This period may be called The Dumbing Down of America (really just USA). However, it’s very presence indicates that we weren’t the smartest nation to begin with.

The President, for whom you most likely voted, implements programs that take down your business and you get rewarded by your state with not having to pay tax. Let’s see if Sarah can hand out those school vouchers like Halloween candy next year.

You know what? If you don’t like what late night talk show hosts are saying about you, you can change your ways or grow a pair and take it. We know the petty poop in the White House had the ability to do neither.

A PSA: If you are thawing that turkey for next week in the refrigerator, put it in their today. With any luck, it might be ready. I now return to your normal grumpy gus.

Me, running away from my problems

The final two chapters of today’s word games story aren’t near as good as the first. Throwing in the towel on the spelling bee. I got to amazing and found the pangram without help. Connections - I failed miserably. Puzzle #893 🟩🟩🟨🟩 🟦🟪🟦🟦 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟨🟨🟩 🟩🟨🟩🟨 I hope your day is going well.

Connections and the Bee are taking more time, caffeine, and thought than I can give right now. I can’t believe this one. Wordle 1,615 2/6 🟩🟩🟩⬛🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Mini-0:47 Strands #627 “Busybody buzz” 🔵🔵🔵🟡 🔵🔵 Stay tuned for the final chapters. In the meantime, have yourself a great day.

Looks like a few folks might be going to grandma’s house a week early.

What’s your favorite movie quote?

Somebody made me get up early and then, due to their snafu, I have to get up early again tomorrow and drive further. I am currently an unhappy camper, well, unhappier than even my normal.

I can’t say research wasn’t involved in today’s Connections. At least I knew the starting point. Mini-0:56 Bee-Genius, 2 pgs, no hints or help Wordle 1,614 5/6 ⬛⬛🟨⬛⬛ ⬛⬛🟨🟨🟨 🟨🟩🟩🟩⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Connections Puzzle #892 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 Strands #626 “Divinely inspired” 🔵🔵🔵🔵 🔵🟡🔵 Have a good day.

Post with a song you can’t hear without thinking of the movie it was in. youtu.be/h0KbKONipqg?...

Don’t you hate it when you’d have to clean the house before you’d even allow the cleaning lady to come in.

Don’t be fooled by my Bass Pro Shops trucker hat. It’s not red and it doesn’t cover a MAGA brain. They sell them for around $5 each, were cheaper before Trump’s tariffs, and I go thru too many a year to spend more money. They get sweaty, nasty, and dirty and I trash them. Yes, I’m still a redneck.

Come on PowerBall. Daddy’s got someplace he’d rather be.

So both houses of Congress are finally doing what should have been done a long time ago. How transparent of them. Here’s an idea, all of you motherfuckers resign and then, if you desire run for your seat again. If you don’t win, it was meant to be.

Good news! The porch dried out without anyone losing a home or out buildings. Yeah, Mother Nature.

We now have a POTUS that is actively embracing supporters of the perpetrators of 9/11. Way to go MAGA morons. You may think you’re a shining example of patriotism. Really, you’re just as treasonous as the Orange Julius you helped put in the Whore, I mean White House.

Uh oh! My front porch was sweating like (insert dirty idiom here). Somebody is possibly fixing to lose some outbuildings or their home in Darkansas. They will want the government for which they voted to help. Alas, help won’t come. We are on our own thanks to them.

There were a bunch. Born to Run by The Boss was one. Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd was another. There were others, tho.

Seth Meyers isn’t the one that needs to be fired.

Since people are insisting on putting up Xmas Holiday decorations it’s time to trot out my old temporary avatar.

Autocorrect and a failure to proofread my posts are making me look very stupid. Frankly autocorrect, I don’t need any help in that department.

Hey MAGAts, remember those pedophiles y’all have been so worried about. No, they weren’t on stage in drag shows. They were running for office and you helped put a big one there.

To all MAGA veterans. For what were you fighting?

Happy Veterans Day to all non-MAGA veterans! Thank you for taking up arms, keeping planes flying, keeping our shores safe, and any other way you fought our enemies. Your service is appreciated.

I’m thinking of breaking out the flannel sheets. That will almost certainly bring on a warmup.

My use of the f word and other expletives has increased somewhat exponentially lately. I will not apologize. It reflects my current frustration with the country and my current situation at home.
