Tailgate Party, anyone?

 The sun is out!  Well, on and off, so I suppose you'd say we have semi-partial sunshine.  There's also a lot of fog, thick, like you see in the movies when needs to hide in it.  Temps today are only going to climb into the low 50s (F), but the flood warnings will now end tomorrow rather than on Saturday.

And I did get water in my basement again.  Not much.  Not deep enough to float things, and it's pretty much all drained out, leaving large patches where the floor is now dry.  

I'd had a bag of very old grass seed that I spread across the bare patches in my lawn hoping it would grow.  Well, that didn't happen.  Too old.  So this morning I'll drive over to the store and pick up another bag, something that's dog friendly for when the next beastie arrives.  Don't ask me what breed yet, I haven't made up my mind (many are tossing out suggestions).  Boxers are out.  I don't have any luck with them.  Though the Von Trapp Family Boxers will remain in the books. 

My brother leaves for Scotland today.  He and his wife are very excited.  This will be their first adventure in Europe.  I told him not to drink too much Scotch.  Though, if he wants, he can bring me back a big hunk of smoked salmon; one of my favorites.

I'm sure most of you have heard about the picture the Moral Degenerate posted on his Truth Social account with Biden in the back the a pickup truck.  Well, Occupy Democrats have their own version.  I don't think they'd have much of a problem if this was copied and posted across social media.

One of things I do wish media outlets would stop doing is listing polls.  We all know their fake, yet we are bombarded daily with results that are derived from a small number of people who keep their beliefs and feelings as secret as the ballots we love in this country.  During this primary season, a better gauge as to how America feels about our presidential candidates is to look at the voting trends.  For example, if Biden wins 89% of the vote in a Red State, that's good.  However, Trump wins 56% in a Red State, and 20% of the registered Republican voters cast their ballots for Nikki Haley, that's not good for Trump.  I'm sure the fact that in these Red States DeSantis, Rammiswammy (sp), and Haley are all taking votes from the Orange Anus should be extremely troubling for the Republican party.  These are the essential voters they need.  Without them, there is no victory dance, not that there ever was going to be one.

 We got rain coming in people, lots of showers, and possibly a few hour-long soakers to make your gardens grow.  Daytime highs are going to be hovering in the mid 50s (F) for the next few days, and showers and mini-soakers seem to be the norm.  There is that occasional day in which the skies are just going to be overcast.  Gloomy.

Though the showers and soakers are going to be nice.  Green is good.  I had an old bag of grass seed which is now strewn over the patches of my lawn that are bare of grass.  Female dogs, more so than males, are sod killers.  Salt in their urine spots and destroys your lawn.  Males?  Not so much since they lift their legs and shoot, meaning your backyard prefers shooters to squatters.  AS I said, the seed is old, so I'll have to wait and see if it grows.  If not, I can always buy another bag.

I installed the cove baseboard in my kitchen yesterday.  Cove is that rubber baseboard that fits in the kick area under your kitchen cabinets.  Some people don't like cove, saying it looks kind of cheap, and I'll admit that using white, or black this does tend to be the case.  But I used a pale brown that coordinates the the brown in the flooring.  I'll probably take a pic or two this afternoon and show the world tomorrow.

And for those who like their religion deeply intwined with their politics there is this.

Yep, Trump is grifting of bibles again, though not just any bible.  He's hawking the USA Bible, so for only $59.99 you can not only read you bible, you can read the American Constitution as well as the Bill of Rights.  These are not signed!  At least not that I'm aware of, though I suppose there is an option for you to buy and autographed copy for an additional fee.

And NBC canned Ronna, though most likely it isn't that she's been fired, more than likely they are just not going to renew her contract.  It's easier to pay her the $600 thousand she's owed, then deal with lawsuits.  I read someone said she should sue them for defamation of character.  Big problem, everything said about her was true, and there are soooo many video clips to back that statement up.

Finally, there was a special election down in Alabama and a Democrat won.  Alabama is a very conservative state, in case you hadn't heard.  It was the Alabama Supreme Court who said that a fertilized human egg was a person.  In Vitro Fertilization clinics immediately shut down because if something happened to one of those frozen embryos, they could be charged with murder.  Marylin Landis, a Democratic using the abortion and IVF issues, just won the special election for a seat in the Alabama senate.  She won in a Trump district.  Ouch.  And she won by a large margin.  Republicans are in trouble.
