Bluntness

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

Disney Delivers

 Holy Crap!  I cannot believe it's Thursday already!  I'm off today.  Normally I work Thursdays but our scheduling system looks at the total hours I'm available to work and would rather have me sitting at the flooring desk on weekend when we do our most business.  By contrast, next week they have me scheduled for 27 hours.

The temps yesterday got up into the mid 60s (F) here.  It was nice.  Then, last night around 11 PM a cold front came through, lots of wind, some rain, and a drop in temps.  Today we will barely climb into the low 50s (F).

I went to see John Wick, Chapter 4 last evening.  If it hadn't been so long, I would have liked it a lot more than I did.  However, the movie was over 2 hours and 49 minutes long.  You can only laugh at the over-the-top violence and they can be quite entertaining, but a 15 minute actions scene circling the Arc de Triomphe was way too long, as was the 20 minute sequence on the stairs leading up to Sacre Coeur.  The only sequence which actually stood out was one with the camera looking down and moving across multiple rooms in a villa.  That was actually ingenious.


The NYC Grand Jury is on vacation for a month.  Gee, even I don't get a month long vacation.

I got a big chuckle when I found that Ronnie DeSantis best laid plans to force Disney into a tightly fitting conservative box have failed.  Ronnie's appointees are fuming that unbeknownst to them, the previous board of directs pass rules that will tie the current board's hands for the next 30 years.  Ronnie D is now looking like the bumble, bumble he really is and will never be anything more than Meatball Ron.

One thing I don't find surprising is that 38% of Americans want Trump to have a 2nd term.  They are the MAGA brains, and old Tea Party Republicans who think the world will only be right when they can permanently say "shut up, we're in charge."  They are the MTGs of the party who will never understand the harsh reality that a majority of Americans think they're human failures.  In their minds, their only option is to be louder, and more aggressively stupid.  They don't understand that this works against them.

  1. Somewhere in Central Florida a Mouse is having quite the laugh.

  2. The old saying in Florida is, don’t F**k with The Mouse. Guess Bubba Dee never heard that before.

    1. Meatball Ron's going to learn... well, maybe not.

  3. I cackled when I read that Disney told Meatball Ron: 'NO'. You don't mess with the Mouse's lawyers. They are legion.
    I wanna see John Wick. I have really liked the series and I love Keanu. Maybe this weekend.
    And the Grand Jury on vacay? They are making Mango Mussolini look bad. Worse.

    XOXO

    1. I understand Ronnie's appointees are furious. Keanu has grown up to be a very nice man.

  4. I have a hard time sitting to watch a one hour film let alone a three hour film. The Irishman was the longest I've watched in ages and that was over a few nights. That would be a definite nope from me!

    1. The only time I have a problem is when I drink a beverage before hand, so I usually abstain from everything, including water.

  5. I also thought John Wick 4 could have tightened up a bit but I still enjoyed the ride. I will gladly trade weather with you. We woke up to a few inches of snow today and it has been raining all day. Winter is drunk and will not go home.

    1. Yeah, they could have trimed 30 minutes off of the sucker and no one would have noticed.

  6. 38%. It's dropped since the last number. I guess even some of the losers jumped ship. LOL
