Hey there! Welcome to another 5 for Friday. The Friday email with just some odds and ends of what’s on my mind, and other fun stuff. Let’s go!
The AOC mess. Honestly, I don’t know if I care or not, but to see a politician use their position to create hyperbole over something and use it as a tactical advantage or a means of gathering unearned respect or compassion, well, that’s just immoral and not honorable, but really, do we expect that from politicians anymore? As I tweeted, don’t give her the space and attention she wants, don’t solicit the attention whores.
On a lighter note, it’s fun for me to watch the local meteorologist, or ‘weather guessers’ as we called them in the Navy fret to and fro over the forecast for the weekend. It may snow, no, wait, this model run says no snow, no wait, now THIS model runs says snow. Over and over. It’s like watching a dog chase its tail.
Speaking of weather and dogs, the best weather forecaster I ever saw was a local dog in our small town. (We weren’t big enough to be a one dog town, we had to borrow this dog from the next town over) Gus was a great weather dog, if he went outside and got wet, it was raining, if he came back panting, it was hot, if he came back white, it was snowing and if he didn’t come back, it was windy.
Starting to get the winter blues, I’m ready for winter to be over. But as I posted on the 2nd, Happy non binary indigenous mammal associated with weather prognostication. The marmota monax formally known as 'the groundhog' has projected 6 more weeks of winter. To flatten the curve an executive order was signed to mandate 6 more weeks of mittens.
Have a great weekend, stay safe, don’t add to the population, don’t take away from the population, if you wind up in jail, establish dominance early and violently, drink water, don’t pee on electric fences and stay warm. Gus would want it that way.
Lead from the front!
