The topic: So, we’re watching the news tonight
----------------------------------------------

and a report comes on about the robber bankers on Wall Street. Goldman Sachs. They’re giving out salaries and bonuses over sixteen BILLION dollars this year. After the bailout. They made record profits last year.

To put that amount of money in perspective, it came out to close to a half a million dollars per employee. Now, you and I both know that Rachel, the receptionist or Annie, the adminstrative assistant, won’t be taking home that kind money. That’s going to the top of the pyramid, the top thieves, those people who think they’re entitled. Well, screw you, I’m entitled, too, I’m an awesome Fish Wrangler on FaceBook, where’s my share?

Anyway, Brian said we should call tomorrow and ask if they have any job openings. Doesn’t matter doing what, we’ll wash windows, scrub toilets, whatever needs to be done. And, hey, you don’t even have to pay us! Just give us that half mil bonus at the end of the year and we’ll be happy. We could live for ten years on a million dollars, you know?

Rat bastards.

That’s what we’ve got. We’ve gotten a half inch of rain since midnight.

Wake up this morning to strong winds and rain and it’s supposed to get worse as the day goes on. This is what could really be considered a “weather event”, not the occasional drizzling morning (which always made me laugh).

Tuesday afternoon, our power was out for three hours, which sucked because I’m on a quest right now on FB Fish Wrangler.

Our trees are loving this. The strong winds are cleaning out the needles (and nice that this storm, they’re blowing in the direction of our house, not the neighbor’s). And there is the occasional small branch coming down, as well as pine cones. When they hit the roof it’s very loud, scary. The cats aren’t happy with it either.

These storms aren’t pleasing the cats because they’re stuck inside. And poor Bart, who I believe isn’t sliding, but diving into his dotage, will sit by the door and cry to go out. He can hardly get around (I was slacking on his MSM) and he wants to go outside? Sorry, I can’t let that happen. He’s already got a cold. His nose was runny, but this morning the output has turned goopy. Probably start him on antibiotics.

Looks like we’ll get a break on Sunday and Monday, then a possibility of more rain next week.

Amazing.
