Republican Blackmail

 Well, I get to go to work today.  That fact is sweetened by the fact that I will also have the next 2 days off.  For those who don't know, life is about balance.  The more we keep things on an even plain, the happier we are.  

Even though the forecast claims we have 0% chance of rain, the sky outside is heavily overcast.  A little rain would be nice.

I got a lot done yesterday, including a 2.5 mile walk through Herculaneum.  It is not nearly as tourist friendly as Pompeii.  

Twitter gave me headaches yesterday.  First of all, I got a message I was being locked out for sending threatening or harassing Tweets.  There was no example, but not knowing what else to do, I clicked 'next.'  A few minutes later telling me that there was suspicious activity on my account, and I was being locked out for them to verify.  Shortly after that I got a warning telling me there was no email attached to my account.  Well, shit.  How could that be when I'd been verified?  So, I tried signing into my account and got a warning:  wrong password.  Suddenly, there's no email attached to the account and the password I've used since day one is wrong.  Son of a bitch!  What did I do?  I set up a new account.  Easy Peasy.  No problem.  What happened to my old account?  I have no idea.

Looking out my front window this morning, I saw that my elephant ear plant had been devastated.  As you can see in the picture, the culprit was still nearby.  This is what happens when you live in Bunny Hell.

And, of course, people are talking about Lindsey Graham's visit to the Trey Gowdy show on Fox News last evening.  You remember Trey, don't you?  Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi?  Those failed hearing which cost the American taxpayer over $160 million in the Republican attempt to blame Hillary for the incident at Benghazi?  Well, last evening Lindsey told Trey that if Trump were indicted there would be riots.  Now, I don't know about you, but that sounds I think that sounds a lot like Republican Blackmail; the sort of warning a crime boss might make.  Trump, himself, while not make the threat himself, is using the same rhetoric he used going into January 6.  Personally, I'm at the point where I'm saying, "bring it on."  This MAGA cult Trump controls?  They are a cancer.  If they get away with this shit now, they will only grow worse.  The time for niceties is over.  We do not cave into threats of violence.  A large majority of Americans has had it up to their ears with both Trump and the Republican party.  Trump needs to be indicted and jailed along with Lindsey Graham and the rest of these losers.

Snow White

 Well, it's Friday, I don't work today.  That's nice.  Snow was falling when I got up.  We're not getting much, a dusting to maybe 3 inches... maybe.  Most of the storm is moving up the coast.  New England will get hit, we'll end up with a light brushing.

Looking out my bathroom window, I did see a bunny on the hill behind my my house.  Here he / she is, pretty much in the center of the picture.  As I've mentioned before, I live in bunny Hell.  If you can see one, you know  2 = 3 others nearby.  The top of the hill is my property, but since there's no path, I let nature run it's course.  About twelve years ago the family in the house behind my tried to make it part of their lawn, hence the remnants of a sandbox.  They, however, moved moved and the current residents have no interest in it.  

This is a quiet day for me.  I'm not working on a book, though I may take a few notes on the next one.  I'll probably work on my German, play a game.  I might do both a walk and a ride.  The time has come to begin burning the calories.  I've spent too much time sitting behind my desk nibbling away in between the turning of a phrase.  

I've read that an air fryer is better than a microwave, any opinions?  

Politically speaking, small towns in the heart of Crazy, Cracker Jack, White Christendom are people's rights, and not just LGBTQ rights.  Jewish rights, POC rights. These conservatives have such a desperate need to dictate and control they see everyone who is not white and Cracker Jack Crazy as the enemy.

And, of course, there's Peter Dinklage shit about the live action version of Sleeping Beauty.  His stating he movie is about "seven dwarves living in a cave" proves he's never seen the movie, other wise he'd know they live in a home.  He must have hated The Lord of the Rings, because there were  lot of dwarves in that epic. and they actually did live in caves.  When I think of Snow White, I think of seven short people taking in a homeless girl, and then trying to protect her from her evil stepmother.  Personally, I think Dinklage has a little chip on his shoulder.
