Cool but still damp. Clear and sunny warming things up later. Yesterday was pretty nice by the afternoon. It’s great to drive around with the windows open, even if you might need a bit of heat or A/C to put things right. I need another warm dry day to get my decor dried out and put away.
Yesterday I did some auction stuff. Did one pickup on the north side. It’s near the LDS thrift store, Deseret Industries. I always go in and shop when I’m in the area and it usually pays off. This time I got an Aquatainer for $3, two big spools of direct burial cat 6 cable, which I have plans for here and at the BOL for $25 each, and a big old CB radio for resale, either at the Hamfest or online… and I got some irrigation supplies and some medical stuff too. Then I got the kid from school, and did stuff at home including some domestic bliss. I’ll fold the clean clothes later today.
Today I’ll be trying to rent a drywall cart to help with moving my new bed, and doing other stuff on the list. I rented the trailer so that’s done. I shouldn’t have any pickups, and kid taxi duties don’t kick in until 3pm so I MIGHT be able to make some progress around the house. That’s the plan, Stan.

I’m finding the news to be entertaining… lot’s of “this is why the Kamel failed” articles. NOW they see it, NOW they know it, NOW it’s so obvious. Well, where were you last week, or the previous months when it was obvious to US? In South Park getting high on your own smug?
The only question now is, well there are lots of questions. Still plenty of uncertainty, even if one branch of the tree is known. We’re on the “Trump won the election” branch, but it forks and twists, and is riddled with parasites, storm damage, weakened branches, etc… There are still a million bad things that can happen, but now there are also good things too.
Prepare for the worst, hope for the best, and try to get through it.
And stack of course.

Yeah, I was thinking much the same thing. I also enjoy pointing out: As bad as Trump is, what does his win say about the quality of his opponent? Yes, she is that bad. Most of Europe doesn’t understand that, because they view her through the rose-tinted lense of the MSM.
Given the apparent win of both the Senate and the House, Trump is being handed quite the mandate. I wish I didn’t think he would squander it, but that’s the way to bet. He accomplished very little in his first term – about the only thing you can say is that his inactivity extended to not starting any new wars.
Anyway, here’s hoping he does something sensible in his second term.
More Supreme Court Justices would be enough of a legacy.
Both parties are full of talk, but when both had iron clad majorities, they didn’t do anything. That’s because they don’t WANT to do anything to endanger their grift, but also a problem you solve is a problem you can’t use any longer.
And with the majority of those in .gov, the LESS they accomplish, the safer We The People, and our rights and liberties, are.
With Trump, the idea is to take names and kick @sses. We’ll see if that’s even possible.

Cool-ish and mostly clear this morning. Had my first sip of roasted bean broth, and it was good.
Now to move the rest of the herd along…

The Club I Don’t Get It, Infidel crowd also loves feminist icons.
PR stunt. How long ago was “Ugly Betty” now? Plus, over 40 actress.
Only old people watch network TV.
Return CAFE to 38 MPG and a bill put through Congress, signed by Trump into law, not an EO, stating that only Congress can change it.
50+ MPG has always been impossible. Look at the TSLA numbers every quarter from “regulatory credits”. That’s where Tony makes his money, not by actually, you know, selling the cars.
I’m either surfing the edge of the zeitgeist or leading it. Which would be scary. A short while ago I mentioned that I hadn’t thought about the group Styx in a while, but they were HUGE and their music is still good. I wondered why we don’t see or hear them anymore.
Suddenly Styx is popping up everywhere.
If my comments gave you a little nudge, let me know.

(could be pure synchronicity, or “coincidence” and that’s what my rational mind says. But.)
Besides the non-liberal Supreme Court justices ( I can’t call them conservative based on their actions), he cut taxes. Those tax cuts are set to expire at the end of 2025, so hopefully he can get them extended or even increased.
Trump has recently backpedaled on the SALT deduction limit, however, which is unfortunate.
Four years ago, the Dems campaigned on lifting the limit to appeal to their suburban women voters in the suburbs of DC and the tech hubs, but they abandoned the plans once ensconced in office.
Yeah, betrayal. Trump tho.
Lifting the limit might influence the midterms but it would be a costly bribe which probably wouldn’t work anyway. Virginia still went for Kamala.
– From the comments over at Zero’s place.
One year ago, on a Saturday morning in The Wisconsin Dells, the place looked like a ghost town at 11 AM, all the tourist traps empty except the Ross store at the outlet mall. That place was a zoo, three weeks before Thanksgiving/Black Friday.
