Sunday Morning Sip

Good Sunday to you, all!

 

 AI generated content. How do I know?

That cup would NEVER have 

enough time to sit and steam before 

I would down it...

 

 

Oh... so, so close.  

 

And if the dog gets hungry enough, 

it will eat straw. 

 "I'M NOT FARTING!  That's the fucking C-PAP mask!!!"

 

AI, defined. 

 

Thank you, Wiley! 

 

But let's keep voting for this. 

Indeed! 

 

Yes, 'Meanderthal'. 

I wonder if I could just go there to use the bathroom?

 

 

Thank you, again, Wiley! 

 

 

Let's leave on some Bette!

Long, tall, hot... cup... (sigh)

"If only someone would have warned me..."

 

 

Ah.... Jason.

Thank you, Wiley!

9/11

 Where were you on the morning of 9/11?

The morning of September 11, I was sitting in my home office in St. Petersburg FL, awaiting a conference call to begin.  Several folks were on the conference bridge ahead of schedule, and we started chatting about how our weekends went.  Then someone mentioned "...something happened at the World Trade Center...  wow!  Looks horrible!"  I turned on the TV and put on CNN just in time to see this...

Our call quickly ended as we became rapt with fear and sadness. Absolute shock.  

From Britannica, "...September 11 attacks, series of airline hijackings and suicide attacks committed in 2001 by 19 militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda against targets in the United States, the deadliest terrorist attacks on American soil in U.S. history. The attacks against New York City and Washington, D.C., caused extensive death and destruction and triggered an enormous U.S. effort to combat terrorism." 

The devastation... to the city, to our country, to our democracy... is a scar that will never fully heal.  It is not to be celebrated... (Vance) or crudely self-fictionalized (Trump)... it is to be held in solemn and quiet contemplation. 

As I am fond of closing,

Onward.

Waffles is out!

 Rhode Island Democratic Primary; McKee has been unseated as Governor.

He was Lt. Governor under Gina Raimondo.  We liked Gina, but she got hired into the Biden administration, and Waffles ascended into the top stop.  Why "waffles"?  Don't get me wrong, Dan is a nice guy, just... he watches the wind too much and changed his mind on a lot of issues based on popular opinion rather than if an action actually serves Rhode Island.  In recent years, he's just become... inert.  

Helena Foulkes... I sort of like her.  The ONE sour note I had with her is that she is the ex-CEO of CVS.  Can you say "big pharma"?   But she is a "born and raised" Rhode Islander, unlike Ashley Kalis (R), a carpetbagger / transplant who ran against McKee six years ago.  I will get behind Helena in the November election. 

The November election is Helena's to lose.  We are a DEEP BLUE state and we like our locals to ascend into leadership.   

Sadly, Brett Smiley lost as incumbent in the Providence mayoral election to David Morales, whom I likened to "Snidely Whiplash". 

 

Brett also came out of the Raimondo camp; he was her Chief of Staff.  Providence did well by him; a lot of positive development.   But the Providence election was for Providence, not the rest of us.  I'll just keep an eye on Morales and see what he does to or for the city.

I know it worked yesterday, I added a couple more days to my November pre-posting while waiting for something to come into my inbox.  I'm sure it will be resolved in a day or so.
