December Morning

 This morning started off brisk, that is if your definition of brisk is 19 (F).  Yepper, it was that cold when I climbed out of bed.  The skies are overcast, though weather forecasters are calling for partial sun later today, with the temps popping up into the mid to upper 30s (F).  And it's not yet winter!  Of course, and I'm going to repeat, so far we are experiencing the same weather pattern we've had for the past several years: nights with temps down in the teens, and days when the temperature has barely hit freezing.  And then in early to mid January, things warm up and daily highs are in the mid 40s (F).  We shall have to see if the pattern holds true.  If it does, this is another example of climate change.

Yesterday, the day after Black Friday, the store was busy in the morning.  I missed that, since I didn't start to work until 2 PM.  I have the same schedule today and tomorrow.  This was my schedule back during Covid, except I was working 5 days a week.  Now it's either 3 or 4, and as we get deeper into winter the number of days is likely to decline.  That's fine, too, unless, of course, the Orange Anus decides to screw around with Social Security.

I'm trying something new for breakfast, cooked barley.  I've been eating Grape Nuts for years now, and I've decided that it's time for a change for two reasons:  Even though it's supposed to nutritious, I suspect it's probably closer to eating cardboard than anything else, and it's expensive (but than so is every breakfast cereal).  It's also part of the Mediterranean diet, not that I follow one diet plan, but I've always been one to try and eat as healthy as possible.

And if you don't own a Bible and don't mind buying into blasphemy, there's this:

It's leather bound and is, in case you didn't notice, the official signature edition, for just $1000.  Most Bibles have two simple words on the cover, Holy Bible.  This one?  The Orange Anus needs his name and title on the cover in what's known as the Top Billing space.  He is... basically, taking credit for the Holy Bible.  This is what every Evangelical has prayed for:  Donald J. Trump destroying Christianity.

Oh, and he wants Kash Patel to run the FBI.  Republicans refuse to understand that a majority of Americans will not stand for an authoritative government.  They will have to be taught a lesson, won't they.
