Bluntness

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

Santa's on his way

Good Morning!  Biggie's at the Vet.  I was telling everybody his appointment was for Wednesday - well, I was wrong.  This is why I put everything in my calendar.  Sometimes things stick in our minds of which we are so very certain and turn out to be incorrect.  Why did Wednesday stick in my head?  Was I thinking of the Netflix series (which is pretty good), or was the first date the Vet suggested Wednesday, tomorrow?  I'm thinking that's probably the case.  Of course, there I go thinking again.

Work was very slow yesterday.  We're down in measures and sales.  Seriously, when I look at sales for the district, the numbers are almost spot on with our sales pre-pandemic.  That's a reality many corporations don't want to deal with.

The garbage men took my old garbage can.  I had just gotten home from dropping Biggie off, when they drove my my house.  No problem.  It was very old.  The bottom had large holes in it.  One of the wheels had fallen off so it no longer rolled.  I got my money's worth out of that purchase, since it survived over 14 years.

There's big storm a brewing!  It's supposed to begin on Thursday in the Midwest and move east.  This little map looks bad.  According to this I should hit the liquor store prior to getting screwed.  Accuweather says we're going to be getting mixed precipitation on Thursday, snow to rain on Friday, and then the temperature is predicted to crash on Christmas eve, with the high only reaching up into the mid 20s (F).  I think I'll play it safe and pick up a bottle of wine. 


For those who don't Tweet:  Elon lost his poll and decided to change the rules.  If you want to vote in one of his Twitter polls now, you need to purchase and $8 monthly subscription.  Some will pay, I will not.  I'm on Post, signing up for Mastodon, and already on Tribal.  Of the 3, I suspect Post will become the most popular, except for MAGA bots.

And, of course the celebrating has just begun.  As everyone knows by now, the January 6 committee has recommended the DOJ indict the Orange Anus on 4 different charges.  The BBC has a nice take on the matter, but then so does everyone else.  It will be interesting to see how the effect the Republican party, especially in the House of Representatives where the American Freedom Caucus worships the shit beneath his feet.  Social Conservatives who believed they were going to declare holy war on America are now embattled in war with each other.  And as for the Evangelicals, their holy grail has sprung a leak.  What will the DOJ do?  Indictments will follow more rapid than eagles, and as leaves that before the wild hurricane fly when they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky. Santa's on his way.

  1. Oh, it's gonna be cold.
    They're forecasting like ten inches here. Which is fun, but not when it's snow. And Elon is like the bully who changes the rules of the game he invented when he's losing. Fitting.
    As for Mango Mussolini? Yes! You were right and it was worth waiting for the results of the committee. Now, on to the indictment.

    XOXO

    1. Ten inches of snow is fun!!. Tesla stock, which was way over priced, is dropping like a rock and everyone's blaming Elon, and that's fun, too!!

  2. I’m in Tennessee. Supposed to be brutally cold here too. Guess I should ‘hit the liquor store’ LOL. I’ve signed up for Post and have already set up an account on Mastodon. I don’t do much on social media but I do read a lot on there. I have never commented on your blog, but I do read it EVERY day for ages. So would love to know how to find you on Post and Mastodon. I was elated that they referred Rump and associates to the DOJ. Doubt they will do anything about it but was still so happy that happened. Happy Holidays!

  3. It's going to be terribly cold here in South Carolina over Christmas. Lows down around 18 degrees are almost unheard of for us! And highs only up around freezing. I like it when it's cold at Christmas, so I won't be complaining!

  4. I always hit the liquor store before getting screwed. That's for the storm I will believe it when I see it. Every time they talk it up it peters out. But if we do get it I won't mind.

    1. Yeah, I'm kind of iffy on the storm as well, still, that doesn't mean I'm not going to buy myself a bottle of wine.
