Zippo. Zilch. Zero.

Today's going to be a rain day.  All Day.  That means steady showers through the day.  There will be breaks, of course, allowing Howie just enough time to run outside and jump around in mud puddles.  Temps today are going to climb into the upper 40s (F).  That'll be nice.  Next week we'll be in the mid 70s (F).  Isn't that nice?  And Spring is still 2 weeks away.  Of course, temps will drop down.  There will those inevitable freeze warnings for those who start planting their gardens too early.

Yesterday was a good day.  I got a really good workout in.  I did squats, and thrusts, and used the machine.  Using the equipment is important because it proves to me that I didn't simply throw money away.  There are a lot of treadmills, and ellipticals out there being used as clothes racks.  It always makes me feel good to know that I'm not one of those who waste money on something they use for 2 weeks and then forget about.

I have some lunches planned for the next few weeks, which means I really should get a haircut.  My view on haircuts:  get into the salon, get the hair cut, and get out as fast as possible.  I'm not one of those people who needs to chit chat away 5 minutes of my life with a hair stylist.  If I didn't feel the need to look somewhat presentable I'd probably never get one, or shave my head.

I did start a loaf of bread this morning.  It's time to finish backing just before I leave to get my haircut.

And I follow some German man on Threads who posts pictures of sunsets looking out over the Baltic Sea.  His name is Bjorn, which seems like an odd name for a German.  Here's a sunset he posted yesterday.

There was an interesting article this morning on the NBC news website about Democrats flipping elections.  For those who aren't counting, so far the Democrats have flipped 27 seats while the Republicans have flipped zippo.  Zilch.  Zero.  One of the laments coming from the GOP is that without the Orange Anus on the ballot, they're afraid that turnout is going to be light.  They simply do not understand that his base, the MAGA cultists are in no way a majority in this country.  Hell, they only makeup 17% to 19% of the population.  This is not the total number of registered Republicans, that's around 27%, just the crazy people whose fanaticism has taken away their sanity.

The Republican Texas primaries are falling apart.  Orangie has yet to endorse either Paxton or Cronyn, though he has said that after he curses one with his endorsement, the other candidate needs to drop out.  Paxton has said that he's not dropping out no matter what.  This puts Orangie into a bit of bind.  If he endorses Paxton, people will say this is just another TACO.  And if he endorses Cronyn, it means that his endorsement means zippo.  Zilch.  Zero.
