Bluntness

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

Tick, Tick, Tick

 Can we talk about personal accomplishments?  Jeez!  Yesterday was:  aquarium? (check), laundry? (check), bike ride? (check), groceries? (check) dog walk? (check), bike ride? (check), haircut? (check). 

 About the bike ride?  A really super great improvement Garmin has initiated in their Tacx software is the ability for you to create your own route.  That's right.  Now you can break up a 40 mile ride into what ever lengths you want.  The video starts where you want it to start, and ends where you want it to end.  Now you can create fresh, new rides where ever you want!  

As for The Body in the Loch?  I'm rapidly approaching the denouement, a little chapter called 'All Knives Can Kill.'  

And, of course, I do have to go back to work today.  Can you feel my excitement?  These are the doldrum weeks, those days when you decide to take a vacation because there are better things to do then sit at a flooring desk.  The aisles are fairly empty and the slow ticking of boring seconds can be a monumental weight.  True, there are worse things then being bored, but reminding yourself of this fact while you're checking the time every three minutes as you wait for your shift to end is always difficult in what seems to be one of the most difficult times of your life.  Will it ever end?


There is also what seems to be the eternal wait until the Congressional vote tomorrow brings some finality to the 2020 election.  I have to remind you that does not mean this is going to end.  Sometimes putting the final nail in the coffin is just not enough.  We will still have to deal with the zombies for some time to come...


though I wouldn't be surprised if quite a few of them attempt to follow him as he relocates to... well, right now Scotland seems to be his point of entry into Europe. Don't expect him to stay there.  Damn, those men in kilts will stomp his wannabe tinfoil dictator's ass into smithereens.

  1. Yay for you!
    And haircut and all, huh? Nice.
    It seems your new toy is working well. You should know that many, many people have started working out at home. Bet those treadmills and ellipticals and stationary bikes are coming handy.
    And there's gonna be shenanigans today in Georgia and tomorrow in DC. Ugh.
    I despise Cheeto and his minions soooo much!
    I hope he's vanished to the Tundra. At least that way he'll be closer to Vlad.

    XOXO

    1. Exercise equipment has become very popular. And the tundra is too nice, maybe his blow bro Vlad has a nice comfortable gulag he can retire to.

    1. He will still be president so I think that will preclude lockdown rules, besides I think this is just going to be a jumping off point for him

  3. The man has completely lost his mind. I think he needs to be committed.

    1. I don't think there's an asylum in the US that will take him.

  4. You certainly accomplish a lot more than me on your days off! Whew! Since I've been at home for 3 weeks now and now working from home for the next couple (at least) I feel like all I ever do is cook, load the dishwasher, unload the dishwasher, shop, wash rinse repeat....Oh, and the occasional load of laundry.

    One thing I have accomplished is doubling the distance I walk every day. I'm looking to improve my eating habits and exercise more this year. Oh, and drink less. I've been doing too much drinking since the pandemic started, mostly out of boredom. So I'm having a "dry January" this month. Except for the 20th, when I plan to get drunk and go outside and dance in the street. I've been promising myself I'd do that when 45 left the White House for 4 long years now!

  5. I used to hate not having enough to do at work. Give me overload any day! Maybe they will stone Trump to death with haggis if he lands in Scotland (although frankly that'd be a waste of good haggis)!

    1. Evidently Scotland's out. They don't want him... Covid lockdown is keeping him out.

  6. All this going on is just the dress rehearsal. The dump just a long line of evils....if this whole process happens again they will win and democracy will be just another thing in history. Democrats need to say on the ball for some time to come.
