Well, we have 54 (F) outside and partial sunshine. Our high today is supposed to make it up to 70 (F). If it does, at least according to the weather forecasters, this will be the warmest temps will get for quite some time. Yes, autumn is in the air. We had a lot of rain yesterday, not buckets, but constant drizzles and showers, enough to pond the parking lot of the orange retailer I work for. Today, those showers are gone.
My first load of laundry for the day is in the washer. Shirts. They drying rack is fine for some articles of clothing, but certain things, like shirts and pants, need to go through the dryer otherwise you will need to iron them. When I was young, everything needed to be ironed. Clothes would go from the clothesline to the ironing board. And since damp clothing irons better than dry clothing, you would need to sprinkle water on whatever it was you were ironing in order to iron out all of the wrinkles. Am I like the only person who sees redundancy in this? Now imagine doing this for a family of four or five. Damn!
And I did work yesterday. And even though the store was slow, the flooring department was hopping, at least until I punched in, then everything came to a standstill. I did cover the paint department while the associate went to dinner, where I had an interesting experience with a tall, young man. As I gave him his paint, he said he like to give me something. Reaching into his back pocket he pulled out a small Jesus card. I glanced at it and handed it back to him, saying, "you can keep it, I don't believe that shit." He got red in the face and muttered, "you better, it's going to happen," just loud enough for me to hear him as he walked away. I have friends who are very religious, my friend Jon, the Physical Therapist, for example, and I respect their belies and they respect mine. I've talked to a number of people about this and it seems that everyone of them has reached the tipping point. Whereas before they would accept the cards, now they hand them back saying, "no thanks." I did the same thing, but with a little less tact.
For those who don't know, this is what Gaza looks like.
As long as Bibi is in charge Israel will continue to bomb.
ReplyDeleteI saw something about drones being used today. If that war ends, his corruption trial will start again.
DeleteThe sad thing is that despite the celebrations yesterday there is no real plan set
ReplyDeleteYou're right. I suspect it was mostly a PR stunt to make Trump happy after not getting the Peace Prize.
DeleteI still say take him out.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather see him rotting in jail.
DeleteBibi was ready to do that when Biden was president and after visiting Cankles at Mar-a-Lardo, the deal was off. Until now.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's all for show. You know all Cheeto wants is to build hotels there after he's bulldozed what's left.
And that man tried to recruit you AT WORK? That's illegal.
XOXO
