Bluntness

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

Revealing the Republican Core of Corruption

We've got 13 (F) outside and our high today is only expected to be about 6 degrees warmer.  We are under a cold weather cold and wind advisory throughout the day tomorrow.  Bitter cold is upon us again, but only for a day.  A friend sent me a video of a local weatherman saying, "this time it's only going to last for one day, not 8 or 9 days."  We are 17 days into an approximately 90 day season.  My response was that there is warmth at the end of the tunnel.

Yesterday was supposed to be a cardio day.  It wasn't.  I do believe this is part of the winter doldrums, a time when I simply don't exercise.  I probably shouldn't have paused my Trainwell subscription, and plan to start it back up in 2 to 3 weeks.  Today's machine day.  That I like.  Growing muscle is always a good thing.

And I am watching Fallout on Prime.  Fallout New Vegas is considered the best game in the series, and this season they are in New Vegas.  Some of the set designs are straight from the game.  One of the most enigmatic characters of the game is Mr. House and in the series he's played by Justin Theroux.  In this series, he sports a moustache and does not run around in revealing sweat pants.


I also made moussaka for dinner.  Since it's quite tasty, it's something I'll make again, though I'll cut down on the liquid ingredients.  


Orange spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast yesterday and his hateful dementia came bubbling over when he said no person of Faith could vote for a Democrat.  Yes sir!  he's going to turn Christian against Christian.  I've seen comments about him being the anti-Christ.  Sorry, I'm not buying into that hokey pokey BS.  He is pure evil, though.  

Fascinating, is it, that so many other countries are beginning to investigate Epstein and his connections with men of power in their own countries, while the United States subpoenas the Clintons.  Nobody else.  This is rapidly become a global scandal and the Republicans in this country want to do what they've always done, try and deflect by kicking a dead horse.  It's pathetic when you think that the best idea rattling around in the petty, little brains is to subpoena Bill and Hillary.  Of course, they have to ignore so many people, because investigations into Thiel, or Musk would reveal the Republican core of corruption.  While other countries are asking serious questions, our Republican Congress wants to give them a safe haven.  They don't seem to understand that many Americans are watching them and assessing their evil intentions.  Republicans are so blinded by their lies they don't see truth is coming towards them at Mach speed.

Tzatziki

 Good Morning people of the world!  Right now the temp in Central PA is a comfortable 64 (F) with a high expected to climb into the low 80s (F).  Today's my day off, so I can live with that.

Yesterday was my first day back at work and I knew instantly that I'm going to need to reduce my availability.  After talking about my Grecian adventure with the Store Manager, I asked him if I'd missed anything.  He replied, "well, we fired a scoundrel," then he looked at me and said, "I can tell you the details."  It's nice to have been a Human Resources representative if you want to get the dirt.  The associate was fired for theft, a top reason we terminate people, mostly because they believe they're smarter than the system.  They're not.

Here's an interesting bit:  Friday night, as I was grabbing my suitcase from my car, I saw a white, domesticated bunny in my yard.  When I walked towards it, the bunny turned and I saw that the fur on the left side was brown and mottled, like that of a wild bunny.  When I walked towards it, the bunny turned it's wild side to me and hopped away.  Tame vs wild, I thought.  I found the symbolism intriguing.  When I told my friend, Patty, she said, "meh."  2000 years ago, that bunny would have been seen as a sign from the gods.

One of my core beliefs is that when you travel, you should eat the cuisine of the area, country, region you are in, and since I like Greek food, I had no problem with this.  This did not apply to other members of my group, who stuck with the same basic food groups they ate in their homelands.  Not me at all.  I did learn things though.  Our local restaurants serve Tzatziki as an appetizer eaten by itself, so when I ordered a dish, that's what I did.  It was only later that I learned that it's most often spread on thin slices of bread.  Tzatziki is a mixture of yoghurt, cucumber slices, and garlic... a lot of garlic, so much garlic that, as Christos said, "you could kill a fly a 5 meters."  Anyway, on Saturday, since I like Greek cuisine, I made moussaka (think of it as Greek Shepard's Pie), and it is delicious.


And a lot of people are upset because the Main Stream Media has left the eating of the cats and dogs behind and moved onto the phony assassination attempt.  This should have been expected.  Remember, they are always looking for their next hot topic because reporting on the same old cat and dog eating stories get old.  The American faux news consumer is always looking for fresh meat.  To those who are complaining, I say "Fear Not."  Trump's mind is like a garbage dump.  Because he can't help himself, it's only a matter of time be for he vomits up something new and vile.  Also, keep in mind, each regurgitation will be worse.  Probably the best thing we can all do is to sit back, eat a big bowl of Tzatziki, and breath in his direction.
