Relying on Dishonesty

 So, that damn cold is hanging on just like that old Supremes' song that all too easily send an ear bug into your brain.  Normally, when I get a cold it's here and gone in the blink of an eye.  This one?  Evidently I'm dealing with a slow blink.

On the other hand, our weather is nice.  The nights have been cool and good for sleeping.  Our days have been warm, upper 70s (F) and low 80s (F).  Yesterday we had rain... twice.  The first time was in the afternoon and Howie was out and got wet.  So, he and I had a fun game of towel, towel, who's got the towel.  Then last evening a thunderstorm moved through the area and we had more rain.  

And I've been wrangling with  CDW, the company that sold me the broken Xerox printer.  While they did replace it, as should be, they don't want to pay UPS to pick it up at my house.  The customer service rep emailed me, "but that would cost us money."  So, I've got to load a71 lb. (32 kg) printer into my car and drive it over to the UPS store.  Well... damn.  After reading that email, the first thing I did was go out and punch in the hand holds in the box to make carrying it easier.  I was a bit surprised when I picked it up; it wasn't that heavy.  Later this morning, I'll drive it over to UPS.  CDW?  If they send me a review, will have to deal with some professionally scathing comments.

Here's a pic of Howie and the gaming towel.

And RFK Jr testified yesterday and it was a rough day for him.  Good.  This guy has a liberal arts degree in history.  He has never taken a single medical course while in college.  He's also openly admitted to injecting heroin for 14 consecutive years.  Yesterday he was called a liar to his face multiple times.  He would say, "I never said that," and both Republican and Democratic congressmen had the receipts.  They quoted him verbatim, and still he lied.

Yesterday ADP released their jobs report for the month of August.  It was dismal.  Only 54,000 jobs were created in the US.  Companies are simply not hiring.  The biggest non-hiring states are those GOP run states in Center of the country.  This means that the job's numbers Orangie releases will be fudged to make him look good.  He has never, ever relied upon honesty.  If it doesn't make you look good, then change it.
