Tuesday Tidbits...

(With DeBlasio, that might be a GOOD thing.)

It was sure niec to have a good day down here for a change.
Then again, a good day for me is probably different from what it is for you.
I've learned to take my victories wherever and whenever i can get them anymore.
Our Hoosierland weather for today brings us another okay day (for me, anyway), with temps only climbing to the upper 50s (you'll miss such days in a month or so, trust me), mostly cloudy skies,and yes, more rain coming back through during the day (oh, joy).

So, let's get ourselves a comforting drink to get the day started, as we see what else has been going on...
*** First  off of the kitchen counter, is our "What the hell happens today, Bob?" feature:
MAY 21 -
National American Red Cross Founder’s Day

(Saved a LOT of lives)
National Waitstaff Day

(never forget to tip them adequately for good service)
National Strawberries and Cream Day

(remember the ones you picked yesterday?)
National Memo Day

(I really need to start getting ALL mine)
*** Next, time to look into ALL the important crimes that took place last week in Fort Wayne (that we never heard anything about...and should have):
((WARNING, the list is fairly long))

Ahh, there's our asshole of the week.
*** Next up...and speaking of CRIME, we bring you this:
http://www.journalgazette.net/news/local/police-fire/20190521/guns-drugs-found-at-separate-police-raids

Two drug busts netted lots of illegal stuff and two perps.
Arrested were Antoine Burnett, 38, of the 2500 block of Winch Street (east side near Memorial Park), and Carl Burnett, 40, of the 2100 block of Shadybrook Drive (Harvester area near SE).

Carl Burnett               Antoine Burnett

Guess they like to keep things "in the family"?
Well, now they can dress alike, too. Bet you'll both look GOOD in orange, boys.
*** Next...Oh, yes, it's THAT time of year once again. The city wants (needs) more of your money:
https://wpta21.com/news/top-stories/2019/05/20/tall-grass-and-weed-program-starts-back-up-in-fort-wayne/

Yep, that's some HIGH grass there.

And that's why we are ahead of this curve...as we've always been.
Remember, NINE inches is the "magic number"...
*** Next up...From that "Can you imagine that?" file, we have this:
https://wpta21.com/news/top-stories/2019/05/20/guatemala-authorities-confiscate-over-800-packages-containing-cocaine-headed-to-the-u-s/

That's some SERIOUS smack|!

All that cocaine shipped in GUATEMALA...that was headed for the USofA.
Sure hope that nation doesn't expect a "pass" for any illegals from there.
*** Next...I did manage to get the back yard mowed (again) yesterday, and the funny thing, as SOON as I finished, it started to drizzle...no kidding.

Done...just...in...time.

I couldn't have timed that better if I TRIED.
There are those days when at least something goes your way, and that's not bad at all.
*** Next up...time to visit our "Kitten Corner"...

Looking to heaven for "inspiration"?

Our "children" had another decent day, and that was easy to take.
They spent some of the day looking outside and wondering what I was up to (mowing).

No, SATURDAY is grocery shopping.

There was the usual nap time and then some "follow me" time, and of course, random acts of cuteness.
A little bit of crazy-running around ended the day, before it as time to take yet another nap before bedtime.
*** Next...let's check back in with "Midnight and Whiskers"...

Cats WILL do anything for Temptations.

Our furry twosome were there nice and early for backstep treats and breakfast.

"No rain, no noise...just good food."

When I got the mower out, they both disappeared, but Whiskers came back when I finished.
Midnight took a bit longer, but he was close by for dinner and yes...evening backstep treats.

"You done running that mower?"

He even greets me when I get the morning paper around 5 AM. Such diligence always gets (your guessed it) a couple treats.
*** Last  back to the entertainment center...as I mentioned yesterday, Hollywood is certainly not the place it used to be (hard to find anyplace that IS these days).

But you have to admit that the number of conservative actors.actresses is a very small number in comparison to all those on the liberal side of the fence.
Why more actors fail to see through the socialist lies and embrace the truth eludes me. I suppose such thinking has become "optional"?
Still, so many connected with the MCU have succumb to the falsehoods.

---MCU actors who are anti-Trump (and pro-left) or not:
Chris Evans - yes
Mark Ruffalo - yes
Brie  Larson - yes
Samuel L. Jackson - yes
Chris Hemsworth - yes
Robert Downey Jr. - ?
Scarlett Johansson - yes
Jeremy Renner - ?
Anthony Mackie - no
Elizabeth Olsen - ?
This is what I came across. I didn't check out the "Guardians" ensemble (yet). Those of the "yes" group have expressed their views more than once.
Too bad, because I do enjoy their performances.
That's sad to see, because most all of them have become millionaires as a result of the movies they've appeared in. I guess as long as the money flows (in no small part from capitalism), everything's okay.

Don't hear much from THIS crowd, though.

I wonder if such roles that they take are meant to compensate for their inability to see and understand the truth when it comes to the political arena? I don't believe that any of them are inherently bad people at all...they're just misinformed, drank the Kool-Aid, and have become misguided.
I suppose pretending to be something you're not is much easier than actually being that better person in any manner, shape, or form.
We know it DOES pay very well, though...right?

Be well, make a difference to someone, and...
Stay SAFE out there, America.
