The First Sybil of Billionaires

 When I woke up this morning the outside temp was 50 (F), it is now 47 (F), so I guess that might be an indicator of how the day may be going.  According to the forecasters, temps are going to continue to drop throughout the week.  Next week, we're supposed to be getting some actually... well possibly, temps that will... maybe be close to frigid.  The low temp is already beginning to rise.

I worked yesterday.  Boredom reigned.  I did do design a roller shade for a customer, who was disappointed the same fabric couldn't be used in a Roman Shade.  I showed her the fabrics she could use for Roman Shades and she was unimpressed.  She also balked at the $400 price tag for one blind, so I told her to wait for a sale, they run sales weekly.  Most people who are buying blinds or shades now are usually waiting for the sale pricing.  Keep in mind that even with sale pricing those companies selling them are still making boodles of money.  There is no such thing as a deal.  Most people don't understand this.

Howie destroyed another one of those sofa pillows that I've given him as toys.  It's a lot cheaper than buying him stuffed toys to shred.  In fact, the only difference is that the pillows don't have squeakers.

And, sadly, Jimmy Carter passed away yesterday.  The outpouring of sympathy from both Democrats and Republicans, as well as world leaders is amazing.  He was a man of honor, who, in his final mortal act, has done something remarkable.  All American flags need to be set at half-mast for a full 30 days after a president dies as the nation mourns its loss.  So, on January 20, when the Orange Anus is sworn into office, flags will be at half-mast and the nation will be mourning.

And while the tributes for Carter come in from all corners of the world, Elonia has been spending a lot of time on Twitter complimenting himself as Adrian Dittman.  That's right, there's more than one Elonia in the world, though Adrian is a figment of imagination, perhaps the invisible childhood friend who was never left behind.  Adrian is not an alter-ego, in case you're thinking that.  Nope.  In Elonia's mind he's real.  I honestly don't doubt that eventually Elonia is going to be diagnosed as the first Sybil of Billionaires.
