68 Days until the election on November 3rd
148 Days until the Inauguration on January 20, 2021
I wasn’t going to write today as I was achy and had nuthin’ to say, then I learned my services were not needed at the moment and thought it wise to catch you-all up on the proceedings.
The painting continues apace. We got the ocean (south) side done, including the fascia boards. Only the little slivers between the big windows remain. Note, the clever masking.
The west side is done high up except for one strip of second coat. The lower part needs to be masked. The east side is power washed and awaiting masking. The backside (garage) is being power washed as I write.
There is some concern over my safety by those not here, and I sure you that all is well. I hold the hose!
Scott lent us set up equipment, which included the green fiberglass ladder. He told me he liked it because it was so light. Either he was kidding or he’s strong like ox. I’m not sure which. Trying to move that beast when the ladder was extended, because it has no pull rope, is the closest we’ve come to Keystone Cops. However, all the high work is nearly done. Just the one strip left. Ever onward!
In other news, the police shot a black man in the back seven times because they feared for their lives.
A man who thought Covid was a hoax and therefore didn’t abide by any of the safety guidelines just lost his wife to the virus. He guesses he should have listened more. This reported by the BBC’s disinformation correspondent.
Katie Porter question the new Postmaster General who demonstrated a severe lack of even the most basic of information about the post office. What I found astounding about his testimony was how he could straight up lie to people. Maybe it’s not lying if you don’t know? That’s about the best defense he could mount. Interestingly he says that the “reforms” he put in place were not his but from previous studies and people, yet he didn’t know whom those people or studies were.
The Republican Convention was kicked off the other night. Well, there was the Trump Convention and the other Republican convention. Highlights includes Donald Trump Jr. high as a kite (or so I am told by people more expert in these behaviors than me.) And Trump giving his “I don’t know much about the organization, but they like me” comment about the Qanon folks. However, I can understand after hanging out with Jeff Epstein that the idea of pedophiles running the world makes some sense. The cannibalism? That’s a little harder to understand. Maybe, Jeff was doing even more than suspected? It seems that the rich are not only different than you and me, but they are pretty weird too.
