I am not sure why some of you cannot understand that the revulsion, disdain, and certainty that Trump is evil and ruining the country is exactly how half the country felt about Obama and Biden.
In fact, my feelings about those two is even stronger now that I see the direction the Democrats are heading.
Here we are back at Monday yet again. I have a couple of meetings today and and other work I have to get done and then I’m heading off on vacation the rest of the week starting tomorrow.
Nope, to answer your question, it is a staycation. Not going anywhere nor doing anything of importance. I have more than three weeks of vacation moving to use-it-or-lose-it status by year end. I can roll over five days, but I’ll gain three comp days when I travel to and from to China over two weekends next month.
It is a good problem to have, unless you don’t have the money to go anyplace. I do have lots of yard work and a whole list of projects, so I do not suppose I’ll be idle. And of course I will work. I’ve never taken a whole week off . I’ll just do it for an hour or so in the morning, and check emails at night…
You know that end guy shifted his weight at least once to make the ladder jiggle and all three laughed about it and called him a MF
I just cannot get excited about the baseball playoffs. Look at who is still involved. Who can I care about?
The Dodgers? Nope Buying championships rings hallow.
The Yankees? I would rather root for any other team in baseball.
The Sox, Rays, Guardians? The American League is responsible for the designated hitter, I cannot forgive that abomination.
Milwaukee? As a Cubs man that is almost as bad as cheering for the Cardinals.
The Padres? 1984. "Nuff said.
I might have hoped for Cleveland, despite the DH thing, since they now have the longest streak since they last one a World Series, but getting rid of the Indians moniker for something as stupid as "Guardians" keeps me from caring. Sorry Jean.
So, baseball ended early for me this year.
Edit. I know some of the series have ended and a couple of teams moved on yesterday. I'm an idiot and failed to move this from draft earlier. Send me a self-addressed stamped envelope and I will refund your subscription fee for this month. Satisfaction guaranteed and all that.
It is a chilly 41F this morning. I don't mind, it will be sunny and the 70s this afternoon. Other than the usual autumn allergy headaches and sneezing, the weather this time of year is glorious.
After a taco dinner, the youngest and I moseyed over to the Nickleplate Trail.* She zipped ahead on her bike while I walked. After she got far enough ahead, she stopped for me to catch up. That girl can really zoom on her bike.
While limping down the old rail right of way, some classic George Jones popped into my head.
Have a productive Tuesday.
*Of course the Nickleplate Trail means nothing to you unless you are a local. It is an old train right of way turned into a bike / walking trail. On a completely unrelated note, my great grandfather and my dad both worked for the Nickleplate Railroad -- Grandpa for his whole life, Dad for a short stint before my brother and I were born.
