Trump's Russian Asset

 Well, we had rain last night.  Thunderstorms.  Rain is predicted on and off for most of the morning.  Humidity is supposed to be high.  Those individuals who predict the weather are forecasting thunderstorms for late tomorrow afternoon.  Just what I'm looking for, some air turbulence on my flight down to Philly.

My last window is getting installed as I type.  The woman at Aspen told me they'd try and have it installed before I left, however, there was no communication until around 0715 when my doorbell rang.  Surprise!  Their communication skills have definitely been lacking professionalism.  Because no one sent him pictures, he, or one of the other installers, will need to come back after I get back from Greece to finish the exterior portion because they're going to need to set up ladders.  Their lack of organizational skills is disappointing.

Yesterday, I did very little other than to run to my local Giant supermarket to pick up some sunscreen.  I've let most of my perishables run out since I don't want to return home to find my refrigerator's become a storage unit for various mold cultures.  

Update on the windows:  A 2nd installer has arrived on the scene.  I guess they don't want to make a 2nd trip.  It's at their expense, isn't it?  Perhaps they're concerned that I might complain about their piss-poor planning.

My flight to Greece should take a little over 9 hours, and flying east means I'll arrive on Sunday, September 1st.  Using the app Explore.com sent me, it looks like it'll be sunny and warm.

Of course, the long awaited Harris / Walz interview was on CNN last night.  The Orange Anus claimed it was boring, mostly, I don't doubt, because there was nothing in it that he could exploit.  From what I'm seeing, most the questions asked by Dana Bash seemed geared to get reactions from the candidates regarding Orangie, like the one about Trump saying Harris just turned black.  Pundits were looking for a gotcha moment, and Harris had one.  She basically looked at Bash and said "Gotcha!"

There were bait questions that didn't get a bite.  Ouch.  

In an attempt to provide counter-programming, Orangie had some sort of weird townhall to introduce Tulsi Gabbard to his campaign.  She once claimed to be a Democrat, but when the Democrats refused to play by Putin's rules, she left the party.  The fact that another Russian asset has joined the Trump campaign is not being lost on anyone.

Packing

 Well, it's Monday.  Outside it's 68 (F).  That's not the best sleeping temp, but it's not bad.  It will be deteriorating (getting warmer) during the week as a mini-heatwave rushes past us.  Then, we fall back into more seasonal temps.

In comparison, the temp right now in Athens is 91 (F), and in Delphi 77 (F).  Delphi, contrary to what many may believe is halfway up Mount Parnassus.  It gets cold there in the winter.  In fact, there's a ski resort a few miles away.  Isn't that fascinating.  All of my life I thought Greece, being in the Mediterranean, was more tropical than anything else.  And they still wore togas when it was cold, though they were thick.  This is because the wearing pants was considered effeminate.  My, how things change.

I should have provided more information about my neighbor before yesterday's post, she is not your average stay-at-home mom and mother.  They are from Lancaster, about 45 minutes away, and because that's where her mom lives, she doesn't talk to anyone in the neighborhood.  If she's outside and I go out to do lawn work, she goes back into their house.  She and I doo talk occasionally, and she told me once that she thinks everyone is staring at her, (no one cares).  Instead of taking the garbage out and putting it in the trash bin, she throws the garbage bags out the back door and lets her husband put them in their garbage cans.  The wall separating our houses is poorly soundproofed, so I can tell you she needs the power naps because she stays up late watching TV.  Tammy, my neighbor across the street, has told me on more than one occasion that she's just "freakin' weird," though she didn't use the word freak.

Anyway, people keep asking me if I've started packing.  The answer's yes.

And... drum roll please....  The Orange Anus ranted this morning about ABC news dropping the first substantial hint that he's not going to debate Harris.  A gutless sack of shit, he is.  For anyone out there who didn't expect this, well, he has some golden sneakers he wants to sell you, or perhaps you might be interested in a couple of courses at Trump University... oh, wait, that's now defunct. In fact, he got sued because Trump University was a fraud, just another scam for him.

There's also an interesting bit in Axios this morning regarding those wealthy individuals who've handed over large sums of cash to the moral degenerate hoping to get on his good side.  The stupidity of these people simply amazes me, Trump has no good side.  And these people who so easily parted with their cash are now wondering just where all of those millions went? Just because you have money, doesn't mean you can't be dumb as a brick.
