Glimmers of Truth

 Here in Central PA, our overnight lows did not drop below 40 (F), in fact when I check the temps this morning I found myself looking at 44 (F).  This is a nice savings on my heat expense.  Tomorrow, however, our weather forecasters are calling for up to an inch of rain.  That'll bring the temps down, as well as the leaves on the trees.  We're heading towards the middle of Autumn, so it's about time for them suckers to fall.

Yesterday was somewhat busy, somewhat hectic, and somewhat expensive.  A lot of chores were done, mostly because I stayed around the house.  I didn't go anywhere because I had a tech working on my upstairs computer, something happened to my VPN.  Damn.  I was getting a lot of errors letting me know that websites were failing to respond, or there was no signal.  Threads was one of them, and I do like to Thread on occasion.  Some of the time I watched, since everything they did (at one point there were 3 of them) showed up on my monitor.  Part of the problem was an old Kaspersky Anti-Virus app that I'd used for a short while.  Even though I'd uninstalled it, there were bits and broken files still floating around.  There were other things as well. Several corrupted Amazon Music files.  No malware, though.  Well, now it's clean as a whistle.  I signed up for a year of maintenance; that I will cancel rather than renew.

I did get a 50+ minute bike ride in.  This one was in Saskatchewan.  I didn't like it.  There were too many miles before I got to the first hill, and even though I'm not wild about hills, they are good for my legs and my cardio.  This does, I suppose, mean that I'm going to become a climber.

Things are going to get done today as well.  I've started using my alarm again.  I was in the habit of getting up early and somehow that habit got set aside.  Now I'm working to get make once again part of my routine.

And even though we all know you should never rely on polls because most of them are inaccurate, when Orangie's go low they're more accurate than when they go high.

What makes negative polling so significant is the fact that so much of Main Stream Media is busy sane-washing the Orange Anus.  Just think about it.  The idiot does Weeble Walk in Japan and MSM says nary a word while social media erupts.  He admits to basically struggling through a dementia test and major news providers gloss over that fact.  It is both Liberal and Social media where we see his failures highlighted.  That, in itself, is having a bearing on these negative polls.  The sources from where we get our news are changing  While the majority of MAGA cultists will never leave Fox Entertainment, some of them are now looking to Threads and Bluesky for information, and while it's true many of them are there to denigrate, by doing so they can't help but catch glimmers of the truth.  These glimmers are beginning to be reflected in the negativity many Americans are now feeling.  Lies can only go so far before the high cost of food smashes them to pieces.

 

It's a stretch

This morning at Planet Fitness was interesting.  I have a routine that I follow however, since I'm a versatile kind of guy, I have to shake it up, do it out of sequence, and that happened this AM because the Three Caballeros were using the chest equipment and they were chit-chatting behind me while I was doing my presses.   Holy Crap, talk about shallow pretentiousness.  Each has their own water bottle, their own towel, and a pad to jot notes in:  one has a fancy clipboard in a case and the other two have steno pads (that's right, steno pads, I didn't know they made those anymore).  And they surround themselves with their "equipment" and then stand there a chit-chat.  Note, they don't really talk.  Talking is using words that have meaning in a way that creates an idea which makes sense.  Chit-chat is air passing over vocal cords to make sounds which most often have no logic.  So, instead of doing my hammer curls, I went over and did my sets of Lat Pulldowns until they gathered their "gear" and moved on.   As a result, I ended up stretching my gym time out another 10 minutes, which is actually a good thing so maybe their chit-chat about using "using coupons to buy meat," had some value after all.
And speaking of stretching, what about the Idiot Jr?  Emails?  "Love it!"  Evidently the media isn't stretching for their truth, and the Idiot's claim that they're involved in a 'Witch Hunt' is just a stretch of the truth.  I mean, you have to admit that this is funny as hell.  All of those Conservative morons voted for a Traitor who had no problem asking a foreign government for help in winning the election.  A foreign government, by the way, that wants to make America Ungreat.   I also have no doubts that this is one of the main reasons McTurtle has demanded Congress delay their August recess.  In fact, it would surprise me if Conservatives all over DC have seen the Cyrillic Eviction notice written on the White House Wall.

Of course, there really are a lot of different types of stretches, just like there are all sorts of words, and sounds, and the Idiot and his entire family seem to have no problem in taking the truth and pulling it tightly onto the frame of their preferred reality.  Me?  Give me real, muscles any day.
