Bluntness

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

Relevance relies on Change

 Temps are  beginning to rise again.  We'll hit the upper 60s (F) today, lower 70s (F) tomorrow, and by Friday we'll be toasting in the upper 80s (F).   Nice, eh?

They've been pulling down all of the window air conditioning units at work, prepping for the demand those warmer temps is going to bring.  April is still too soon to turn on the Central Air, so I'll be relying on the ceiling fan in the bedroom if it gets too warm.  This is also the time of the year that I take the woolie blankets from the bed, wash them, and pack them away until the fall.  I always look forward to this time of year!

Yesterday I spent the day in the paint department.  Time went fast.  I mixed paint and down-stocked product.  The last hour I spent back in the flooring department checking the numbers I should have checked yesterday morning.  I did the get a measure, which was nice.  

For those interested, it's looking like I will begin the publishing process of The Body Under Ice next Thursday.  As such, I will begin to drop hints of the book cover.  What can I say but that I think it's one of the most striking covers so far, possibly almost visceral.  I like it.  Here's a backwards shot of it.  ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ˜Ž


And didn't it seem as though this past weekend was politically very quiet?  Perhaps because last week was filled with the Clarence Thomas bombs bursting in air all over the place, and the Tennessee Republicans kicking out 2 black Democrats, and the Trump judge in Texas trying to ban mifepristone.  Is it me, or does it seem that every time a Republican turns around he's getting smacked up the side of his head by a  2 X 4 of reality?  And the Cracker Jack Crazies are having the same problem.  Frankie Graham telling his base that he believes all buildings should be adorned with a Cross is... well, shall we say his comment smacks of religious authoritarianism.  He believes his beliefs are being attacked and that's simply wrong; their inability to evolve is simply making them less and less important to daily life.  Relevance relies on change, something he is incapable of doing.

  1. The next big thing will now be the abortion pill. If that passes...the GOP better look out. Ohhhhhh, that's right. I forgot.... when all the unwanted births take place, one can take them to DC and drop them off at the Congressional Building where they are sure to care for them financially, with love of course.

    Dems are going to have a hard time using the abortion card come election, for re-election, if more of this gets past or this FDA abortion nonsense passes. Roe Vs Wade should have been codified by Obama back then.

    1. Sorry, but the Democrats are going to take the abortion issue to the bank over, and over again.

    2. I agree they will, but it's like beating a dead horse...nothing gets done, even when we have the numbers.

  2. I think big pharma is gonna let the Repugs know who they are. It's a capitalist society after all..
    And I read one of the Dems in Tennessee was reinstated. Unanimously.
    And people should have listened to Anita...

    What is that on the table? Is it a lamp? It's FAB.

    1. You're correct about Big Pharma. And that's one of a set of Von Schierholtz candelabras.

  4. Every day the GOP proves how out of touch they are with the rest of the country, how racist they are, and how misogynistic and anti-LGBTQ+.
    Fuck 'em.
