Happy Easter

 It got cold last night!  32 (F)  Freezing.  At least that was the temp when I checked my phone this AM.  Outside, there was not a hint of frost, so what the actual temps were here in Enola is anybody's guess.  Perhaps I should invest in an outside thermometer. 

Yesterday was slow at work.  Today is going to be even slower.  Except for the non-Christian crowd.  There are quite a number of Asians living in the area and very few of them are part of the Peter, Paul, and Matthew crowd.  Some will undoubtedly show up and ask what's on sale.  

Evidently our blue competitor is closed today.  We have some associates who don't understand they're not treating it as a paid holiday, they're just closed.  These same associates fail to realize that store is closed in order to appeal to a specific group of individuals.  Blue management realizes sales are going to be low and they understand that the Peter, Paul, and Matthew crowd will approve and, hopefully, spend their hard earned dollars there, rather then come to our secular orange store.  Of course, that does mean they will disappoint the large non-Christian Asian crowd who has no problem spending money on Christian holidays.

To be honest, I have some good friends who are deeply religious.  They're good friends because they don't push their beliefs on me, by the same token, I don't push my beliefs upon them.  Because of this we are constantly learning tolerance and understanding from each other.  I think this is how it's supposed to be. 

Anyway, here's a picture of an Easter Bunny.  Happy Easter, y'all.

Award Season

Hello Monday!

For those who are wondering, I did go to work yesterday.  The roads were dry and the temps increased to a balmy 74 (F) when I punched out around 7 PM.  Three customers showed up about 10 minutes before I left wanting blinds cut.  I let my associate cut them because mentally I had already punched out for the day.  This is what happens to our minds when we know we have 3 days off in a row.

As I said, when I left the temps were nearly above freezing, however the wind picked up and they plummeted.  Today our high is supposed to hit a chilly 29 (F), and tonight?  We're dropping down into the teens.  

I am going to have to hit my neighborhood Giant supermarket today... or tomorrow.

There was an article in the NYT about Hollywood and Award Season.  November and December are the two months during which the heavy hitting dramas are released, those the studios are hoping will take home awards.  The Operative Word here is drama.  This year, dramas faired horrifically at the box office and Hollywood is in a tizzy because... well, they've always turned their collective noses up at anything that wasn't a drama.  What did people brave the theaters for this year?  Science Fiction, Adventure, Super Heroes.  You would have thought some smarty pants studio exec would have realized that during a pandemic most people don't want to exchange the drama of life for the fictional drama of a movie.  Now there are a boatload of soul wrenching dramas waiting to be nominated that no one has an intention of seeing.  Ouch.  Maybe now they'll put that drama stick out of their but and begin to award films that people enjoy, rather than films that pet their dramatic ego.

And, speaking of little films, here's a little cutie I put together on the spur of the moment.  Enjoy.

I see where people are upset because Jim Jordan's running for a third term. He said, way back when, that he was only going to run for 2 terms in Congress.  Now, because he's decided to run for a 3rd term, people are calling him a liar. Hell, he's always been a liar.  Didn't they know that?
