Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Board of Peace Grift

Here in Central Pa, we've had steady rain throughout the night.  It was quite heavy at times.  Our current temp is sitting at 36 (F).  Our thermometers should be climbing about another 10 degrees today.  Tomorrow temps will be warmer and  we should have sunshine.  That's good.  We need a chance to dry out a little, since there's more rain heading our way next week.

And yesterday was kind of a meh day.  I had lunch with my reader Don.  We went to Black and Bleu.  They used to specialize in seafood, but seem to have migrated their menu to more of beefy burger, chicken, and pasta.  I had one of the chickeny pastas with smoked gouda.  It was delicious when I ate it, however, four hours later when I was still tasting the gouda, I realized I'd made a poor choice.  Even the prescription Omeprazole I take didn't work.  I took some of my lunch home thinking I'd eat it later.  Nope.  Even Howie didn't find it interesting, but then he's a very picky eater.

My sister called to tell me she saw that RFK Jr semi-naked non-sexual tryst with Kid Rock on TV.  She's horrified that she may never unsee that ice bath.

I did get another chapter finished in the book, but otherwise it was a relatively quiet evening.

And thought I show you the copies of the Wine Spectator magazine I'm getting.  I've already put them to good use in regard to the new book since Eli and Max are basically wine connoisseurs.  That sounds better than saying they're winos.  Believe me, they would never stoop so low as to drink Gallo.


And in case you're wondering, the world is desperately looking forward to see all the FBI and DOJ files the United States has on aliens and UFOs.  I don't doubt the administration was expecting to use bombing Iran as a distraction, unfortunately, they've run into a bit of a problem.  You see one the airbases they like to use is jointly owned by the British and the Brits are saying that this is a no go.  Ouch.

Another not so nice thing the Orange Anus did yesterday was volunteer to give $10 billion in American tax dollars to his Board of Peace.  Now I'm certain that there are those in his cult who are cheering wowza! wowza!  However, this is just another way for him to steal money from America.  Believe me, Orangie has no problem with that.  He's been a thief all of his life and he's not about to stop now.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die

 Once again our overnight temp did not drop below freezing.  Right now we're sitting at around 37 (F).  Cloudy skies are in the forecast, however, and they will keep our afternoon temps down.  Still, after 2 weeks of not cracking the 20 (F) this is downright balmy.  By Saturday, we should be up in the 50s (F), but only briefly.  Temps will fall.  We are, after all, still in winter for another 29 days.

And yesterday was meh, not because I didn't want to do anything.  My eye exam, however, put the kibosh on doing a number of things.  Overly bright and blurry meant I couldn't read or write until mid afternoon.  As for my eyes?  They're the same as they were last year.  Nothing has changed.  As proof of this, the glasses I wore to the exam were over 2 years old.  This is a good thing.  

This doesn't mean that I didn't get any editing in, I did.  

There was also a surprise.  When I checked my mail I found 2 print copies of Wine Spectator.  Now, I will admit to enjoying the leisurely glass of wine every now and then, but there's no way I would spend $48 for subscription.  Still, when I checked the mailing label the subscription is good unto 12/26.   While some of the wines listed are expensive, there are quite  few that are quite affordable.

Since the dilation period was over by mid-afternoon, I went to the movies last night to see Good Luc, Have Fun, Don't Die, which is kind of an action, comedy, sci-fi thriller about AI taking over and destroying the world.  Except, there's this guy who comes back in time, he's done it 117 times already, to stop the AI.  I liked it.  Sam Rockwell is good as the unnamed protagonist.  The visuals were at times mesmerizing.  


And, for those of you living deep inside a cave, Prince Andrew, i.e. Randy Andy, was arrested this morning in conjunction with the Epstein files.  The charge is for misconduct.  Apparently UK authorities believe Andy was giving Epstein secret government information.  There will probably be a trial.  Of course one of the difficult questions is whether Randy did this willingly, or if he was being blackmailed by Epstein because of earlier dalliances with under age women.

Unfortunately, this arrest increases the chances that the Orange Anus will launch an attack against Iran. With so many other countries in the world taking down sultans, and princes, and people of government, except the United States, a big distraction is called for.  Orangie has no problem putting American lives in jeopardy, in sending them off to their deaths, in order to save his own ass.  I don't doubt for a second that he and his best friend Jeff were two of a kind.  The Evil runs deep in his soul.
