Cake

 Well, here it is Thursday.  Outside the temps are in the upper 60s (F).  It's nice.  They're supposed to climb up into the lower 90s (F) today.  That will be nice, too.  I do have lawn work to do.  Most importantly, however, is the fact that there is no rain in the forecast, not until tomorrow and Saturday, at least.  I work Saturday, so the weather is not going to bother me in the least.

Plans for today include not only some yardwork, but a trip to Staples.  I simply cannot connect to that HP laser printer.  I tried a factory reset and it remains offline.  As a last resort I'm going to do a hardwire connection and to do that I need a USB 2.0 A/B cable.  No cable was included because it was deemed unnecessary; everything is wireless these days.  This will entail rearranging things around my desk.  So be it.

Yesterday was one of those, sort of do nothing days because I had lunch with friends.  I've known Tami for over 45 years.  We used to hit the bars together a long time ago.  We don't reminisce a lot, rather we talk a lot about things that are happening now.  Her partner Ann just finished reading a book about Johnson & Johnson, and all the terrible things they've done for greed.  And, as might be expected, we discussed the Orange Anus because it's good to share detestable thoughts about that losing sack of shit.  And, since my blood sugar is a bit high, I celebrated by having a slice of Chocolate Lava Cake for desert.  It was tasty, but I don't doubt it was premade, frozen, and then nuked for my gastronomic pleasure.

I understand they're hiring people to fill the stands at Orangie's parade on Saturday.  Pay's pretty good, $1000, but it's in Crypto, which means it's pretty worthless, just like our phony president.

And, if you happen to have plans for heading into DC for the weekend, don't go.  Many, many roads have been shut down to make way for the parade.

I see that David Hogg is not going to be running to be part of the DNC after they decided that his and Malcom Kenata's elections were invalid.  David and Malcom's real problem?  They're young.  They rock the boat.  Aging Democrats want someone more mature, like 73 year old Chuck Schumer, who said he's waiting for Republicans to come to their senses.  He is out of touch with the real world.  

Advocacy groups are reporting that dozens of activated National Guardsmen are very unhappy with being sent to Los Angeles.  The only people who are happy about this are Republicans, of course they have been spoon fed hatred since birth:  Democrats are evil, communist monsters who will destroy America.  There is no way of getting them to see reason.  They are a minority group that will need to be punished extensively for years to come.

Well, here it is Sunday morning.  I stopped taking the Mucinex at 0230 not because of any issues, rather my Dr said the torrential nasal drip symptom should be gone in about 4 days.  For the most part it is and now I'm left with that standard, run of the mill cold so many others get.  This viral infection thing?  I know 3 other people who have had it including my runner friend Steve who told me "it really knocked me out, I couldn't run for 7 days."  That's almost an eternity for him.
I saw a headline on my phone this AM from Faux News claiming Schumer was demanding the Idiot Jerk drop his wall.  Chuck did... back on 12/10.  That was before the American Freedom Caucus, soon to be a minority group, played hardball with the Idiot Jerk.  "Give your base the wall," they threatened, "or we will stop defending you against the Mueller Investigation."  Well, the Idiot Jerk popped a little turd, and then reneged on his word (something quite common), and the government was shut down.  We're getting to see their last gasping breath of racism before Democrats tell the members of the Freedom Caucus to do what they have been telling Democrats and Independents for years "shut up and sit down."  They know that in 10 days their wanna be Idiot Jerk dictator is going to pop another turd... actually, he's probably going to pop more than one.
On a much brighter note, if you haven't heard David Hogg is going to college!  Remember when Laura Ingraham mocked him on National TV because he'd gotten a few college rejections?  So David raised up his voice a speaking clearly and plainly to Laura's advertisers.  "I am a survivor of a mass shooting.  I have seen the violence of guns in the wrong hands and have waved a red flag.  Because of this she feels justified in mocking me, in trying to humiliate me on National TV."  Her advertisers looked down with disdain upon Laura and started pulling their advertising.  Faux News started popping little turds and sent Laura on a wee vacation.  When she returned, she apologized for her words, but not to David Hogg because she is too enraptured in her Conservative beliefs to ever understand.  Of course, Karma looked down and said "Laura, you're a phony blond, and a phony human being."  And then Karma looked down on David and smiled.  Karma balances everything by punishing and rewarding. 

David Hogg is going to college.

David Hogg is going to Harvard.
