Arson and Attempted Murder

 Well, we had a red sky this morning.  The temps are in the mid 40s (F).  We will have added another 10 degrees onto that by the time we reach our highs in the mid 50s (F) this afternoon.  Our extended forecast calls for partially sunny days, with showers and thunder storms popping up during the afternoons.  For the past few years most of our Spring rains have fallen in May, this year is seems as though we're having the April shower they used to talk about, the ones that bring May flowers.  One fact is certain, my lawn is going to need mowing sooner rather than later.

Yesterday, being Sunday, I worked a full day.  Flooring ended up having a banner day, though not bannerly enough to make the week successful.  I did sign up a customer for a credit card.  That means I'll get an additional $5 on a paycheck.  Whoo Hoo!  Corporate does think that credit is the answer for everything.  For some people, it is.  I have a friend who is very deeply in debt, and she has mentally conditioned herself to the fact that a certain percentage of every pay check will go to paying that debt off.  Rather than cut back on using credit, she keeps adding to it, and I learned a long time ago that bringing up the subject is useless.  As I said, she has mentally conditioned herself.  This is a big problem with all too many people,

For those who didn't hear, a wacko named Cody Balmer broke into the PA Governor's Mansion and tried to set the place on fire.  He had a hammer with him and, according to things he'd written down, planned to beat the Governor to death.  To put this into even greater context, Governor Shapiro is Jewish, and this arson and planned murder happened on the first day of Passover.  Our governor is also a Democrat.  Cody Balmer hates Jews and Democrats.  Guess who Cody Balmer really likes?  I've been in this room.  It used to be beautiful.

And I guess that Wall Street is going to be rockin' and rollin' in the real world today, especially after Secretary of Greed Lutnick said that the exceptions on laptops and cell phones were only intended to last for 30 days.  To make things worse, the Orange Anus posted on his social media account that there were no breaks.  Everybody is going to pay.  

What's the Buzz

 I though yesterday was going to be the end of the hot days, well, I was wrong.  Today's going to be hot, too.  Mid 90s (F) again, with once again the threat of possible thunderstorms this afternoon.  This is pretty standard August weather..

Because it is going to be so hot again today, I'm going to gamble and hang at least some of my laundry out on the rack to dry.  Those high temps will evaporate the moisture rapidly, and my clothes will have that fresh, clean scent.  

Our new store manager arrived yesterday, and when he saw me, he gave me a big hug.  We've known each other for over 15 years, and as I've said, he worked to get promoted and I was happy where I was.  While this does give me some access to his ear, I don't expect to be his confidante.  Though I will admit to being more than a little pleased that the Assistant Manager who gave me the difficult time was standing behind me watching the two of us talk.  He smiled bigly.  It doesn't hurt to have him believe his new manager my be sympathetic to my complaints, should I have a few.

And then I saw this:

I just read that JD Vance is the Sarah Palin of Dan Quayles.  

Of course, there's a lot buzz going around about RFK finding a dead bear cub alongside the road, tossing into his car thinking he might take it home and cook it.  This man needs to watch what he says to reporters on video.  His following up that comment by telling the reporter he changed his mind and dumped the body in Central Park went over just as poorly.  His then pondering aloud, "I wonder if that's where I got my brain worm?" is not a hallmark of sanity. 

And the buzz is that Kamala's chosen her Vice President, and that he knows.  The buzz should be about how well she and her team know how to play the media.  I don't doubt that decision was reached sometime ago, but it pays for her to create tension.  She wants people sitting on the edge of their seats, and that's what they're doing.  Thank you Main Stream Media for making this headline news that takes the attention away from the Orange Anus.  Every second he's not in the headlines is like a bamboo sliver under his fingernails.  This is also a good indicator of how united the Democrats have become.  Everyone is on the team.  This is proven by the VP candidates who are constantly mocking and deriding both Vance and Trump.  They will keep this up and other voices will be joining in.  We are a movement that is growing daily.
