Trump Lies, Again

Well, we've got 72 (F) and it's going to get warmer.  We have another super sunny day on tap here in Central PA, however, I do have to go to work this afternoon.  I'm scheduled to work for the next 2 days and the weather forecasters, perhaps because I am working, are calling for showers tomorrow and Monday.  Tuesday things are supposed to be fine again.

Today we are halfway through summer.  I think July went by very fast.  Since energy costs are constantly rising, I've been monitoring my usage.  Even though Pennsylvania Power and Light Co. says we have been 1 degree cooler this summer than last summer, I've used more electricity this summer.  However, you can't use a single degree for estimating usage.  We've had perhaps 7 days in July where the daytime highs were 100 (F) or higher and on those days the Central Air never turned off.  That's why I've used more electricity than last year.  The same thing is true with heating.  It cost a lot more to heat my house during those 2.5 weeks in January when the temps never got above 18 F) than for the rest of the winter.

Of course, the big headline yesterday was about the reflecting pool.

This means that not only did that wino Jeanine Pirro lie, so did our Secretary of the Interior, Doug Burgum, as well as the Orange Anus.  My take on this?  The Orange Anus lied first, and the other 2 bumble brains, knowing they couldn't contradict him, went a long with him.  There was no 300 foot gash cut in the lining with a razor knife, of course, most of us knew this.  Orangie's ego simply could not deal with the fact that he had made another terrible decision.  For him, paying $14 million to a man who donated heavily to his campaign made perfect sense, the thought that this man might be incompetent never came into the picture.  Instead of trying to get that $14 million back, Orangie's just going to pay more money to someone else to fix his mistake.

And for a bit of good news, Whiteney Lynn, the wack-job Christian who calls herself a Sky Evangelist was kicked off a flight in Florida and is now being put on no-fly lists.  This is because Whitney is witless.  She likes preaching her version of the gospels at 30,000 feet, to passengers who cannot walk away.  If Whitney is anything, she's one of the reasons for the Great De-Churching.  

Lessons

 Monday.  The heat dome is gone... supposedly.  Daily highs are predicted to hover in the mid to upper 80s (F).  I can deal with that.  During last weeks high temps, the window unit in the bedroom seemed to struggle at times.  It is over 4 years old, and honestly, I have no idea how long a window unit is supposed to last.  I also realized I should have a thermostat on the 2nd floor to regulate the Central Air.  my downstairs was comfortable, while the 2nd floor would have gotten stinky winky without the window units.

I worked yesterday.  8 hours.  It was boring.  It was the 4th day without our sales figures being updated, so no one knew how well, or how poorly they were doing.  The store figures updated, but our sales figures didn't.

Because the necessary people weren't working yesterday, I didn't get to tell them that I went with Aspen Home Improvement for my windows.  In some odd way, I'm really looking forward to giving them that news.  It's nice to strike out against corporate greed in the names of all those  Mom & Pop hardware stores that were shuttered into non-existence.

I've hit 2 glitches in my replay of Fallout 4, and so, at least temporarily, I've changed to games to Lords of the Fallen, another RPG.  As a result, I spent an hour last evening learning new controller mechanics.  This is a good thing.  Learning creates new neural pathways.  Never stop learning.  

And I suppose everybody knows Justin Timberlake was arrested for DUI.  The young officer who pulled him over had no idea who he was, so Justin is learning a difficult lesson.  Because Justin refused a breathalyzer test, we'll never have any idea just how drunk he was, that, in itself is a pretty good clue as to how intoxicated he was.  Anyway, I don't know his name, but this is the young officer who became a teacher to Timberlake.

And, supposedly, Kristi Noem hasn't received vetting paperwork for the VP position.  Can you hear me laughing?  This bimbo, who went full Trumper in her attempt to get selected, never had a chance, and it wasn't because she shot her dog.  Look at her.  She never realized that the dyed, long hair that supposed to make her look like she's 21, was all wrong.  She should have gone for the porn star look.

Who will be Trump's VP pick?  Well, he no longer has to appeal to the Evangelicals since so many of them have already sold him their souls.  Rubio might help him rack in the Hispanic vote.  Vance might help him rack in the white, hillbilly trash vote.  And Burgum?  He's quite and unassuming.  Supposedly it's between one of these three, so what you really need to do is ask yourself which one is most like Pence?  Which one will disappear into the woodwork?  has anybody learned their lessons?
