Oh, Canada!

 We're chilly this morning.  According to Accuweather, our outside temp was 39 (F) when I rolled out of bed.  We might hit 55 (F) today.  That's fine.  I don't mind Autumn.  In fact, I enjoy all of our 4 seasons.  Let's be honest, who doesn't mind snuggling under warm blankets in the dead of winter, maybe it's because so many of us enjoy that wombish feeling.  And summer, it's just as nice to strip off those blankets because in our hearts we all really enjoy... stripping?

My back is a little stiff this morning, so I must have turned the wrong way in my sleep.  Being someone who's had to deal with some serious back issues, I am well versed in what needs to be done.  Besides my morning meds of Lisinopril, Atorvastatin, and Omeprazole ('ve a tiny hiatal hernia), I took two Naproxen.  Most backaches are caused by inflammation.  For me, 2 things work:  Naproxen and walking.  I'm driving down to the Lebanon VA to get my annual flu shot and Covid vaccine.  That place is big, so I'll be getting a lot walking in.  This afternoon, I'll be getting another bike ride in, maybe I'll be somewhere in Spain.

I did work yesterday.  It was so slow.  Our Halloween decorations are almost sold out.  Here's a hint for those of you who like outdoor Halloween decorations:  wait until the reduced tags make an appearance.  Right now our decorations are all 50% off.  Oh, and in case you're wondering, we're still making a profit on those markdowns.

And the Orange Anus is lava angry with Canada because they ran an anti-tariff ad quoting the Republican Demi God Ronald Reagan.

Holy Crap!  Thank you Ontario for setting fire to his Depends.  For those who haven't heard Reagan's message calling for Free Trade, he talks about how tariffs lead to retaliation, and how retaliation leads to terrible economic woes.  So, what does the Orange pedophile in what's left of the White House do?  He retaliates.  You can bet Ontario expected this.  You see the world is so over Orangie.  By now, most countries know how to play him, and play him they do.  They are moving past the United States and finding other more reliable trading partners.  In a world economy, isolationism is not a good thing.  Because of corporate greed, most manufacturing jobs have moved over seas.  Those jobs are not going to come back unless a majority of Americans decided to take a very large pay cut.  Believe me, the American people will stomp the shit out of the conservative movement before that happens.
