We did not have a frost last night. It didn't get anywhere close to cold enough for that.
We had more weather though. We had to go to the bank. I needed to buy eggs. I buy the 5 dozen box. It normally lasts a couple months, so hopefully I will have my own eggs by then *side eye at the 'ladies'* it will be winter, so who knows really? We are putting a light in the coop to balance the short days and we will hope for the best.
Anyways, back to the weather. While we were in town, we stopped at the Goodwill which is right by the bank. It was 79 cent day. I found this and knew immediately where it should go. I also found a chenille sweater for my youngest granddaughter.
But back to the weather...while we were in the store, the skies opened up and it was yet another torrential downpour. We scooted to the car, got soaked, and the water rushing to the storm drain went to my ankles. It is always amazing how quickly this happens.
Tornadoes went east of us, but I have not heard of any touchdowns.
At his GOP convention, Trump promised every American $5000 if Republicans win the midterms. 1) that is a violation of federal law. 2) it would cost a trillion dollars and 3) We are still waiting on our D.O.G.E checks, our $2000 tax rebates and our $1000-1500 health rebates as a reward for letting the ACA lapse.
Nobody in their right minds believes these promises. I take it one step further: no one in their right mind would stand in front of a camera making promises like this, or telling boldface, easily disproven lies. It always amuses me when people talk about 'Trump derangement syndrome. Our president is literally crazy, but the people who notice are the ones that get labeled.
Gas went up 30 cents a gallon yesterday. Are you seeing that where you are?
Ankle-deep rain after preparing for a frost—mother nature is really keeping you on your toes! Glad you stayed safe from the twisters, though.
ReplyDeleteHope the lighting in the coop gets the girls motivated so you don't have to haul another 5-dozen box home next round! Great score at Goodwill, too; 79 cents is hard to argue with, crooked sign or not.
And absolutely yes on the gas jump—we saw a sharp spike at the pumps here as well. Definitely feeling that sting!
It is always a bit of a jolt when something jumps that much over the course of a day.
DeleteThat's a good assessment of Trump's character -- an old hot dog skin making noises with its face! The Guardian says J.D. Vance walked back the $5,000 pledge a bit, saying it wouldn't go to everyone. No rich people, supposedly, though who's rich and who's not remains to be seen. Of course it will never happen anyway so I suppose it really doesn't matter.
ReplyDeleteHe has to have some idea that the elections are not going to be kind.
DeleteI think we are figuring out alternate ways of posting photos, but I guess they are back.
ReplyDeleteI could not post anything last night. Everything was fine this morning.
DeleteYep, gas up here too.
ReplyDeleteThat jump is going to lead to a big jump in virtually everything else.
DeleteHow do you keep your eggs so they last that long?
ReplyDeleteI just keep them in the fridge. They keep just fine.
DeleteI live in California so we’ve been paying about $5.50/ gallon and now think it’s over $6 of course we don’t believe a word that comes out of that man’s mouth. Neve4 have, never will. Lini from Petaluma
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe anyone would belive him...but they seem to.
DeleteThat meme, with the scrapings off the floor, I like it very much. I was wondering how you keep your eggs that long too.
ReplyDeleteJust keep them in the fridge.
DeleteScraping it off the floor or someplace worse?????
ReplyDeleteHard telling.
DeleteWe can add attempted bribery to the resume of the liar in chief. Yes gas is up and diesel is the highest it's ever been. Everything we buy will go up because trucks bring things to stores and diesel runs trucks. I'll bet the felon has never thought of that. Or anything really.
ReplyDeleteHe can't do it. period.
DeleteWhat do you think of your Senator Fetterman showing up at the Republican "convention"?
ReplyDeleteThar man bears no resemblance ro the Fetterman I heard speak on the campaign trail. He will never be re-elected. Quite an ignoble end to a man who seemed poised to do great things for his constituents.
DeleteDiesel is over $7/gallon in Spokane. That was shocking to see.
ReplyDeleteI imagine.
DeleteI can't make out that the sign is crooked. Isn't just the lower edge of the timber isn't cut straight?
ReplyDeleteYou may not have been given the handouts yet, but aren't you reaping the benefits of the tariffs #47 has applied like you were supposed to? Everything is cheaper for you, and the world is showing respect to the US because #47 has stopped other countries taking advantage of the US? No???
Perhaps. I will study it more closely.
DeleteCatching up with you! One thing for sure, Debby, is that you always are busy and always have interesting things to say
ReplyDeleteSo cool about your hens! We are chicken-less right now, and it feels so odd. I also dislike running out of eggs. I am so used to always having them on hand. But I may just put off getting more chickens until next spring, and give us a break from caring for them over the winter.
Apart from last summer's experiment with two chicks last summer (t ended badly, don't ask), I have never had chickens. They are quite entertaining and I love having them around.
DeleteYou all have all the weather going on at once! Down here in VA I'm hoping we might get a quarter of an inch of rain tomorrow and that it won't get into the 90s as predicted! And we aren't that far apart geographically.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Ceci
We aren't. I used to live in the Alexandria area, later Gaithersburg, and then Baltimore/Essex area. Where are you?
DeleteFalls Church, with kids in Baltimore. You had us surrounded!
DeleteOr you were lurking, keeping an eye on us...
DeleteThere are people who will believe in the current "offer" even though nothing else has come through. They believe it because he says it and they think Democrats have stopped him from giving them all the other promised money.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I know it. It is the craziest thing.
DeleteOur fuel prices always going up - 191.9 - 195.9 seen on my travels this week. Per Litre. I can remember when we bought it by the gallon and if we were paying by the gallon now it would be £8.68. I think you're not that far behind in the States now.
ReplyDelete$5,000 per head if he won the mid-terms? Isn't that a bribe ?
Oh it most certainly is. Taking it one step further, he is trying to bribe us with his own money.
DeleteWe're getting rumbling thunder and hoping for rain. I seriously doubt we'll be seeing any frost though. Haha!
ReplyDeleteAs Heather Cox points out- it's the price of diesel that's really the most disturbing. This country runs on the stuff and its price is climbing higher faster than gas.
I'm pretty sure that the Trump Derangement Syndrome is not what MAGA thinks it is.
I am positive you are right. Not rhat right, whiich would be wrong. You are left and as such, you are right.
DeleteHe had is followers pledging allegiance to him at that convention. Repeating his crazy words. Nuts!
ReplyDeleteI saw that too, Ellen, and came here to mention it. The utter derangement of this man cannot be overstated.
DeleteNot only allegiance, but "to cheat like hell". Elon Musk has set up a copy cat site called votesafe.org. it collects vote data which he is sharing. Our Pennsylvania governor refused to turn over voter rolls to this administration. It would appear that a workaround has been devised. I strongly recommend that everyone verify their status. The site you need is vote.gov
DeleteEvery day, more BS and more quid pro quo grifting. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI can't get over the thought that at the turn of this century, we never would have believed it.
DeleteSo true. Literally no one predicted this timeline.
Delete"Makes noises with its face" sums up that shitshow in Dallas perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI just cannot believe he is openly calling on people to cheat I can't believe he is openly offering bribes. AND THERE IS NO REACTION FROM CONGRESS
DeleteSpineless invertebrates, all of them.
DeleteGosh, you will have plenty of eggs! The lier-in-chief would be a funny clown if he weren't in a position of power. May all who are hood-winked by him fall gently on their faces! And may all who are puppeteers sizzle as they create their own ends.
ReplyDeleteFrom your lips to God's ears!
ReplyDeleteHe is so full of shite that his eyes are turning brown. Obviously he is going to cheat in the upcoming elections and wants his cultists to do so as well.He hates Carney because Mark is truly smart unlike the dumpster fire in charge of USA
ReplyDeleteWant to name yourself anonymous?
DeleteI truly think that the Republican party did themselves a major disservice harnessing their wagon to Trump. What is worse is there are many Australians who think "there is the model we want to follow"
ReplyDeleteIt is not just Australia, Jeanie. It really is horrifying.
