The Shit we Scrap off our Boots

 It was 35 (F)F when I let Howie out this morning at around 0500 and there was frost on my windshield.  However, this morning was the coldest in the forecast for the next few days.  This coming week our high is again expected to be in the mid 70s (F); that will be very warm for November.

I dealt with a really nice Indian couple yesterday.  Probably in their mid 30s, they're buying their first house. They told me something I didn't know:  that in India you are always barefoot because wearing shoes inside is considered very bad.  They carry that over here in the states, except they permit themselves to wear slippers, that they keep just inside the front door.  I don't know about you, but usually I only wear socks inside.  The only time I put on my shoes is when I'm going outside.

The Plumber is coming tomorrow morning.  Finally, I'll be able to turn on the water and do laundry.  I know some of you were probably expecting me to say shower, but I do turn it on briefly for that, but then I turn it off again.  Showering takes a few minutes, laundry?  The washing part takes at least a half hour, that means a half hour of drip, drip, drip.  Sometime this afternoon I'm going to try and remove some of that bad fix I put around the connect so he as free access

Yesterday I gave Howie a Tator Tot to see what he'd do with it.

And last night, in case any of you in America were hiding under a rock, the Orange Anus held his rally in Madison Square Garden.  Maybe I should correct that statement, even if you were hiding under a rock, I fairly certain that you've heard the fallout.  Wait, fallout is not a strong enough word.  Neither is backlash.  The alarms have finally begun to go off in the Main Stream Media.  Vile and vulgar are just two of the many words I've seen in my morning scans of the headlines, and these are big, front page, bold faced headlines, not those little things they used when they were sanewashing him.  I don't know if any of the main media outlets carried Trump's rage storm, but if they did, the average American got and eye and ear full of hatred, of unadulterated white supremacy, of racism, of bigotry.  I have this bad feeling that Trump and his allies believe that are terribly in tune with those of America.  Boy are they wrong.  They are worse than the shit we scrap off our boots.  I've said this before, and I'm going to repeat myself again, his Karma / Judgement is coming, and it's going to be bad because the gates of Hell are figuratively going to open for Donald J. Trump.

Republican Voter Fraud

We under a freeze warning of Monday.  So far, we haven't had a legitimate frost.  We shall have to see if it happens. They tend to forecast both colder and warmer temps then we actually get, I guess that's just the weather people playing it safe.  The last thing they want is to be accused of being wrong, as if that doesn't happen regularly.  

Some people were excited because yesterday was the end of their work week.  Not me.  I don't work Fridays.

It appears as though the intestinal problem I've had is finally over.  I tried the Imodium.  Didn't work.  Yesterday, I bought the age-old favorite:  Kaopectate.  Fingers crossed... that's seems to be working.  I slept through the night, a first.  There does, however, still feel as though there's a little savage jabbing his spear into the sides of my stomach, and the though of eating is not very appetizing.   I ate 2 pieces of plain toast and 2 scrambled eggs for dinner last night and they do seem to have worked their way through my digestive tract safely.

On Thursday morning I discovered that I had a leak in the bathroom.  Not being in the best of spirits, I thought I'd do a quick fix.  That failed.  The water drained down along the water pipe, dropping onto the kitchen ceiling, and creating a mess.  Had I been thinking correctly, I would have approached the problem differently, however at that time all I wanted to do was sleep.  I actually did sleep quite a lot.  The end result is that later this morning I'm going to be calling the plumber and making an appointment for Monday.  Usually I'm scheduled to work on Monday.  This Monday, however, I'm scheduled off for the entire day.  How lucky is that.

Here's a pic of Howie out on what I fondly call the veranda.  He's not quite 10 weeks old.

And how about that voter fraud in Lancaster county, Central PA?  Around 2500 voter applications were discovered trying to register phony people as Republican.  There is evidence that 2 other counties are also involved, and those counties have been notified.  And which group of people was targeted?  The Amish, that's pronounce ah-mish.  The registration applications were handwritten and dropped into a drop box.  For those who don't know, Monday is the last day in Pennsylvania to register to vote for this year's election.  Whispers are saying the incident is related to Musk's get paid to vote agenda.  That guy is such a dipshit.

Finally, like a number of other people, I cancelled my subscription to the Washington Post yesterday.  Some are saying this decision by Bezos hurts Harris.  At this point, I honestly don't think it makes much of a difference.  People's minds have been made up for some time.  And the print media?  They've been losing relevance for quite some period of time.  This decision will only help hasten their demise.
