Thiel flees to Argentina

Holy Crap, can you believe it?  We made it to the end of the week with only 3 days of rain!  Don't get too happy with this dry weather, though, showers are on the forecast for next week.  Daily high temps are supposed to be hovering around in the mid 70s (F).  That will be nice.  I have a feeling this summer is going to be stinkin' hot, so enjoy the comfortable temps while they last.

Yesterday, in spite of having to work, was a fairly productive day.  My workout was almost superb.  I got my heartrate up to 146.  This is actually good.  I'd like to sustain it for more than 3 minutes though.  Five would be nice.  8 would be even better.  Numbers are funny, in case you didn't know.  According to style manuals, you should never use a digit to start out a sentence, the number should always be spelled out.  Yet in current literary fashion, there are writers who do just that.  I do it occasionally.  I guess that makes me a rule breaker.  Eight comes across softer than 8, and seems to have less emphasis.  Sentences don't always need to start with words that can be capitalized.

Work was boring.  I sold an install to our store manager's mom.  She was quite nice.

I have a bike ride scheduled for this afternoon.  I think I check and see if there are any routes in Sardinia.

And the Republican regime has become totally untethered from reality.  Who in their right mind thought that a trailer trash UFC Cage Match on the front lawn of the White House was a good idea?  You can bet that someone on Orangie's team is going to profit greatly from this, since this is a "for Profit" administration.

The big news yesterday, even though it didn't get much of a headline in the Main Stream Media, was that Peter Thiel, JD Vance's mentor from Hell, has fled to Argentina. 

Many on social media were quick to point out that 80 years ago a number of Nazis also relocated to that country.  Perhaps he moved because inflation in Argentina is still historically severe and he wanted to use his billions to help improve that country's economy.  He did blurt out something about America's political future being bad.  This might imply he's worried that he might have to pay taxes.  Or it could be that, as John Gray occasionally says, he knows things are going to go "tits up" in this country and wanted to get out before his bacon got tossed in the frying pan.  Since he's a billionaire coward, I'm thinking the latter.

Then, of course, there is that Freedom 250 concert (?) event.  Orangie wanted to throw a birthday bash for himself and I have to admit, that idiot is killin' it... literally.  Of the original list of performers, the only one  who came close to be considered a minor headliner was Martina McBride and now she, like so many of those others listed, has pulled out.  In fact, the only artist who hasn't canceled is Vanilla Ice.  Vanilla who, you ask?

Trump's No Flight Zone

According to the forecast, we're in a bit of a cool down and our daily highs are going to be in the mid 70s (F).  I don't know if I'd call that a cool down since those temps pretty much define my comfort zone.  The long range forecast doesn't have a single day where the high  heat will be approaching the 80 (F) degree mark.  Keep in mind, we are still in Spring.  We're a little over 3 weeks out before the commencement of summer.

Yesterday turned out to be a very good day.  Many chores were completed.  I finished recording all of the snippets of video I'm planning on using to introduce The Body in 4/4 Time.  I hope this thing looks presentable.  Originally, I had thought of doing something with animation, but a friend of mine just happened to have a metronome that he let me borrow.

And I do get to go to work today.  Memorial Day is over so I suspect it will be a fun, lap filled day.  I know that I have 2 customers I'm going to need to call, since sales are important.  We are heading into that summertime zone when the kids are home from school and plans are just starting to be made for the family summer vacation.  Though things might be different this year with prices continuing to go climb.

I made chicken marsala for dinner last evening.  It was quite tasty.

I saw an interesting posit about the Orange Anus.  Let's start of with Don Jr.'s wedding, which was in Bermuda.  Orangie said he was too busy to attend.  Then Orangie had his physical, after which he stood in front of a column and talked about it for approximately 3 minutes. Some people thought he was diaper dumping.  But sometimes when people get bad news, while they don't always talk about columns, they will do something, anything, to stop thinking about the bad news.  Then he moved his cabinet meeting from Camp David, about 60 miles away, back to the White House because of the bad weather.  Bad weather?  We had rain showers.  By helicopter, Camp David is only a 30 minute flight away.  There are a number of serious health concerns that would keep Orangie from flying.  So, did his doctors put Orangie into a no fly zone?  People are waiting to see how it is before he flies back down to Mar a Lago.
