Fallout

 Well, it's Monday, the beginning of the work week.  Presently our temp is 49 (F) and it's expected to zoom, zoom, zoom up to 80 (F).  That's warm for this time of year.  We had rain overnight, and thunderstorms are expected later in the afternoon, early event.  With it being so warm, and with the rain, I can tell you that my lawn is going to go zoom, zoom, zoom as well.  

I do get to go to work today.  This will be the last shift I start at 0930.  That makes me happy.  Sure, I get to leave an hour earlier, but I'll be honest, that hour doesn't make that much of a difference.  I'm a morning person.  I get things done in the evening.  When I get home at 1930, all I want to do is either watch something on TV or play a video game.  The idea of starting a project, or continuing a project is the farthest thing from my mind.  I sure as hell not going to take a 14 mile bike ride.  In fact, as far back as I can remember, I've never been an evening person.  Perhaps that's why I was always late with my homework.

And, speaking of TV and video games.  I watched the new Fallout on Amazon Prime.  Loved it!  And I'm evidently not alone.  The show has a 94% on Rotten Tomatoes.  That same % is on Google reviews.  Yes, it's that good.  It has over the top violence that makes you laugh.  There is so much going on, I may have to watch it a 2nd time to get what I've missed.

Today is, also, the Spawn of Satan's first day in court.  Do you have any idea how good it makes me feel to say those words?  Finally.  Will he be held accountable?  I don't doubt.  I'm hearing that it make take 2 weeks for the jury to be seated.  During that time prepare for the onslaught of media reporting and opinionizing as America has never seen.  Will it hurt Trump in his attempt to win a 2nd presidency?  You bet.  He has always played the part of the injured party, but for this trial to help him he would need to play sympathetic and that's impossible.  He has always played the part of the angry victim, however, that's going to be difficult as people begin to testify.  As his sleaze factor goes on full display, Evangelical Christians are going to discover Trump was the test of Faith that they failed.  He is not the Herald they were praying for.  The cultists will rage, not because they feel sorry for him, but because he got caught.  It's always fun watching a phony great man fall.

The Early Morning Mind

 Saturday.  I work.  A full 8 hour shift.  Excitement percolates at the thought of sitting at the flooring desk and talking to people about carpet, should they go with Triexta, or just a simply poly (polyester).  Well, that's bunk. 

Being semi-retired means I can now sleep in a little if I want.  Of course, then I end up staying up later, which can, should I let it, begin they cycle of late nights and later mornings.  My neighbor did that, stayed up until 3 in the morning and then sleeping in until noon.  I find that I think differently late at night then in the morning.  I allow ideas to slide, rather than pinpointing details I find fascinating.  Like most people aging gracefully, I am concerned about my mind sliding, so this morning when the alarm went off at 0545, I rousted myself.  Are things clearer, sharper at this early hour?  Possibly.  I do know that I don't let things slide.  I didn't start playing a video game to help pass the time until I was tired enough to go to bed.

Well, this happened yesterday morning.  This is the 2nd dumpster brought in for the clean-up of the house next door.  Yesterday was also the day the workmen started cleaning out the attic.  One of them told me it was creepy.  I can tell you it's big.  The peak is 18 feet off the floor.  If there weren't so many beams, it might make for a nice master suite.

During an interview, Lou Dobbs claimed that there is a 'rank cover-up' in the Supreme Court over the Roe v Wade leak.  He's right, however his statement implies he believes the leaker to have been a Liberal.  I don't believe he understands how wrong he is.  Had that been true, this ultra Right-Wing court would have leaked that information.  Conservatives only protect their own.  I'm betting no one can even remember the last time a conservative stood up for a Centrist.  I know I can't.

And, of course, Jimmy Jordan got some bad news from the DOJ.  Sorry, no information regarding ongoing investigations.  As one of the insurrectionists involved in that fake elector scheme, I'm sure Little Jimmy is scared shitless.  You see, Jack Smith has subpoenaed quite a lot of information from those states planning on sending counterfeit electors to vote for Trump, not Biden.  Little Jimmy was deeply involved.  At first he tried to blame an aide for submitting the phony names, but as more people squealed to save their own asses, the truth came out: it was Little Jimmy, himself, who had submitted those fake names.  And Little Jimmy is scared his ass might fry.  Sizzle, Jimmy, sizzle.
