Bluntness

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

The Machine

 Well, the end of the work week has arrived for some, not for me, though since tomorrow I will be sitting behind the computer at the Flooring desk.  They're predicting showers.  Any rain would be helpful.  Right now I'm using my new hose and reel daily just to keep the flowers from drying out.  Temps are predicted to cool off as well.  Yesterday we topped off in the lower 90s (F) and we're supposed to repeat today.

With this heat, I'm still slowly digging out the remnants of my Burning Bush as well as several other assorted bushes that had taken root behind it.  The pile of dirt is growing.  Once I've removed the root structure to my satisfaction the dirt will fill the hole back up.

I was going to go for a ride yesterday afternoon and discovered the battery in my HRM had died.  Crap!  Rather than stop, I switched to my Garmin watch.  Crap!  My heart rate zoomed up to way over 150 for the first minute and then dropped down to 99, which was wrong.  This is one of my reasons why I don't track my performance with my watch.

And I went to the movies last night.  There were fire truck outside the theater when I got there, evidently one of their rooftop A/C units had blown.  As a result, we had a 20 minute delay before the film started.  On the plus side, we didn't  have to sit through the commercials, on the negative side, we didn't get to see any trailers.  On the big downside though was price of admission went up $2.00 for senior tickets.  This means I'm going to be skipping the beverage from now on.

As for the movie?  I went to see The Machine.  It was hysterical, definitely deserving it's R rating for both language and violence.  For those who need to see shirtless men, there were a lot of shirtless men.  It's also not for the squeamish, though the violence is more along the lines of John Wick, just bloodier.



As expected, the Debt Ceiling crisis has been abated.  Surprisingly, at least for me that is, both Manchin and Sinema voted for it.  Of course, after their overblown drama show, and their screams and rants, the Republicans lost bigly.  No one should be surprised.  They are now the losing team, and will be for some time to come.

And Ronnie D just can't seem to get away from his bad press.  This is to be expected from a short man with Napoleonic issues.  I know Maddie had been hoping for debates, but they ain't gonna happen.  Putting Ronnie D and Donnie T on a stage would only result in a word salad blood bath.  That might be entertaining, but I don't think the GOP is that stupid... at least I don't think they are.

  1. Ohhh
    The Machine has Mark Hamill and Bert in all his dadbod glory? Fun!
    And of course they 'avoided' the debt ceiling 'crisis'. And Uncle Joe ate their lunch. Not bad for an old, senile, non-president, non-teleprompter-reader, puppet. No?
    And have you SEEN Meatball Ron trying to be relatable? Goddess. Is he incapable of human emotions?

    XOXO

    1. Ronnie D is a tool of the ultra conservatives. The fisticuffs between he and Donnie T will beat his party to a bloody pulp.

  4. Well you know me I love the Heat!!!

    I also noticed concessions were made to the conservative democrats like Manchin. The deal included a surprise approval of a natural gas pipeline which was championed by Manchin!!!! Yet no concession to progressive dem senators. Oops....I forgot there are no progressive senators. They need to stop patronizing him and start supporting his "democratic" opponents.

    1. Remember, the country is Centrist, not Progressive, the more the more Progressives push, the more pushback their going to get. Conservatives thought their shit didn't stink and now they're involved in shit shows all over the place.

    1. It is quite violent at times, and I was surprised by the amount of gore, still, I had a good laugh.
