Bountiful

 Today is going to be the last day our temps climb in the 70s (F) for some time.  With the rain coming into the area tomorrow, our daily highs will only be in the mid 60s (F).  That's a bit on the chilly side, but is what is considered normal Spring weather.  We are in a transitional season.  Since there is chit chat about a Super Nino this year, I'm suspecting that the longer the transition lasts, the better it will be for this part of the country, least weather wise.

Yesterday was a good day at work.  I got a measure, sold a lot of tile, and signed up a customer for a credit card.  Management will be happy.  All of that happened in the last hour I worked.  The rest of the day was slow.  I got in my steps.   Days like that are fine.  For the most part, I get paid to sit around.

Yesterday morning I also got in a decent workout in.  I'm in an upgrade stage.  More repetitions have been added to a number of exercises and I'm now going to be using 25 pound dumbbells for my bench press.  I'm pleased.  Increased strength means I'm building muscle.  Building muscle is a good thing for those of us who are getting older.  

Of course, yesterday this happened.  The Orange Anus took an extended nap.

Keep in mind, this is just a single screen shot, the video version is much better.  He sleeps for over 2 minutes.  When he wakes up, he looks around with a confused look on his face no doubt wondering just where in Hell he is.   

I'm not a Joe Rogan fan and it's not because he's quite short.  He has no core values, epitomizing the "what's in it for me," influencer.  Lately, however, he seems to be coming to the realization that selling out his ethical compass for fame and fortune may not have been a good thing.  Every now and then he blurts out something on his podcast which indicates being pro Orangie may not have been the solid career move he thought it was going to be.  He spoke out about the Department of Justice shutting down the Epstein files, as an example.  Then yesterday he blurted out that if Orangie though of using the Iran war to shut down the midterms, then the entire nation would rise up against him.  This is true.  This was always the biggest mistake Republicans made in deluding themselves that all they had to do was be in charge.  I would not be surprised if the backlash against Republicans, Conservatives, and billionaires is so bad that many of them will be tried and jailed.  Some of them may try and run, but I wouldn't be surprised to see mercenaries turn into bounty hunters.

Filling up the Gas Tank

Our outside temp is in the low 50s (F).  This afternoon's high will be in the low 80s (F).  I'd say we're moving into another warming trend, however these temps are going to begin sinking tomorrow.  After today, we'll have at least a week of daily high temps in the mid 60s (F).  The forecast is also calling for showers.  Showers are good, especially as we head into growing season.

Yesterday was a decent day.  Laundry was done in the morning.  I also got in a good workout.  In the afternoon, I had lunch with proofreader Don at Dockside Willies.  Their menu is large and it's basically a sit down version of fast food.  I had what they call a stax, chicken on top of french fries, it was decent, however, I ordered peanut butter pie and it definitely tasted as though it had been mass produced.  Unfortunately most of the restaurants around here, even those considered up scale, outsource their desert making.   Don also let me borrow this.  Tick Tock, tick tock.

I received an email from the state, my mail-in ballot should be arriving within the next 7 days.  That baby is always filled out and returned ASAP.  

Yesterday, after lunch, I picked up some things at my local Giant supermarket and then filled up my gas tank.  Giant lets you earn bonus points on your purchases which can be deducted from the cost per gallon.  Yesterday, had I not been able to use those points, it would have cost me $55 to fill up my tank.  Because I don't drive a lot, that fill-up will last me at least 2 weeks.  There are people who don't shop at Giant, who don't get discount points, and who drive much more than I do; their gas expense must be downright exorbitant. 

I understand the Orange Anus read some sort of Bible verse in which the thought he was talking about himself.

Rumors are swirling that he's going to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell.  Isn't this what all pedophiles do?

Finally, his approval rating is down to 33%.  That's the Republican cultists plus about 5% of voters who are wacked out in the brain.   Don't worry, it will keep going down.  Nothing can save him now.  The question is will he get down to 25%?  George W. Bush was that low.  I think that's a doable target.
