Omnipotence

 Well, Biggie just had his last carprofen tablet.  He's been only getting one a day for the past 3 days.  This is what happens when his meds don't ship on time.  To be honest, I don't know how much they help.  The gabapentin seems to be doing a much better.  He has less problems going down the back steps.  Before he rarely stood, always sat down, he also has much less difficulty in stand up.  Gabapentin takes 1 - 2 weeks to hit full efficacy.  One of our cashiers takes it for neuropathy and she says it works wonders, it just takes so long before it takes effect.

Today is also the first day of Spring! So man plants are poking their first leaves up through the ground.  I hope this year will be really colorful!  Right now the temps are in the mid 40's (F).  They're predicted to climb into the mid 50's with some clouds.  And, as far as long range forecasts go... well, we all know how inaccurate they are; forecasters can barely get the days right let alone 2 weeks in advance.

So, I've been thinking about the Cracker Jack Crazies and their desperate belief that God sent Trump to give them a Conservative Supreme Court.  I use the word desperate because... well, one of these mornings at 0300, get your butt out of bed and go outside and look up.  If you are not too close to a metropolitan area, you will see the Universe.  You will see stars light years away, as well as galaxies so very, very far away.  The Cracker Jack Crazies will tell you God created the universe: all those stars, all those galaxies, so far away we don't even know where it actually ends.  Seeing this immensity, all of this power, I wonder why is it He can only give them an American president by flipping the Electoral College.  That seems like... well, the tip of a little finger move for something they say is omnipotent.  Maybe He has to use the Electoral College because their numbers are not as great as they think.  And this last election?  2020? The one they said was chosen to give them what they want lost, and attempted a coup, and then started The Big Lie because he believed the Supreme Court he packed was going to throw the election.  Hell, this does not say much for omnipotence does it?  That their deity would need to resort to such deceit?  Perhaps if they weren't so stinking desperate.

WINTER STORM WARNING!

Yeah, I slept in this morning.  I had a couple glasses of wine last night to celebrate the Electoral College vote cementing Joe Biden as our next president.

Billy Barr resigned, and while I didn't read it, I understand his resignation letter was 'fawning.'  He does love his tinfoil dictator, so I suspect his refusal to spread the Idiot Jerk's lies about voter fraud had more to do with trying to keep his own ass clean for the history books.

I saw this morning where Moscow Mitch finally acknowledged Biden's win.  While most don't understand, he was the one behind the horrendous spate of conservative judges rather then the Idiot Jerk in the White House.  Mitch thought he was working on his own conservative legacy.  Dumb shit.  Stupid conservatives don't realize Covid is going to be their legacy.  He's going to be remembered as the man who allowed hundreds of thousands of human beings die while only focusing on judges, and they will have to live knowing their conservative beliefs were deemed more important than human life.

Last evening Uncle Joe called the Idiot Jerk in the White House  a lying sack of shit using words that were far too nice.  I understand that the votes by the Electoral College, without one renegade voter, pretty much screwed over the Conservative Media, proving them to be total failures.  Good.

And for those of you who don't know, I am sitting in the bullseye of a winter storm warning.  Yepper, the predicted estimates are between 14 and 22 inches of snow.  I'm am scheduled off tomorrow, when the storm is supposed to start and will take off Thursday if the predictions come true.

Oh, and in case you're wondering, we still have snow shovels available, no blowers though, we sold the last of them yesterday.  

Aquarium hint of the day

Blogger's back.  It was down, so this entry was delayed, and will be shortened because work calls.

Snow is predicted for today; the only thing falling from the skies here is rain with an occasionally large flake that melts before it hits the ground.

Because direct sunlight hits my tank for several hours a day during the fall and winter, I have algae.  Since my tank is acrylic, I need to be cautious as to just what I use to clean the sides.  The solution, it turns out was right at hand, a plastic putty knife purchased 98 cents at  Home Depot.  The plastic is softer than the acrylic, but has a strong enough edge to scrape off the algae.  That's my aquarium hint for the day.

Of course, the Electoral College meets to day to confirm the election of Joe Biden.  Not surprisingly, there are members of the GOP, those who no doubt used a blood oath to sell their souls to the Idiot Jerk in the White, are still lying about the truth.  What is interesting is the fact that many of them seem to be in some sort of legal bind, especially the AG from Texas, Ken Paxton.  You can bet his ultimate goal is not to overthrow the election, rather he is more interested in getting a pre-emptive pardon from the Idiot Jerk.  Crooks and Cronies, as is historically the case with tinfoil dictators, are the ones who tend to benefit.

And now, I've got to get ready for work.  Fun stuff!

 

Whine and Cheese

 The weather yesterday started off... well... okay, but then the sun came out.  However, for those who didn't know, it was Friday... the 13th.  The nuts were out shopping.  Well, let me correct myself, the nuts were out.  They were calling the Flooring Desk.  One of them had set up a measure over the phone.  This person has never been in the store.  Never looked at flooring.  This person wants hardwood.  He only wants it on his staircases (slip, trip, and fall hazard).  He wants Brazilian Cherry.  Sorry, it's unavailable, probably because there's a dictator in Brazil who's burning down the rain forests.  The only thing that resembles Brazilian Cherry is a Pergo laminate... in no way being close to hardwood.  And I, had the joy of explaining this to him... over the phone because he has never been in the store. Oh, and his staircases are going to cost him over $4000.  Boo!

Management gave me a cute little red bag with a blue ribbon on it - my Veterans Goody Bag.  Lots of little snacky things and a card signed 'Mgmt.'  The gesture was nice, but I had to chuckle at the 'Mgmt.'

Also, beginning Monday, we need to do our Health Check on either a computer or smart phone before we get to the store, otherwise the timeclock will not let us punch in.   I'm certain there are a number of associates who feel this is an attack on their constitutional rights to do what ever they want.  Many still do not believe the seriousness of the situation simply because of our Failed President.

I find it interesting that Biden's total Electoral College votes are a mirror image of what the Idiot Jerk received 4 years ago.  This is a sign, you know.  We are escaping from the ugly, fascist wonderland of the Idiot Jerk, back through the mirror before it breaks.  

Evidently the White Supremacists are going to protest the Idiot Jerk's loss today.  I'm betting they bring their guns.   In case you didn't know it, they are the cheese to his whine.  What whine you ask?  This whine.

Hey, Get over it

Well, we're one month into Fall (give or take a day) and the temps are gradually cooling off.  Outside the temp is around 38 (F).  We're under a frost warning.  So often they warn and nothing happens.  Tomorrow we're aim for a high of 58 (F), but then they're forecasting rain as well.  Monday's supposed to be sunny and dry.  That's nice.
Yesterday when I got home from work I saw I still have rosebuds.  Here's one:

It'll be gone soon.  Autumn temps are not kind to flowers.
When I went in to the kitchen a few moments ago to refresh my coffee, Biggie was standing there with his head on the table staring at the leashes.  He loves his morning walks.  Both dogs do.  While Lilly is go, go, go, Biggie just plods along beside me.  He looks up at me a lot, as if to say "this is almost like a slice of heaven."  Since the temp is cooler, I will put on my work boots (yes, I actually have two pair), a jacket, and my little knit cap so the dogs and I can venture out into the chill.
I saw where the dumb ass Republicans are selling T-shirts at the Idiot Jerk's rallies with the phrase "Get Over It" emblazoned upon the chest.  They are so damn stupid.  They're a minority group who managed, with the help of the Electoral College, to get a morale degenerate into the White House.  The fact that they're a minority group doesn't even register in the pea brains.  This is just a variation of their normal hiss, "we're in charge, so shut up."  This is also how they say "screw you," and "I count, you don't."  They are such dumb shits.  The only way to teach them a lesson is to vote them out of office.  That is the only way to control their hatred.  Vote Blue.
Oh, and just as important as voting Blue, is how you vote.  Don't just vote Straight Ticket.  I don't know about your state, but in Pennsylvania candidates can cross register into both parties.  We have several candidates up for Judge.  In their dank, little hearts their Republican, but they're also on the ballot as Democrats.  That's right, they cross registered.  Here, in Central PA, there are no Democrats running for judge.  A Straight Party vote will give one of those Republicans a vote they shouldn't get.  Here, the Democratic party is recommending Democrats vote for Susan Pickford.  She's the only non-Republican on the ballot.  Read that ballot.  See who you're voting for.  When we vote them out of government we can tell them to wear their shitty little shirts and say "Hey, get over it.
