Bluntness

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

Hang this

Today is Thursday, my Mom gets inurned today.  We will all be glad when it will be over.  And we're under a snow warning....  One nice thing about Accuweather is they provide you with %'s of depth which gives you a more realistic idea as to how much snow / rain you're going to get.  The way things stand right now we have a 59% probability of getting 1"-3" of snow, however, we also have a 37% probability of getting .02" - 2" of snow.  This means, mathematically speaking, we'll get about 1.5 inches of snow sometime between this morning and this afternoon.  Oh, and because of that we are under a snow warning.  Maybe we should talk about this need by weather forecasters to over dramatize their predictions.  At least Accuweather isn't as bad as the Weather Channel.  They feel the need to name every little shitty storm that comes along.
The stock market didn't do so well yesterday.  Today is not going to be a good day either.  Theresa May's Brexit plan is in slow motion crash stage.  People are quitting her cabinet.  Her power base is dwindling.  As a result, the stock market is going to experience something a little more than a ripple.  This means the Idiot Jerk in the White House will blame Democrats, spineless sack of shit that he is.  Most of his base have yet to realize he is the punishment they so well deserve.
As I was sipping my morning coffee, I thought once again about France, and his decision not attend ceremonies.  He has claimed his Secret Service is to blame, that going to the cemetery in his helicopter was too dangerous.  So, in between sips of French Roast, I started thinking of how funny it would be if they did it on purpose in order to humiliate him?  To his face they were saying "don't go, don't go," but behind his back they were going "hehehehehehe."  I can see that happening.
And the Florida recount is a cluster fuck.  For those who are too young to remember, we ended up with George W. as president (another electoral college technicality) because of 'hanging chads."  Now, I know a lot of you are asking how Chad hangs, to the left, or to the right.  To be honest, I don't think it really matters.

Right hanger

  3. We mostly to get some sleep and rain. Because of what you mention about naming every storm with a few drops of percipatation....its enough to drive one mad....so I never listen to weather news for that matter.
