Bluntness

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

A little head?

Today is Super Bowl Sunday - I only work until 4:30, so I'll be home, but... I won't watch.  Duh.
I got a call from the delivery people while at work yesterday.  Wednesday's the day for delivery.  They will call me Monday or Tuesday with a 3 hour window.  I'm off.  The temperature is supposed to be in the mid 40's (F)... what could be better?
This guy named Northam, the governor of Virginia may (or may not have, depending upon which of his stories you want to believe) while back in college.  Was that him in the picture?  Maybe.  Was it a stupid thing to do?  Definitely.  Are we going to publicly punish every one of those students in that yearbook?  Nope.  Except for Northam, they're all going to go about their happy, happy ways.  You can bet some of those students matured into very conservative Republicans, Northam, on the other hand, liberalized his views and became a Democrat.  A lot of Democrats say he should resign.  A lot Republicans are saying the same thing, not because they find his prank racist, but rather because they want to stake a Democratic Governor.  He says he's not going to.  Me?  I say we should let the people of Virginia decide.  Democracy is for the people and by the people.  In the next election the voters of Virginia will decide if he's racist or not.  They will look as his record.  Is it Liberal or Conservative?  Has he been a good Democrat?  The calls for him to resign are well taken, they show we hold our own accountable, unlike those Republicans who voted for Kavanaugh.  At the end of the day, however, we need to let the Virginians choose.  It's their right as Americans.
The AI on my Galaxy 8 is acting up.  Yesterday, as my alarm was going off, Bixby said "today's going to be a good day for a picnic."  The sun did come out, but the temp only made it up to 33 (F).  This morning Bixby said "today's going to be cool and cloudy," and the temp's are supposed to go up to 44 (F).  Oops.
The other day, as I was laying in bed, Seig rested his head upon my chest.  For those who don't understand... this is not a little head.

  1. looks like a large brown rock. there's a reason he's called "biggie". and bixby is fulla shit!

    question - some of the events you described in your first book, were they based on real life experiences, or were they made up? like falling off the bike and having to limp home?

    1. Never crashed, never had a flat tire... now both will happen. I have come down a hill at over 40 mph wearing my riding shorts and a T-shirt... what a fucking rush!!

  2. In Virginia, a governor can only serve one consecutive 4-year term. It is sad what has happened, and he did something really stupid. Should he resign? I am not sure. Our LT. Governor is African-American, so we'll see what happens.

    1. Many of us have done stupid stuff, we just don't brag about it in our college yearbook. That's a painful lesson to learn this late in life.

  3. You and Big Seig look comfy though.

    As for Northam, first he apologizes and then he says he doesn't think it was him? That's a stretch.

    1. If his story hadn't kept changing. His inability to tell the truth is what's damning.

  4. I think liberals need to hold own accountable. Not over ridiculous things (like with Al Franken) but with anything we would be outraged over if someone with an "R" by their name did it. The thing that sickens most about Republicans is their utter and never failing hypocrisy. If Obama had done a tiny bit of the things 45 has done they would have burned this country to the ground by now. So I won't be a hypocrite myself if I can help it.

    1. You're right, of course. We always take the high road. That's something America can count on.

  5. When Buster does that on my chest, that is the ultimate dog person bond if you ask me. That's adorable. Wait, there's a game on?

    1. Lily does it too. When she does it, she leans into me.

      Yeah, a game! Someone said they call it the Super Bowl.

  6. That title got me all like ‘what’s going on? Party?’ And then I read on. So football is back? I only watch for the tight pants.
    That doggie looks awfully comfy. And Northam should face the music. Yes, he ‘evolved’. But still. Dems should demonstrate they’re NOT like the repugs.
    And yay for your desk! 😎. So next week we get pics?

    XoXo
