Trump's Fraud Line

We're supposed to have sunshine for the rest of the week.  That will be nice after all of the rain that we've had here in Central PA.  Daily highs are predicted to be in the mid 60s (F), with overnight lows in the deep 40s (F).  This will be nice.  I do have some yardwork that needs to be done.

Now that it's cooler outside, I'm planning on getting out the chainsaw again.  There are still branches which need to be cut down to size, and chipping to be done.  The cooler days and nights mean I'm not going to have a gnat problem to deal with; now there's a reason for wearing a long sleeved shirt.

Yesterday, much was accomplished:  cleaning, cleaning, cleaning.  Back when I was a child, I can remember when my mom did both fall and spring cleaning, so I guess this is my fall cleaning.  This is on top of my usual cleaning.  Great forests of Howie hair seem to grow overnight, so I am constantly sweeping them up and tossing them into the trash bin.

I'm back to playing Balder's Gate 3.  Kingdom Come, Deliverance was becoming tedious.  I will probably go back to it at some later point, but right now I need a game that's fast moving.

Here's another shot of my roses I snapped yesterday.

I see the Orange Anus set up some sort of fraud and tip line where whistleblowers can make a lot of money by reporting... fraud.  Knowing that he, himself, is a super fraudster, one can only surmise that this has more to do with voter fraud.  You know what I'm talking about, report your neighbor, make some coin.  This might actually work if he were more closer to be being borderline popular with the American voter, but he's not.  Like every other desperate scheme he's been trying, this will backfire terribly, especially since 99% of all the voter fraud discovered has been by Republicans.

And while this seems odd, we've gone.... what?  Two days without another October Surprise doing some serious bodily damage to the GOP.  We do have 2 weeks to go, so there's plenty of time for another shoe or two to drop.

Orangie also got heckled again last evening at one of his micro-rallies.  Does anybody know if there's some sort of TikTok challenge going on?  You know?  Like... who can create the biggest distraction/disturbance while Orangie's on stage talking about some other Republican man's ass?  Those stories have become part of his schtick.  If it gets him attention, he's going to ramble about it.  Or maybe he's decided that he's got the pussy grabber vote in the bag and now needs to focus on the ass grabber vote.

Primary This

Today is supposed to be nice.  Humidity is supposed to be low.  Temps should only climb into the low 80s (F), and forecasters are calling plenty of sunshine.   Tomorrow's supposed to be, probably, not so nice.  For those who are paying attention to such things, we have only a little over a month left of summer.  Then it will be onto autumn.  We here in Central PA know that the first few weeks of autumn can be just as bad as the dog days of late July.

Yesterday was a meh Tuesday.  I did get a nice bicycle ride in along a canal in France.  Very nice scenery.  But other than that nothing really happened.  No yard cleanup was done because we had a lot of rain on Sunday night and all those branches and limbs still waiting to be cut and chipped needed to dry off.  

I did talk to my dentists office about the insurance not covering the upcoming procedure and was told not to worry, I have no more out-of-pocket charges coming up.  I don't understand how this all works, because in America dental and health care are so terribly complicated.  Your dentist will charge you $500 for a procedure and bill that amount to the insurance company knowing they're going to have to adjust that cost down.  They do this because the insurance company needs to see a higher charge in order to compensate.  

I started a replay of Balder's Gate 3, not because I enjoyed beating the game.  Nope, I made bad choices, like having 2 wizards on my first play through which doomed any chance of winning the 2nd last Boss fight.  Now I'm a Paladin and I can melee with the best.  Good Stuff.  I'm sure Sixpence would love this game because, if you play your cards right there some hot M/M sex.

So, several states had primaries yesterday.  Mike Lindell lost badly and is refusing to concede because in his mind losing by 54,000 votes can only mean voter fraud, or as he is saying voter anomalies.  Francesca Hong lost a tight race in Wisconsin and unlike Mike Lindell gracefully conceded.  She will work with Crowley to insure Wisconsin gets a Democratic governor.  This is a good thing.  In Connecticut,  Democrats saw a generational shift with Luke Bronin beating long time incumbent John Larson.  

Did I mention that Mike Lindell lost?  Truthfully, that man needs to be institutionalized.

Finally, one of those left onboard the decoy Air Force One was our Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.  I wonder what he thinks knowing that the asshole he works for sees him as expendable.  Orangie took several close allies along with him into the catering truck.  No word yet if they celebrated his thinking they were important enough by enjoying a smorgasbord.
