![]() Good Thursday everybody. It’s been a weird spring here at The Compound. Not a lot of sunshine and abnormally cool temps. In fact, Happy Hands Morgan said last night that temps this May have run 3.5 degrees cooler than normal. I think that’s reflected in the plant growth here. I have noticed the tomatoes and melon plants have responding positively to the sunshine and warmer temps of the past few days. But, we’ve not had as much rain as we did last year. So this year there won’t be a Lake Mountebank just north of The Compound where last year we were renting out RV and camper spots and the Brother-in-Law lost so many marine craft. I may smoke a pork butt on Saturday. Cousin Fred is certainly keen on the idea. It’s a long process, but what the hell, there’s not much else to do. The problem is, I can’t find the BBQ sauce that I discovered when I was living on the East Coast. It’s not made its way out here yet. Too bad, it was soooooo good on pork. I could make my own, but I’m getting lazy in my advanced timeline so that’s not likely to happen. If anyone knows of a good store-bought sauce that can be found in these here parts, let me know. We’re waiting for the nod to head to California. Southern Living magazine has given us a contract to cover the primaries there on the 7th. Plus we have an open expense account for…ummmm…expenses. They obviously don’t know Cousin Fred and me very well, do they? I give it two, three days tops and we’ll corrupt the minder they’re sending along. We’ve not met this person yet…no idea if it’s a woman or a man, but we’re ready in either case. I had hoped to get to SoCal over the weekend, but Southern Living said they wouldn’t start paying the bills until the 2nd, so fine…I’m not writing anything for them until then. Which is a shame, because The Trump is already in Los Angeles making an ass of himself. During a recent speech in Anaheim, he was pounding on the Queen of the Unindicted (aka, Clinton2) for claiming she’ll make a better president because she has experience in government as the Secretary of State. Trump’s stand is that she was sleeping at 3AM when an important call came in and no one could reach her. The Trump never revealed exactly which crisis or event it was that someone was trying to reach her at 3AM. His stand is that he doesn’t sleep much, or as he put it, “I don’t sleep much. I don’t sleep much.” – he kept repeating that throughout his remarks (a true sign of sleep deprivation). The Huffington Post web site takes a lot of pride in its attempts to derail The Trump’s bid to become president. That’s interesting because the site tends to lean to the right. They published a list of things that can go wrong for people who don’t sleep much: 1) You’re more likely to be emotional. Can’t have an emotional President Trump when dealing with the likes of Vladimir Putin or Kim Jong-un, both leaders/despots completely in love with their nukes. 2) You have trouble focusing. Hmmmm…you know, in the biggest scheme of things this may not matter. After all, he can hire people to focus for him – hopefully they’re getting some sleep. 3) You’re more likely to make bad decisions. Uh huh, like which form to shape your hair into that day? 4) You have trouble with learning and memory. Again, not sure this would be a problem since The Trump apparently knows all…especially when it comes to women. 5) You might make less appropriate moral decisions. Hahahahaha…maybe that’s where Bill Clinton (aka, Clinton1) went wrong. 6) You feel stressed, angry, sad and mentally exhausted. Again, not anything that enough money couldn’t buy your way out of.
