Besties No Moe

 Well, it looks as though we're in for a repeat of yesterday:  a nice warm afternoon, a fairly cloudless sky, and a nice, warm day over all.  Sometimes the weather in Central PA is marvelous.  Tomorrow, however, they are calling for rain showers in the afternoon.  That's fine.  We need the precipitation.  We've beendry for too long.

And, since yesterday day was my first day off after working 3, I ended up not doing too much, other than laundry.  Napping seemed to be in the forefront of my mind.  Around mid-afternoon I began sneezing, and soon after that realized some sort of nasally, sinusy thing was going on, and before long I had a teeny weeny sore throat.  Nothing to write home about, but an inconvenience all the same.  If I was prone to allergies, I'd put the blame on them.  Thinking today might be similar to yesterday, I took a sinus pill this morning hoping it will keep my nasal passages nice and dry.

My neighbor has started doing something odd.  Whenever she goes anywhere during the day, she places a small, wooden child's chair on their front porch blocking the front door.  I searched, thinking this might be some obscure tradition in an attempt to keep evil spirits away and found nothing.  Does anyone know if this has any relevant meaning, or is my neighbor just nuts?

And Orangie's a bit down in the dumps because Xi threw a military parade that made Orangie's look like moose squat.

Making matters worse for Orangie,  was the fact that Vlad and Xi were actually pictured holding hands. I kid you not!  As someone who has a little travel experience, men who are friends to hold hands in other countries, it's mostly only here in Christian America that it's considered gay.  Anyway, Orangie's feelings are terribly hurt.  He wasn't invited to the party, and Xi's parade made Orangies look like... well, we all know it looked like moose squat.  So did everyone else in the world.  

And Orangie's presser yesterday?  He showed up with bad makeup and even worse hair and rambled.  The Space Force is being moved from Colorado to Alabama because Colorado has mail-in voting.

Finally, for those of you who read The Body in History, spyware by the name of Pegasus made an appearance.  Well, it seems that, Paragon Solutions, the company that developed Pegasus has out done themselves, developing spyware they call Graphite, which can hack into any cellphone.  Orangie's administration has bought Graphite and is planning on putting it in the hands of ICE.  This is not a good thing.  

Millennial Me

 Now I know there are those of you who'd like to cancel Tuesday because of the approaching rain, me, however, I'm looking forward to it, hanging around the house in my sweats while the rest of the leaves finally fall from the trees.  At least I'm hoping they'll fall.  Then I'll be able to rake into piles where they can spend the winter decomposing peacefully.

The temps are supposed to hover in the mid 40s (F) all day, and there is no reason for me to leave the house.

I stopped off on my way home from work and picked up a generic brand of allergy medicine with an antihistamine.  Beside the frequent post nasal drip (every morning), there is also the drip, drip, dribble requiring me to constantly have a tissue near by.  I took one before I went to bed last night and woke up to the familiar post nasal drip, however the dribble has ceased.  This probably means I have some sort of crappy sinus infection that won't go away.

Yesterday was slow at work.  In previous years this was usually caused by customer anticipation of the Black Friday sales we offer, however, most of our sales are now active and those that will happen on Black Friday will seem pretty meager.  

Just because I'm not planning on going anywhere, that doesn't mean I'm doing nothing.  Vegging out is rarely in my playbook.

For starters, I took this interesting test the Washington Post sent me.  I suppose I should be pleased that even though I'm in the Boomer age category, my responses scored zero (0) for identifying me as a boomer.  49% of my responses say I'm a Millennial; 29% of them put me in the Gen X category, and the last 25% make me Gen Z, of course maybe all this means is that I'm a progressive thinker.

I did see an interesting article in Newsweek (for the vast majority of time, they're pages are still fodder for the outhouse), which said Republicans might impeach Biden just to satisfy their base.  Desperate times call for desperate measures. For them, it's always been about their base, meaning it doesn't occur to them that many voters would see this as terribly detrimental to their winning elections in 2024.  Their scatter shot approach has helped them win elections in the past, but that was pre-Orange Anus.  The more they lose, the more extreme they become without understanding that by doing so they move themselves farther and farther away from America's core values.
