A few things

 Let's start with this:  I apologize for no Wisdom Truck this week.  I thought I was still two weeks ahead, so the post I typed up this week, I scheduled for next week.  I should have checked the post date, and I didn't.

Which fits in with the rest of the day, as this is been the single stupidest day I ever experienced at my current job.  I won't try to explain, because I was there and I still don't understand.  I'll give you the least complicated example:  I have to use these blue markers when I cut the "white patch fabric" (which isn't what we call it, but this way you actually know what it is...).  They come in packs of one; which isn't all that bright, but you can roll with it since they last forever (on most things I need them for), and the things they need for anren't that common.  A couple weeks back, I told my boss (this would be the same guy who described today as "a s#!ts#0w") I needed more, so he told our company purchasing lady (in Missouri, land of the intellectually challenged from our company's standpoint), and she ordered them.  The question comes up now, did she screw up how she ordered them, or did the supplier simply "see us coming", because they arrived today.  Five single pack markers in  five SEPERATE shipping envelopes.  With five seperate postal charges we get hit with.

Like I said, that was the easiest stupidity to explain.  From there we climb the stupid stairs all the way to Einstein level WTFs.  I'll just let you imagine.

Then, just now I read that our lovely Congressional budget office announced that those of us on Social Security ( like Laurie) or dearly wishing they could afford to (like myself, especially this week) have a cold shock coming.  Because of all the money Congress has wasted on illegal immigrants put up in hotels, Minnesota Somali day care centers that don't actually exist, and Nancy Pelosi's insider trading network, we can expect our payouts to be CUT 7% coming very soon- and as much as 28% a year thereafter.

For those of you that hate Trump, this is what he's been trying to get rid of through DOGE and other investigations.  Democrat Jasmine Crockett is just the latest Congressperson caught taking SS payments in the name of dead relatives- Elon Musk found that SS was paying out to people that were allegedly 150+ years old!  But yeah, listen to your media when they tell you Orange Man Bad.

I don't know about you, but I would like to retire someday.  But politicians on both sides have milked the cow for so long, I'll have to calculate the date of the Rapture and subtract about two months to find out when I will safely be able to.

Okay, enough of that.  How about the weather?  According to radar, we are about five minutes out from an hour of the cow standing on the flat rock.

In case you didn't get that one...

And sometime tomorrow, the power company is going to turn off our complex for about an hour.  I think it's a Lenten observance or something.

In the meantime, the car that my son just got with his tax check is moments from blowing up after a week.  Apparently the lovely Ford Escape has a built in design flaw, that allows anti-freeze to get in the water pump, locks it up, and warps the head.  So now, just when my son had thought he'd finally at long last caught a break, the stupidity of auto manufacturers shoots him down.  Now you understand why a 79 year old man went ballistic and torched 4 cars about 4 Julys ago (not the same dealership) because they sold him a lemon they wouldn't take responsibility for.  Of course, he waited 36 years before getting his revenge, so if Fort Wayne Kia is in business still in 2062 (at which point we will be 100), they better look out.

And my new chip to replace the cheap-a$$ one that HP puts in my model computer came in, so either I will solve the problem this weekend, or you'll never hear from me again!

Just heard thunder. Think the rain is starting.
