Bluntness

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

Tis the season of indictments

 So, when I checked the weather on my phone this morning there was a notification that "snow will stop in 20 minutes."  Looking out the window I saw no snow.   Curious, I checked the regional map and sure enough, Central PA was covered by a light blue cloud of snow.  Still, we were flakeless.  Honestly, it would be nice to have a little, just enough to use my snow shovel at least one time.

Those who read my books will know that one of my protagonists, Max Sullivan, started out as a nurse working for the #1 heart team in Old Towne.  Not knowing anything about cardiologists and heart teams, in the 3rd book I had him change careers, becoming a Physical Therapist (I've had PT) and actually got a scathing review telling me no cardiologist would ever do such a thing, even though I'd never said he was one.  For 3 books there's been only passing mentions of his new career.  That may change.  Max may become more 3 dimensional.  One of our new associates is not only a physical therapist, he attending a local university to get his doctorate.  I'm planning on having a conversation with him to see if he'll let me pick his brain.

I have this unusual feeling that this Sunday's Oscar ceremony may be one of the most watched in a long time.  Not because a lot of blockbusters have been nominated.  I suspect people will be tuning in because the nominations this year are filled with diversity.  I know I'll be watching for a number of reasons, one of which is I want to see them do Naatu Naatu live!  Just thinking about it makes me laugh.  What a great song!


For some odd reason, Twitter seems to have decide to add the crazy voices of Elise Stefanik, and Kev McCarthy, Tim Scott, and Casey DeSanits to my feed.  Even though some of them have been muted, they still show up regularly.  I don't doubt this is the result of a billionaire decision.  Rather than waste time calling these people out for their lies, so many others are already doing that, I'm simply muting them again.  The fewer people who see their Tweets, the weaker they become.

And it looks like we might finally be heading into indictment season, someone noted that it usually runs from March to June.  As I've noted before, once they begin to fall, Trump's base is going to unite around him.  They will become more aggressive.  Their lies will not only increase, but become more outlandish.  They will begin to attack every Republican who doesn't bow down to him.  They will become uglier and possibly violent.  While they do this, more and more Americans are going to see them for the evil they represent.  The death of the Republican party is not going to be quiet.

  1. Naatu Naatu...how much fun was that. I was not going to watch the Oscars but will just for that.

    As for the GOP and pretty much all Repugnacans...well I have stopped even listening/reading them. I can not tell you how much calmer and peaceful my life has been since. Your blog keeps me up to date enough to know I made the right decision.

    1. I'm sure the dancers and singer are rehearsing none stop for that performance.

      Honestly, I'm so amazed by the sheer stupidity of some Republicans, I'd be surprised if they remember to wipe their ass half of the time.

  2. If CPAC attendance is any indication his base is shrinking. They're still just as loud, but many have moved on.

    1. It's not only his base, it's the entire party, and their attempts to increase their numbers has them moving farther and farther out into Right Field.

  3. One of your associates is a physical therapist? Did he/she quit as PT? I'm looking forward to meeting Max though!

    1. No, he only works at the store part-time, he's going to grad school for his Doctorate in PT.
