Bluntness

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

The Salt of my Brow

 Well, Sunday has finally arrived.  The weather is supposed to be warm and humid with the possibility of a deluge.  I find that amusing: we used to just have severe storms or thunderstorms, now we have to contend with the regular deluge.  I don't know if the storms have truly changed that much, or if the weather forecasters have discovered an new word of the day.  Let's be honest here, deluge sounds more terrible than storm.  We do know how much they love to exemplify disasters in order to trend on social media.

I did get a measure yesterday.  That means I've met my measure goal for the week, however my sales are sitting $629.  Yep, that's it.  But then you have to remember that sales are down all over the place.  You can only take advantage of customers for so long, and they they simply stop buying.  Believe me, corporate can run as many gimmicks as they want, in the end most people are smart enough to know it's a gimmick.  Not all people, but most.

Normally, I don't wear caps, though I'll tug a knit hat down over my head in the winter to keep my ears warm.  However, and you should there's always a however, I do wear caps when I'm either on the bike or on the treadmill since I sweat a lot.  This is the salt of my brow on the treadmill cap.


George Will has an interesting opinion in the Washington Post this morning claiming neither Trump nor DeSantis will get the nomination.  Keep in mind, his wife is part of Tim Scott's campaign, one that will flail and then disappear.  I do, however, (there's however again), think his statement is correct.  Just who will get the Republican nomination?  I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't Chris Christie, mostly because he's doing the one thing no other GOP candidate is doing: attacking Trump.  There are a lot of Centrist and Left Leaning Republicans out there who are gleefully enjoying every barb Christie jams into the thin skinned Orange Anus.  I don't doubt that soon he'll start putting feathers on those barbs so they stand out even more.  And if you think he sharp now, wait until more indictments drop.  This is going to get so entertaining!

  1. You may be right about Christie because, out of that entire field of losers and traitors and bigots and no names, at least he's campaigning FOR the presidency not against the rest of the bunch.

    1. He also doesn't think he's going to win the nomination so he doesn't care about pissing of Trump and his Cult.

  2. I find the media makes a mountain out of a molehill on everything.

    1. Because they're all desperate to climb in the ratings.

  3. I don't think I'll ever sweat enough to do that to a cap - well not from effort anyway! And I think "they" are just upping the verbal ante so we believe climate change is going to kill us by Christmas and we'll all stop using our cars. Well everyone except the rich, that is! In the UK they're always talking about how "it's hotter today than in Barcelona" - usually for one day some time in February. Katie Hopkins (who I think is wonderful) did a great skit about how we're all going to frazzle - all the while she's standing outside in England in the pissing rain with her coat on in July!

    1. That level of perspiration is fairly standard for me.
