The Ceasefire is Kaput

 It was 78 (F) this morning at 0600 which means today is going to be a hot one.  We are under a heat warning... however, the forecast no longer has us breaking into triple digits.  Nope.  Our high is now supposed to top off at 98 (F), which is the high temp we had on both Sunday and yesterday.  And it is all downhill from today on.  I can live with 98 (F).  

Yesterday was sort of meh.  I did get in a nice band/dumbbell workout.  I want to get a ride in this afternoon.  I had bought a small window A/C unit for the workout room since there's no Central Air vent in it; my house is over 120 years old and venting was not big in the early 1900s.  It was cheap and worked well for one year, and okay for the 2nd year.  Now, it's basically a big fan.  So, one of these days I'll carry it downstairs and throw it out.  

I did sent an note to Christos in Greece, his copy of The Body in History is out for delivery.

I did start playing a new game:  the remaster of Oblivion.  The remaster looks simply great!  It was the first game I downloaded with the new T-Mobile internet.  For a WiFi download, I was pleased that I had speeds up to 145 MBS.  With the FIOS I was lucky if I got 45 MBS.  That's a big difference.  Anyway, here's the trailer.  It's a Bethesda RPG game.  If it looks familiar, it's part of the Elder Scrolls series.

And for those of you who were worried that ceasefire between Iran and Israel might actually do it's intended purpose of raising Orangie's approval rating, fear not, the deal he said was going to last forever has fallen apart after only 3 hours.  Both sides have violated the terms.  Those grandiose fantasies he has about himself are now nothing more than soiled linen.  And now all of those who so quickly jumped aboard are stained as well because they believed someone who's only successful at being a liar, a cheat, and a con.  Everything Orangie touches dies and when it does he blames Biden.

 

The Sleepers

 Good Morning World!  It's 89 (F) outside.  It's only going to get hotter, so I've decided to take some personal time and not go into work today.  The temp was 99 (F) yesterday when I left work and that was the coolest of the 3 days of this mini-heatwave.  Temps are supposed to be warmer today, though according to Accuweather we should top off at 97 (F), which would actually be cooler than yesterday. I don't think that's going to happen.

Yesterday was very slow in the retail field.  I don't doubt this was because it was so hot.  I did make my sales goal for the week, but that's it.  While the sales will be appreciated by management, the fact that I didn't sell any measures will goad them just the tiniest of bit.  That's fine.  Numbers wise I'm almost as good as the 40 hour a week specialists.

So, what will I do today now that I'm not working?  I will do laundry and hang it out to dry.  In this heat it will dry fast.  I'm planning on getting in a nice workout this afternoon.

This past weekend I finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.  While it is not my favoritest of all games, it is probably number 2 on that short list.  Even though I got to "The End," I actually only covered 50% of the game, so I will go back and actually complete the whole thing at some point.

A bit on the Pirate Ship:  France is going to charge import duties or taxes on a paperback book, Greece, however, will not.  I find this fascinating.  We don't think about how different countries operate.  Of course, these taxes might be due to the fact that we have an idiot in the white house.  For those who haven't seen it, Orangie  has bulldozed away the White House Rose Garden in order to put in a patio similar to the one at Mar a Lago.

So, why did Orange bomb Iran?  I know a lot of people are trying to complicate this question when the answer is quite simple:  his feelings got hurt.  He threw a birthday parade and people laughed.  The word TACO now means something completely different.  He said he'd make a decision in 2 weeks about Iran and people laughed.  All of this hurt made him angry.  He wants the world to see him as powerful and instead it's laughing at him.  So, he retaliated by doing something very stupid.  Orangie is not now, nor has he  ever been smart.  He has 6 bankruptcies to prove this.  What's the proof?  Little Marko saying they had no intelligence that Iran was making a bomb.  Bennie Netanyahu told Orangie they were building one and that's all he needed.  And because Orangie is a one dimensional thinker who believes he can do whatever he wants, he obviously didn't think about retaliation.  More than one source is saying that Iran warned him that they would activate "sleeper cell" terrorists already in the United States.  Ouch.  Prepare yourselves.
