The Art of the Surrender

Okay, so our outside temp is purportedly 67 (F).  I haven't been outside yet, so I'll take that with a grain of salt.  We had some showers yesterday, and then a lot of wind.  For the foreseeable future, our daily highs are supposed to be in the low to mid 80s (F).  This is fine.  It keeps me from spending too much money on the A/C.

So, yesterday's workout was short and I'm blaming Howie.  When I was changing up the weight machine, he walked into the room and asked, "hey, wanna take a 5 minutes nap?"  And since I'm always up for a nap, I agreed.  Well, 5 minutes turned into an hour and 15 minutes.  That meant the workout had to be done in quick time in order for me to leave for work on time.  At least I was well rested when I pulled into the parking lot.

And work was meh.  I did have a $3000 sale go through.  And... as I should have expected, the customers who I sold that tile flooring installation to showed up with questions.  They only want to talk to me... shit.  Anyway, I had to explain that the glaze on their matte finished porcelain tile was not going to make the floor slippery.  There's also an issue with their sink and their toilet.  They want to replace their old toilet with the new toilet, that's not going to be a problem.  The bathroom sink is another issue.  Putting the tile floor under their vanity will raise the level of the sink, so a plumber will need correct the length of the drain.  It's an easy fix, but they will still have to pay for the plumber, our installers don't do that.

I understand that the Orange Anus is coming out with a new book.

I suppose someone finally got through to his dementiated brain as to what he really did when he signed that document in Versailles, because the "peace talks" between the US and Iran in Switerland have suddenly been canceled.  Of course, reality may not have set in and the talks might have been canceled because Israel is still bombing Lebanon, and ending the bombing is a provision.  That's right, Orangie signed a surrender agreement without getting the Israelis approval.  Let's be fair, no one should be surprised by this, as a demi-god he should be able to do whatever he wants. 

In fact, I understand he's been walking around telling people he's the most powerful man who's ever lived, comparing himself to Mao, and Stalin, and Hitler.  Well, this is how insanity works.

And finally, did  everybody get a chance to the pictures of Moscow burning yesterday?  I'm thinking that very shortly Orangie's blow bro Vlad is going to be staring straight into the eyes of a revolution.  Good for him!

Surrender

 Our outside temp is warm. 69 (F).  It's also very humid.  We're supposed to have showers and drizzles this morning.  They will extend into this afternoon, with a high temp in the upper 80s (F).  Things are predicted to cool down overnight, with tomorrow's highs in the mid 70s (F).  Evidently El Nino has arrived which means we might have a cool, wet summer.  That means a lot of mowing.

Yesterday was a fine day.  My Wednesday workout revolves around the machine with a lot less of a reliance on dumbbells.  It's a good change up.  The only exercise I do with dumbbell cs is the dumbbell thruster.  This is the same exercise that Pete Hegseth was failing so miserably.  I use 20 lb dumbbells and it's not unusual to get my heart rate up to 140 beats per minute.  This is a good thing.  Like all muscles, your heart needs to be exercised.

And I had a long lunch with my friends Tami and Ann.  They've been friends for decades.  Not all friendships survive the passing of time.

The Boroughs on Netflix has not been renewed for a 2nd season.  This does not surprise me.  Like Boots, it has an ending that doesn't a continuation of the storyline.  Unlike Widow's Bay, on Apple TV, which used it's 10 episodes to specifically guide you to a cliffhanger ending.  

And, I'm please to announce that there is a least one person in Washington DC who is happy with the green Reflecting Pool.

Don't you find watching Republicans scramble to try and defend the agreement Orangie signed to sit down and talk about a peace deal with Iran amusing.  There are so many who see this as the greatest foreign policy failure in our entire history as a country.  Orangie started a war and then surrendered.  Oh, wait, that's right, it was never really called a war.  What was it he called this attack on Iran?  An excursion?  Yep, that sounds a bit right.  And he signed this surrender in Versailles, surrounded by world leaders who hold him with much more disdain than you can even imagine.  Accountability is coming.  Not only for the  Republican Party, but the Conservative movement as well.  This is why you need to keep them as far away from power as possible.  They always screw things up.
