Worst Case Scenario

 We have Sunshine!

Out in my backyard, the temp is 48 (F), and it going to get warmer, up into the upper 50s (F) to low 60s (F).  I don't mind this.  That being said, the cold doesn't really bother me either, though this past winter was anything but cold.  I've heard last month was the warmest February on record.  That doesn't surprise me either.  What makes me laugh is those numbnuts who will tell you "they've only been keeping records for 250 years, so this past winter is not a precursor  of Global Warming."  I actually work with someone like this... 

I got a row in yesterday, 20 minutes, over 3000 meters.  I liked the row, I didn't like the video which was filmed by someone rowing through a wealthy community in Florida, where every house had a boat dock.  I couldn't help but think that these people earn way too much money.  But then, this is Florida, the home white booted Ronnie DeSantis, where the state legislature is pushing through bill that will decrease what employers need to do for employees during periods of high heat.  I've been to Florida, in the summer, when the temps easily top 100 (F), and the Republican politicians are more concerned about cutting business expenses and growing profits than they are with humans working in high heat environments.

Remember Ronnie D?  Here's a snap in case you forgot.

And Nikki's no longer running for president.  Honestly, I'm not surprised, campaigns cost money and many of her backers started pulling funds.  The bit that Republicans would like to bury is that she was quite successful in illustrating to American how many Republicans are dissatisfied the current party and it's presumed candidate.  Even though she lost almost every primary, she easily syphoned off 33% to 37% of Republican voters.  Republicans are also desperately telling themselves that in the General Election those voters will come back and vote for Trump.  I don't know about you, but I find it fascinating to see how easy it is for some people to blow smoke up their own ass.  Those voters may not like Joe Biden, but that doesn't count, what does is the fact that they see a Donald Trump presidency as a worst case scenario for the nation.  They see the lies, the deceit, and the corruption, and, as a result, are going to sit this election out.

The State of the Union speech is tonight.  Unfortunately, I'll be at the movies.
