Anterior Shooter

 Good morning world!  My local temp was 38 (F) this morning; being above freezing is better than below.  As I'd said a few days back, temps are going to be rather steady for the next few days... weeks, possible.  We are in what might be called an Autumnal Holding Pattern.  Cool, but not cold nights with daily temps climbing up into the mid to upper 50s (F).  I can live with this.

I worked yesterday.  To my surprise, another one of my measures sold making me the number one Sales Specialist in the department.  Not bad for a part-timer.  One of our full time specialists is going out for minor surgery in a few weeks, after that he'll come back for a few weeks and then retire.  He and I talked about it for a bit.  When he comes to work, he works, not that I don't do that too, but I'm more sociable. I have chitty chats with customers, as well as employees.  He focuses on the minutiae of an install and ends up creating problems.  Where I can sell an install in 5 minutes, it often takes him 45 minutes.  He said he's thinking about volunteering possibly with the community theater as an usher, and I thought, hhhmm, that's nice.  It didn't sound as if he had any real type of plan.  When you retire, you end up with a lot of free time and unless you have specific goals set out, you will end up sitting around waiting to die.

Today's going to be one where a lot gets done.  I know this because my second load of laundry has just finished up in the washer and is waiting to be hung out to dry.  And there is a lot to be done.

I do have a Facebook account, mostly to keep in touch with my Navy buddies and some friend; I don't have the patience to sit and scroll my way to Hell.  This morning they showed me a memory from 10 years ago: a pic I took of my spinal CAT scan.  If you click on it and blow it up you can see that L4 and L5 had already fused.  L3 and L4 had already shot out the disk jelly and were in the processing of fusing.  And the disk between L2 and L3 was in the process of getting rid of its disk jelly.  Whereas most people with disk problems shoot their disk jelly out the back.  Not me.  I'm an anterior shooter, meaning I shoot from the front.

Of course there are many videos of Dementia Don in Japan doing what he does best: dementiating.  If you're on social media, you got to seem him wandering away from the Japanese Prime Minister.   You got to see him pausing and staring straight ahead until she gave his lower arm a little pull to get him moving again.  And, of course he gave one of his dementiated speeches to a group of soldiers stationed in Japan.  Stephen Miller is running the government.  I'm thinking the GOP is in deep shit.  Almost every Congressman and Senator gave him their unwavering support because they believed he was going to our first king.  I'm also thinking many of them are now beginning to understand that they screwed the pooch because it's too late for them to have a change of mind.  And all the while prices continue to rise and jobs disappear.  Now is when they should be anterior shooters, and they're finding out they can't even shoot from the rear.
