The Bonding

 To my surprise, yesterday's temps climbed up into the mid 70s (F), and the day turned out to be wonderful.  What a shame I had to work.  Today, unfortunately, will not be a carbon copy repeat.  When I got up the outside temperature was 61 (f), and the only direction it's going to go is down.  According to the forecast, our thermometers should bottom out at 52 (F) for the day's high.

Yesterday much was accomplished, and by that I mean I rowed and I got in an upper body dumbbell workout completed.  Over 400 calories were burned.  I was very pleased. 

Then, because I'm always scheduled for Mondays, I went to work.  Boring.  Even though our garden department and flooring were going strong, when I left I knew we weren't going to be hitting our plan for the day.  We missed our budgeted goal last week by a substantial amount.  I suspect this might be the case from now on.

When I got home, a pair of glasses that I had ordered were in my mailbox.  Green.  Green is one of my favorite colors.  However, the minute I put them on a problem was obvious: the right eye was terribly blurry.  Merde.  So I pulled out my order and saw that I'd keyed in the prescription for the right lens incorrectly, instead of +125, I keyed in -125.  Big difference, and it was my fault.  Those glasses are now in the trash.  I didn't really need to order a new pair of glasses since my eyes haven't changed, so I'll wait a few months before ordering another pair.

Yesterday the Orange Anus had a Meet and Greet with some dictator named Buckle, the spelling might be a bit off, but I'm certain the pronunciation is correct.  We all know how much Orangie loves him his dictators, so no one should have been surprised at the way he fawned over a man who runs the worst prison system in the world.  Why, they even held hands.

Of course, we are now in a Constitutional Crisis because had no problem giving the wannabe dictator immunity for things he did while in office.  The Rolling Stone has a nice piece about how Orangie is laughing at and mocking the Supreme Court.  Paraphrasing their article, Orange and Buckle had a bonding experience.  Believe me when I tell you Orangie wants to be as ruthless as Kim Dumb Jung.  In his twisted mind that represents true power.  As someone said, the ball is now in the Supreme Court's hands.  Will they have him arrested?  Doubts are strong.  

And then this morning I read some frivolity on the NBC news website saying that one of their polls indicated that registered voters were gravitating to the MAGA movement.  Of course, they gave no information about the poll, just that it was one of theirs.  The humor was in their saying that 36% of registered voters now like the MAGA way.  That number hasn't actually changed... in years.  That 36% is the Republican party plus the same 6% of Independent voters who have always leaned Republican.  Nothing has changed even though they want Americans to believe it has.

Thank you Andrew!

Can you believe it?  Today is my Friday in more ways then one.  Firstly, it is 'that' day of the calendar week, and 2ndly, it's the last day of my Staycation.  Interestingly enough, I go back to work for a single day and then have another day off.  The temptation is there to take a personal day tomorrow, that would give me 8 days off in a row, but honestly, I don't mind going back for one day.

Lily loved her birthday cake!  She supervised the cutting, making sure Biggie got the smaller piece.  I'm going to slice up and freeze the leftovers for later.

And I had to order a new pair of glasses from Zenni.  The ear piece snapped off the pair I was wearing regularly.  For an entire 2 seconds I contemplated taping it back in place, but the idea of repeating the 'taped glasses' look I had when I was 12 was too much.  This means I'm back to wearing the old D&G frames again. 

And I printed off a NOLA map yesterday, it helps to know where the bodies are buried.  You can even see the location of the Amon-Ra nightclub.

Some of you are probably asking yourselves how, if I've never been to New Orleans I know so much about the city.  The answer is Andrew.  He has a YouTube series of walking tours.  The ones on New Orleans, where he lives, are quite informative.  For those of you interested, take a look at Andy in action. And here's a link to his website for those interested.

 Finally, for the Friday funny bit, did you know devoutly religious people do not believe in extra-terrestrial life?  Especially the intelligent type?  Except for the Hindu religion in which Vishnu (?) claims to be the 'destroyer of worlds,' no mention is made of life other than here on earth.  This is to be expected since those wizened old fools who created these theologies were only concerned about their own selfish power grab.  Nothing can exist outside the 'me' sphere of their consciousness.
