Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

School's Out

 Well, our temps hit 84 (F) yesterday and our forecast high for today is 88 (F).  There is a heatwave moving across the country.  I think we should all enjoy it for now, because temps are going to fall back into the normal range within a few days.  By Monday, the 15th our temps are predicted to be back in the mid 60 (F) range.

I'm going to invest some money in one of those wheely things you wind your hose around. (not the kinky type).  In fact, I did the bold thing and just ordered one.  It's a garden hose reel with 124 feet of hose that will need to be attached to the side of my house.  It should be arriving Saturday.

And I did cut a branch or two down using my saw on a stick.  I'm off tomorrow and a bigger bough on the maple tree on top of the hill behind my house will be coming down.  I will have to get out my chainsaw to cut it up once finished.  This is fine.  My yard is darkened and in shadow by way to many leaves.

I was surprised this morning when I woke up to get a text from my brother letting me know I was getting a belated birthday present:  Tickets to see Alice Cooper in concert at the Hershey Theater.  I've always like Cooper, even owned a few of his albums, but was surprised to see his tour was stopping at Hershey.  Tickets were very pricey and while I didn't mind paying that cost to see Paul McCartney or Elton on his farewell tour, for Cooper I thought they were a bitt to exorbitant.  Well, surprise, surprise, I'm going to see Alice Cooper on April 30.


A brief comment on the Dianne Feinstein issue:  she needs to resign.  She's 89.  She needs to put her ego aside.  I've seen people her age and older who are extremely functional, however, I do not believe they should be put in charge of helping out country run.

Ronnie DeSantis is running directly into the brick wall known as Donald, the Orange Anus, Trump and not loving it.  Tough.  DeSantis has never seemed to be an intelligent man, his only smarts being in that he thinks the MAGAs are destined to rule the United States.  His war with Disney show full fledged idiocy.  Lucky for America he's a Republican.  He will never stand down or back away, that would mean he'd made a mistake and Republicans never make mistakes.

Of Baloney, and Bidets, and Blundering Breakdowns

Yesterday was my Hump Day.  I celebrated by having a German Bologna sandwich, with provolone and lettuce, for dinner.  You have to admit, when I go all out... I go all out.  Growing up, we called it garlic baloney.  Our sandwiches here made with either garlic baloney of Lebanon baloney.  Anybody ever hear of Lebanon baloney?  For those who remember, I actually grew up in Lebanon, the source of Lebanon baloney.  

And just twelve miles to the east of Lebanon was Hershey.  What joy my childhood was!  Baloney and chocolate!

 Yesterday was a first when it comes to questions being asked by customers.  I was heading back to the department from the Service Desk and I was stopped by a woman and her husband.  She asked me "where do you keep bidet hoses?"  At first I thought I must have misunderstood her, so I asked her to repeat her question.  "Where are your bidet hoses?"  As she spoke, her husband pulled a 6 foot hose with an... attachment... from a bag.  Now, I don't know if we sell bidet hoses.  Bidets are not that common in Central PA, unlike baloney and chocolate, so I pointed them to Aisle 4.  That's where we keep the sink hoses and to my knowledge, both hoses are about the same... except for the nozzle. 

By now, almost everybody in America knows about The Atlantic article regarding the Idiot Jerks real reason for not joining other world leaders at the celebration of D Day, besides the fact he was concerned that the rain might ruin his hair.  This man does not celebrate losers.  For the Idiot Jerk, in war there are either winners or losers.  If you happen to die in combat?  Well, for the Idiot Jerk, that means you're a loser.  Because he is ego driven, he has no problem telling people this.  He has said John McCain was a loser for letting himself get captured.  Because most sane people know this about him, they have no problem believing the article in The Atlantic.  This man is a hateful blundering fool.  Last evening he had a bit of a breakdown shrieking his innocence and blaming the 'fake media.'  The time has come to hold this man accountable for his lies and deceits.  Vote Blue.
