The Eggplant, The Rug, and The BBC

Our outside weather is a bit stinky winky.  We're looking at a temp of 75 (F) with very high humidity that's so thick your finest cottons stick to your skin.  Our high will be in the upper 80s (F).  There is the constant threat of storms, but nothing at all like what we had when the temps were in the upper 90s (F) and low 100s (F).  We are almost halfway through summer and, except for those 2 weeks of torrid temps and tornado like storms, the season has been relatively normal... at least  here in Central PA.

I got a decent upper body workout in yesterday morning.  We've added a few new exercises that I like and started doing leg extensions again.  No squats.  That's fine.

A lot of words were written yesterday, mostly because the threat of rain was to great for me to want to get my extension cords out.  All of my tools are either electric or battery powered.  I learned a long time ago, water and electric simply don't mix.

Tomato sauce is going to be made this afternoon.  This is a good thing.  Mine includes tomatoes, onions, spices, and a touch of wine.  

My schedule for the last week in August was posted yesterday.  I'm scheduled for 13.5 hours.  I had already scheduled the last of my vacation for that week, so I'll end up with 20 + hours.  That's fine.

And I know everyone wanted to see a picture of my eggplant, so here it is!  Impressive, isn't it?  Can you tell I'm very proud?

The only thing more impressive is the picture of Orangie's new rug.

I understand the color is Spun Gold.  And yes, he did wear this yesterday in Las Vegas, and no, this is not AI slop.

Even funnier than that thing on his head, is Orangie's lawsuit against the BBC.  He sued them, claiming their coverage of the January 6 riots led to his financial ruin.  The BBC. who know a shit bird when they see one, said "prove it!  Show us your financial records!"  He has until tomorrow to release the information and instead of doing that, he's running around shrieking and yelling as if that rug on his head was on fire, crying "no, no, no, you need to take my word for it."  And the BBC is having none of his shit.  I'm betting they're going to countersue because he actually did disparage and slander them.  Grab your popcorn.

Abdul El-Sayed

We have 71 (F) outside and the skies are seriously overcast.  Rain is on the way.  The drizzles are supposed to start shortly.  Humidity is not expected to fall... much.  The same forecast is on tap for the next 2 days.  After that we should be getting some sunshine.  Temperatures will also climb a bit, but not much.  Temp wise, we'll probably not crack the 90 (F) mark.

My plans yesterday had been to do some chores in the morning and to then go in and spend a couple of hours getting paid to sit at the flooring desk.  That didn't happen.  The sun was shining.  My yard cleanup was calling, So I made an executive decision and stayed home and played with my chainsaw.  The number of branches on the hill outside my fence is shrinking.  This is a good thing.

For dinner I made tuna noodle casserole.  I haven't made this in years.  I consider this one of my comfort foods, though I really didn't need any comforting.  Of course, I ate way too much.  In fact, a large helping was my breakfast this morning.

And Howie got a brand new toy.  He carried that piece of wood everywhere, even to bed.  This morning, however, I saw his new toy lying abandoned outside.

We had a few primaries yesterday.  Progressive Democrats did well.  Of course, usually anytime a Democrat wins the American people win as well.  Abdul El-Sayed won in Michigan.  A doctor, he is the son of Egyptians and (drumroll please), a Muslim.  You can bet the Christian Nationalists are flipping out this morning.  I'm waiting for them to start gouging out their eyes in protest.

Almost $60 million dollars was spent trying to keep El-Sayed from wining.  A lot of that money came from AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.  The problem with AIPAC is that they are not pro Israel but pro Netanyahu. Old Nettie's genocidal attacks on Gaza are making him very unpopular.  The fact that the Orange Anus and Netanyahu have practically become blood brothers makes accepting AIPAC campaign donations a big fail.  There are those who claim that being anti-AIPAC is the same thing as being an antisemite.  This is a deceit. People who are anti-AIPAC are simply anti-Nettie.

And Republican Senator John Cornyn said on camera that "there is no way to reign in this president."  Translation:  Republicans are so desperate to be in charge that if they have to grovel before the Orange Anus, they will willingly grovel.  They are destroying America and they don't care.  The only thing making their hearts sing is being in charge.
