Bluntness

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

Tailgate Party, anyone?

 The sun is out!  Well, on and off, so I suppose you'd say we have semi-partial sunshine.  There's also a lot of fog, thick, like you see in the movies when needs to hide in it.  Temps today are only going to climb into the low 50s (F), but the flood warnings will now end tomorrow rather than on Saturday.

And I did get water in my basement again.  Not much.  Not deep enough to float things, and it's pretty much all drained out, leaving large patches where the floor is now dry.  

I'd had a bag of very old grass seed that I spread across the bare patches in my lawn hoping it would grow.  Well, that didn't happen.  Too old.  So this morning I'll drive over to the store and pick up another bag, something that's dog friendly for when the next beastie arrives.  Don't ask me what breed yet, I haven't made up my mind (many are tossing out suggestions).  Boxers are out.  I don't have any luck with them.  Though the Von Trapp Family Boxers will remain in the books. 

My brother leaves for Scotland today.  He and his wife are very excited.  This will be their first adventure in Europe.  I told him not to drink too much Scotch.  Though, if he wants, he can bring me back a big hunk of smoked salmon; one of my favorites.

I'm sure most of you have heard about the picture the Moral Degenerate posted on his Truth Social account with Biden in the back the a pickup truck.  Well, Occupy Democrats have their own version.  I don't think they'd have much of a problem if this was copied and posted across social media.


One of things I do wish media outlets would stop doing is listing polls.  We all know their fake, yet we are bombarded daily with results that are derived from a small number of people who keep their beliefs and feelings as secret as the ballots we love in this country.  During this primary season, a better gauge as to how America feels about our presidential candidates is to look at the voting trends.  For example, if Biden wins 89% of the vote in a Red State, that's good.  However, Trump wins 56% in a Red State, and 20% of the registered Republican voters cast their ballots for Nikki Haley, that's not good for Trump.  I'm sure the fact that in these Red States DeSantis, Rammiswammy (sp), and Haley are all taking votes from the Orange Anus should be extremely troubling for the Republican party.  These are the essential voters they need.  Without them, there is no victory dance, not that there ever was going to be one.

  1. I found hilarious the news about the OA’s magical, record breaking campaign contributions last month (published only after Pres Biden’s numbers). $60+ million, ha. The polls still worry me.

    1. You'll notice how many of the media outlets failed to mention his campaign haul, probably because of his constant lack of veracity.

  2. Oh no!
    A flooded basement is my nightmare. Was it the rains?
    And I've followed your advice and stopped paying attention to polls (Nate Silver is dead to me, too!). It's all just clickbait and fuckery.

    XOXO

    1. It wasn't much, and inch deep in some places, others stayed dry. Pollsters are about as accurate as fortune tellers, however that doesn't stop people from believing in them.

  3. I have NEVER been polled.
    So who are the people in these polls and where do they live?

  4. Might I suggest a basset hound? And I agree with you about the polls. They are used to drive agendas and scare folks.

  5. I hope your brother has halfway decent weather in Scotland (good weather would be too much to ask for)!
