Bluntness

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

If it's Tuesday, this must be my first day off

 Tuesday has arrived and it is sunny, again, just like yesterday and just like tomorrow is going to be. Our forecast isn't changing for the next week or so.  Well, that's not quite right, temps are predicted to slowly rise.  Occasional showers are expected next week, though I'm suspecting that will change.  California is experiencing torrential rains, and they always move east.

Today is going to be an odd day.  UGI (my natural gas supplier) has someone stopping by to check out my gas lines and my meter.  They do this every 2 or 3 years because gas is explosive, and it will kill you if you breath too much of it.  Because all they give me is a window (1200 - 1600), I can't really make any plans.  I don't want to be on the bike, or the treadmill, or be rowing, and have to stop and wait for this guy to tramp down into my basement.

I started watching Feud: Capote vs The Swans last evening, and I was reminded just how much I really disliked him when he was alive.  A lot of people liked his petulance and pretentiousness, but not me.  That being said, I did enjoy the first episode, mostly because I know that his Swans are going to put him through the ringer he so much deserved.  


And of course Main Stream media is talking about the Border legislation that gives the Republicans just about everything they want and how Trump has decided to destroy it because he feels it will make Biden look strong.  Can you hear me laughing.  This sort of tactic works best when it's done in back rooms and out of the public eye.  The mere fact that so many people are reporting this, including Fox, defeats their purpose.  This is just one more pile of shit they should have tried to skirt.  Instead, they jumping right in, probably to see how far they can make it splatter.  

Today is also the day when the Republicans with their miniscule majority are going to try and vote to impeach Mayorkas because of the border crisis they need to keep in chaos.  They need to try and keep at least one iron in the fire.  Oh, wait!  Sudden news Flash!  The GOP has already lost their 2nd vote to impeach him.  Oh, Shit!  Instead of understanding how badly they are making themselves look to Independent voters, they will continue to kick this dead horse because that's the only thing they have to give to their base.

  1. Oh, they are saying the quiet part out loud now but it's always party before country for the Repugs, so no news there. They will vote for Cheeto.
    The Repugs will keep screaming about 'the border' until they're blue in the face. It's all they have.
    And there are problems in paradise with the Mayorkas vote? Thoughts and prayers.

    XOXO

    1. By failing to impeach Mayorkas, they're pretty much admitting this is nothing more than smoke they're trying to blow up America's ass.

  4. My former FIL worked for People's Natural Gas and knew every square foot of his patch by heart. He used to laugh at me when he asked if I knew "Mrs. Cratchet out at Entlow" and I'd tell him I had a hard enough time putting Pennsylvania on the map!

    1. I checked, Entlow isn't really a town, but rather a census designated area where enough people live that it needs a zip code. We have one north of us called Etters, which is a community located around a convenience store. Finding PA on a map is easy, just remember that we are the Keystone State.😎

  5. Oh I can find PA on a map (now that I no longer live there) but do you know Mrs. Cratchet?
