The Party of Selfishness and Greed

 It's cold here in Central PA.  17 (F).  And it's not going to get much warmer.  The temps are only expected to rise another 11 degrees.  After today, however, things are expected to begin warming up.  If this year is anything like the last 2, winter should now begin to warm up.  I'm expecting this since the weather pattern over the last few weeks has matched that of previous years.  Of course, I could always be wrong.

And I did work yesterday.  Boring.  And sadly, they decided to bring in food from Olive Garden for the cashiers.  Since I am a backup cashier, I got to graze most of the afternoon on spaghetti, and linguini.  The chicken alfredo was fine for fast food.  That's one thing you always need to consider when eating at Olive Garden, or Red Lobster, or Chipotle, all of the food is packaged pre-cook.  The scrumptious, garlic bread sticks are all made in a food factory.  All the cooks at Olive Garden do is pop them in the oven for twenty minutes.  Nothing is ever cooked from scratch, and because it's fast food it's always high in fat and sodium... tons of sodium.

Howie broke the sheets!  Well, the bottom sheet.  His nails are sharp, and a few weeks ago they caused a small tear which I fixed with an iron on patch.  That patched bothered him.  It was underneath, so he could see the outline, but not the patch itself.  This morning, he dug up what he thought was buried treasure and put a foot long tear in the sheet.  It wasn't.  Later this morning that sheet will be replaced with another.  I'd thought momentarily about cutting it up for rags, then realized I still had rags left over from the last bottom sheet one of my dogs broke, so it will go into the trash.

Here's a pic I took of Harrisburg this morning.  If you look between the branches, you can see the capital building.

I don't know how many of you saw, but Lara Trump has taken her name out of consideration for the Senate seat of Marco Rubio.  As everyone on Social Media knows, this is a good indicator that Ronnie DeSantis was not going to pick her.  Was it because she would be, as everyone seems to think, a total incompetent at the job?  Or could it be a quiet swipe at the phony bastion of power the Orange 
Anus thinks he holds?  Perhaps she's not being chosen because Ronnie's pissed that Orangey has been taking so many of  loyal, DeSantis Republicans.  

And even Main Stream Media seems to be somewhat pleased that the Elonia / Orangey alliance appears to have run into a brick wall.  Small majorities are not a mandate.  The fact that Republicans removed funding for Pediatric Cancer Research touched a sore spot with so many Americans.  Someone said that Republicans need to learn to stop saying "no."  That might be impossible since they are the part of selfishness and greed.
