Project Hail Mary

 We are under a freeze warning, though in my neck of the woods the temps stayed above freezing.  There wasn't even a slight glazing of frost on the cars when I woke up this morning.  Today does start a rebound in temps, and soon they will be back in the upper 60s (F) and low 70s (F).  for all intents and purposes, I do believe spring has sprung.

Yesterday was definitely a meh day.  I did do some few things, but mostly I napped.  A small ache at the back of my jaw has turned out to be a minor case of swollen gland and sore throat.  I don't doubt this is why I felt so nappy yesterday.  Not that I'm still not feeling nappy.  Also, you must remember that when you hit a certain age, brief naps can sometimes be essential. 

Because of this nappiness, the cardio I had scheduled for yesterday was moved to Saturday.  Feeling less nappy today, I will probably do that this afternoon since I have to work Saturday afternoon and I like doing my cardio in the afternoon.  I like doing my weight workouts in the morning, so I will have no problem doing the weight thing on Saturday.

And I went to see The Hail Mary Project last evening.  We haven't had a Feel Good movie in soooo long, and it does make you happy.  Ryan Gosling does a spectacular job: he makes you laugh, he makes you cry a bit; he makes you want to be his friend.  He's a science guy who loves being a science guy, not only that, he's an educator.  If he loves anything more than science, he loves teaching.  He has a rapport with hungry, young minds.  We need more teaches like him.  There are also, for those of you who like to look for them, a ton of easter eggs in this movie, including a great tribute to 2001: A Space Odyssey.

And I did go to the movie feeling fairly certain that the Orange Anus was going to TACO.  And, at 6:59, sitting in my seat waiting for the movie to start, I got the notification on my watch.  It's TACO Tuesday.  The world knows he's a gutless, sack of shit.  One of the first things I saw when I left the theater was a comment asking how many oil futures were sold 15 minutes before TACO time, because after he caved, oil futures went through the roof, again.  This happens every time he TACOs.  It's called market manipulation.  

And he unconditionally accepted the Iranian plan.  Even Fox Entertainment was critical of that.  He's basically giving the Iranians the bank.  He's trying to spin it as though it's another Big Beautiful Bill.  It's not.  This is not going to help him in the polls, in fact, I don't doubt it will cause his approval rating to drop even farther.  One thing that's important is that once again most of the Republicans in the House and Senate said absolutely nothing.  If they spoke out against this insanity the MAGA cultists would damn them to Hell.  Staying silent is preferable to them.  They already know they've lost a vast majority of Independent voters.  They would rather ride this clown car straight to Hell rather than publicly admit that they were terribly wrong.

As We Approach an Extermination Event

 As I expected, we have a freeze warning for tonight.  Will this be the last such warning for the season?  Probably.  But as soon as I say that another comes creeping around the corner.  it's difficult to say when winter's last wink will catch our eye.  Temps will be warming up again beginning on Thursday, but there are no pre-summer scorchers where our thermometers will be climbing into the mid 80s (F).  This is a good thing.

I did get a nice workout in yesterday, but for some reason my Garmin watch didn't record the correct time.  Instead of 45 minutes, I'm looking at a reading of only 15 minutes.  I'm going for a bike ride this afternoon and will have to see how it handles that cardio.

Work was terribly slow yesterday.  The actual transfer of supervisors happens on April 27.  I only saw my current supervisor for about 2 minutes, and that was to make sure she got that GQ magazine with BTS on the cover.  She's evidently a super big fan.  Myself?  I don't think I've ever listened to a single song of theirs.  Otherwise, she stayed away.  She didn't seem overly upset, though.  She did tell our aisle associate that being a supervisor meant too much work for not enough pay.  This is true for most supervisors.  Thanks to my stint in HR, my time as a supervisors was... shall we say, more lucrative.

And one of the many things that the Orange Anus is doing, is that he is upstaging one of the most important moments of space exploration mankind has achieved, the Artemis II mission.  Instead of this being front page news, headlines are screaming about the dementiated loser in the White House and his threats against Iran.  

It's truly terrible that Donald Trump can, by his mere presence is destroying the importance of this image.  That small crescent on the right side is the Earth as seen from the far side of the Moon.

I had breakfast with my brother, hence the lateness of the entry.  He has, shall we say, seen the light.  

And when I checked on social media before heading home from Denny's I saw that Marjorie Taylor Green has called upon Congress to remove Trump using the 25th Amendment.  Just when you thought it couldn't get much worse, the idiot threatened to annihilate the Iranian civilization.  For their part, Iran has shut down all diplomatic channels.  I'm betting this is not what those Middle Eastern countries wanted when they gave him those bribes.  You know?  The $400 million jet, the promise for a $5 billion dollar Trump Tower in Riyadh.  A lot of this is their fault for making a dementiated, 79 year-old man feel entitled enough to even consider this evil.

I personally don't think his threats will come to fruition, he is, after all, a true coward at heart.  In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we see some sort of intervention.  No matter how craven the GOP is for power, I do believe they understand that if Trump carries through with this mass destruction, it will also be the mass destruction of their party.  They will not survive an extermination event of this nature.
