Sourpuss Trump

And  we have rain.  Serious drizzling is occurring. Today's afternoon high might reach the mid 70s (F). Just a remind, the start of Autumn is less than 2 weeks away.  For those who love the heat of summer and who live in Central Pa, fear not.  California is going through a heat thing right now and since the Earth spins on an axis, that thing will move east.  However, whether that thing edges a bit north on its eastward journey, or moves parallel, staying mostly to the south is anybody's guess.

Work yesterday was boring.  Today, because of the overcast skies, and on and off drizzle, things will slower.  While being bored is not fun, getting paid to be bored isn't bad.  Besides, that sale I thought I lost looks like it might go through this afternoon.  Unfortunately, that sale will not be large enough for me to hit my sale's goal for this week, but then my goal is rather high for a part-time associate.

I just got a weather update, the rain is supposed to end in a few hours.  This would be really good sleeping weather.

And Orangie is in Ireland, and the Irish people are having none of his bullshit.  He left a 3 minute meeting with Prime Minister looking cranky as hell.  She didn't fawn like a sycophant.  We need more world leaders treating him like the moldering dung heap he is.  This is what you call a sourpuss. 

Of course, we suddenly have all those wannabe big brains now telling us we need to begin slowing down the development of AI.  One of the researches said that it might kill the human race in 10 years, however, he didn't say how.  There are 2 schools of thought, one is that AI will do something insidious to destroy us, the other is that the AI bubble is going to burst causing the world's economy to come crashing down.  Such an event would not wipe out humanity, however, it would decimate the billionaire class.  I'm thinking the researcher was talking about the latter, especially with the likes of Sam Altman, and Elonia Musk; without their bank accounts, these people are nothing.  

The Saudis find Karma

We've got 62 (F) outside and once again, the temps are predicted to hit the low 80s (F).  We did manage to hit that 80(F).  We're going to be repeating yesterday's forecast today.  If those people who predict the weather are correct, our daily highs from now on should be sailing through the upper 70s (F).  That is until we get to Indian Summer.

Yesterday was quite the solemn day.

Berkheimer's came to service my furnace around 0800.  The tech was training a new person.  He said he was supposed to do both the furnace and the central air.  I told him to just do the furnace, I'll have him back in the spring for the central air.  My brain thinks that the furnaced should be serviced prior to the heating season, and the central air prior to the cooling season.  I guess it doesn't really matter.  I shall have to work on being more flexible since have both units serviced at the same time will cost me less money.

The pain of 9/11 seemed stronger on this anniversary, perhaps because so much of what's happening today in the world seems to stem from that moment in our history.  

I did go to my local Giant supermarket for fresh fruit and bones for Howie.  While I was there, I bought him a new toy.  A pink pig.  He loves it.

I understand the Orange Anus gave a... "fiery," speech at the Pentagon yesterday, after he woke up from his nap.  I don't know if it was fiery or not, since I didn't see a single clip on social media other than those of him snoozing away.  By now most people know, except for his cultists, that every time he opens his mouth, the only thing that comes out is yada, yada, yada.  He is not now, nor will he ever, be considered a wise man.  One of the things not included in his yada, yada, yada was that the Saudis asked him to attack Yemen.  To be honest, I don't doubt they expected him to do what they wanted, after all, isn't that why they paid him $5+ billions of dollars?  Unfortunately for the Saudis, America has wasted so many bombs and missiles on Iran we don't have them to spare.  And the Houthis, from Yemen, have taken over a major Saudi pipeline. If the Saudis want the Houthis stopped, they're going to have to use their own army, and Orangie's war will expand.  Expect gas to get more expensive soon.  And what is Orangie planning on doing?  Play golf in Ireland.  So, what we're seeing might possibly be the beginning of Karma for the Saudi Royal Family, since they were the ones who funded 9/11.
