Bluntness

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

Good Riddance

 Hello Monday!  It was cold this morning.  According to Accuweather the temp was 29 (F) outside, that'll Definity put frost on the pumpkins.  Afternoon temps, however, are again predicted to climb up into the mid 50s (F).  One of these days I'll have to check out UGI (my natural gas company) to see how much money these warm temps are saving me.  You won't find me complaining, as long as hot temps during the summer don't offset my winter's savings.  This past summer we missed much of the heat and it did wonders for my electric bill.

The retail world was slow yesterday.  

I'm off today.  Usually Mondays are work days, but I requested off, firstly for a physical, but then that got cancelled because my countertop was scheduled to be installed today, but then they installed it a week earlier because...?  Maybe because it wasn't a difficult installation?  The installers were only here for bit over an hour.  One thing they did that I truly appreciated was take the old countertop away.  There was supposed to be a charge for that, but I was told not to worry about it as one of the men carried it out of the front door.

Another expense was added to my debt, a new TV.  My old Sonia Bravia was over 7 years old (really 8 because it was a 2015 model I bouth 10/23/2016).  Turning it on it meant a 2 minute wait just to load all of the tiles on the main screen.  Two years ago, my Disney subscription needed to do an upgrade the TV could barely handle (I had to clean out the cache, and 2 other files).  It happened again last week with Paramount +, it wouldn't download and upgrade.  So, tomorrow, a new LG C3 arrives.  It seems as though everything I have is beginning to break down due to old age.  Rats!

I'm going to be planting milkweed!  It's a great plant for pollinators and Monarch butterflies! It's going to be replacing the Burning Bush that was in front of my porch.


And for those who haven't seen the news, Timmy Scott is ending his campaign to be president.  Tim should have looked around at the other candidates.  He's the wrong color.  Republicans only want white men for candidates.  That's why Haley and Ramaswamy will also, eventually, drop out.  

And here's a bit to make you laugh.  Ronna McDaniel, head of the RNC, has said that even if Trump is found guilty, Republicans will stand behind him.  That's right, Republicans would rather commit political suicide than offend a single member of the Trump Cult.  Yep, they would rather drink the Kool-Aid than admit he is pure evil.  These people will never look the truth in the eye, that would mean admitting they'd sold their souls years ago for the promise of money and power.  Good Riddance, Republicans.

  1. Well, now Timmy's "girlfriend" can go back home.

    If a party wants to stand behind a criminal in jail then that speaks volumes. They are actually the Fuck Law & Order Party.

  2. OMG Yes!
    Milkweed is fantastic! I have a whole section in my little garden planted with it. It's a perennial and you're helping the ecosystem. Love the idea.
    And I pity Tim's Canadian girlfriend. She's going to collect only one or two checks for bearding him. No benefits.
    Ronna Romney is another See You Next Tuesday.

    XOXO

    1. I also don't rake my leaves to the curb because I'm such an eco friendly sort of guy.

    2. SAME!
      OMG Dave. It's such a waste of time (and good ground preparation) to blow everything and then... dump it in plastic bags. What's the USE?

      XOXO

  3. I appreciate it so much when workmen take the old stuff away with them. It's usually no big deal to them but is so, so helpful to little ol' me!

    1. I was surprised because there was supposed to be a charge, maybe because it was an easy install.
