Orangie's Heart

 We had another cool night.  The temp was 46 (F) when I woke up, but that was later than normal, around 0700.  Usually I'm up before then, however I don't use an alarm and so tend to sleep until the sun comes shining in through my side window.  The overnight temps might have gotten a bit colder, but not by much.  

My sister's in the hospital, high sugar and low kidney function.  While that sounds extremely serious, I have to admit she's also a sloppy diabetic.  Translation, she doesn't take her meds the way she should and loves to eat snacks; almost every time I talk to her on the phone she's just finished baking something.  My brother called to let me know.  He'd been called by my brother in law, who didn't have a lot of details, so I texted my niece and the details came flooding back.  While the situation is concerning, it's not serious.  My sister just needs to take her meds and cut out the junk food.  She'll change her ways for a bit, and then in a year or two start eating the junk again and wind up back in the hospital.

I get to work today.  It will be interesting to see how busy we are since storms are in the process of moving into the area.  I am scheduled to sit at the idiotic Lead Table from 3-4 trying to get leads for the store.  When I checked my stats I already had 2 leads for the week, so someone must have keyed them under my user ID.

My ballot for the November election arrived yesterday.  It will get mailed out on Monday.  While this is not a mid-term election, there has been a lot of pressure applied from both sides.  We get to voted on whether 3 Democratic Supreme Court Justices are retained for another 4 years.  Of course, Republicans are pushing a "term limit" decision hoping to get them voted out.  These three judges have kept Republican authoritarianism at bay any most Pennsylvanians know that.  I guess you know who I'm voting for.

So, did anyone else hear that the Qatari's are going to be building an air base in Idaho?  Hhhm, though so.  That not too subtle news didn't go over well with the Christian Nationalists.  Ouch!  A Muslim air base in the heart of America.  As soon as I heard that, I wondered if the Qatari pilots were going to be bringing their families with them.  However, that wasn't my first thought.  Knowing that Orangie is a transactional kind of guy, I immediately knew why the Qatari government had given him that jet.  You know it's always been about him first, and even though he says otherwise, America's always been 3rd or 4th when it comes to his priorities.

Orangie also had his 2nd annual physical yesterday because he's so special.  I had to stop reading it when I got to the line that he has the heart of a man 14 years younger.  I mean, where does he keep it?  Is it in a 1 gallon Ziplock bag?  Does he show it off at cabinet meetings that aren't televised?  Can't you picture him lifting that baggie up and saying, "look, I have the heart of a man 14 years younger than me!"
