Zinnias in the Rain

 And it's Monday, Funday for all of you out there who hate the start of the new work week.  Here in Central PA, we're under a steady drizzle with heavy, soaking rains to come later in the morning and early afternoon.  After they pass through, the temps are going to drop.  A frost warning is in effect for tomorrow morning, so it's probably time to pull my snuggly, wool blanked out of the cedar chest.

This morning, before I decided to get out of bed and get dressed, I thought about Biggie.  He was a really nice bedwarmer during the winter.  I will miss that.  He did, however, on occasion, walk up and look in my face and burp, but then he was a dog.  He would also snore loudly if he managed to roll himself over on his back.  Believe me, rolling a sleeping 115 pound dog over on his side is not the easiest thing to do.

Walking to work yesterday morning, I snapped a shot of one of zinnias in the rain.

Yesterday, politically things were rather quiet.  With Pence out of the GOP nominating race, things have quieted down somewhat.... sorry, I had to do that.  I did see where the Orange Anus said something about Mikey needing to go the distance.  Mikey was never one to put in the work, always being a step behind thinking that was enough.

Ronnie DeSantis is running into serious shit issues.  People are asking him the not too difficult questions and he's fumbling for the answers because he's always assumed everyone is a moron.  There was an interesting exchange on one of the Sunday morning news shows where he was asked about increasing gun mortality rate in Florida.  Of course, Ronnie D lied, saying it was decreasing.  Pushback ensued, something Ronnie D abhors because that brings his lack of accountability into focus.  Statistically, the number of people dying from gunshot wounds is increasing... a lot, like a percentage point a year, and last year it was up to 14 + %.  And Ronnie D's blubbery lips blubbered.  One of the consequences of loosening gun laws is that more people are going to die, but then when have Republicans ever thought of consequences.
