Don't Let Me Down

Good Morning, World.  It's a chilly 21 (F) here in Central PA, and that's going to be about as good as it gets today.  Well, not quite, temps will rise, but only around 7 degrees if we're lucky.  This means Howie's time outside is limited and he has only so much time to find a stick, or a twig, or a rock to trade for a piece of Puperoni.  Don't let anyone tell you dogs aren't smart.  He's long past the barter stage and I'm surprised he hasn't installed a little stick stand on the back porch with the only currency accepted being a tasty little treat.

There are chores on the menu for today.  Baking bread being one of them.  Here's an interesting thing that I've noticed:  it takes a long time for mold to grow on store bought bread.  I have had pieces in the bag for over a week and a half and, surprisingly they're not even stale.  Home baked bread, however, the kind which doesn't include lots of chemicals will start to mold in about a week, and will be stale in a day if not wrapped tightly.  

Yesterday at work, I sold a measure.  That was fine.  Sadly, $2680 of vinyl plank flooring that I sold two weeks ago was returned because... well, I have no idea.  That information is not provided.  So, instead of having a positive sales figure at the end of the week I was in the hole -$475.  Don't that suck.  And we have our store inventory coming up in 3 weeks, which means they want constant aisle maintenance.  This means filling as many holes on our shelves as possible, which in turn means I will actually have to work.  Can you hear the excitement in my voice.

One of my favorite groups, Milky Chance, recorded and released one of their best songs with a small Viennese orchestra.  There is a 2 album set coming out and I'm thinking it might not be a bad investment. 

I saw this morning that China is considering selling TikTok to Elonia.  I hate to tell you people, this will be very bad if it happens.  For one thing, his ties with China run deep.  They make the batteries for his cars, hell, they even make the cars.  One of the biggest concerns about TikTok is that the Chinese are using it to infiltrate American businesses, that they're stealing American secrets.  So what would be worse than having the man who bought the Orange Anus owning the app that Conservatives fear most.  It almost makes one wonder if that's why the Supreme Court is seriously considering banning TikTok unless the Chinese sell it... to Elonia.  Well, that didn't come up in the arguments, but you know them Conservatives love the idea of bowing down to the richest man in the world.

 

Idiots: bread for thought

We had about 2 inches of snow last night.  I think they're calling it a teaser snow... just a little tickle, tickle, tickle of what's on the way.... well, maybe.  Yesterday they were calling for  2" - 4" and today they calling for possibly 5" but they're also saying wet and sloppy.  We all know, there are those out there who would be happy for 5" of wet and sloppy.  Me?  I'd rather have 9" of light and fluffy.
I hooked up my 'Set Top' box from Verizon yesterday.  Two of the local channels I get are Crazy Christian.  This morning, sometime, I will set up my favorites.  Those 2 channels will not be included.  I had one on the TV for about 40 seconds and couldn't help but feel sorry for regular viewers, and we all know there are regular viewers.  They're a lot like heroin addicts getting their fix.
I saw where Mike Pence and his wife were 'deeply offended' by the complaints of her new teaching job.  They are so in love with their self-righteousness they have no clue as to what will happen if they open that Pandora's Box, but then they both no doubt relish a good persecution.  Their beliefs make them incapable of understanding the human condition as they idiotically pass judgment on everyone who fails to meet their narrow minded criteria.
This morning I saw this little snippet about two white Republicans meeting with an Alt-Right White Supremacist.  This guy named Johnson has published comments stating black people have a 'violence gene.'  He says the same thing about Muslims.  Of course, the two Republicans Idiots are claiming they didn't know Johnson was wacked out on White Supremacy, that all they talked about was DNA...  I'm serious.  That's what they said.  They talked genetics with some dick (sic Johnson) who believes in a black violence gene.  These guys are walking, talking proof of a 'White Republican Stupidity Gene.'
Oh, and the Idiot Jerk in the White House says Nancy must fly commercial if she wants to visit the troops.  I don't believe his letter to her has been published, not that I would have read it, but supposedly it is filled with sarcasm.  For two years he had a White Republican House that cherished his racist views.  That's changed in a big time way.  The truth is this shutdown is hurting both him and his party... and he doesn't care.  He never learns.  Six times his LLC holdings went into bankruptcy because... he never learned.  Six times he was given the opportunity to educate himself, and six times he chose to ignore the lessons.  What else would you expect from an Idiot.
And what will I be doing on this pre-storm day?  I'm thinking of baking bread.
