It's 65 degrees this morning, cloudy and the wind is out of the South. The synopsis is for increasing rain chances, and the possibility of strong thunderstorms over the next two days. The wind is stout, and knowing how this usually turns out, we'll have a few cold days at the end of the week, temperatures above freezing, and somebody up North is going to get a wingding of a winter storm.
This is a typical Winter. The worst may be over, since some of our Decembers are the coldest of the season.
I dreamt I went back to work to help out. Everything was screwed up. There were too many projects for the staff on hand, so they were all behind schedule, mistakes were adding up, expensive equipment was staged in an area soon to be inundated by an approaching weather event, my truck was starting to knock, and the only thing racing through my mind was how to graciously quit on the spot and go home. The last thing before I woke was a truck and trailer picking up material had brake failure. The truck slipped backward into the loading equipment, scraped a building, and the owner of the warehouse was demanding the truck be immediately unloaded because the weight of the material was well beyond the legal limit.
I know. It was all a dream. I think I'll go fix a cup of hot tea and go see how the weather is doing.
It's not good to wish bad things on bad people, but it's hard to not feel that some really bad people need to be severely punished for what they've done over the last year. With this in mind, I only wish they develop a conscience that punishes them until their death for the evil they've done.
The news states many are fleeing the Communist states of the North. They want the lower taxes, fewer regulations, and more liberty. Since they weren't boiled completely, and think they escaped the pot, their experience left them with enough ideas we in the South find objectionable. That's why we're wary of anyone that flees from tyranny to our neck of the woods. Parboiled refugees can be a menace to the polite society we created with their lack of objection to some of what they became accustomed. Hopefully so may don't try to come and force us to put up fences with armed guards.
Congress passed a large pile of pork that smells like crap stimulus bill. It's huge, according to reports, and falls under the "you have to pass it to see what's in it " category. I guess we're supposed to be impressed, but it only reinforces my opinion that the majority of those we elected are worthless, and should be punished by a severe method. If they really wanted to impress me, they could have foregone their salary, said the same was to be for 50% of federal workers, and that the Covid fiasco was a mistake.
