Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Open Day on Billionaires

 Yesterday was nice and breezy, today is not going to be a carbon copy.  Temps are expected to rise into the 70s (F), but occasional showers will persist, and then overnight temps are predicted to drop.  The next 3 days look like on and off showers, lots of drizzles.  This is a good time to plant some grass seed in those bare patches.

Even though I was busy yesterday, most of my time was spent on disassembling my treadmill.  What seems like hundreds of screws and bolts were removed.  Many pieces were carried downstairs, some were thrown into the trash.  No matter how much you might want to, I can tell you with all honesty that the pieces of one treadmill are too many to fit in the oversized garbage can that I have.  Rather than pay an extra charge for them to pick it up, I get rid of it over 3 consecutive garbage pickup days.  As I type, the only thing left upstairs is the base.  What surprised me the most in the disassembly was that you're actually running on a piece of HDF or High Density Fiberboard.  In case any of you were wondering, I did have help.  This also gives you an idea how big Howie is at 8 months.


As expected, the Orange Anus revealed his tariff plan yesterday.  The Wall Street Journal said it was "buy another yacht day for the swamp."  For those who aren't aware, Rupert Murdoch, the same Rupert who owns Fox Entertainment, owns the Wall Street Journal.  I don't think Rupie's too happy.  Rolling Stone talked about Orangie's disassociation with the American people, focusing on his persistent use of the groceries, something he's probably never bought in his life.  More than one Economist has suggested that he seems to be attempting to turn the clock back to before the great depression of 1929, back to an era when greed ruled the world.

Notifications are flying in as Wall Street and the world reel.  I understand that even the penguins on the Heard and McDonald Islands are stamping their feet.  I do suspect that in the demented mind of the Orange Anus the world will bow down and cave.  That's not going to happen.  In truth, they will reciprocate even as they seek other trading partners to compensate.  Better deals will be struck between China and the world.  I wouldn't be surprised if the masses in America rise up, and, as someone else has said, we might have open day on billionaires.

  1. Bring on the consequences for the magat voters. Of course, we'll all suffer, but we're already suffering and the sooner everything goes to shit, the sooner we can get rid of the Felon and his enablers. It's not going to be pretty, but we knew that back in November. FAFO is in effect!

    1. It is going to be ugly, the kind of Ugly Trump is not prepared for.

  2. I am dying watching all these GOP politicians saying tariffs are taxes. I mean, before these last two election losses and the close races in Flori-duh, none of them said a word.
    Now they're trying to save their asses.
    FOAD.

    1. But only partially trying to save their asses, they still voted to confirm Oz, and they're still pushing the tax break for the rich.

  3. Howie does not look happy that that treadmill is going. Shoot, if he didn't have time to walk him you could have just turned it on low and let him walk on it and then his exercise is in! LOL. I'm enjoying all this chaos right now surrounding the dump.

    1. Howie gets a lot of running, and playing fetch in the back yard. And if you think the chaos is bad now, wait until tomorrow if the markets don't reverse themselves.

  4. Do you not have a recycling centre near you for the treadmill? We have no garbage pick up at all so have to take everything to local bins (there are plenty) and I'm off to the recycling centre for the rest this afternoon!

    1. Only for vegetation. I have to send a text to Waste Management so they will pick up the base on my next garbage pickup day. At one time you could put one piece out every week, now you have to notify them because trucks are automated to simply pick up your garbage can. I'll talk about it in my blog today.
