Primary Positive

So, our temps didn't get up to 98 (F) yesterday,  they only hit 95 (F).  This afternoon, they might hit 90 (F) before the storms move in and cool things down.  For those Memorial Day party people, it looks as though we're going to have a drizzly holiday, at least on Sunday.  By Monday, things should be warming up again, though not into the 90s (F).  

Yesterday was sort of good, sort of meh.  Things got done, and some things didn't.  My bicycle ride in the afternoon was delayed because of a Microsoft update on my sporting laptop.  Usually updates take about 2 minutes, this one took almost 5.  After the laptop finally restarted, I had to close the tab that was going to show me all the new and wonderful things the update was giving me.  About those new and wonderful things, I have checked them out in the past and none of them have ever improved my computing experience.  And, of course, I couldn't sign into the Tacx training app.  There was no screen for me to log in.  So, I turned the laptop off, and then back on, and still had the same problem.  There were other issues, as well. When I finally did get to the log in screen, it timed out before the connection could be made.  Over 40 minutes later it got sorted out and I could finally get in my ride.

I've been working on a short video to introduce The Body in 4/4 Time.  YouTube advertises an editor, however it's only available on mobile, which is not what I want.

On my 3nd playthrough of Expedition 33:  I am approaching the end.  Last evening it took me 25 minutes to kill one of the bigger bosses.  It was so great!  I was so pumped!  Still, I do know that very shortly I'm going to need to start looking for another game to play.  This looks interesting:

Yesterday was primary day in a number of states.  I had been hoping that Massie, from Kentucky, might pull a victory from his hat.  Allies for the Orange Anus spent upwards of $30 million to defeat him, and MAGA cultists did what their demigod wanted.  Massie got 45% of the vote, his opponent, Ed Gallrein got 55% of the vote.  Gallrein is a Netanyahu support, in case you were wondering. The cultists are dancing around like this was the 2nd, or 3rd, or 4th coming.  Massie has 7 months left in office, prediction markets are saying that he's going to take a flamethrower to the GOP.  You have to give it to the cultists, they sure do know and embrace their stupidity.  They actually believe that the 45% of voters who supported Massie are actually going to bow their heads and vote Republican in the primary.  That 45% is just as pissed off as Massie is.  Come November, they will either stay home, or vote Democrat.  The way Orangie's approval rating keeps dropping, many of those voters might actually be voting Democrat for the first time in their lives.  The cultists simply do no know how much America hates Donald J. Trump.

The $1.776 Billion Dollar Theft

Our outside temp here in Central PA is 72 (F).  Last evening, on my drive home from work, the temp was 94 (F).  Today was supposed to just as hot, but now, maybe not so much.  The forecast is for temps to be just shy of 95  (F), which is just a mite cooler than yesterday.  Tomorrow, we should be topping off in the mid 80s (F).  Then we're heading back down to more seasonable temps.

Before going to work yesterday, and after my workout, I did begin to seasonize my house for summer.  The little window A/C unit is now in the training room.  It's a Media which gets good ratings, however, I need to run it on high for it to work well.  Why put a window unit in the workout/computer room?  Because that room has a shared vent with the big bedroom.  Because of the way my vents are set up, the Central Air in my house is super great downstairs, not so great upstairs.  I blame the installer who was more interested in selling an install then in upgrading the venting.  My return vent on the second floor is on the floor.  That does absolutely nothing when it comes to circulating the air.

Flooring was slow yesterday.  After 1:30 PM, I was the only sales specialist at the flooring desk.  There was also an aisle associate, but when I left at 7, it was just him, and him alone.  Needless to say, sales were not good, so the staffing was not needed.  We did do good business in window A/C units, however.  

And yesterday this happened.

It happened just before I went to work, before it became a raging inferno of anger.  This morning, all I could do as I scanned through burning headlines, and scrolled down through the searing comments on social media, I could only wonder at the overwhelming stupidity... and greed, of this president.  And if the theft of tax payer dollars wasn't bad enough, nestled in this agreement is a statement saying that neither this president, nor any member of his family, nor his companies, can ever be audited again.  If this is allowed, he and his children will be allowed to steal and grift for all of eternity.  To say this is not sitting well with the American people would be an understatement.   Some think he's going to use this money to set up his own private army, not me.  That would mean spend money.  He only spends other people's money, never his own.  I think he and his advisors know the midterms are going to be brutal, that he's going to be impeached a third time.  I suspect that this $1.776 billion will be moved someplace safe.  After the Republicans lose badly with the midterms, I think he's going to create as much chaos as possible, and then take the money and run.  This is what he's done in the past, with his bankruptcies.
