Run, Donald, Run

 Hello Thursday.  I don't know what the temps are like where you live, but here in Central PA they're supposed to climb into the mid 50s (F), which is toasty for late December.  Wednesday of next week, we're supposed to top off at around 60 (F).   I'm fine with warm weather, as long as it saves me money on my heating bill.

Yesterday was good.  I rearranged some furniture, not doubt part of my DNA, did 2.6 miles on the treadmill, and worked on the book.  

Re: the treadmill.  I don't like running, but I don't mind walking very fast, my average speed being 3.6 - 3.9 mph, once I hit 4 mph I'm actually in a slow jog.  To increase my heart rate, I make the incline steeper, so I'm walking fast up hill.  The videos I watch are either Pro-Walk Tours (great for the stay at home tourist) or The Average Runner (he runs around New York City).  I avoid content providers who are into wilderness trail running.  When I try to explain what these videos are like, people say "interesting," but I can tell they don't really understand, so here's one from The Average Runner running down the entire west side of Manhattan.

One of the headlines that caught my attention this morning was about police in Michigan finding the body of a doctor under pond ice.  There is a huge difference between a pond, and Lake Huron, but I did find the similarity between the headline and the title of my next book interesting.

As we all might have expected, the Feds are now investigating George Santos.  Allegedly, he used $700,000 from his business (?) to fund his campaign.  That's against the law.  Santos is, truly a man after Trump's own heart, a pathological liar.  It seems that barely a second goes by without another revelation.  I have to stop reading and simply laugh at times.  He started a GoFundMe for himself, and used a fictitious name.  He's becoming more and more preposterous and, of course, the Republicans are ignoring his lies because they need his vote.

And finally, everybody's least favorite moral degenerate, Donald Trump, supposedly said yesterday that if the Republicans don't give him the nomination, he'll run as an Independent.  That might just be the final nail in the GOP's coffin.  I read that and surprised the hell out of myself by shouting Run, Donald, Run!
