Well, good morning to you all. The outside temps are cool, in the mid 30s, (F) though they're predicted to climb up into the mid 60s (F) this afternoon.
And first off, I need to apologize to Chris Platt for confusing him with that other Chris. He does not work in film, but with The Harmony Project, a group that puts sustainability and nature at the heart of learning.

About a week ago, I nicked my knuckle at work, of course being the knuckle of the forefinger of my right hand, there was an immediate challenge to healing. As a result, it's a little infected. So, this morning, while I'm not licensed to practice in Central PA, I played doctor.
And I did work yesterday. Retail is slow. Without giving away the bank, I can say that we are well below our sales plan for the year. There was some excitement, however! While one of our fork lift operators was pulling a pallet of water softner salt from a top rack, the weight shifted and around 800 lbs. came crashing down into the Paint Department smashing the display. No one was injured, but it was very loud. There was lots of expensive damage.
And one of the headlines I found so uplifting this morning concerns Chucky Schumer, who is "in the worst fight for his political career." Good. One of the Democrats biggest problems is Michelle Obamas comment about taking the "high road." Taking the "high road" does not mean you cannot be aggressive, yet Schumer and other high ranking Democrats seemed to have redefined "the high road," as being complacent. Complacency is not an option. When I read his comment that he was voting for the CR because the Orange anus was going to do shit anyway, I thought: this is like being diagnosed with cancer and deciding not to go through chemo because you'll probably die anyway. I don't think he understands that he crapped on his own legacy, perhaps that thought never crossed his mind, perhaps he was more interested in getting on with his book tour.
Rolling Stone asks if Democrats are tired of surrendering? Damn right. There are way more Democrats in this country than there are Republicans. There are far more people in America that hate the Orange Anus than like him. We need to do more than just put our foot down. The time has come for us to Shake, Rattle, and Roll!
Democrats get lazy at election time thinking the worst won't happen and yet it's happened twice in the last decade.
ReplyDeleteWe need to stand up and speak up and we need our representatives in Congress to do the same, not roll over and play dead.
And I'm looking at you Chuck.
Chuck's scope of vision has narrowed as he's grown older, he doesn't realized Trump is a figurehead president who just wants to play golf and ramble incoherently in front of camera. Others, younger and more hostile to democracy are running the country.
DeleteBoy thank heavens no one was injured. That could have been a hell of a lawsuit if it was a customer or an employee for that matter. I personally don't have anything against Chuck Schumer, but I think a lot of these older Democrats need to step down and let New Blood take over. It's just getting to be the same old same old with them.
ReplyDeleteYes, there needs to be term limits.
DeleteWow, you were all very lucky that no-one was hurt when that forklift accident happened. Still, I suppose that's one way to get the paint mixed, isn't it!
ReplyDeleteWe always block off a number of aisles just in case something like this happens; our customers are not always happy about this.
