Zzzzzzzzzzz:
Yes, it is, the slow days of summer we feel
Where moisture is high
And the stultification is real.
Where we have lost some energetic zeal.
These days of watching weeds grow;
When once green fields lose their glow.
So, think of slowin’ down,
Put languorousness to use,
And avoid overheated exercise abuse.
Every once in a while, a melodic solo piano piece comes out of my radio to touch my heart. You know it when you feel it.
Let’s hope the speechifying Congress people let the Tach execs actually answer questions and respond to criticisms.
I have heard a lot funny things coming out of Washington, but just plain laugh out loud funny is Gerry Nadler accusing somebody of pursuing political objectives.
Probably the worst thing for the image of America are televised congressional hearings. People vote for these clowns.

The discussion about the new stimulus package is all about what Senators think they need to approve in order to get votes in November. Pure and simple.
An awful lot of people really love burritos. I wonder why?
I worry about emails that come in written in oriental script.
You have to wonder how well Airbnb’s are being disinfected.
The teacher had just finished telling the class that guns kill. Jeffery in the front row looked up excited. The teacher, smiling, asked, “What is it Jeffery!” “I just realized,” said Jeff, “it is my pencil that’s making me fail tests.’
Joe says he is about to name his VP. New reports say Susan Rice is moving up in the big Blair House round robin. Which is odd because she is the documented villain of Benghazi. But the DC undercurrent is saying that she is a Biden/Obama fave and now in the race with Kamala and Elizabeth. Now, people don’t vote for VP’s, but they do give the opposition something to pick at. Ask Sarah Palin.
The way Wall Street has snubbed its nose at General Electric, you might think it is out of business. It is about to report Q2 revenue of $17.23 Billion. Which would be bigger than GM, Boeing. General Electric is not what it was for sure, but with 2019 revenue of $105+Billion, it is still an entity. And perhaps its reorganization for a future is taking a toll on profits. I’m not one to keep good old companies alive to satisfy some kind of sentimentality, but I wrote a major college paper on GE (In two days of all-nighters), so it is a part of my heart. And I hope they find away.
AG Barr proved that speaking in a controlled voice is far more effective than manic lecturing.
Gorsuch and Kavanaugh Seem to be seeking independence from the White House. That’s good for the Supreme Court. It is the way it should be.
The cat ate some cheese and waited for a mouse with baited breath.
Congress is like a college student and term papers. They wait til the last minute to get tings done. So, forget the daily angst reports over Stimulus spending. They still have almost 3 days. A lifetime for a congress person.
