You Snooze, You Lose

Starting the morning off with an outside temp of 70 (F) this late in the Spring should start alarm bells ringing.  These are mid July temps, not early June temps.  Still, if the forecasters are correct u=our high this afternoon will hit the mid to upper 80s (F).  Of course, yesterday we had a 1% chance of rain and some serious thunderstorms spread through the area in the late afternoon.  We can only wonder what today will bring.

I did work yesterday, however I wasn't in the flooring department.  Nope.  I spent most of my time in the paint department.  I like working paint.  In fact, at some point, when I no longer want to deal with installations and the problems that go with them.  Like... well, take yesterday for example.  Right after I punched in, I was informed that one of my customers had been in to complain.  They weren't fuming.  Nope.  The were outraged and loudly verbally bashed everyone within hearing distance with their anger.  The installers had shown up yesterday morning to install their new carpet, however the mill had shipped the wrong carpet.  This was not something we did, it was totally the responsibility of the manufacturer.  As a result, the customer will get a credit to their account, which means my sales figure will be reduced.  New carpet will be ordered at a greatly reduced price, which will again effect my sales.  This is why I will, at some point, have no problem moving to paint.

And here's a picture of Orangie sleeping without Biden taking a selfie, or writing on his forehead.

It's my understanding that a lot, if not all, of the A Listers that Orangie invited to his UFC Cage Match are sending RSVPs that are, "no thanks."  It's not that they're even attempting to be socially polite by saying "thanks, but no thanks," they're simply saying "nah, I got better things to do."  Dwayne Johnson, said "nope," as did Jared Leto... though I don't know if I'd call him an A Lister, and the same goes for Mario Lopez.  Mario who?  Though I do understand that Dean Cain, who at first didn't get an invite but then did, will be in attendance.  If this keeps up, Orangie's going to need to do 2 sit down rallies.

And how about that Tommy Tuberville voter fraud?  It always turns out to be the Republicans, doesn't it?

Karma is a Bitch

Well, we have another sunny day ahead of us here in Central PA.  Our high temp should be floating just around the 90 (F) mark, meaning it's going to be hot enough to make things slightly uncomfortable for some.  As long as the humidity stays low, this is not a bad temp.  The long range forecast implies humidity will not be rising.  This is a good thing.  However, the lack of rain means I'll need to be watering my garden daily.

Things I did do yesterday:  move an old wheelbarrow that I'm going to turn into a raised flower bed - things need to be above ground to keep Howie from peeing on them.  Also, the idea is to make the space around the raised bed veggies as happy a place as possible for the bees and other buzzy things needed to pollinize.

 A very decent bike ride in Corsica. I like riding in Italy.  I should really visit.

 I'm still editing through the book.  My cover artist is in the process of moving.  She's saying another 2 weeks maybe.  This is probably a good thing as I'm still finding bits and pieces that I feel need to be changed.  At the same time, I want to put this baby to bed.  I have a bunch of notes on the next book, and I can't wait to start, but I have rule:  never start the actual writing until the last book is published.

And you know, Karma is a real bitch.

As Six and others pointed out, the Asshole held what was supposed to be a roundtable meeting in Wisconsin yesterday but which was ostensibly nothing more than a mini-rally.  He sat through the entire event and then needed assistance taking the one step down off of the stage.  Now, I don't know about you, but it seems to me as if his administration suddenly seems to be ramping up not only his vanity projects, but the 2025 Project as well.  One would almost think they understand how fast time is running out for them.  Could this be why Republicans in both Congress and the Senate are beginning to break from him?

And I'm going to wonder how they're going to handle the June 14 birthday celebration.  I'm suspecting the entire event will be televised with him rambling for an hour and a half sitting behind his desk in the Oval Office.  I'm also willing to be that the only network to carry that event will be Fox News.
