Star Wars Zero Company

Crap, our overnight temp failed to drop below 70 (F) and that means we're going to be in for a hot day.  Will we hit 90 (F)?  Possibly.  Our afternoon will be skimming along in the upper 80s (F).  That's pretty much a given.  After today, temps are predicted to drop, though I don't know if this is something you can bet on.

Yesterday was sort of a meh day.  This doesn't mean I didn't get things done.  That is not the case.  Two loads of laundry, dishes cleaned, made the Vet appointment for Howie's ear.  the soonest they can fit me into their busy schedule is next Tuesday. That appointment might actually get canceled.  When I cleaned his ear this morning, it was obviously less inflamed than yesterday, so if Monday rolls around and it's looking normal I will cancel that appointment and save myself some money.

Patty MacNeil, a detective from Belfast, along with 2 day sergeants, Holmes and McAlister, have entered The Body in the Words.  Bally Seamus is too small a town to have it's own Detective so Patty's going to be making the commute.  She finds the binoculars on the table... curious.  Gee, I think I forgot to mention the binoculars.  Well, they're truly irrelevant to the plotline.  You should forget I mentioned them right this minute.

I've had my fill of Balder's Gate 3 for the time being, so I started a new game last evening.  Star Wars Zero Company is a tactical, turn based game that should keep me busy for 30 - 40 hours.  This was a needed change.  I'm back to shooting guns and throwing hand grenades, and there's no need to memorize 20 - 30 different spells and cantrips.  An interesting thing about the new Star Wars game is that no Jedi are involved, so there's no using the Force to fly through the air, or bend metal with your mind.

So, the Orange Anus spread his old lie about being at the Towers on 9/11 yesterday.  He was never at Ground Zero.  He spent those terrible hours watching the TV in his office, and later in the afternoon, after the towers had collapsed, bragged to a radio station that he now owned the tallest building in New York City.  He might be the best and most ultimate weapon the Democrats have against his evil regime.

And the tariff war with Canada is heating up.  Orangie's supporters need to chalk this up as another loss.  I don't doubt that behind the scenes his administration is frantic.  That this should happen so close to the midterms, and the GOP is going to stick with him.  They will be prosecuted.  

If trade war isn't enough, his war with Iran is heating up again.  Ships are being attacked.  The price of Brent Crude is over $100 a barrel.  Gasoline will soon be up to $4.50 a gallon.  Diesel will hit $6.00 a gallon.  Everything is going to get so expensive.  As the mood in America turns against the Republican party, their liars will keep on lying, but then all they've ever had are lies.

The Ultimate Disloyalty

Our temp dropped down to 51 (F) overnight.  Good sleeping weather.  Today's high is supposed to, once again, be in either the high70s (F) or low 80s (F).  No rain is in the forecast.  Looking ahead, the only change is expected to be a slow decline in temperatures.

I worked yesterday.  Business was booming during the morning hours, however, the instant I punched in we began losing customers.  This meant that I got my steps in early.  Staffing was low, almost all part-timers; this is normal.  Some full timers worked 40 hours and got  8 holiday hours, most worked 32 hours with their holiday pay.  You want to give your full time associates a holiday off.  This helps with your payroll expense.  Food was also provided: pulled pork or chicken, and mac & cheese.  No beverages, no salty snacks like chips.  There were leftovers, so I brought home some pulled pork and mac & cheese.  Howie got most of the pork.

Speaking of Howie, he has an ear infection so I'm going to have to take him to the Vet.  I truly dislike taking him to the Vet because like any other retailer, they like to fill your shopping cart to the brim.  They will pump your pet full of what they have decided are now "standard" medications that in reality are completely unnecessary.  They get angry when you refuse "standard" meds since that takes revenue out of their bank account.

And I learned yesterday that these pretty white flowers growing along my fence Sweet Autumn Clematis and they are an aggressively invasive plant.  So this means trimming and pruning every fall.

And they're giving away free tickets to Orangie's midterm convention.  The MAGA brand has become so toxic no one wants to attend.  If you do decide to go and you want to stay on the cheap side rather than splurge, you can have your picture taken with JD Vance and it will only set your bank account back $25,000.  Since this is JD we're talking about, you might get a bit of a discount if you bring along a loveseat.

Evidently the official White House Labor Day video, one that wasn't AI slop celebrating the Orange Anus's fantasies, was of a pen being put together on an assembly line.  Not a single human being was in  the video.  Basically, they celebrated Labor Day by showing that machines do things better than people.

Rumors are swirling that Kegsbreath Hegseth's head may be on the chopping block.  This is not because he's doing a horrific job, rather the horrific job he's doing is making the Orange Anus look bad, and that is the ultimate form of disloyalty.
