Crypto Whales

 Golly, gee whiz!  Here we are starting off the Memorial Day weekend, one of the biggest weekends for some retailers, and our outside temp is 51 (F).  The sun is out, though, so I guess that counts for something.  Don't worry, though, showers are in the forecast for later today.

I switched out the Dell keyboard I was using for an older Logi model this morning.  The Logi had been gathering dust upstairs, and the Dell?  Well, it had gotten very sticky.  Some times you needed to hit the space bar twice.  The mouse is still good; it's now attached to my sporting laptop.  The keyboard is in the trash.  However, if something happens to this Logi keyboard I'm going to have to buy another.

Yesterday was a busy, not busy and sometimes nappy type of day.  I did a load of laundry and put it out on the drying rack since the day started off sunny.  However, a few hours later, that load was brought in and thrown into the dryer because rain began falling.  A lot of cleaning was done.  It used to be my practice that when I was working on a book, I'd have a framed photo sitting on my desk, for example, I had an 8 x 10 glossy of the Tholos of Athena when I was writing The Body in History.  Honestly, it just added to the clutter on the desk, so that practice has stopped.

I baked a nice loaf of cinnamon raisin bread.  Delish.  I like to eat it toasted, with lots of butter and sugar on top.  Did I tell you it was delish?

So the Orange Anus had a crypto dinner and Northern Virginia golf club yesterday.  Honestly, this pic doesn't make it look like the classy event he bragged it up to be, does it?

Rolling Stone implied this was just another one of his cash grabs in which investors overpaid and got nothing in return.  Here's a bit from their article.

 But while the 25 biggest $TRUMP whales were treated to a more exclusive reception with the president, it seems the rest forked over that cash for little more than one another’s company, a reportedly sub-par meal, and generic remarks from Trump, who didn’t even stick around to meet anyone before catching a golf cart back to his helicopter.

I had to chuckle that they used the word "whale."  For those of you who don't know what a whale is, and I'm not talking about the sea dwelling mammal, a whale is someone who owns a large amount of Crypto who can move the crypto market significantly by either selling or buying large amounts of crypto.  Since crypto is a scam, these are wealthy scam artists who have no problem stealing investors money.  I find the fact that Orangie scammed those people who have invested heavily in his $Trump scam rather amusing.  They deserve everything they didn't get.
