The Conservative "Woe is Me," Act

 Well, didn't yesterday surprise us here in Central PA.  The temps climbed up into the80s (F), in fact the house got so warm the Central Air kicked on.  When it's 76 (F) downstairs, it's much warmer upstairs, so I even used the bedroom ceiling fan last night.  This afternoon, however, temps are once again predicted to climb into the 80s (F) and thunderstorms are expected to move into the area.  No steady soaking rains, just storms that will sweep through the area.

I had some bloodwork yesterday to check my sugar.  My PCP got back to me in late afternoon, everything's okey dokey.  It seems that after a certain age, diabetes runs in my family.  My sister's full blown.  Me?  I've been borderline all of my life.

And that sneezy sinusy head cold thing that gave me a sore throat yesterday morning?  It's all gone today.  I had some slight concern that the congestion might move south into lungs, but that didn't happen.  That sound you might be able to hear is me knocking on wood since I haven't had a chest cold in... maybe decades.

So, after lazing around and wasting time for a few days, I seem to be back on track.  Things are planned for today, like a quick drive over to Dick's to get some whey.  I had planned on stopping in yesterday morning because my bloodwork was done over in Rossmoyne, however the blood draw was finished in a snap and I didn't want to putz around in Dick's parking lot for a half an hour until the store opened.

And here's a pic of Harrisburg taken Tuesday morning at sunrise.  I didn't take it, someone else did and posted in on Facebook.  Nice? huh?  It almost looks European.

And, as usual, yesterday was another shit show with the Orange Anus.  The Epstein survivors had a presser and Orangie arranged for jets to flyover 3 times in an attempt to disrupt the proceedings.  This is because Orangie is all over the files.  Isn't it interesting that he had no problem with being a pedophile until he got his slimy ass elected and now he so desperately wants to keep those sins swept under the rug.

Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky, attempted to get legislation passed that would for the administration to release the Epstein files.  It failed because Republicans realized that the contents of those files would prove to the world how terrible a pedophile Orangie was, and the ensuing anger by the American people would kill the party.  They will accept any evil as long as it keeps them in power.  And don't believe it when you see politicians like Nancy Mace and Anna Paulina Luna wringing their hands in a phony "woe is me" act, they will always vote party line because for them, like every Republican, it's all about power.

Finally, Florida is going to eliminate mandatory vaccinations for schools.  This is turning the clocks back 150 years.  Not only will childhood disease come roaring back, they will turn Disney World and Universal Studios into plague zones.

View from the Theater

 Good Morning World!  The temperature is 44 (F) here in Central PA, and the forecast is for partly cloudy skies.  We also have wind, briskly blowing breezes is a nice way of describing the wind as the branches on the river birch outside my window dance about.  Yesterday the were whipping wildly as the cold front went through.  We also had a smattering of rain.

Tuesdays, being the first day off after working three, tend to be sort of meh.  Yesterday was not.  Much was accomplished.  My local taxes were the first chore scratched off my list.  Then there was a trip to the bank for a Cashier's Check to pay for my real estate taxes, followed by a trip to Dick's Sporting Goods for white socks.  I hadn't been to Dick's for a while, so it took me a few moments to their generic DSG socks" $17.99 for 6 pair as opposed to $28.99 for 6 pair of Nike.  They also sell Optimum Gold whey there for the same price as GNC.  Believe me when I tell you I would rather wonder around in Dick's than GNC.

The big aquarium was also cleaned.  I got a nice ride in on the bicycle.  All in all, yesterday was a good day.

I also spent as little time as possible looking at the news.

Howie got sick in the middle of the night.  I always try to see what he ate that made him sick, and, no surprise here, I saw about a pound of string from one of his toys, plus chewed up pieces from several others.  This morning I'll be heading over to PetSmart to get him a new toy, as well as his Frontline Flea and Tick med for this summer.

And, since The Body in History is heading into the final stretch before publication, I thought I'd share a pic I took in Delphi.  I took this from the front of the theater looking down on the temple of Apollo.  A fall from here might be fatal... especially if it happened at night.

As I said, I tried to avoid paying attention to the latest shit show revolving around the Orange Anus.  It never ends.  In case you haven't realized it, this is what he lives for, not only the chaos, but the never ending attention.  His ego has a voracious appetite that is never satisfied.  He is an addict and the Main Stream Media is his junkie.  One of the ways you can hurt him is to not click on any link regarding his shit show that comes from the Main Stream Media.  If those clicks and hits dry up, his junkie will have nothing to sell.

One thing I did find amusing was that Anonymous, the hacking group, hacked into 4Chan, a far right racist website and started posting online.  Evidently their main page was shuttered, and the doxing info of all those hatemongers subscribing to it is now available for the world to see.  Someone said that "with 4Chan down, where are Republicans going to go for hate memes?"

Oh, and Marjorie Taylor Greene had a townhall.  Alone, that would have made the news, but what the media is pumping out is the fact that she had the police evict several people, and had them taser a senior citizen as they were taking him out.  That video is truly revolting.  I don't believe her pea brain has any idea how badly that makes not only her, but Republicans, look.
