The Saudis find Karma

We've got 62 (F) outside and once again, the temps are predicted to hit the low 80s (F).  We did manage to hit that 80(F).  We're going to be repeating yesterday's forecast today.  If those people who predict the weather are correct, our daily highs from now on should be sailing through the upper 70s (F).  That is until we get to Indian Summer.

Yesterday was quite the solemn day.

Berkheimer's came to service my furnace around 0800.  The tech was training a new person.  He said he was supposed to do both the furnace and the central air.  I told him to just do the furnace, I'll have him back in the spring for the central air.  My brain thinks that the furnaced should be serviced prior to the heating season, and the central air prior to the cooling season.  I guess it doesn't really matter.  I shall have to work on being more flexible since have both units serviced at the same time will cost me less money.

The pain of 9/11 seemed stronger on this anniversary, perhaps because so much of what's happening today in the world seems to stem from that moment in our history.  

I did go to my local Giant supermarket for fresh fruit and bones for Howie.  While I was there, I bought him a new toy.  A pink pig.  He loves it.

I understand the Orange Anus gave a... "fiery," speech at the Pentagon yesterday, after he woke up from his nap.  I don't know if it was fiery or not, since I didn't see a single clip on social media other than those of him snoozing away.  By now most people know, except for his cultists, that every time he opens his mouth, the only thing that comes out is yada, yada, yada.  He is not now, nor will he ever, be considered a wise man.  One of the things not included in his yada, yada, yada was that the Saudis asked him to attack Yemen.  To be honest, I don't doubt they expected him to do what they wanted, after all, isn't that why they paid him $5+ billions of dollars?  Unfortunately for the Saudis, America has wasted so many bombs and missiles on Iran we don't have them to spare.  And the Houthis, from Yemen, have taken over a major Saudi pipeline. If the Saudis want the Houthis stopped, they're going to have to use their own army, and Orangie's war will expand.  Expect gas to get more expensive soon.  And what is Orangie planning on doing?  Play golf in Ireland.  So, what we're seeing might possibly be the beginning of Karma for the Saudi Royal Family, since they were the ones who funded 9/11.

Great News

Our temps did not drop below freezing last night.  This is a good thing for this time of year.  The forecast for the next three days, however, is for drizzles.  That's right Spring showers have arrived early.  At least sprinkles are better than the cold that brings with it snow flurries, or snow.  Spring never promised to be warm and sunny.  

And yesterday was a good day... a very good day.  The HVAC from Berkheimer arrived early, around 0740.  He spent about a half hour down examining my furnace, doing testing and taking readings before coming and telling me there is absolutely nothing wrong with my furnace.  There is nothing wrong with my heat exchanger.  He told me that a candle puts more carbon monoxide into the air than my furnace does.  And on top of that, they did not charge me for the service call.  For those of you who live in the area, that's F.M Berkheimer.

So, what did I do with this Great News?  I filed a complaint against Bowman HVAC with Home Depot, and I was told that their contract as a service provider  will end in about a month.  This is not because of all the complaints Home Depot has been getting, rather it's the fact that Bowman has been acquired by a much larger group who only wants to work in larger urban areas.  Servicing rural customers does not earn them enough money.  Fortunately the large, orange home improvement retailer I work for understands the importance of building up brand loyalty among those who are more than 30 minutes away.

Of course, the Debby Downer is the Orange Anus in the White House and his drunken fratboy Secretary of War defense.

According to them, the war in Iran will now last 2 months.  They know this because Hegseth found that number on one of the pages of his Christian Nationalist Bible.  That number is also in one of his White Supremacists tats, and nothing can refute the truth in the ink.  Of course, he's also telling people that Jesus anointed the Orange Anus, and even though Orangie's not the least bit religious, he loves believing he's been anoionted.

In other Great News, primary season has begun.  Democrats are soaring while Republican candidate after Republican candidate is in run-off elections because the GOP is splintering.  Talarico won in Texas, Cooper in North Carolina, while Crenshaw, an Orangie boot licker, is out.  MAGA cultists couldn't decide which hate monger to vote for, so Cronin and Paxton will be in a run-off election, so will Congressman Gonzales, he's the one who had an affair that ended in a staffer's suicide by immolation.
