Day after Day

My weekend starts today!!!  I got up around 0515 and am on my 3rd load of laundry.  Wacking my weeds was also on the agenda - that however might have to wait.  Forecasters are calling for showers and thunderstorms.  Golly Jee?  When is a fellow supposed to do his lawn work?
The truth is today is going to be pretty much like yesterday.  The sun will rise and set.  Actually, it doesn't.  The sun doesn't move at all.  We spin around it.  The truth is that the sun will rotate into view, unless, of course, you're a 'flat Earther.'  I have no idea if they think the sun rises and sets or rotates.
And speaking about how one day is pretty much the same as the day before, how about that Nick Sauer?  In case you don't know, he's a conservative Republican from Illinois, and he's just like so many Conservative Republicans.

You know who I'm talking about, the clean cut, go to church guys who find their girlfriends on Tinder (bet he swiped right).  The ones who sing hymns to 'family values' while taking naked pictures of those girlfriends.  And what does porcelain smile Nick to with those photos?  Set up an Instagram account as a fictitious female in order to have lurid, erotic conversations with other men.  They call it 'catfishing.'  Seems like Nicky likes men to talk dirty to him.  Why is it these things crop up so often with Conservative Republicans?  One can only wonder if he was trying to follow in the foot steps of the Idiot Jerk in the White House.
Speaking of the Idiot Jerk, did everybody out there get their grocery shopping ID card?  I hope mine is in the mail, otherwise I'm going to starve.
An Navy friend of mine shared this on Facebook - it's nonpolitical, in case you're wondering.  For those who don't know, this is what we deal with on a daily basis.  Sometimes all you can do is just stand there.  On a few occasions, like the customer who wanted a waterproof extension cord to use in his pool, you wonder if you should call the EMT's now... or wait a bit.

The sun has just popped through the clouds so I'm going to quickly go outside and clean up the yard... dogs, you know.  I hate doing it in the rain.

Schmutz in the White House

For years I wore contacts rather than glasses.  They were okay.  The issues with my eyes precluded my using lenses I could pop in and forget.  Nope, for me it was a daily chore - until about 5 years ago when I decided wearing glasses was just not that bad.  Now, the only problem I have is dog schmutz.  You see, dogs don't really know what glasses are.  They will push their noses against them, lick them, paw them off your face... all sorts of things, all of which disrupt my field of vision.  The schmutz is a problem since I like to see clearly.  End result: I clean my glasses several times daily.
Of course, being able to see clearly can sometimes lead to frightening realizations.  Take the Idiot Jerk, for example.  While I can't say that he scares the shit out of me on a daily basis, thought it's close.  And the frequency of his actions seems to be on the increase.  This is to be expected in one who is so severely unbalanced.  His is an ego tottering along a thin line between sanity and insanity.  There are times when he doesn't concern himself with appropriateness, he just jumps into the crazy.
A possible meeting with Rouhani is nothing more than an ego snack.
Collusion is not a crime... well, no.  However when you aid and abet a foreign power trying to throw an election in your favor?  That's called treason.  Lock him up.
Allowing Jeff Sessions to begin building an army of Evangelical zealots?  He's going to give that phony Christian base anything they want.  If he loses them, he'll be in the clink in no time.
Saying the Koch brother (s) are dumb shits.  Well, they didn't bow down and kiss his ass.  In fact, they sort of sat out the 2016 election, fools that they are.  Now, they're talking about helping Democrats. 
Now, these moments happen regularly... maybe not daily... but with enough frequency to make sane Americans start to wonder if they, too, need to wipe the schmutz from their glasses.
