Memorial Day Weekend will be a big family party at “The Compound.” Yours truly is busy sprucing up the grounds and fighting the forces of entropy that are always at work undermining my efforts. I’m impatiently awaiting the yearly attack of the deer on my patch of day lilies and irises. Like clockwork, just as the day lilies bud some moocher with a white tail and hooves swoops down and chews them down to the ground. Every year I say I will buy some netting and build a fence around them but sloth and an innate sense of the wrongness of deer forcing me to waste my time with such precautions stops me. So here I am dreading but fascinated by the knowledge that the catastrophe awaits. The only hope I have is that this particular deer met his fate during the hunting season and is now an antlered bit of taxidermy on the wall of some hunting enthusiast in Dunwich.
I checked the headlines this morning but it was the same old, same old. You know; pestilence, war, famine, Kardashians. So, nothing new to write about. Biden is still in East Asia which effectively raises the average IQ of North America a few points.
I have started to figure out Twitter a little bit. I finally got some traffic back to OCF from my twitter feed. The trick is to use some of the better lines from an article as a teaser to pique their interest. Of course, this isn’t stunning insight but for a social media Neanderthal such as myself it’s tantamount to the invention of the wheel. I’m actually kind of enjoying it. I got 300 impressions, 3 likes, 3 comments and 10 clicks on my web site for one of my car show pictures which was a new best personal best. I haven’t gotten flamed by any progs yet which makes me a little sad. I assume you aren’t someone until you’ve been attacked on Twitter.
We had two ninety-degree days on Saturday and Sunday. But now the temperature is back in the sixties and is supposed to stay in the seventies all week. For the shindig on Sunday that would be optimal. That way no air conditioning will be needed and people will be more likely to stay outdoors. It would be a little cool for swimming in the pool. But with the water only 55 degrees right now most people aren’t hardy enough to stay in that temperature water for long anyway.
The fact that the winner hasn’t been declared in the Pennsylvania Senate primary for the GOP seems to me to mean that voter fraud activities are still in full force in Philadelphia. I assume the November results in that state will take a month to be reported and will be completely fraudulent. It should be interesting to see how many states will crack down on the mail voting scam. That will be a good indicator of whether the Democrats will pull out all the stops and try to steal the mid-terms.
So, the work week begins. I’ll check in later for anything worthy of comment.
