    My Supplies Cycle

    November 30, 2010 - By ginny

    Oh, THERE you are, unwelcome visitor. What’s it been, since August? Then February? At this rate I’ll only have to buy “supplies” twice a year. Guess my teammates joke about “manopause” due to the excessive heat n the office was better than he knew.

    Palin’s Pallin’ May Have Lost GOP The Senate

    November 3, 2010 - By ginny

    So where it really counted – the Senate races featuring female religious fanatics like Angle and O’Donnell, Palin’s endorsement wasn’t enough. And in O’Donnell’s case, not even a Bumpit and a bunch of rabid teabaggers shouting slogans outside polling places were enough, thanks be to God. Via Palin A Loser | Talking Points Memo.

    Hope This Isn’t A Flash In The Pan

    November 2, 2010 - By ginny

    Adobe Flash is officially banned from Apple iOS software. So does that mean you can’t view Flash content on your iPhone or iPad? Well, not exactly. Beginning at 9 a.m. on Thursday morning – mark your calendars – the Apple Store will reportedly begin selling a $2.99 app called Skyfire, which effectively lets iPhone and iPad users perform an end-run around the Flash ban. via How to get Adobe Flash on your iPhone and iPad – CSMonitor.com.

    Vote Informed Tomorrow

    November 1, 2010 - By ginny

    Last time around I forgot to print off the guides to the “down-ticket” races and felt very uncomfortable voting for complete unknowns in the many, many judges’ races.

    Watched Hoarders, Cleared Out Bathroom Cabinet

    September 21, 2010 - By ginny

    Funny how this works. I have a high tolerance for clutter yet feel much calmer once I finally buckle down and clean. After watching the latest Hoarders episode, I often feel the need to clean the counters. Tonight I threw a trashbag full of partly used “hotel amenities” and travel size items from trips out of the bathroom cabinet. And cleaned the kitchen, and cleared all the stuff off the dressers. Still some laundry to wash, fold, sort later. Maybe after watching another episode; got reruns to catch up on. Got a houseguest coming in a couple of weeks, I’m…

  • Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

    Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong?

    Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

    Spine of steel? Nope. Skull of rock.

    Maury Povich lie detector meme: It says here… Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

    Global economy rocked again as rates on imports to the US from dozens of trading partners rose further, with China hit by 104% tariffs

  • Now Listening: Joni Mitchell | Black Crow

    Joni Mitchell album cover Black Crow. A woman is superimposed over an empty road that leads into her silhouette.

    Text:

     

    ”Black Crow - There's a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He's black as the highway that's leading me Now he's diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took the ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I've been traveling so long How'm I ever gonna know my home When I see it again I'm like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I'm like a black crow flying In a blue sky”

  • Living On Blue Island In Lake Illinois

    A local bike riding friend remarked today that he feels like he’s living on a blue island. I made sure he sees this.

     

    ”JB Pritzker trolled the president on Friday by claiming he planned to rename Lake Michigan as Lake Illinois and annex Green Bay.”
