Well, we had a red sky this morning. The temps are in the mid 40s (F). We will have added another 10 degrees onto that by the time we reach our highs in the mid 50s (F) this afternoon. Our extended forecast calls for partially sunny days, with showers and thunder storms popping up during the afternoons. For the past few years most of our Spring rains have fallen in May, this year is seems as though we're having the April shower they used to talk about, the ones that bring May flowers. One fact is certain, my lawn is going to need mowing sooner rather than later.
Yesterday, being Sunday, I worked a full day. Flooring ended up having a banner day, though not bannerly enough to make the week successful. I did sign up a customer for a credit card. That means I'll get an additional $5 on a paycheck. Whoo Hoo! Corporate does think that credit is the answer for everything. For some people, it is. I have a friend who is very deeply in debt, and she has mentally conditioned herself to the fact that a certain percentage of every pay check will go to paying that debt off. Rather than cut back on using credit, she keeps adding to it, and I learned a long time ago that bringing up the subject is useless. As I said, she has mentally conditioned herself. This is a big problem with all too many people,
For those who didn't hear, a wacko named Cody Balmer broke into the PA Governor's Mansion and tried to set the place on fire. He had a hammer with him and, according to things he'd written down, planned to beat the Governor to death. To put this into even greater context, Governor Shapiro is Jewish, and this arson and planned murder happened on the first day of Passover. Our governor is also a Democrat. Cody Balmer hates Jews and Democrats. Guess who Cody Balmer really likes? I've been in this room. It used to be beautiful.
Once again I ask: why all the hate from the right? The Felon. Why all the violence from the right? The Felon. Why all the ignorance ... oh you get it. The right.
ReplyDeleteI hope they lock up that guy's ass forever.
I also hope they give him a fat orange cell mate currently residing in the White House.
DeleteThe picture of the room in shambles is the perfect reflection of America under Trump.

The Blue Room in the White House will look like that room when the day comes that felon Trump finally flips out when he is arrested in office as president.

Boy you got that right RJ.
DeleteConsumers and large and small businesses cannot plan and budget expenditures in chaos. The Orange Turd is hell bent on crashing the economy.

And because he's wacked out in the head we know he's winging wearing a blindfold.
DeleteI was in utter shock when I heard the news about the governor's mansion and Tom Shapiro. Me and the Dame were just there at the governor's mansion when we decorated it for Christmas. The game also had Easter Arrangements that were to be taken this weekend He and his wife are swell people. I was getting teary eyed watching him get choked up. And it's scary that this wacko was able to get in the house that close. Thank heavens nothing else worse happened.
ReplyDeleteLuckily the asshole picked the wrong end of the building, otherwise this story might have had an even worse ending.
DeleteA hate crime.
ReplyDeleteIt was a hate crime.
And Cheeto, of course, said the guy 'probably was not a Cheeto fan'. Ugh. As if a deplorable would not idolize the Golden Calf.
XOXO
It was a hate crime. And if Trump actually said anything about it, that would surprise me since it wasn't in praise of him.
DeleteI just about can't bear any of the news these days. It's all just so fucking horrible and scary and unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteI agree. This is not going to end well for Republicans, and... probably not billionaires either.
DeleteI was shocked that hater actually made it into the governor's residence after starting the fire. I'm glad he didn't get to Gov. Shapiro. The hammer makes me think of what happened to Paul Pelosi.
ReplyDeleteLove,

That's an 8 foot high wrought iron fence, the top is sharp points, so I'm wondering how he even made it over with Molotov cocktails and a hammer.
DeleteI saw about the attempt on the Governor (and his family). My first thought was that it was because they're Jewish, and my next thought was how the hell did he get that close to them??? Thank goodness they were all safe!
ReplyDeleteThat was my first thought, too. Shapiro is very popular, even among Republicans. As I noted to Junie, that fence was high and pointy; you'd have to be crazy to scale that thing and, from what I've been reading, this guy is nuts.
