To Hell in a Handbag!

     Well, as you now know the Tangerine Tyrant has set a new course for the You-all's south of the 49th Parallel and for the world in general. By pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord the USA joins Syria and some other backward nation in being ignorant of the fact that we, as citizens of this blue marble in space, are rapidly changing the way weather patterns are affecting our very existence. Scientific study shows that the USA is the second largest contributer to global warming but the GOP and the White House are willfully blind to this fact.

     Twenty-four hours later and the world (especially the EU) is stating that the You-alls cannot simply drop the Paris Climate Accord. There is some discussion to the notion that the EU may place sanctions against America if they plan on following through with this asshat idea. Clearly, the shoe is now on the other foot. Good!

     I think my Better Half has something sneaky plan up her sleeve. Four years ago she threw a full blown surprise 50th birthday party for me. This year there has been little talk of wants, needs, cake or eats. Something is up and I'll be surprised if nothing actually does happen. Maybe I should have tasked her with a request like I was to build her the "Wayward Inn Book Emporium".

     Sorry about the delay Dear Readers but work has been grinding things along. Two days ago was Chef Blaine's Bday and although his intention was to sit back, sip some suds and crank out some food off of the Flame Pit. Things went sideways at 05:39 hrs with a call from the local constabulary for assistance with a pooch running loose on the freeway. It was an all day job with two call outs for the dog and a number of assisting actors. The beast was eventually caught and was reunited with its owner yesterday. All's well that ends.

     The next three weeks will be a bag drive. Stuff to do at the Wayward Inn.  Work to be done on the Mobile Wayward Inn. The structure over the Flame Pit has to be re-roofed. And I haven't even wet a line this year. I don't even have my Line Wetting Licence yet! Isn't that something. One good point is that both of the Couch Monkeys will be gainfully employed this summer. This will hopefully lighten the sticker shock of their higher education.

     And the pace of our summer activity will continue right through to September when I will be attending this year's squatching expedition to a place yet to be determined.

     Sometimes I feel that I'll retired only when I'm six feet under.
