What Not to Wear

 So, is today going to be funday Sunday?  Nah, at least not for me.  Temps outside are on the cool side, nestling down in the low 40s (F).  My heat kicked on, that's how chilly it is, and our high today might make it into the low 70s (F). I have to spend 8 hours at the store today, nothing else is planned.  The only good thing is that because I start early, I get to leave early.

I also get to sit at the silly Lead Table today attempting to get customers to sign up for a free home consultation on heating and air conditioning systems, window installations, bathroom remodels, you know the big ticket items most people are starting to avoid because of the economy.  I don't doubt that our garden center will be busy, but the rest of the store?  Probably not so much.  That's how it was yesterday, and Saturdays are our busiest day of the week.

Because I'd looked at the weather forecast before I went to work, I knew that temps were going to be falling so I wore a long sleeved shirt.  That was good because when I walked through the parking lot to get to my car the outside temps were sitting at 61 (F).  Isn't it nice that I, like most of us, know what to wear.  Sadly, there are buffoons around us who will never know what to wear, like the Orange Anus.  Here's a pic of him yesterday at Pope Francis' funeral where protocol says the appropriate attire is black.  Blue, and not a nice, dark Navy Blue.  Nope, he had to go bright so the world would pay attention to him.  Not only did he dress inappropriately, he also fiddle with his phone, popped a stick of gum into his mouth, and then took a little nap, all the while sitting in the front row for the entire world to see.

Can you hear me laughing at him?  I saw some joker saying surely his staff must have gotten the email regarding attire and had to shake my head.  Of course his people were told what was appropriate.  Wearing black, he would have blended in... somewhat, his Oompa Loompa orange face would have made him stand out, but barely.  He wanted every eye in the world to be on him, so he wore a blue suit and blue tie, and he looked like a fool.  He was called out during the homily, where the Pope was a man who wanted to build bridges, not walls, the reference being to Orangie's failed border wall.

I'm suspecting that his disdain for protocol will show up in his approval ratings this week as all of those Catholics who voted for him realize he sees them as nothing more than tools.
