Big Balls

Our skies are overcast and our morning temp is 70 (F).  If the weather forecasters are correct, we're not going to break out of the 70s (F) today.  The chance of precipitation inches up a few degrees, but is still negligible.  Both temperature and humidity will be slowly climbing over the next few days.  By Sunday, we should be in he high 80s (F) and the dew point also be high.  By Tuesday, however, rain should be moving into the picture.

Yesterday was... different.  I don't usually follow celebrities on social media since most of their posts are done not by them, but by their personal assistants and are in one way or another promotional.  However, back on July 24 a celebrity posted a bit about a project he was involved with which I found interesting.  Even for non-celebs I always click on their profile to check their bona fides.  There were direct links to both this person's Instagram account and the project he was involved with, so I followed.  Two days later, I received a direct message to my Threads account from someone in this person's organization welcoming me, asking for my preferred pronouns, and where I was located.  I provided the correct pronouns, the same generalized location I give everyone (Central PA), and added a bit about the Eli  and Max mysteries.  Over the next few days a number of direct messages went back and forth concerning Eli and Max, and then the messages stopped.  I waited a day and sent another message, no response. I clicked on the account and found out that it has been entirely deleted.  Wow.  While there is no longer an account, I still have the DMs.  I've taken screen prints of them and emailed them to myself.  Was this a fake account?  Might someone working for this celebrity be on a fishing trip?  The messages all revolved around Eli and Max, how interesting it was that they were together for 19 years, and that they solved murders.  There were no questions about personal information, no requests that I call a specific phone number.  I'm actually enjoying the mystery part of this.  Either today or tomorrow, I will DM this celebrity's profile on Instagram and detail what happened.

Anyway, my walking pad came yesterday.  It folds up nicely.  Now all I have to do is decide in which downstairs room I'm going to put it.

And for those who haven't heard yet, Big Balls was assaulted.  You all remember Big Balls?  The 19 year-old who worked for DOGE?  The one who had access to all of our data?  It happened around 0300 in DuPont Circle.  For those who don't know, DuPont Circle is a prominent gay neighborhood in Washington, DC.  Did I tell you that the police response was at 0300?  Supposedly, 10 black youths were attempting a car jacking.  That's right, there were 10 of them.  Supposedly, a woman was involved and Big Balls pushed her into (?) the car and told her to lock the doors... must have been a very old car.  Anyway, when the police arrived there was no sign of the youths, just a shirtless Big Balls looking like he may have been smacked in the face.  Oh, and the youths stole his IPhone.  IPhones are extremely difficult to sign into without the password.  Did I tell you DuPont Circle is very gay area of DC known for it's bars and bath houses?  Did you also know that DuPont Circle is also considered to be one of the safest places in DC?  Could it be that this group of 10 black youths might just have been after Big Balls?
