The Ultimate Disloyalty

Our temp dropped down to 51 (F) overnight.  Good sleeping weather.  Today's high is supposed to, once again, be in either the high70s (F) or low 80s (F).  No rain is in the forecast.  Looking ahead, the only change is expected to be a slow decline in temperatures.

I worked yesterday.  Business was booming during the morning hours, however, the instant I punched in we began losing customers.  This meant that I got my steps in early.  Staffing was low, almost all part-timers; this is normal.  Some full timers worked 40 hours and got  8 holiday hours, most worked 32 hours with their holiday pay.  You want to give your full time associates a holiday off.  This helps with your payroll expense.  Food was also provided: pulled pork or chicken, and mac & cheese.  No beverages, no salty snacks like chips.  There were leftovers, so I brought home some pulled pork and mac & cheese.  Howie got most of the pork.

Speaking of Howie, he has an ear infection so I'm going to have to take him to the Vet.  I truly dislike taking him to the Vet because like any other retailer, they like to fill your shopping cart to the brim.  They will pump your pet full of what they have decided are now "standard" medications that in reality are completely unnecessary.  They get angry when you refuse "standard" meds since that takes revenue out of their bank account.

And I learned yesterday that these pretty white flowers growing along my fence Sweet Autumn Clematis and they are an aggressively invasive plant.  So this means trimming and pruning every fall.

And they're giving away free tickets to Orangie's midterm convention.  The MAGA brand has become so toxic no one wants to attend.  If you do decide to go and you want to stay on the cheap side rather than splurge, you can have your picture taken with JD Vance and it will only set your bank account back $25,000.  Since this is JD we're talking about, you might get a bit of a discount if you bring along a loveseat.

Evidently the official White House Labor Day video, one that wasn't AI slop celebrating the Orange Anus's fantasies, was of a pen being put together on an assembly line.  Not a single human being was in  the video.  Basically, they celebrated Labor Day by showing that machines do things better than people.

Rumors are swirling that Kegsbreath Hegseth's head may be on the chopping block.  This is not because he's doing a horrific job, rather the horrific job he's doing is making the Orange Anus look bad, and that is the ultimate form of disloyalty.

Anniversary

Our outside temp was 55 (F) when I woke up this morning.  That meant we had good sleeping weather last night.  Today's high will be either in the high 70s (F) or the low 80s (F).  I don't really care because I'm going to be working on this Labor Day.  The forecast for this week has been revised down.  We will no longer be having highs in the low 90s (F).  Instead, they will be cresting in the upper 80s (F), which is a step in the right direction for Autumn.

And I did work yesterday.  Things were slow.  We're in a holiday weekend and the only shoppers we're going to be getting are those looking for a sale.  Our appliance section did well.  That's where the deals are.  As a result, I got my steps in fast.  And, of course, today is the actual holiday.  As usual, I work.  They're bringing in food.  Someone said mini-tacos.  I guess that means we're going to be eating teeny, weeny, tiny tacos.

And then this happened as well.  

Overnight the Orange Anus has been pumping out all sorts of AI slop on his Truth Social account and bragging about all of the billions of dollars he's made while president.  This is against the law, but why would he care about that.  In his addle-paddled brain he is above the law.  Rules and Regulations have no meaning to him because he's special.  His idea of helping Republicans get out the votes for the midterms is to throw a mini-Republican convention in order to celebrate himself.  Two nights long, he will be speaking on the first night... and in case that isn't enough for his cultists, he's going to be repeating his performance on the 2nd night as well.  I understand Republicans are coming up with excuses to avoid his ego extravaganza.  Sorry guys, it ain't gonna help.  Perhaps you should have thought about your future in politics before selling your soul to the Orange Anus.
