Potty outside

 Well, I got up late after getting up early.  Someone had to do his "potty outside" at 0430 this morning.  After his business was done, we both went back to bed and slept until nearly 0700.  That little "potty outside" break took about 20 minutes.  Oh, and it was raining rather heavily, which meant we needed to play "towel off the soaking wet puppy," for about 20 minutes.  I'm sure this might have made someone else grumpy, but not me.  There are far worse things happening in the world then having to house train a puppy.

Like having to deal with a self-serving customer, as I had to yesterday.  She has been in the store several times buying wire shelving which her "friend," Chris is assembling for her.  In her mid-thirties, indecisive and demanding, the shelving in her closet collapsed, with the brackets tearing out of the walls.  She has dealt with both myself, and a fellow associate who got to see pictures.  Yesterday, I cut a piece of wire shelving and had to tape the ends to keep them from tearing the leather interior of her car.  Nothing satisfied her.  Honestly, I'd rather get up at 0430 in the morning to take Howie "potty outside," than have to deal with her again.

I'm liking this late shift, only starting at 1 or 2.  Because this is Thanksgiving week, I don't work again until Saturday, which I'm simply loving.

And, speaking of the Howser, here he is yesterday in the leaves.

Of course, quite a few Americans are frustrated because the Orange Anus' court cases have all been put on hold until he is either impeached a 2nd time, or out of office.  And who are most American's blaming for this destruction of justice?  Merrick Garland, who's lament about not wanting Trump's prosecution appear political has led us to this point in history.  This failure will be the footnote he gets in history books.

Another big problem we had to deal with is that the Biden administration wanted to deal with this as though it was "the same as it ever was."  Wrong.  Nothing stays the same.  Everything changes.  While his infrastructure bill has achieved a lot, the pace for everything was the same as it was 50 years ago.  And now we're all going to pay the price... well, let me amend that, Americans who are billionaires will be paying the price.  I don't doubt for a minute that some will not survive.
