Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Karma is a Bitch

Well, we have another sunny day ahead of us here in Central PA.  Our high temp should be floating just around the 90 (F) mark, meaning it's going to be hot enough to make things slightly uncomfortable for some.  As long as the humidity stays low, this is not a bad temp.  The long range forecast implies humidity will not be rising.  This is a good thing.  However, the lack of rain means I'll need to be watering my garden daily.

Things I did do yesterday:  move an old wheelbarrow that I'm going to turn into a raised flower bed - things need to be above ground to keep Howie from peeing on them.  Also, the idea is to make the space around the raised bed veggies as happy a place as possible for the bees and other buzzy things needed to pollinize.

 A very decent bike ride in Corsica. I like riding in Italy.  I should really visit.

 I'm still editing through the book.  My cover artist is in the process of moving.  She's saying another 2 weeks maybe.  This is probably a good thing as I'm still finding bits and pieces that I feel need to be changed.  At the same time, I want to put this baby to bed.  I have a bunch of notes on the next book, and I can't wait to start, but I have rule:  never start the actual writing until the last book is published.

And you know, Karma is a real bitch.


As Six and others pointed out, the Asshole held what was supposed to be a roundtable meeting in Wisconsin yesterday but which was ostensibly nothing more than a mini-rally.  He sat through the entire event and then needed assistance taking the one step down off of the stage.  Now, I don't know about you, but it seems to me as if his administration suddenly seems to be ramping up not only his vanity projects, but the 2025 Project as well.  One would almost think they understand how fast time is running out for them.  Could this be why Republicans in both Congress and the Senate are beginning to break from him?

And I'm going to wonder how they're going to handle the June 14 birthday celebration.  I'm suspecting the entire event will be televised with him rambling for an hour and a half sitting behind his desk in the Oval Office.  I'm also willing to be that the only network to carry that event will be Fox News.

Squirrels

 Our out door temp is 65 (F).  It's going to be a stinker of a day.  For the next 3 days our highs are going to be in the mid 90s (F).  They'll drop back into the upper 80s (F) after that.  No rain is in sight for the next 10 days.  It looks as though summer has arrived 2 weeks early.  So be it.

I did get a decent workout in yesterday.  I've signed up for another 3 months of Trainwell.  The results so far are, by my standards, impressive.  The goal is not to just maintain muscle, but build it, too.  And, well, I have biceps now.  My core muscles are stronger and they are essential if you have lower back issues.  They keep you spine in place, don't let it jiggle around so much when you walk.

Work yesterday was filled with issues, all of them other people's problems that I got stuck fixing.  My first 3 hours zipped by.  The last 3?  They were on the slow side.  I did hit my measure goal for the week, one of them a commercial tile floor installation.  Management will be very happy if that goes through.

Without any rain in the forecast, I will need to water my garden every day.  In case you're wondering, this is what it looks like.  The only problem I'm having is with the squirrels digging up the seeds I've planted.  


And, while having a meeting in the Oval Office, the Orange Anus fell asleep yesterday... again.  He has also now officially canceled his Freedom 250 concert and will now be the lone speaker.  Or, at least right now that's the plan.  Believe me, this will change. His declining health will require he share the spotlight.  I don't doubt that the crowd will be small.

Also, yesterday Pammy Jo Bondi said that Todd Blanche, Orangie's personal attorney, was solely responsible for the release of the Epstein files.  While this is probably true, it shows she's desperate enough to throw Blance so badly under the bus.
