Carried Away

 And here in Central PA the rain continues.  Purportedly, the showers and thunderstorms should end sometime tomorrow an we'll have a few days before they start up again.  Overnight lows are in the mid 50s (F), which is nice sleeping weather.  While the constant rain may be somewhat depressing, on the positive side everything I've planted is growing by leaps and bounds, but then so is my lawn; it will need to dry out before I can mow it.

More chores were done yesterday than I had been anticipating.  Having Monday's off is nice, however that extra day does mess with my mental calendar.  I was just sitting here thinking that it's Wednesday and payday is Friday, only to realize I've just moved into Tuesday.  

And I did get a rowing session in yesterday.  I tried linking the rower to my Garmin account and there was an error.  I'd tried it before and got the same error, so I guess Concept2 and Garmin are having problems communicating.  I may try it again today.  Maybe I'll make the attempt using my tablet, since sometimes it depends upon the device you're using.

Did everyone hear about Republican Mike Lawler's Townhall?  An elderly woman who's unhappy with the Republican party was carried out. 

I find it fascinating that the political party that so desperately wants to yell "shut up! we're in charge!" has totally failed to take into consideration the wants and desires of their constituents, those people who actually voted them into office.  I can't even imagine the mindset these Republican Congressmen and Senators have that permits them to think those people who cast their ballots did so in order to lose the benefits many of them consider sacred.  I know several Republicans who are furious that their Social Security might now be in jeopardy.  These people posted numerous memes on Facebook telling their representatives to stay away from their Social Security.  Now they're upset because those same representatives are ignoring them.  These Republican townhalls would not be erupting in chaos if these voters had simply paid attention.  But no, when the Orange Anus said that he wants to be a dictator for at least a day, they shrugged it off, saying "he doesn't mean it, that's just the way he is."  Now they're discovering to their horror that he really did mean it, and they're being carried away.
