It's Friday. The last of my 4 days off in a row, and the weather is going to be putzy. The clouds are not going to be clearing and this afternoon spotty showers are in the forecast. Temps in the mid 60s (F). This is not the recipe for joy.
Yesterday was a day of accomplishments: another walk in Adams - Ricci, a ride on the bike, and a dumbbell / band session. Some writing was done. And, according to Garmin, I had an excellent night's sleep, over 7 hours. If it weren't cloudy outside, I be feeling quite refreshed.
About a month ago I tried baking some cream cheesy, peachy thing in my oven, my own recipe, and the spring form pan leaked. It was one of those things I should have cleaned up but put off because I use the air fryer more than the oven. Well, last evening, part of my dinner was roasted asparagus, so I fired up the oven and smoke came billowing up. Burnt sugar smoke. Now my house smells like burnt sugar, not the most attractive scent around. This morning, when I go to my neighborhood Giant supermarket, I'll be picking up some over cleaner, and maybe a couple of dozen scented candles.
Here's another picture I took while walking through Adams - Ricci on a sunny day.
And, of course, there are only 7 more alternative jurors to go in Trump's campaign interference trial... or is it 6? Either way, jury selection should be completed by the end of today. I find it interesting that those people who've been eliminated have said, after seeing him sitting in the courtroom, is that he looks like an old, orange man. He might look more sympathetic to the jury if he got rid of the make-up and took the blond dye out of his hair. Juries do tend to empathize with seniors. However, that would present a terrible problem for him. His cult wouldn't recognize him. They'd wonder just who is this stranger?
I find it interesting that more and more news services are showing him approaching and leaving the courtroom without any sound. I've seen 3 so far, and the on-air reporter always mentions that we've heard it all before, and that he isn't saying anything new. Old news. Stale news. Been there, done that, and it's time to move on. That's one of Trump's many problems. Like the GOP he now runs, he is unable to stop kicking that dead horse. Except for his cult, who have turned his whines into a mantra, America is ready to move on. This trial will guarantee he is only a footnote in history.
