We have 72 (F) outside with rain on the way... possibly lots of rain. Inches, maybe. Our temps are only predicted to rise about 1 or 2 degrees. If I'm correct, we're getting the rain that inundated Indianapolis. Let's hope we don't get as much rain as they got. Tomorrow, things will get warmer, but we're still supposed to get more rain. Later on in the week our temps should cool down, with daily highs in the mid 70s (F).
I worked yesterday and it was slow. I had 2 small sales, so I should have reached my sales goal for the week, but I'm not going to hit my measure goal. That's life. The flooring department is seriously underwater when it comes to sales. We are normally slow this time of year, but this year things are worse. Affordability is important. Our carpet installation charge just went up 20 cents per square foot. In today's economy, every penny counts.
My friend Betsy called yesterday to tell me she had some sort of water issues in her apartment and asked if we could move our plans for today to Tuesday. No problem. This is a vacation day for me, so I'm still getting paid, and I never work on Tuesday. So things are hunky dory.
For the first time in decades the United States does not have a carrier group in the Western Pacific. Two of our aircraft carriers are in port, San Diego and Long Beach, undergoing repairs. The USS George Washington is enroute to the Mediterranean to replace the USS Abraham Lincoln. No carrier group is expected to be in the Pacific for the next few weeks. This is just another example of numb nuts planning by the weekend Fox host with 2 meritorious bronze stars running our military.

Numb nuts is too flattering a name for him. Brainless comes to mind…
ReplyDeleteHe could be both, you know? In fact, he probably is.
DeleteGee, who knew a brainless drunken "news" reader could fuck things up so badly.
ReplyDeleteBut in Trump's eyes he looks great on TV.
