Streisand Sings

There's a storm front that's going to be moving through the area this afternoon.  High winds.  Possibly heavy rains.  They're predicting almost an inch of rain.  This is fine, as long as we don't get it in an hour.  That would be disastrous for low lying areas.  The temps are going to drop a bit too.  Remember, we're still in winter.  The good news is that the warm-up continues.

And work yesterday was... so... slow.  I got more than enough laps to to hit my step goal.  I browsed the aisles, as it were, looking for deals and I found one.  Arm & Hammer laundry detergent: 128 loads for $9.  That's a $4 markdown.  I now have laundry detergent for the next 2 years.  

I also did some research on passports for children.  All American children traveling abroad need a passport, no matter what their age.  So, if you're planning on taking your 10 month-old to France, he's going to need a passport, and that passport is only good for 5 years.  Honestly, you'd think there'd be a way in which you could simply update the picture every year.

And the Oscars were on last evening.  In spite of some sound issues, I enjoyed them.  One Battle After Another won 6 awards, including Best Picture.  It's definitely anti ICE, starting off with immigrants who've been arrested, being rescued.  I laughed a lot when I saw it since it's more of a comedy than a drama.  Michael B. Jordan won for play identical twins with different personalities in Sinners.  He deserved the award.  Timmy Chalemet lost all around because not only was he nominated for Best Actor, he was also one of the producers for Marty Supreme, which was also nominated for Best Picture, and Best Director.  And the high point was 83 year old Barbra Streisand's tributed to Robert Redford.  She sang live, and that brought a tear to my eye.  

Back in the real world, the Orange Anus is peeved that none of the countries that used to be our allies in NATO want to send any of their ships to help us open the Straits of Hormuz.  They know that the longer it stays closed, the more he's going to look like a dumb bastard for starting a war on a hunch.  People around the world are going to hate on America because of him.  

Gas prices are going to continue to climb.  The Orange Anus has evidently opened up the reserves trying to bring prices down and that, so many other of the things he does, failed to work.  MAGA cultists, those on the lower rungs of the financial ladder are beginning to complain.  Perhaps if they hadn't been so gullible, if they hadn't wanted to believe that a man who speaks like he's 12 years old was actually more mature than a... 12 year old.

And finally, RFJ Jr's team put out a video of him wrestling a Twinkie.  This administration has fallen so far.

Sydney and the stolen election data

 I'm heading into a work free week beginning today.  The store will not see my happy, smiling face again until Saturday, and then only for 6 hours.  The department has been rather understaffed lately.  I've helped by giving up some of my free time, something I'm not fond of doing.  They still have to hire a specialist to replace the one who gave his notice, and then showed up for a few hours on his last day.  Another associate, as I mentioned before, fell off a roof.  He's scheduled to be back at the desk on Thursday, with his shoulder in a big cast; that's going to put a damper on his texting.  The Haitian we hired to be an evening aisle associate has also stopped showing up for work.  He told us he followed his own schedule rather than the one written for him.  I do hope his personal schedule lets him know he's being terminated as a 'no call, no show.'

They were predicting rain for yesterday, and what we got was the occasional shower.  So, last evening I was out with the hose watering my plants.

When I got home from work yesterday, my neighbor's brother was at the house.  Since they're going to be throwing everything out, I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't picking through things.  As I'd said, Dirty Dawg had been there on Saturday to give them a quote and evidently it was more than they were wanting to pay, otherwise that house would be empty.  It will be interesting to see how the family proceeds.

And Rudy Giuliani is going to be indicted, at least that seems to be how things are playing out.  He's before a Georgia Grand Jury today.  I wonder if he's going to be sweating hair dye.

Oh, and evidently the FBI also confiscated 3 of Trumps passports, though he admitted one of them had expired.  Let that sink in.  3 passports.  He doesn't have dual citizenship with any other country.  I have one because, as a US citizen I only need one.  But he had 2 passports he could use.  Something smells a bit fishy.  The fact that they took them implies they see him as a flight risk.

And I do believe that Lindsey Belle is supposed to be testifying today as well.  He is probably not sweating hair dye, bullets?  yes, hair dye, no.  I wonder if any of those NDAs he had his escorts sign become null and void if his ass gets indicted.

You do have to admit that bombshells seem to be dropping daily now.  The Washington Post dropped this one yesterday.   Treasonous Sydney Powell and her group of traitors hired a computer group to breach sensitive voting machines in 3 states:  Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada.  That's a criminal felony.  These charges will no doubt make Sydney a flight risk.  Ouch.
