The Rallies

Yesterday our weather was crappy.  Overcast skies, with drizzles throughout the day, and a high in the low 60s (F).  Last night I turned on my heat.  The thermostat is set at 68 (F).  I wouldn't mind the low temps, but I truly am tired of all the precipitation we've been getting.  We're supposed to have sunshine for the rest of the week with temps in the mid 70s (F).  I was hoping the transition to Autumn would be quick, however these weather patterns are dashing my hopes.

Something's up with blogger again.  Bob's Saturday post showed up this morning with a posting time of 0800 this morning, however it's 0732.  

I worked in the paint department on Saturday with a paint associate who used to be a doors and windows specialist until they started moving people around.  She's unhappy.  Her hours were cut.  However, besides her part-time job with the orange retailer, she has a full time job with the state that pays well.  She was complaining because her husband was up for a promotion and didn't get it.  And all the while I'm thinking, maybe she shouldn't have bought that Lexus last year, the one she told me she still owes $26,000 on.  The icing on the cake is that she is a Republican and a supporter of the pedo in the White House, and she is still waiting for him to make things great again.

So, I plucked my last tomato from my garden this morning.  This is a beefsteak tomato, however, when you see it next to a butter knife you know it's not that beefy.

The Orange Anus doxed Republican senator Tom Cotton on Saturday by publishing his personal cellphone number.  This is the sort of thing 12 year-old children do when things aren't going their way.

Orangie is also campaigning in 17 states to support Republican candidates.  There are those who don't believe he'll survive this, and some are praying he doesn't.  I'm betting he does, though by the time his last rally rolls around his speeches are going to be so off the rails even Fox Entertainment won't be carrying them.  He had one yesterday in Mississippi and he had a crowd, sort of.  Most of the people were wearing MAGA haute couture and I knew that these were people with a poor education, and poor jobs who seriously believed  Orangie was going to make them great.

We've got less than a month before the midterms and a day doesn't go by in which the Orange Anus doesn't do something to piss off even more Americans.  This is a good thing.  Saturday evening in Ohio he told Republicans that if they all go out and vote Republican victory was going to be so big they were going to celebrate by "shoving it up the Democrats ass."  I can remember when Republicans at least made the attempt to say they had ethics, and values, and morals.  Not any more.  And if November goes badly for Republicans he's going to strike out in anger.

Prepare Yourself

We had a few showers yesterday afternoon around 4 PM as the cold front moved over us heading eastward.  No terrible storms announced the arrival of cooler temps, but they are here.  For a few  brief days T-shirt and shorts weather returned.  Those temps are fast falling away.  Today's high will be in the low 70s (F), tomorrow's in the high 60s (F).  Overnight lows will be down in the 40s (F).  This is Autumn.

Yesterday was sort of an on and off busy day.  I cleaned windows, I wished that meant that the world was a lot clearer, and it is in my backyard.  I also bought a new pair of work pants at Community Aid.  I suspect that my days of buying new clothing are over.  I am in the casual years of my life, and believe me, they are so nice.

Today is a work day, and because today is the first Saturday of the month there will be a Kid's Workshop taking place.  This means that my afternoon will be spent in the paint department.  

The East Pennsboro Newsletter arrived yesterday detailing everything that's going to be happening in the community for the next quarter.  Besides updating me on what's going on in the senior center, it also let me know that our Halloween parade is October 21.  This is important because they shut down a lot of roads for the parade and on more than one occasion I've had to take a seriously alterative route to get home from work; preplanning is imperative.

I got my mail-in ballot and it's filled out and waiting to go.

Rather than mailing it out, this year I'm going to be driving it to the drop box in Carlisle, a twenty minute ride.  

And you know the Orange Anus is going to try and do screwup the midterms.  He may try to enact the Insurrection Act to put troops at polling places, of course that will be appealed.  Even if there is a Blue Wave, he will be doing as much damage as possible until those Senators and Congressmen are sworn in.  One of the things he'll be doing is selling pardons, lots and lots of pardons.  We'll end up knowing who all is in the Epstein files because he's going to pardon each and every one of them... for a small fee.  Prepare for an onslaught of Executive Orders.  He'll be signing EOs faster than Natalie Harp can change his diaper.  He will also start stealing everything that isn't bolted down... literally.  There will also be wonton destruction in each and every government office; files will be erased, records will be copied and sold to the highest bidder, and computer systems destroyed.  George W.  did something on a lesser scale.  As a result, massive numbers of Americans will rise up and stomp the shit out of the Republican party, the conservative movement, and Evangelical Christians, holding them all to blame.
