Bluntness

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

Anchor This

Yesterday was warm, low 90s (F).  Today's predicted to be warmer, mid 90s (F), with a high expected to be 95 (F).  A reminder:  we are in summer and the season is notoriously known for hot temps.  Of course, I'm in Central PA, not down in Texas, or along the Gulf Coast where the temps will be bordering on Hellish.  

Yesterday was also a high Carb day, not that it took me completely by surprise.  I had lunch with my cousin and her husband, a heavy lunch.  For me that's never a good thing because one good thing leads to another, and then to too much and I ended up eating ice cream and a number of little cakey things, like brownies, only made with graham crackers.  Then I turned into a slug for the rest of the night.  I did not step on the scale this morning.

And for those who read my books, I have some bad news... well, not for the readers, but for Bobby Tussel, the ex-Baltimore police officer with a bullet in his brain.  He will be quite disheartened to hear that Anchor beer is going out of business.  How will he get by without any warm Anchor beer?  I understand the brewery and recipes are up for sale.

And can we just talk a bit about the hilarity of the Republican party?  Keep in mind that the GOP is absolutely nothing without a dead horse to kick.  For years it was Hillary.  Just the name Clinton would set them off in a kicking frenzy.  Well, that's changed.  Now they have Hunter Biden.  Oh, and they have his laptop which seems to contain nothing but pictures which have absolutely nothing to do with Burisma.  Besides the laptop, there are purported deals with China, and cocaine use (he's been to rehab).  They have whistleblowers who've been bought, and Gal Luft, a super witness who was going to blow the roof off of the Hunter Biden scandal, until America found out that Luft was indicted last November, and is a Chinese Agent, and...  ?Without a dead horse to kick, the Republican party is nothing, and the few horses they have are rotten to the core.  And it's too late for them to change, which is good for both Democracy and America.

  1. I immediately thought of poor Bobby when I read the Anchor announcement yesterday!

    1. I will probably have to change his beverage of choice, or else have him purchase and warehouse a truckload.

  2. We had tornadoes. Several.
    And the whole Hunter Biden thing is just as exhausting as was the Hillary thing. They are fine with Mango Mussolini flatlining on Adderal and Junior literally promoting cocaine online but the idea of a tiny bag in a public space in the White House? SCANDAL!!!
    Idiots.
    The Chinese spy was a nice touch, though.

    XOXO

    1. I saw about the tornadoes. So far, the only ones I've experience have been on screen. And yeah, that Chinese spy bit? Fitting for the Republicans.

  3. What will Bobby do? Well at least this gives you an interesting plot twist for this character. I wish the Rs would kick the crap out of a few of their rotting carcasses. The US would run out of popcorn if the GOP decided to go full nuclear on the Orange Turd and his family.

    1. Bobby will just have to switch brands. Running out of popcorn is nothing, can you imagine how that would upend a bookie's life?

  4. Anchor Steam is, er, was, one of my favorite beers. I will miss it.
    Too bad the GOP go the way of Anchor.

    1. Well, they're sort of halfway there, since all of them have anchored themselves to Trump.

  5. You could set your next book in England - lots of warm beer there! (Note, as far as I can remember, nobody likes ice cold beer there. My ex used to do his nut)!

    1. I've actually sort of done that already with The Body in the Loch, and Bobby drank old school mead.
