The Distraction

 Well, a storm went through yesterday.  I was getting all sorts of warnings:  lightning is striking in your area;  heavy winds are a blowin'; flash flooding is probably inevitable.  We got a steady rain for about 20 minutes.  No lightning.  No thunder.  No gusting winds.  All of that stormy stuff went to our north and south.  The temps did drop, however, and the humidity dissipated.  Predictions are for on and off rain for the next 2 days, with us getting as much as an inch tomorrow.  After that temps are supposed to hang around in the low to mid 80s (F).

Yesterday was better than the day before as far as getting things done.  After doing a search on laptops with nonfunctioning screens, I did a power reset on the writing laptop and got it working again.  Since there was already a problem, that one has now become my permanent sporting laptop and the sporting laptop, which is a much better computer, is now my main writing/research laptop.

I looked over the results of the bloodwork I had done on Tuesday.  Everything is fine, except for my glucose.  I'm pre-diabetic.  I was pre-diabetic last year as well.  And the same for the year before that.  My mom had the same problem and my sister is diabetic, so this is something which runs in the family.  As you can probably tell, I'm not that worried.

Orangie and Elonia are still not talking and one can only guess how much vitriol they are spitting at each other behind the curtain; quite a lot, I'd presume.  So much, they needed a really big distraction and so Orangie decided to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back from El Salvador to face phony charges.

You did notice how quickly this miracle came about, didn't you?  And to sweeten the distraction, they're charging him with human trafficking. Where's Maddie when you need her to be stopping the car?  Of course, so many are falling for this gimmick.  The only reason Kilmar is coming home is to change the conversation; stop people from talking about the Orangie/Elonia shit show. 

Of course there's too much other stuff going down as Orangie's reign of Chaos seems to be picking up speed.  The jobs report claimed 139,000 jobs had been created while the ADP report claimed 37,000.  While there's usually a variance between the two reports, the differences have never been this widely off.  If this report is accurate than the government would have needed to have hired almost 100,000 individuals into government jobs.  Don't worry, this administration is going to lie about  inflation, too.
