Paying Dearly

 And another nice day is on top for Central PA.  The temps are again supposed to climb into the low 80s (F) and sunshine is predicted to glorify the land, and... since it is Thursday, I do have to work.  That's sad.  However, there is a bit of a consolation prize for working today... we have the same forecast for tomorrow and I never work Fridays.

Yesterday was sort of meh and sort of not.  I got much done, but not as much as I'd wanted to.  I didn't get a chance to clean the aquarium in the living room, but I did discover that three of my fish are missing.  One is obviously dead, as he was floating at the bottom.  The other two?  They probably suffered the same fate.  I've decided that once the fish are gone, the aquariums will go, too.

I'm hoping to have The Body in History published by the end of next week.  And then it's on to the next book in the adventure of Eli and Max.  I've been taking notes on something I'd was going to call The Body in 4:4 Time, a musical mystery, so to speak, and then this morning, as I was watching a breeze dance through the leaves on the bushes next to my house, I thought I caught a flash of movement.  I instantly thought of a great title:  The Body in the Shadows.  For those interested, I will tell you that the titles always come first, and then I build the story around them.  There are shadows during the day, and there are shadows at night, an sometimes things hide in the shadows.

I began playing Expedition 33 last evening.  It is so much fun!  Something called the fracture happened 67 years ago during which a piece of mainland France broke away to become an island.  Every year since then, there has been a gommage, or a pealing away of people of a certain age.  At the start of the game you find out that no one is alive over the age of 33 and that the next peeling away is about to happen.  After everyone who's 33 dies, you embark on an expedition to the mainland to attempt to put a stop to this yearly dying.  It is a fascinating concept.

And the above report card says everything you need to know about the Orange Anus' administration.  That 23%?  That's the hard core cultists, what used to be the Republican party.  They have so much hatred for everything they cannot control.  Someone said that the Chinese would eat dirt rather than submit to Orangie's tariffs.  The people making up that 23% would have no problem eating dirt for Orangie.  60% of Americans hate him.  The Greenies?  They have no problem deporting American citizens to Rwanda.  For those of you who missed it, Orangie's administration announced that they had reached and agreement to deport US citizens to prison camps in Rwanda.  How fascist is that?  The big problem for group A is that they have to deal with groups, C, D, and F.  And, in their cultist state of mind, they have no idea how clueless they are.  In the end, they are going to pay dearly for their ignorance.
