The Vernal Equinox has arrived! Sadly, this doesn't mean balmy days, rather we have now begun our transition to summer. Temps will fluctuate. Hopefully we'll get rain, though if this year's the same as the past few, most of our seasonal precipitation will not fall until the months of May and June. No longer is the phrase, "April showers bring May flowers." Nope. Still, this past winter was colder than what we've been having so there's a chance that old adage might still be relevant.
Yesterday was a good day. Howie and I went to the park and walked over a mile. That's a lot for him, remember, no matter how big he seems, he's still a puppy. He's got another 2 weeks before he hits 8 months, and he is big.
I also got an upper body workout in. Nice.
Last evening I "beat" Skyrim, as gamers like to say. That means I successfully finished the last "boss" fight. I killed the dragon Alduin, and am now a Dragonslayer. There are still other quests needing to be completed, so I'll probably continue playing the game for a bit, especially since I can now speak dragon.
Did a little yard work. Howie tried to get to the root of the problem, though I don't know what exactly the problem was other than his having a root in the house.
There was a townhall for our local Republican ass Scottie Perry, not that Scottie had any plans to show up. You see, Scottie is one of those spineless Republicans who believes that he can tell Americans how to live their lives without have to answer any of his constituent's questions. Scottie is also one those Republicans who asked the Orange Anus for a pardon at the end of Orangie's first term. Sounds like someone's more a bit culpable.
In Wyoming, Harriet Hageman, a Republican Congress woman who wallows in the MAGA lunacy, was booed, and jeered, and in return mocked her constituents, dyed in the wool Republicans who voted for her. She will never learn. They will vote her out of office.
Democrat Sean Casten, from the Chicago area, had a confrontational townhall, in which the police escorted one of his constituents out of the building.
Let's be honest. A moral degenerate, catering to the a number of different voting blocs, the 2nd amendmenters, the Evangelicals, the anti-vaxers, groups that were happy as pigs in shit he was spouting their lingo to the world, won the election. While dancing around in glee, they would have better spent their time paying closer attention to what the Orange Anus was doing, who he was contacting, and bargaining with, rather than just flippantly ignore him with a "well, that's just the way he is." comment. Now people are up in arms because this isn't what they voted for... sorry, this is what you voted for. So many Americans are to blame for this and not one of them will admit to it. Instead they will point fingers. There are many roots to this problem, but accountability is a big one. No one wants to admit that they are responsible.
Perry wouldn't have the nerve to show up.....I am looking into various local action things currently to par take it.
ReplyDeleteAnd I cant believe how big Howie is getting and so fast. He has a sweet face.The chocolate lab next door is HUGE also for a lab. I can even give him pets over the fence without having to stretch and reach.
I think Howie's about 65 pounds... and still growing.
DeleteOh, the repugs don't show up. Cowards. And when they do, they berate the people who voted for them. Shame.
ReplyDeleteI read about Sean's townhall. Those were plants screaming nonsense about Israel. Sean is a Dem. Repugs in rich neighborhoods hate him and Pritzker.
XOXO
The clips I saw of Sean's problem were of someone complaining about Palestine, and the guy went up on the stage, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a plant.
DeleteThey are running all kinds of ads here about Miss Lindsey and Little Timmy Scott and Nancy Mace not speaking to their constituents. The resistance is real!
ReplyDeleteI don't have cable, so I don't see ads, but I'm betting they're airing up here, too. Good.
DeleteHowie may have thought you were looking for roots in your yard. By the expression on his face, he hoped he was being helpful by bringing you one.
ReplyDeleteActually, it's part of a trade agreement we have, he brings in a root, stick, or stone and I give him a biscuit. He enjoys it a lot.
DeleteSadly no one heeds the wise advice of President Truman, the buck stops here.
ReplyDeleteA man of principle who accepted the responsibilities of his office.
The hypocrite Repubs will just blame the Dems as usual, and accept no responsibility. :\

How true. It's sad to think so many could shrug off responsibility so easily.
