Bluntness

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

Bad Editing

 When the alarm went off this morning the temp was 49 (F) outside.  That's the chilliest it's been so far.  The high today is supposed to be in the low 70s (F), with rain in the forecast for tonight.  Tomorrow things are predicted to warm up.

Blogger has evidently gone through some sort of update.  Even though I'm signed in, and am writing today's entry, it still wants me to tell list me as Anonymous.  This is like those updates we have to deal with at work.  They're always a surprise.  No warning, just new screens that work differently, or have disappeared completely.  One of our Customer Order Specialists said we just need to play around with them to see how they work; she likes to think she's authoritatively smart.  She isn't.  Playing around with screens is extremely difficult when you have a customer sitting there waiting to pay for a $5000 blind installation.

One of the things I've been talking to my religious friends about is the Great De-Churching.  Knowing that I need to have my game up, I've done a lot of research and in doing so, I've found this website where mainline Christians are attempt to deal with the transformation, at least that's what they call it.  The size of congregations has dropped drastically over the past 2 decades (what they call the transformation) and they can't get a handle on why this is happening.  I've told my friends this is because Christians are relying on a document that declared divine in 476, and it is badly edited.  It never occurred to them that Christianity my be a work in progress whose ending was eons in the future.  These people don't seem to understand that given the chance, mankind will push his fingers into everything he possibly can.

Here's a picture of Lily on the porch.


For those who didn't see, Ken Paxton, the AG from Texas was acquitted yesterday.  Horseshit.  Corruption in the Republican party has never been this bad.  When I saw the headline, I will admit to being a little surprised, but then I reminded myself that a Republican state Senate was never going to convict a loyal Republican Trumpist.  They have no idea how much damage they are doing to their Brand, which is good for Democrats.

    1. No one should been surprised. Fascists of a feather stick together.

  2. Great snap of Lily. I was shocked at the acquittal but only for a few seconds. The corruption of the Repugs has no end. I worry about 2024 elections though. Politics is such a mess and the Dems should’ve been campaigning for months now. Kamala is invisible. We rarely hear about Pete. The Bobert drama was comic relief.

    1. We have heard from them because Trump and his many indictments are taking up all of the airwaves.

  3. Also, blogger continues to be annoying for users too. I’m back to clicking “Publish” a minimum of 4 times before it works. The first 3-4 times an error msg displays. Changing apps at work without telling employees is bad practice.

    1. One of my managers is going to a training seminar in a few weeks, a few weeks too late.

  4. I hate all the updates too. It takes time to get used to the new screens and like you say, when you've got someone wanting to hand over a cheque for $5,000 you don't need to be wasting time!

    1. And that person who is sitting there waiting to hand you money is thinking, "my, this company's disorganized, should I actually have them do my install."
