the popularity club he so terribly wants to run.  His incompetence becomes more and more apparent as the days go by.
