36 Approval Rating

So, our temps went up to 50 (F) yesterday and the snow cover is is retreat.  Over the next few days, our daily highs will be up in the 40s (F) before the once again climb into the low 50s (F).  This is a good thing.  Temps today will be in the mid 40s (F) and there is rain in our forecast. Rain will help to melt the snow, we just don't need a lot of rain while much of the ground is still frozen.

And I did work yesterday.  I got a measure from customers who already have their flooring, they just need it installed.  I only needed to get one measure for this week, so it works for me.  Otherwise my workday was rather boring.  My biggest disappoint was that instead of them having candy for the associates, they pulled out the popcorn machine and made popcorn.  Now, I do like popcorn, but let's be honest here, on Valentine's Day candy would have been better.

The neighbors weren't home when I got home from work, however, when they did get home they once again began curing each other out.  

And how unpopular is Orangie?  Very.

People across the country simply hate him.  Only 9 states are satisfied with his performance.  This is not a good thing for him.  I was texting my brother and told him as simply as possible, that most Americans just want to see accountability.  Orangie has never, ever want to be held accountable.  Every bankruptcy he's had to deal with was always someone else's fault.  It's always the other guy who's to blame.  Orangie never makes a bad decision.  This is why so many of his start-up businesses fail.  During his first term he had people in his administration who acted as guardrails.  This time, Republicans were so gleeful he was elected, they let him do whatever he wanted.  Now his approval rating is a 36 and dropping.  Instead of providing the slimmest sliver of accountability, we were told to be joyous that the Dow was a 50,000.  The people running American are in a delusional world and don't realize that the sky is starting to crash down around their ears.  The fallout will destroy them.

Valentine's Day

Today's high is predicted to be in the mid to upper 40s (F).  This is a good thing.  Our snow cover needs to begin melting away so I can clean up the yard.  Forecasts are saying daily highs in the upper 30s (F) to upper 40s (F) are supposed to be the norm for the next 2 weeks.  That doesn't mean another arctic bomb, or whatever they want to call it can't come swooping down from the far north.  If that does happen, the one thing you can count on is that it will be short lived.

Yesterday turned out to be this week's meh day.  I blame it on the neighbors who's fight woke me up in the morning.  After the ruckus was over, I should have gone back to bed, but didn't, and so I was draggy tired the rest of the day.  They, themselves, took a hiatus from scrapping for about 6 hours, however, they started up again mid-afternoon.  The loud spats lasted until around 6 PM, then quiet seemed to be restored.

This doesn't mean that things weren't done, though more things went undone than I would have liked.

I bought a copy of Beginner's Norwegian from Teach Yourself that comes with free audio, so I'm using that as well as Duolingo.  Yesterday, I only did the Duolingo.  Mostly because when the neighbor's fight, I try to hear what they're saying, not so much to be nosey, but to listen for any threats of physical violence.  That's a terrible thing to say, if that happens I'll call the police.

And today's Valentine's Day.  I also work.  This means they'll most likely have lots of candy out for the associates to consume.  Having a granger type personality, I will grange.  This is not Howie, but I can tell you he did get a valentine's bone this morning.

Orangie gave a low energy, campaign style speech at Fort Bragg yesterday.  Both his racism and dementia were visible when he said that the Abrams tank had been named for Stacey Abrams, the Georgia State Representative.  He waited for a laugh after that one and got silence.  He also told those troops present that they needed to vote for him because Democrats are liars, and cheaters, and... well, you should know his hatred routine by now.  His approval rating is at an all time low, 36%.  Don't worry, it's going to continue to drop.

Thomas Massie, the Republican pushing for the full release of the Epstein files posted a Thread saying that he's not suicidal.  He's also said that he has a copy of the full Epstein files.  I posted about that.  I'm sure he's already made several copies.  I'm wondering if today might not be a good Valentine's Day for the Republican party, because I'm not doubting that if something were to happen to Massie, all those files would suddenly be released.
