Bluntness

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

The 2nd amendment

 So, the Memorial Day weekend is over.  Our garden department was busy.  That didn't mean we didn't have customers in the flooring department.  Surprisingly, I can't remember a single person asking me "what's on sale?"  2 of my installs sold.  That puts me at my sales goal for the week.   There was a cookout for the associates, I had a burger and a hot dog, some macaroni salad (I love pasta dishes), and ended up with terrible indigestion.   I do believe my grazing days are coming to an end.  That's fine.

I'm not scheduled to work for the next 4 days.  Plans are in the works.  Nothing extravagant.  I want to drive down to That Fish Place to get some snails and plants for the new tank.  The snails will help with the algae problem.  I'd like to get away from scraping down the sides every 3 days.

There are Spotted Lantern fly nymphs on my roses.  Not a good thing.  An unwelcome pest from South Korea, these pests are tree killers.  I'm going to try the non-pesticide route.  I will let you know if my concoction works.  


You know how the gun nuts run around shrieking a shortened variation of the last 14 words of the 2nd amendment, "the right to bear arms?"  Well, I do believe the time has come to begin shoving the first half of the amendment down their throats.  The time for cherry picking the definition they desperately want needs to end now.  For those who've never read the 2nd amendment, and a large majority of Americans haven't, the first half talks about a well-regulated militia.  However, the well-regulated bit hands the gun lovers a plate of shit, so they always ignore that.  Here is what the 2nd amendment to the Constitution says:

  1. As much as I agree with you about gun regulation I honestly can't see that anything will be done about it. I mean, when you've got kids being shot in school what more needs to happen before they start getting reined in? Oh but if you need some snails - I have a few kilos of the buggers I could ship to you - all getting fat on my veggie plants!

    1. We have to start somewhere, otherwise it will continue to get worse and the violence will continue. Thanks for the offer, I doubt very much if they would survive the trip.

  3. You can't explain anything to them, cuz all it boils down to in their pea brains is, "Ma, they're a'comin' fer our guns!"

  4. You know ammosexuals will NEVER compromise about gun reform. They scream at anything that needs to be done to regulate the fuckery that is the gun business in the United States. And they choose NOT to understand what the second amendment says. It's like the bible. They've been picking and choosing for years. They're not gonna stop now.
    And let us know about that bug!

    XOXO

    1. Actually, they're a lot like Republicans, they can put on a pretty face like Madison Cawthorn, but they're really shitters inside.
