It's in the Notes

 Weatherwise, today is going to be pretty much a transitional day into a mini cooling off period.  There will be clouds, but not much temperature variation.  When I got up at 0530 the temp was 46 (F) and, if the forecasters are correct, we'll gain just a few more degrees, climbing into the low to mid 50s (F).  However, a few days from now we should be back up into the 60s (F).

And yesterday was a fairly good day.  Not so much because chores were done, but because I put air in my tires.  Since the compressor at my neighborhood Giant's gas station was working, I went across the street to the Weis Market's gas station.  Wonder of wonders, they don't charge for air.  At Giant you need to pay $1.50.  At Weis, it's free. And so I filled all 4 tires in about 5 minutes... for free.  In case you haven't figured it out yet, Free is mostly always good.  Can you guess where I'll be going from now on when I need air in my tires?

Some writing was done.  That's always a good thing.  My mind is starting to wander towards the next book already.  This can be both a good and a bad thing.  At this point in the process things can slow down because I'm starting to clear up the red herrings, at the same time pre-planning means I'm creatively thing about a totally different plot line.

One of the things I did get done yesterday was some preliminary artwork for The Body in 4:4 Time.  This may change, and just what Cori will do with it is... well, up to her.  The covers are always painted, so there are always changes.  Anyway, here's a look at the beginning.  As with all of my covers, there is a clue hidden here, so you may want to embiggen.  The pic on Instagram has music.

And repercussions are still detonating through the GOP.  And the reasons Republicans are coming up with why they lost so badly are.. well, as demented as the Orange Anus.  My favorite so far was the Congresswoman who tried to push the deceit that Republican voters stayed home from the polls because they were happy.  The absurdity in this comment is... well as unfathomable as her intention in making it.  In fact, it makes me wonder if Orangie my be that catalyst for change America needs.  If not, his corruptness is shaking things up more than they've ever been shaken up before.  Till this entire thing is done, there will be no Republican Party.

And his attorney argued for his power to set tariffs yesterday at the Supreme Court.  The only one truly vocal about his keeping this power was Alito.  The other judges had questions and made statements that sounded a lot like they didn't want Orangie to be able to override the Senate.  Not Alito.  You see, Alito wants a king who will give Conservatives what they want.  He is blind to the fact that Orangie will only ever give himself what he wants.  Alito is an old man, with an old man's brain.
