Final night time tuesday. Tuesday Glad Hour at The Grand. A terrific Glad Hour yesterday!
Matt bartending. Nice character. Steve and Cindy, Eddie, Chris and strangers.
Glad Hour for locals half value for appetizers and booze. I’m not ingesting so it’s solely the meals for me. Selected small clams buried in a butter sauce with a basket of reduce up chunks of soppy bread. For dunking. The perfect a part of the meal.
Cheap. I used to be embarrassed after I bought the invoice: $8. The clams $16 usually. Glad Hourr value $8. I dropped a $20 invoice on the bar as I left.
Nice dialog with Steve. He’s all the time a pleasure to be with. He arrived in Key West within the 1960’s. Turned buddies with Jimmy Buffett when Buffett arrived within the early 1970’s. I discovered Steve was a visitor at Buffett’s marriage ceremony in Aspen a few years in the past. These guys knew dwell it up again then.
Steve made an remark concerning the weblog that was appropriate. When Trump was sworn in as President some 50 days in the past, I wrote that inside 1-2 months he would screw the whole lot up and convey our nation to the brink of catastrophe. Steve jogged my memory I used to be appropriate. Every thing I stated was going to occur has begun. The subsequent 1-2 months are going to be even worse.
Yesterday was not a contented camper one for me. My arm nonetheless bleeding. Even this morning. That is day 9. Much less, however nonetheless bleeding.
My blood work got here again okay, aside from one merchandise. I’m redoing the blood work this afternoon to see if the unhealthy half is appropriate.
On at the present time in 1998, The Sound of Music opened on the Martin Beck Theater in New York Metropolis. A rerun. Ran for a couple of 12 months by means of June 20, 1999.
I used to be lucky to have seen the primary run on Broadway in July 1960.
I got here throughout an fascinating use for a correct title. It ran on the web as a remark re the primary report of Guttenberg’s Bible. The Bible was referred to in a letter dated March 12, 1455 by one Enea Silvio Piciolomini which talked about it having been printed one 12 months earlier.
The title that struck me was Piccolomini’s center title Silvio. My center title additionally. My Mom’s father’s title. I hardly ever see Silvio referenced or talked about.
Musk has achieved a level of greatness adequate to warrant a particular part or grouping on this weblog at the moment.
First allow my remark that I have no idea how he turned the richest man on the planet. Every thing he touches with Trump or on Trump’s behalf turns bitter. Even his enterprise Tesla goes down the tubes in the meanwhile.
Yesterday on the White Home South Garden, 5 new Tesla’s have been displayed. Like on sale/obtainable on the market. Trump was on the market praising Musk’s product. Trump even purchased one of many vehicles. I consider a fireplace engine purple one claiming he was serving to out a pal.
These guys refuse to observe the regulation. They don’t even hassle to search out out what the regulation is. Federal workers are prohibited from endorsing or selling a product on federal property. I assume Musk is a federal worker. Trump doesn’t apply since a President is particularly excluded from falling below the regulation.
Musk referred to as Senator Mark Kelly a “traitor” yesterday. The Senator visited Ukraine and expressed his help for Ukraine in Ukraine’s conflict with Russia.
Kelly is an American hero. A embellished Navy pilot and former astronaut. Significantly thought of for the Vice-President place on the Kamala Harris ticket. His spouse former Congresswoman Gabby Gifford. You’ll recall she was shot within the head whereas campaigning in 2011. A part of her scalp needed to be eliminated.
Kelly flew on 4 NASA missions into area. He served 25 years within the Navy. Served a variety of years as a fight pilot within the Center East.
Kelly responded to Musk’s “traitor” cost: “Traitor?”…..Elon, you don’t perceive what makes America nice and retains it free, and so on.
Musk continues to knock Social Safety. Calls it a “Ponzi scheme.” Even worse, calls individuals who obtain federal advantages the “Parasite Class.”
Those that obtain retirement checks are receiving in return a small portion of their very own monies they paid into Social Safety through the years. No free handouts right here!
What about Agent Orange veterans? Have their advantages been reduce off?
A little bit of Trump subsequent.
I discussed yesterday the worldwide regulation agency Perkins Coie. One of many regulation companies Trump has banned from receiving U.S. enterprise, and so on. I forgot to say Sam. Sam a feminine. Additionally, Steve Thompson’s sister. Labored for years with the Perkins’ regulation agency of their Seattle places of work. I’ve met Sam. An enthralling clever lady. Proof of the pudding is she reads my weblog every single day! Good day, Sam! How are you?
The inventory market had one other Trump response day. At one level was over 700. Ended the day round 440.
Stick with it, Donald! You might be main us right into a deep recession.
One other biggie for Trump/Musk. the Division of Schooling already has had its employees reduce in half.
Trump’s 25 % tariff on metal and aluminum goes into impact at the moment world large. All over the place. Our shut Allies are pissed.
Trump stated a couple of days in the past he was going so as to add a further 25 % on Canada bringing Canada’s tariff to 50 %.
Pure madness!
The rationale was a punishing tariff. Ontario’s chief had imposed a retaliatory tariff on power it gives three U.S. states. Trump got here again with the 50 %. The 2 talked and the will increase have been withdrawn by each.
The Republican Home handed its funds invoice. The invoice now within the Senate’s fingers. An much more tough passage. Sixty votes required. The Senate should go the invoice by 12:01 am saturday or the nation will go into shutdown.
The invoice gives solely momentary reduction. Ths recreation/situation must be replayed in September once more.
Coca Cola has been offered in glass bottles for many years. The primary bottled Coke offered at the present time in 1894.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt the President of Presidents. In peace and conflict, recession and financial success.
On at the present time in 1933, whereas Roosevelt had been in workplace solely 8 days and the recession was drowning the U.S., he went on radio to talk to the nation. A Presidential first. His speak turned generally known as a “fireplace chat.” He did a number of through the years.
He did what he needed to do. Intelligently and never stupidly as is being accomplished at the moment. He defined to the individuals he had closed the banks for someday. They’d reopen and in the end issues would flip round.
Take pleasure in your day!
