Think About It

 Saturday.

I just fed the fish dried blood worms.  They love 'em.   Almost as much as brine shrimp.  The dried flakes?  They eat them, but they don't relish them the way they do the worms.  Does anyone know if fish have a sense of taste?

Today is my 4th day at work.  Things are slowing down.  We're still getting measures, but not like we were when they eased the lockdown.  As time goes on, people are beginning to realize this virus is not like the flu.  We are not going to have a vaccine by November.  An economic recovery is not going to happen next week.  Yet there were dumbshits celebrating only 1.8 million people filed for unemployment last week.  There is no coordinated effort by any branch of this administration to deal with this.  Instead they come up with quick fix bandages.  I'm a flooring specialist.  If you have a sub-floor that squishy and in need of repair, putting down new carpet doesn't fix the problem.  Conservatives have always been about the appearance, rather than the substance.  This is why they get voted out of office.  That's why we're going to clean house this November.

I see where Falwell Jr is now on an indefinite leave of absence.  I was surprised to learn he has a brother who (supposedly) takes care of the spiritual side of the business and that Jerry Jr is the money guy.  Could have fooled me.  I do believe he was one of those Cracker Jack Christians laying hands on the Idiot Jerk while they were praying in the Oval Office.  Of course, we don't know to what god he was praying, do we?

And the Idiot Jerk wants to eliminate payroll taxes until the end of the year.  This sounds great if you're a dumbshit.... except if you're not working it's not going to effect you.  And, if you are working... well, I do believe he wants to eliminate more than Income Tax.  He wants to also do away with Social Security deductions.  This means it will be a bad year on which to gauge your Social Security payments.  And, if you don't pay your half of the deduction, your company is not going to be paying their half.  Now, isn't that a nice perk for corporations who have already gotten a sweet deal of a tax cut?  He's not thinking about people, he's thinking about $$$.  He has never thought about people.  Why would he start now?  Think about it.  Everything he's done has been for the sake of the Holy Dollar.

Finally, we've been getting a lot of rain.  I took a picture of my Zinnias again. 

They haven't really changed much, have they.  Even the grass is still brown.

First Family From Hell

 We have rain this morning.  It rained yesterday, and the day before.  It's a little late in the growing season, if you know what I mean.  I have peppers and tomatoes.  My cucumbers?  meh.  I'll probably try cucumbers again next year, however I probably won't put them in a container.  I'll probably just stick them in the ground like most people.

Yesterday I found out that Sunday will be the last day we will enjoy the presence of a certain Specialist.  How many of those days will he actually work?  Don't know.  He is neither popular, nor does he care for those of us he works with.  He desperately needed to be number one, even if it meant lying about it.  He liked telling people his sales made him the Number One Specialist in the store.  It wasn't true.  We have a kitchen designer whose sales beat his hands down.  Still, that didn't stop him from trying to impress customers with his sales tales.  He's a lot like the Idiot Jerk in the White House, a man who has no problem lying to impress.

I see Blogger is now inserting blank lines between paragraphs.  

Speaking of the Idiot Jerk... Deutsche Bank is turning over the documentation he provided from back when he filed for some very large loans.  Actually, I do believe they began complying with the subpoenas back in April, 2019.  Of course, this is one of the main reasons why he's lying to get his sorry ass re-elected.  A sitting president can not be taken into custody,  The second Biden is sworn in, however, that protection disappears.  The minute Biden wins, the exodus of evil will commence.  I, for one, would not be surprised if his future includes a Reality Show in Russia:  Who Wants to be an Ex-President.  Maybe they could do something with Ivanka Danka turning over letters... or numbers... or fashioning striped sweats suits as Mealy Mouthed Jared collects cash from the audience.  I don't know about you, but I can see Melanoma making a boatload of cash from a solid stable of hookers models.  Or, maybe the show will be similar to The Osbournes.  They could call it The First Family From Hell.

Let's end this with a parting shot of one of America's phoniest Cracker Jack Christians.  This is how you grow respect.

The Body in the Well

Okay, so do I want to do the big stuff at the beginning of today's blog?  or at the end?
It snowed like hell yesterday.  I was a counter on the door, no more than 100 in the store at a time, and no one's buying flooring right now.  The Idiot Jerk's fan base thinks it all a joke.  It's all a hoax, you know?  Actually, we have 2 associates out with fever.  How many are actually infected?  We have no idea.  There aren't enough tests for everybody.  You can bet a hot rattler in Pope's Pew there are far more sick people in this country then have been tested.
And Jerry ( the Jr Cracker Jack Crazy Christian) is coming under a lot of fire for opening his university.  More and more people are getting sick.  Trying to defend themselves they ran a full page ad filled with phony information about other universities in the country, how many of them were 'open for business.'  Those universities are call Jerry a liar.  And his students are pissed.  You see, they're losing the big bucks they paid for their room and board... cause they couldn't come back to campus.  I'm betting it would be easier to get a good glass of wine at The Long Branch Saloon then to get a refund from Jerry.
In case you didn't know, the Idiot Jerk caved to the states.  His approval rating has dropped 6 points.  While he may crow over the ratings for his ego fest, most Americans don't watch.  Or they turn him off.  Take testing for example.  We don't have nearly enough for mass testing.  In fact, I do believe we're importing test kits from... South Korea.  And that Hydroxichloroquine?  Don't take it.  It's worse then snake oil.  Talk about the cure being worse than the disease... that stuff will kill you faster than a blunt instrument.
Looks like most of the country is going to have at least another three weeks in which they're going to have to stay at home.  Bored?  Stuck in the house?  Can't go  nowhere?  Maybe now's the time to sit back with a glass of wine and enjoy a little... murder.

And yes, that is a bloody hand print on the bar.  Now available at Amazon in both Kindle and paperback editions. 

Liberty U Fail

So, today starts my weekend... wonderful.  In case you didn't know, we're supposed to have an eclipse of the Sun today, not total where I live, just about 75%, and weather wise we're supposed to have thunderstorms this afternoon.  This means we might have a thunder and lightning eclipse.  Yippee.
This evening the Idiot Jerk in the White House is going to spit turds at America.  Rumor has it that he's going to announce that he's sending more troops to Afghanistan... which means he's listening to the same clowns 'W' listened to, you know?  The one's who said the war in Iraq would be over in a couple of weeks?  Of course, these kids are only going to be going there for a brief bit, to help train the Afghanistan army... wait a minute, haven't we heard that before?  Isn't that what the Republicans said about Vietnam?  Dumb Shits.
And, of course, that stain of a human, Jerry Fallwell Jr took a dump in his pants this past week as the attempted to support the Idiot Jerk in the White House.  His stands, however, don't seem to be sitting well with the current student body, and a number of graduates, who seem to have realized that the Idiot Jerk has no values, Christian or other wise.   However, Jerry Jr is going to stick to his guns.  I didn't get a chance, but I wonder just how diverse Liberty U really is, I mean, are there any Latino students, and Black students, or is everyone there a white Evangelical?  I'm sure they have a few tokens floating around, but my money says there aren't that many.  Junior's statements, however, do tend to reinforce the belief by many White Evangelical Christians aren't really that different than the Alt-Right.
Those Baleaf shorts I got turn out to be really great... there's just one hitch, you're supposed to let them drip dry and I threw them in the dryer on delicate... and they've gotten a bit tighter, which means you can see things a lot clearer now.  Lesson learned.

Of course, as I've told people time and time again, there's nothing wrong with tooting you own horn.
