Beautiful sunny day / Rant

While it started out cold it turned out to be a beautiful sunny day with a high of 77 degrees. However, change is on the way and the next couple of days will be cloudy, cooler, and rainy. Took the opportunity to hand wash some of my nicer sweaters...have I mentioned how much I hate cold weather?

This weekend I decided to re-arrange my closet but did not get very far...watched Hallmark movies instead. Could not help myself and tuned in to my favorite cable news channels only to raise my already high blood pressure numbers even higher. This past Friday Anderson Cooper announced what the current occupant of the White House was planning for his farewell ceremony.

Yeap, just like the TV caption reads:  Amid Massive Security Inaguration Operation, Trump considering 21-gun salute, Red Carpet DC Departure.

Rather than write a rant-filled post decided to let a couple of days go by but honestly the news...if you are a news junkie like I am...just gets worse by the day.  Now "The Pillow" guy is also giving advice to the sore loser?

At least this evening on "The Last Word With Lawrence O'Donnell" his audience got some good news and some bad news. First the good news...

Trump leaves office with his lowest-ever approval rating

The bad news is that over 100 Pardons will be forthcoming tomorrow but the worse news is that he does not have to make them all public. He can pardon himself, his family members, and cronies but we will not know about it until they are charged, and then the pardon will become public.  Lawrence mentioned that it would not be convenient for him to make some of them known as his impeachment trial will soon get underway and it might make some Republicans vote against him especially if he pardons himself and/or some of the domestic terrorists.

Just two more days!!!!!!!!!

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

Aunty Acid Saying of the Day

Glad it is over and done with...

I do not know about you but I for one am thrilled that the holidays are over and done with for another year. I can go to the grocery store and have my pick of parking spaces, no long lines waiting to buy stamps at the post office...really no long lines anywhere!

I hope you had a safe and enjoyable New Year's Eve. This is my fourth year watching the ball drop in New York City on CNN.  It was funny watching Anderson Cooper doing tequila shots with Andy Cohen.  Anderson does not drink very often and you could tell he was buzzing while Andy was as normal as could be.

I suppose my recliner was way too comfortable that I fell asleep waking up either 6 or 10 seconds before the ball drop. They had coverage from different parts of the country and I wanted to stay up for the Central Standard Time one with Brooke Baldwin and Don Lemon but fell asleep once more.

I still have beer and wine that I brought back from the Chili Cook-off and was considering having a beer to toast the New Year but I much prefer sleeping.  I had the television on high to mask the fireworks but it was obvious when the New Year reached our area.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.


Spurs Corner

I taped the Spurs vs Golden States Warriors game last night since I was watching the New Year's coverage. I woke up at 7:30 a.m. to watch it only to find that it went into overtime. For the fourth or is it fifth time this month we have gone into overtime!

The darn thing stopped taping on the last 30 seconds of OT...I was livid!!!  I wanted to throw something at the television but considering I just bought it I decided to watch the recap on my cellphone.  What was my surprise when the darn thing would not turn on as it has finally DIED...grrrrrrrr!!!

I could have gone online but chose not to as I had a lot of other things to tackle today.  It wasn't until the afternoon news that I learned we WON.  I did go online later this evening and died laughing when others were doing Google searches of the last minute of the OT game...guess their DVR did not record it either!

My friends are Houston Rocket fans so doubt they would read Spurs Corner but if you do DO NOT call my cell...call me on our landline phone!
