Your Legs are the Engines of your Body

Yesterday was a bit surprising.  Actually, a lot surprising.  About an hour before I was supposed to leave a couple started looking at the vinyl planks.  As I began talking to them, he turned to me and asked if I had worked for International Paper.  Of course, you can recognize people with their masks.  He started to explain he had been our physical training advisor, when I remembered him.  Believe me, it's so nice to recognized while after 14 years, even when wearing a mask.  He's the one responsible for my becoming involved with working out, helping me set up training programs.  Shawn is the one who first taught me a a truth I have repeated many times in this blog:  Your legs are the engines of your body.  Of course, he also said "you know you got a good leg workout in if you throw up when it's finished."

I did pick up one of those cheap area rugs before I left.  This is how it's done in retail, you buy it when you leave.  I rarely make a special trip to the store.  One of these days, I'll wander back through garden and see if the veggies have arrived.

Evidently, many of those who have received stimulus checks are like me, banking the cash.

"The Body in the Loch" is with reader #2.

Of course, as time passes, the effects of Loser #45 are becoming more and more apparent, and not in a good way for Republicans.  For them, the only way to win the culture war is to go farther and farther to the right.  The staunchly refuse to accept the fact that America is changing.  We are evolving as a nation.  Thanks to Loser #45, Democrats now outnumber Republicans by 9%.  That's a large percentage.  And it's growing.  They are desperately searching for a message to unite their hateful minority, and their intentions are causing the average voted to take a big step back and wonder what in hell is wrong with Conservatives.

Oh, and the funny comment of the day belongs to Georgia's Lieutenant Governor who blamed their severe voting restrictions on Giuliani and 'the big lie.'  Those are the words of a desperate Republican.

A Truth They Cannot Accept

Okay, so a friend and I installed a new / old back door yesterday.  First of all, I have to say that I'm glad it fits, this is often not the case when you own a 115 year old home.  Things don't fit since there are very few square or rectangular spaces.  All I need to do now is tack up the trim work.  The only problem we had was that it rained like hell.  Buckets and buckets and buckets... while we hung the new / old door.  Ah, well, these things happen sometimes.  I always say, "if that's the worst thing to happen to me in my life, then my life has been pretty damn good."

For those who don't know, the Idiot Jerk's new Reality show hit the airwaves last night.  He made 2 appearances.  Supposedly the GOP was going to go optimistic... okay, now stop laughing.  They are not optimistic about anything, which is why they went negative.  Ominous is the word many in the media are using.  Their full hatred of everything they can't control is on display.  For those who don't remember, or weren't born yet, Barry Goldwater went negative and he lost badly.  In case you're wondering, this show is only going to get worse as the Republicans desperately try to hold onto their base.

How disorganized are they?  Hell, they couldn't even getting enough of their ducks in a row to write a new party platform.  They're using the planks put together in 2016, the ones that say the current president is bad.  If they had read it, they'd have known this.  Of course, not having a platform means they are going to let the Idiot Jerk set their agenda should they once again win the White House.  

Well, we know that's not going to happen.  The truth is there are very few sitting on the fence with this one.  If you think the Idiot Jerk and his flock of demons are angry now, just wait until they lose.  Their hatred will flow.  The take rejection very poorly.  It means that they have not been chosen, that they are wrong.  Ouch!  Only time will eliminate the polarization they depend upon for power.  We are the dam which keeps their rage from flooding America.  But keep in mind they are old, and getting older and America is changing in ways they cannot accept.   The last time I had breakfast with my brother I told him "there are more Blacks, and Hispanics, and Asians in this country then there are Republicans," and he looked down and away.  That is a truth they cannot accept.

And finally, as of yesterday, I can no longer wear a gaiter to work.  Masks are now required.  They're also going to check our temperature and we're going to have to fill out a survey each and every day we work.  I bought some new masks.

I don't know about you, but I'm kind of concerned some perky young thing in a snazzy bikini is running around topless.
