Wobbly

 Our temps are in the upper 50s (F) and it's drizzling.  We did get a whopper of a storm last night.  Hefty winds brought down a number of small branches and... our power went out.  Total Blackness.  For some reason, I woke up just before it went dark.  I was lying in bed looking at the small light on a surge protection when it went off, so I got up and went to the window to see every light in my neighborhood was off.  Things are very dark when there are no streetlights.

This morning, a little after 6, the power came back on.  I did check with PP&L  when I got up an hour earlier to see how large the outage was and it was just in my nook of the world.  What seemed so significant was not the lack of light, rather it was my disconnection from the Internet.  I was glad my phone was charged.  According to my power provider there were1514 homes in my area without power, though we were not an isolated incident.  A bigger map showed many isolated incidents within an 80 mile radius.  Another surprising fact:  storm warnings were not issued.  Usually we get all sorts of warnings: high winds, heavy rains, lightening in you area.  Last night we got nothing.  

Elonia showed up at the Oval Office sporting a black eye yesterday.  He blamed his meat shield.  Only Muskovites are buying that story.  Some few thought maybe Stevie Miller's knuckles gave him a kiss, but Stevie's soon to be ex-wife is apparently cheating with a different Doger.  Many believe he got his shiner from a Ketamine high fall.  Supposedly, he's been using the drug so heavily he has problems peeing straight, which means he's wobbly.

And Orangie said he's going to raise steel tariffs up to 50%.  In other words, the countdown has started to the next order of TACOs.

Orangie is also touting the US Steel/Nippon Steel deal.  For those who need a translation, that means American workers are going to suffer.  You see in his mind, it's all about the look of the deal, the appearance of success, and one or two of his billionaire cronies will reap  the rewards, but the American worker, those people who toil and sweat in the steel mills, (what few there are left)?  Well, they are a minor, necessary loss.
