Bluntness

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

E Ticket Ride

Saturday... Kid's Workshop... and I'm not working.  Now, isn't that a really good reason to celebrate?  The temps are forecast to go up into mid to upper 50's (F), unusually warm for January.  According to Accuweather, the warm winter temps will continue for the next 2 weeks.  While these temps will reduce my heating bill, they are a precursor, a terrible tease as to what climate change may bring to the region.  Central PA may end up turning into a tropical rain forest.
The first draft of "The Body in the Well" has been completed.  Right now it sits at 93,357 words.  Now the editing starts.  I was asked by one of my readers if he was going to find it riveting.  I told him I was aiming more for an E ticket ride at Disneyland.  Of course, I had to explain myself.
And by now, everyone knows the Idiot Jerk in the White House approved the assassination of very high ranked Iranian general.  His action teeters both the US and the mid-east into an all out war.  One of the women at work said "he did in order to get himself re-elected," the belief being we're not going to change presidents in the middle of a war.  Can you think of anything sounding more logical to a Republican?  Start a war to stay in power.  They have always been callously inconsiderate of human life that isn't white and American.  Their base revels in this, believing it demonstrates their superiority.  Every day they reveal more of their ugliness.
On a brighter note:  Here are Biggie and Lily with their T-Rex.


It doesn't squeak too much, does it?

    1. No, they're not.

      So, you've gotten to the house on Duck Street.

  2. I guess it's easy to start a war when you've got "bone spurs" and you're not the one going (nor your kids)!

    1. Republicans have always failed to grasp their own inabilities.

  3. I had joked that there is only one year left and hopefully he doesn't start a war, never thinking that he actually might. In the dumpy universe however war is the one word that overtakes the word impeachment.

    1. That works only if the country is behind you and if American soldiers start dying this will grow very unpopular very fast.
