Fetterman vs Perry

Today's temps are predicted to climb into the mid 80s (F) and only a few clouds will scuttle across the sky to hid the sun making the day rather summer like.  Tomorrow temps are supposed to drop back into the mid 70s (F), which is still fine by me.

Yesterday was fairly productive with some yardwork being done, but mostly in my arrangement of a bucket garden for veggies.  I have a puppy who loves his peat pots, everything will need to be raised higher than his head.  To do this, I'll be using cinder blocks to lift up what had been the base of my treadmill.  The buckets, which I picked up at the store, will be sitting on the running platform. Because the platform is made of OSB, I'll probably replace it with tile.  I will post a picture when it's complete.

Scheduling was lite yesterday in the Flooring Dept.  I was the only specialist scheduled, so when I left at 7 there was no one at the desk for the rest of the night.  A couple came in around 10 minutes before I was set to leave and I helped them, staying later than I had been scheduled.  They could alleviate this issue by hiring a part-time specialist to work evenings, but that would mean additional payroll expense and corporate would prefer inferior customer service rather than take on additional payroll cost.

And, as I said, Cori gave me the cover art for The Body in History yesterday.  And, as usual, here is a pic of the back.  

I use a credit union rather than a bank, and the House of Representatives is looking at legislation which will impose certain fees on credit unions, fees which would be passed on to customers since the Federal Government desperately needs to find revenue to pay for the Billionaire Tax Cut.  Because of this, I sent letters urging both my congressmen and senators to vote against this legislation.  I received a nice response on Senate letterhead from Fetterman, and even though he's been somewhat of a joke here lately, his official response was positive.  Scott Perry, on the other hand, replied with a generic email that was not on House letterhead, an unofficial response telling me to fuck off, in somewhat more polite language.  I filed Fetterman's response, however I replied to Perry: 

"What, no letterhead?  This is one of the many reasons I didn't vote for you.  I suspect that in an attempt to avoid getting arrested for treason, you will end up relocating to Russia, where you will buy a beet farm so you can eat your own borscht."

Since his response did not originate from an official email account, I'm certain my response will be circular filed, as we used to say in accounting.
