Well, here it is Thursday. Outside the temps are in the upper 60s (F). It's nice. They're supposed to climb up into the lower 90s (F) today. That will be nice, too. I do have lawn work to do. Most importantly, however, is the fact that there is no rain in the forecast, not until tomorrow and Saturday, at least. I work Saturday, so the weather is not going to bother me in the least.
Plans for today include not only some yardwork, but a trip to Staples. I simply cannot connect to that HP laser printer. I tried a factory reset and it remains offline. As a last resort I'm going to do a hardwire connection and to do that I need a USB 2.0 A/B cable. No cable was included because it was deemed unnecessary; everything is wireless these days. This will entail rearranging things around my desk. So be it.
Yesterday was one of those, sort of do nothing days because I had lunch with friends. I've known Tami for over 45 years. We used to hit the bars together a long time ago. We don't reminisce a lot, rather we talk a lot about things that are happening now. Her partner Ann just finished reading a book about Johnson & Johnson, and all the terrible things they've done for greed. And, as might be expected, we discussed the Orange Anus because it's good to share detestable thoughts about that losing sack of shit. And, since my blood sugar is a bit high, I celebrated by having a slice of Chocolate Lava Cake for desert. It was tasty, but I don't doubt it was premade, frozen, and then nuked for my gastronomic pleasure.
The Democrats are not getting it. They need MORE inclusion not less.
ReplyDeleteIn their own weird way they're as out of touch as the Republicans and their infatuation with very white 1950s.
DeleteI concur with you both.
DeleteThat cake looks sinful....but delicious!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for David and Malcolm. It's my one gripe about the party. We were once the parry of movers and shakers...and out of the box thinking...moving forward. It saddens me the party is filled with aging politicians and more career politicians getting complacent and no fire in them but a few.
I feel bad for both of them, too. We were Progressive, than Republicans attack our beliefs and rather than fight our party leaders said, "well, we're not really Progressive."
DeleteLove the cake!
ReplyDeleteAnd David was way too 'progressive' for the old school Dems. Their loss.
XOXO
I suspect Pelosi had her hand in this decision.
DeleteA lawyer I dated briefly after my divorce was a big shot merger and acquisitions lawyer for J and J and talk about cutthroat!!! If you have the stomach for it you could read Dopesick about the Sackler family and how they got half of the eastern US hooked on drugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion, but I think I'll pass. People need to become more cynical since these corporations are always looking for an easy mark.
