Standing tall

So many things to do... so little time.  Let's see, there's laundry, and dusting, and vacuuming... and those are just some of the wonderful chores calling my name on this, my first day off after working 6 days in a row.  Oh... joy.  Outside, I want to get more more seeds and tubers and bulbs into the ground.  They're forecasting showers for this afternoon, so I'll need to finish that chore this morning sometime... probably after I go to the store.  I'll be planting some Liatris spicata, also known as Blazing Star.  I chose it because it will grow long, and puffy, and will stand tall among the other flowers.  Standing tall is a good thing.

I don't know if butterflies will suck the nectar or not, but I do have hummingbirds.  We shall see if they start hovering around the backyard.  Perhaps Biggie will snap at them, believing they're a snack.  He does that with the big, black, buzzing bumblebees...  they always get away.  I wonder what would happen if he ever actually snagged one.  I'm sure he'd get a funny look on his face just before he'd try and spit it out.  Dog's don't like buzzy things in their mouths.
Brexit got a big delay... which, I suspect, will not go over well with the Bexiteers.  They want their divorce from the EU, and they want it now.  They know that the longer it takes to finalize, the more likely it will never happen.  Those who so desperately wanted it are not getting any younger.  Change happens, if you don't accept it, if you fight it, you will be left behind, forgotten voices buried by time.
Whether they like it or not, the same thing is happening in this country to the MAGA heads.  They are aging.  With every election cycle there will be less and less of them.  And the Idiot Jerk in the White House...?  Everyday he proves how unfit he is growing.  Yesterday he claimed never to have heard of Wikileaks....  Either he's lying, or he's showing severe mental incompetence.  I suspect it's a lot of both.  What we may actually be seeing is his transition from failed president to failed puppet-head.  If that's true, we know who's pulling the strings:  the 2 Stevies, Pompeo, Bolton, Mulvaney, and those crazy Christian Evangelicals.  Of course, this is all hypothetical.  In reality he may just be the Big Giant Head behind their evil. 

Winter Storm Warning

Well, it's Tuesday, March 20, 2018... the first Vernal Equinox (first day of spring), well, not until 12:15 PM this afternoon... and we're under a Winter Storm Warning.  Isn't that nice?  I'm off today and tomorrow and the forecasters are calling for up to 10" inches... of snow.  Tonight the temperature is supposed to drop below freezing - that means it'll lay.  Free Cardio!  I'm off today and tomorrow so this temporary snowfall doesn't really effect me too much.  Well, maybe a little.  I was supposed to go to the movies this evening, that will probably be put on hold until Sunday.
And what about Cambridge Analytica?  This is just more proof that the Idiot Jerk in the White House is truly reprehensible.  What's actually rather sad for both he and the GOP is that with all the help they got from the Russians, Wikileaks, and now Cambridge Analytica, they could only get an Electoral College win; they lost the popular vote.  They are one entity.  The Republicans are going to let him do what ever he wants to do since objecting, or trying to control him would be admitting that they made a terrible mistake.  They would rather shoot themselves in the head first... which is what they're going to do.  Or, perhaps that's their plan... let him fire Mueller, create a constitutional crisis, and have the American People wipe that shit stain out of the White House.  That sounds more like them, you know?  Place the blame somewhere else and try to pass as much of their agenda as possible, get as many conservative appointments approved, before We The People take matters into our own hands.  But then Republicans have always been dumb fucks.
Anyway, I want to rush out to my neighborhood Giant before the snow starts - Bran Muffins are on the cooking agenda for this afternoon and I need brown sugar.
As for tomorrow?  Well, this might be me shoveling snow.

Though, actually... I'm a bit taller and don't have a beard.
