Mohawk

 Well, we had another cool wakeup this morning, with our outside temp a comfortable 60 (F).  If the long range forecast holds out, over the next 2 weeks only one day will have temps reaching the 90 (F) mark.  There's not a lot of precipitation in the forecast, which means daily waterings of the tomatoes, but that's fine with me.

Yesterday was uneventful mostly because I work the entire day.   We did have a senior customer who sat and talked for about twenty minutes.  She was very nice.  While she didn't tell us how old she was, I'd estimate she was easily in her mid 80s (F).  I showed her pictures of Howie, and she said she'd seen many colored Labradors before, but never one that was red.  We did have her laughing, which made me feel good.  I do think there are times when seniors go out just for the socialization, that's why I talk to all of them.  Some of them are quite interesting.

My local Giant supermarket had a deal on Spam last week and it turns out that Howie loves the stuff.  It's a little pricy at $4.59 for a 12 ounce can, so it's a treat he's only going to be getting on special days, like today.  What makes today special for Howie?  It's his birthday.  He's one year old today.  So instead of cake and ice cream, he's going to get Spam, and more than just 2 or 3 slices.

About 50% of all the carpets we sell in the store are manufactured by Mohawk.  The company has taken a stand on the tariffs.

Supposedly the great orange home improvement retailer I work for said that they weren't going to be raising prices because of the tariffs. However, first there was Procter & Gamble and now Mohawk, who knows what other prices are going up as well.  My feeling is that price increases will quietly be passed onto our shoppers.

For those cultists who are still lost in the haze of hate surrounding the Orange Anus, the Find Out stage is going to kick in quickly.  Halloween and Christmas depend on China cheap prices.  These cultists are not even preparing for higher prices.  I can give you an example of these price increases.  I bought a walking pad on 7/31, yesterday, while at work, I showed it to a friend and to my surprise the price had increased by $100.  These price increases are going to be everywhere.  Americans are going to be paying a lot more just so that billionaires can get a tax break and earn more money.

Diaper This

Hello, it's me...  Here's a picture of me that my Mom had when I was just a little shit, a mere 7 months old.  Aren't I cute?  That's my first Mohawk!!  No, I'm not naked, I'm wearing a diaper.  Some day that may happen again, but for right now everything is safe and secure.

Yesterday, while doing all sorts of odd things around the house, I took some time to scan the headlines.  Talk about a potpourri of bullshit.  Did you know Roger Stone has admitted to lying.... and as part of his punishment he has to publicly admit to doing so and apologize for being a lying sack of shit.  And where did he get these lies?  Guess.  Well, Roger says he got them from some guy named Sam who's with the Idiot Jerk's administration.  So, do you think Roger has started wearing a diaper?  My money says you can Depend upon it. Most likely the Fit-Flex.
And then there was the Tucker Carlson shit show.  He said that because immigrants are poor, and dirty, they should be kept out of our country, especially those dark, brown ones coming up from south of the border.  Tucker's going to stand his ground!  He's not going to cave in to the liberals no matter how many sponsors leave his show.  So is Tucker wearing a diaper?  Probably not, he's choosing to wallow in his shit.  Tucker's proudly proclaiming "I'm a racist, damn you, so stop trying to make me human."
In case you missed it, the Russians are still in the news... but when aren't they.  It seems like every day we get more and more information on how they were working to get their guy elected.  Social conservatives want to believe the Idiot Jerk was elected through divine intervention...  That may be the case, as long as the divinity speaks Russian and calls himself Vlad.
Finally, there was this little, tasty chestnut.  It seems that 62% of voting Americans believe the Idiot Jerk is lying about Russia.  Every time he shrieks 'witch hunt' they think 'asswipe.'  And the 38% who believe the Idiot Jerk?  I suspect some of them have already started hitting the Depends store. They are prepping for that day in the not to distant future when they all start shitting in their pants.
