Bluntness

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

Getting to the Root of the Problem

 The Vernal Equinox has arrived!  Sadly, this doesn't mean balmy days, rather we have now begun our transition to summer.  Temps will fluctuate.  Hopefully we'll get rain, though if this year's the same as the past few, most of our seasonal precipitation will not fall until the months of May and June.  No longer is the phrase, "April showers bring May flowers."  Nope.  Still, this past winter was colder than what we've been having so there's a chance that old adage might still be relevant.

Yesterday was a good day.  Howie and I went to the park and walked over a mile.  That's a lot for him, remember, no matter how big he seems, he's still a puppy.  He's got another 2 weeks before he hits 8 months, and he is big.

I also got an upper body workout in.  Nice.

Last evening I "beat" Skyrim, as gamers like to say.  That means I successfully finished the last "boss" fight.  I killed the dragon Alduin, and am now a Dragonslayer.  There are still other quests needing to be completed, so I'll probably continue playing the game for a bit, especially since I can now speak dragon.

Did a little yard work.  Howie tried to get to the root of the problem, though I don't know what exactly the problem was other than his having a root in the house.


There was a townhall for our local Republican ass Scottie Perry, not that Scottie had any plans to show up.  You see, Scottie is one of those spineless Republicans who believes that he can tell Americans how to live their lives without have to answer any of his constituent's questions.  Scottie is also one those Republicans who asked the Orange Anus for a pardon at the end of Orangie's first term.  Sounds like someone's more a bit culpable.

In Wyoming, Harriet Hageman, a Republican Congress woman who wallows in the MAGA lunacy, was booed, and jeered, and in return mocked her constituents, dyed in the wool Republicans who voted for her.  She will never learn.  They will vote her out of office.

Democrat Sean Casten, from the Chicago area, had a confrontational townhall, in which the police escorted one of his constituents out of the building.

Let's be honest.  A moral degenerate, catering to the a number of different voting blocs, the 2nd amendmenters, the Evangelicals, the anti-vaxers, groups that were happy as pigs in shit he was spouting their lingo to the world, won the election.  While dancing around in glee, they would have better spent their time paying closer attention to what the Orange Anus was doing, who he was contacting, and bargaining with, rather than just flippantly ignore him with  a "well, that's just the way he is." comment.  Now people are up in arms because this isn't what they voted for... sorry, this is what you voted for.  So many Americans are to blame for this and not one of them will admit to it.  Instead they will point fingers.  There are many roots to this problem, but accountability is a big one.  No one wants to admit that they are responsible.

Winter Storm Warning

Well, it's Tuesday, March 20, 2018... the first Vernal Equinox (first day of spring), well, not until 12:15 PM this afternoon... and we're under a Winter Storm Warning.  Isn't that nice?  I'm off today and tomorrow and the forecasters are calling for up to 10" inches... of snow.  Tonight the temperature is supposed to drop below freezing - that means it'll lay.  Free Cardio!  I'm off today and tomorrow so this temporary snowfall doesn't really effect me too much.  Well, maybe a little.  I was supposed to go to the movies this evening, that will probably be put on hold until Sunday.
And what about Cambridge Analytica?  This is just more proof that the Idiot Jerk in the White House is truly reprehensible.  What's actually rather sad for both he and the GOP is that with all the help they got from the Russians, Wikileaks, and now Cambridge Analytica, they could only get an Electoral College win; they lost the popular vote.  They are one entity.  The Republicans are going to let him do what ever he wants to do since objecting, or trying to control him would be admitting that they made a terrible mistake.  They would rather shoot themselves in the head first... which is what they're going to do.  Or, perhaps that's their plan... let him fire Mueller, create a constitutional crisis, and have the American People wipe that shit stain out of the White House.  That sounds more like them, you know?  Place the blame somewhere else and try to pass as much of their agenda as possible, get as many conservative appointments approved, before We The People take matters into our own hands.  But then Republicans have always been dumb fucks.
Anyway, I want to rush out to my neighborhood Giant before the snow starts - Bran Muffins are on the cooking agenda for this afternoon and I need brown sugar.
As for tomorrow?  Well, this might be me shoveling snow.


Though, actually... I'm a bit taller and don't have a beard.
