Eating dirt

 Sunday Funday is here.  Well, I don't really know how much fun it going to be had.  The temps are sitting in the mid 40s (F) and the wind is blowing, some might even say it's breezy as Hell, if Hell is breezy that is.  We'll be warming up into the low 60s (F).  

Because we have sunshine and milder temps the store might be busy this morning.  Working in retail, I can tell you there is a large group of people who do not attend any sort of religious services on Sunday morning, unless, of course, buying a patio set is religious experience for them.  As is the case every Sunday, usually after 11 AM, the church crowd will arrive.  They stand out because they're still wearing their Sunday finest, men in suits, usually Navy blue, and women in boldly colored dresses.  I always find it amusing that the vast majority of women look like they're ready for a hot night on the town rather than a church service, I suppose the believe that hot and gaudy is synonymous with rich an arrogant, neither of which should apply to a Christian, unless it's a Republican Christian.

Our retail plan has not been too successful this past week, we are deep in the red.  This is how it goes.  One of our associates was arrested, and while that actually has nothing to do with our not making plan, it does have something to do with money.  This is always the case.  In my 16 years of working with the Orange retailer, this is the third time I'm aware of the police being called to take someone away in handcuffs.  Idiot.  

Here's an updated pic on the oregano I'm growing on my window sill.

And the Orange Anus caved again yesterday: laptops, phones, and computer chips.  The Chinese gave him nothing in return.  Xi is going to make Orangie eat dirt.  There are those who are saying that this wasn't really a cave-in, but rather the tariff relief that Apple, and Microsoft, and IBM, and a slew of others paid for when they bestowed their $1 million dollar gifts on Orangie after he was elected.  Me, I don't think that's the case simply because of the ratio of money gifted to money saved.  These companies are going to save hundreds of millions without having to deal with tariffs and I can't believe Orangie would give them that sort of gift while only getting a measly million in return.  This doesn't meant that there isn't some sort of behind the scenes shenanigans in which he gets paid under the table.  Making this more interesting, is the fact that we haven't hear neither hide, nor hair of a crow coming from him.  He's not bragging about being successful.  Mostly because Xi made him eat dirt.
