Dimwitted Wannabe Bomber

 Okay, so a new week has started.  This morning's temps were cool, but a warming trend is on the way.  By the end of the week we might actually hit 90 (F).  I'm ready for summer.

I did work yesterday.  I made both my measure goal and my sales goal for the past week.  Management is happy.  In fact, I was kidding around with the store manager yesterday and that very subject came up and though he and I were laughing, he didn't shy away from saying my sales were comparable to those of a full time flooring specialist.  While no specific names came up, all I have to do is look at the figures to see there is one in particular who is not approaching expectations, let alone exceeding them.

And, shock of shocks, we did have a mini-terrorist activity at the store during one of my days off; a wannabe bomber was arrested.  Now this not too brilliant individual wasn't planning on bombing the store; rather he was intent on acquiring bomb making ingredients and components in order to make a bomb.  Knowing that the purchase of such materials could be traced, this dimwit decided to steal them... and was caught... and arrested.  A short time later his wife and mother showed up to pick him up and were told he was not at the store, and was, in fact, in police custody.

The Wertzville Road is now open and I don't have to take a detour to get to work.  However, during the storm last week, my neighbor's cedar tree lost a number branches, both bit and little.  Being the consummate stick connoisseur, Howie found one and brought it into the house.

For those who missed it, Ukraine carried out a successful drone operation that destroyed at least 40 irreplaceable Russian aircraft.  The drones were smuggled into and launched from inside Russia.  This says a lot about the ineptitude of Vlad's boarder security.  And, this mission had targets as far away as Siberia.  This is not a good look for Vlad or Russia.  It also proves how wrong the Orange Anus was when the told Zelensky he didn't have any cards.  I'm betting Orangie's blow bro Vlad is wondering if Zelensky what other cards Zelensky might be holding.

In spite of what some might think, and while Fox Entertainment is truly doubling down on Biden's supposed decline, Main Stream Media seems to have noticed that attacking this administration's policies is getting them more clicks than praising the Orange Anus.  Blowback is starting all over the place, except for CNN, because networks are going to go where the money is, and the money is in the clicks.

Joni Ernst, Soulless Christian

 Right now the outside temp is 52 (F) and our forecast is calling for partially sunny to sunny days for the next 5 days.  That's fine with me.  Because of all of the rain we've had things are growing bazoom, bazoom.  That's fine.  Green has always been one of my favorite colors.

And the storm that went through was much stronger than I had originally thought.  While I only had some small branches come down, in other places whole trees fell.  The Wertzvelle Road, my main route to the store, is still closed in one place because a large tree came crashing down onto the power lines.  With all of the trees around my house I am considering the purchase of another chain saw.  I tossed the old one out last year after it developed a serious leak of chainsaw oil.

Work was almost meh yesterday.  I did get 2 measures, and one of my measures for window shades had just arrived to purchase as I was leaving.  We have an associate in the department who is meticulously detailed when it comes to designing shades and blinds; he was handling the sale for me.  Believe me when I tell you I don't mind working with the flooring aspect of the department, but blinds and shades?  I have absolutely no interest in them.

Of course, Joni Ernst gave a non-apology for telling her constituents at a townhall that "we're all going to die."  This is Joni so all you can recognize her if you see her.

Joni posted a video of herself walking through a cemetery as she made her non-apology; I guess this was to drive home her point that everybody dies.  Among other things, she said she was glad she didn't have to bring up the tooth fairy as well.  And, as some of you might be expecting, she did end her video by saying those concerned about death should turn to God.  Joni is, for all intents and purposes, a soulless Christian.  I suspect she is one of those anti-abortionists who is anything but Pro Life.  She's an authoritarian who only cares about the quality of her own life, the lives of others?  Well, those poor souls are responsible for the quality of their own lives, and... well, it's no business of hers if they have to suffer.  Joni believes that if you can't drag yourself up by your bootheels, then it's you're own damn fault you are suffering.  And, because Joni is a Christian, all she needs to do is ask for forgiveness and all is hunky dory with her soul, except Joni is Soulless, so her prayers are never, ever going to be answered.
