Lack of shame, lack of guilt, hypocrisy – I don’t know what to call it.
When I watch someone like Ted Cruz try to excuse himself out of something there’s an underlying motivation that is hard to put one’s finger on. I can guess, but it’s hard for me to imagine.What galls me is that when caught they make excuses wither trying to gaslight or indirectly asking for sympathy and understanding. Yet, when the tables are turned they have no sympathy, no understanding, and they demand that someone aceed to their “facts” regardless of what is obviously true.
I do have to wonder what Ted Cruz will do when he gets back to Texas. I wonder if he even has anyone in charge of constituent services? My guess is that anyone asking for help is directed to a web site that ultimately gives them a broken link.
I decided to get some computer glasses. The kind that are supposed to filter out the blue light. I have a pair of Foster Grant readers, which I like. I decided to order a pair of blue light readers from them. The pair they sent me is unwearable in that the lens have aberrations in their focus. You can tell these things by holding the glasses away from your face and looking at a straight edge, by waving the glasses slowly up and down, and then again side to side if you get the lines in either direction bending the lens are not made correctly. You can, of course, wear the glasses and wonder why you are getting a headache.
In the case of the Foster Grants the company sent me I got a headache immediately. I sent them an email. A few days later a box showed up from Foster Grant. Another pair of readers! No explanation. No email reply from Foster Grant. I tried out the readers. Still bad, not as bad as before, and this time there was what appeared to be a drop of water on the lens. It wasn’t. It was some of the coating on the lens, which had dried in such a way that it left a telltale drop on the lens. Naturally, this will distort one’s vision.
The glasses are made like they were for the guy with the thick glasses in Trailer Park Boys. I have to wonder wouldn’t you take a little extra time if someone complained about your product to make sure that what you sent out the second time were good?
I guess not.
I stopped in CVS to find out what the deal was with the vaccine. I had stopped in two days before. I was told then that they wouldn’t have any openings for two days at least because they had to move everyone that had been scheduled for the last two days due to the ice storm. This time I was told that they were having problems getting the shipment. And the two day reschedule. I thanked the young woman and said it was far easier to do this than to go on line. I asked her if she was a robot, and did I have to identify 17 pictures that either did, or did not, contain bicycles.
She laughed and assured me she was a human.
I also went to Home Depot on the rumor that they had generators. They did. I bought one. Now my power will never go out again. It’s a cheap price to pay.

Can Texas impeach Ted Cruz? If they can I am wondering why they are waiting. Oh right, they have no water and a little electricity. I sure hope he feels the anxiety his constituents must certainly have. After he returned he went straight to FOX because he knew they would understand how he couldn’t let his kids down but had no problem letting his constituents down.
