The Truth Sinks In

 The outside temp is 67 (F) and there isn't a single cloud in the sky.  We're supposed to warm up today, into the mid to upper 80s (F), but, if the forecast is correct, daily highs will drop back into the low 80s (F) and no rain.  That will be nice.

We did get a lot of rain yesterday.  How much?  I have no idea, but it was a lot.  Debby went right over Central PA before soaking her way through New Jersey and New York.  Twenty-one counties have been declared disaster areas because roads have been washed out.  Yes, we had that much rain.  A water main broke somewhere in Mechanicsburg and we're under a "boil water" order until further notice.  While I have water, the pressure is low.  Showering will be difficult, so I may end up taking a sponge bath before I go to work.  

I ended up with around 8 inches of water in my basement.  As I've said before, when it does flood, it drains fast, so the floor is already beginning to dry.  My new water heater took a hit though.  I reset it, but the light is flashing 5 times followed by a 3 second pause.  That indicates a pilot light issue.  It's a Bradford White Defender, and since cold showers don't bother me, later this morning I'll contact them and arrange for a repairman to come, hopefully on Tuesday.  

Yesterday I made sure my credit card was good to go in Greece.  I also arranged for international calling for my T-Mobile account.  It's an extra $50 for one month.  I'll have to restart the phone when I get there, but after that I can call (should I want to) and send texts without having to rely on wi-fi.  

And then yesterday this also happened.

Twenty thousand people went to rally with Kamala Harris.  Just let that truth sink in.

The Orange Anus held a rally yesterday as well, in Bozeman, Montana, in an arena that holds a little less than 9000.  It was half full.  For those who don't know, Montana is a deeply red Republican state, and the arena was half full.  Of course, several of the Main Stream Media outlets streamed his rally live.  They simply don't understand.  A very large portion of America is fed up with their insistent coverage of Trump.  No one wants to see close-ups of the Orange Anus.  No one wants to listen to his cognitive decline.  Yet, they continue to show these things because the Moral Degenerate has people clicking on their websites.  And, in a very odd way, they are furthering the demise of his campaign by constantly airing Trump's tired, old bullshit.  What criticisms they have of the Orange Anus are not in bold print by any means.  This morning the WaPo, in a very minor headline, stated that the GOP's new worry was that the Idiot can't drive a coherent message.  Duh  Just let that truth sink in.

So, would you hit this?

So, while the Idiot Jerk in the White House was creating more turmoil in Phoenix last evening, I went to the movies to see  "The Hitman's Bodyguard."  I got to see a comedy, action, buddy movie while the Idiot Jerk was reading edited transcripts of his Charlottesville Tweets in order to look less racist, and, of course this was to an audience that was mostly white.
The movie was really funny, unlike the asshole in Phoenix.  It is a buddy movie, and for buddy movies to work the two stars need to have chemistry... and Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson do have chemistry... and it is good, very, very good.  The action scenes?  They're okay, sometimes a bit long.  There's one in Amsterdam involving a speed boat, a motorcycle, Interpol Agents in cars, Evil Russians in cars, and it goes on a bit too long.  But the scenes between Reynolds and Jackson?  These two characters fit each other like puzzle pieces.  They are The Odd Couple with guns, and vulgarities, with humor that sometimes catches you by surprise as it slips into slapstick (getting off the roof of the Interpol safe house, for one).  Strange though it sounds, their verbal of abuse of each other gives this movie it's heart, and it's not a bad one.

As for Phoenix?  The Idiot Jerk spewed out more lies, outlined his racist beliefs towards Latinos, said that he would build his wall even if he had to shut down the government...  Someone should tell this walking, talking turd that one of the main goals of a president is to grow his base, not continually isolated from the rest of the country, which is what he seems to get his most pleasure from doing.  Rather, his main goal seems to be more about creating as much hoopla around himself, which is why he is the Idiot Jerk in the White House.
