Bluntness

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

The Bonding

 To my surprise, yesterday's temps climbed up into the mid 70s (F), and the day turned out to be wonderful.  What a shame I had to work.  Today, unfortunately, will not be a carbon copy repeat.  When I got up the outside temperature was 61 (f), and the only direction it's going to go is down.  According to the forecast, our thermometers should bottom out at 52 (F) for the day's high.

Yesterday much was accomplished, and by that I mean I rowed and I got in an upper body dumbbell workout completed.  Over 400 calories were burned.  I was very pleased. 

Then, because I'm always scheduled for Mondays, I went to work.  Boring.  Even though our garden department and flooring were going strong, when I left I knew we weren't going to be hitting our plan for the day.  We missed our budgeted goal last week by a substantial amount.  I suspect this might be the case from now on.

When I got home, a pair of glasses that I had ordered were in my mailbox.  Green.  Green is one of my favorite colors.  However, the minute I put them on a problem was obvious: the right eye was terribly blurry.  Merde.  So I pulled out my order and saw that I'd keyed in the prescription for the right lens incorrectly, instead of +125, I keyed in -125.  Big difference, and it was my fault.  Those glasses are now in the trash.  I didn't really need to order a new pair of glasses since my eyes haven't changed, so I'll wait a few months before ordering another pair.

Yesterday the Orange Anus had a Meet and Greet with some dictator named Buckle, the spelling might be a bit off, but I'm certain the pronunciation is correct.  We all know how much Orangie loves him his dictators, so no one should have been surprised at the way he fawned over a man who runs the worst prison system in the world.  Why, they even held hands.


Of course, we are now in a Constitutional Crisis because had no problem giving the wannabe dictator immunity for things he did while in office.  The Rolling Stone has a nice piece about how Orangie is laughing at and mocking the Supreme Court.  Paraphrasing their article, Orange and Buckle had a bonding experience.  Believe me when I tell you Orangie wants to be as ruthless as Kim Dumb Jung.  In his twisted mind that represents true power.  As someone said, the ball is now in the Supreme Court's hands.  Will they have him arrested?  Doubts are strong.  

And then this morning I read some frivolity on the NBC news website saying that one of their polls indicated that registered voters were gravitating to the MAGA movement.  Of course, they gave no information about the poll, just that it was one of theirs.  The humor was in their saying that 36% of registered voters now like the MAGA way.  That number hasn't actually changed... in years.  That 36% is the Republican party plus the same 6% of Independent voters who have always leaned Republican.  Nothing has changed even though they want Americans to believe it has.

  1. NBC stands for No Body Cares because their "news" department is a bunch of hacks.

  3. I read an article also that Trump and his administration are going to love the president of El Salvador. By time we're done it's going to be like one big Global mob running the whole planet.

  4. Bummer about the glasses but congrats on the excellent workout. I highly doubt they will have arrested but one can hope.

    1. The workout was great! You have to admire the Republicans, even the low bar they set for themselves is too high.

  5. Ohhh did you do Warby Parker? Same thing happened to me once (they inverted the eyes) and I sent them back right away. No cost.

    And Nayib is a little man with too much power. El Salvador is very poor and he's made himself very rich and corrupt. Sounds familiar? He's heavily invested in crypto and the 'dangerous' gangs who are in that prison actually helped him 'win' his 'presidency'. Corruption attracts corruption. It's a Mafia thing.
    And SCOTUS (or the 'conservative' part of it) are gonna see what Cheeto can do. They enabled him, but we will suffer.

    1. For the local taxes, I do everything myself and just submit online. And the Conservatives on the Supreme Court are getting everything they deserve. Buckle is just the sort of dictator Trump admires, he kills without caution.

  6. Can you donate the glasses? Even the frames are worth something. Lions Club? There are others listed on google. Little Miss Four Eyes, a newer reader.

    1. Sadly, they were picked up by the trashman on Tuesday, though thanks for the information. So many of us don't know everything, but a lot of us know a lot!
