Rule 5: Suellen Seckler

Texas reopening

Gov. Greg Abbott gave permission this afternoon for every local stay-at-home order to expire this Thursday. He’s also reopening this Friday, May 1, retail stores, movie theaters, malls and restaurants, limiting the number of customers and staff to 25 percent of occupancy. Social distancing and masks advised but not required.

Barbershops, hair and nail salons, bars and gyms can reopen later, May 18, two weeks away dammit, as my hair and toenails grow longer and shaggier. But it’s good to be getting the hungry back to work, and to begin to save the small businesses that have survived so far.

Thank you, KXAN for live broadcast of the guv, and Texas!

Biden: epitome of the inept white man

Lest we forget this brilliant, 2012 anti-Biden romp by Daniel Greenfield: “The Scarecrow of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.”

“Biden’s ego has made it impossible for him to understand the uses he has been put to. And that is part of the joke. Joe Biden wasn’t selected despite his penchant for saying stupid things in public. He was selected because of it. He is there to project incompetence in order to make Obama look better. He is there to make the idea of white male leadership look like a joke. That is his one and only job and he has succeeded at it.”

And we’re going to elect this Dim bulb over competent Orange Man? Ha ha.

Of plumbers and electricians

Had to issue fliers to all residents of our building about plumbers cutting off the water between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. tomorrow to replace a faucet that feeds the new fridge’s ice-maker. Ice just tastes bad with the existing, old and corroded faucet.

Now need to get an electrician in to replace some light bulbs with LEDs, and four ceiling fan blades that are just too high for us fogies to balance on a step-ladder, when our balance is fairly screwed up. Especially mine at age 76.

Rule 5: Ashley Alexxis

Crazy Nancy

Anyone who watched the Wuhan Virus briefing from the White House the other evening knows that Crazy Nancy told an astounding lie when she said the president advised virus-infected Americans to treat it by injecting Lysol into their lungs.

Even her supporters among the win-at-any-cost Dimocrats who watched the briefing know that Trump never even suggested that. Do they care? She’s heinous and despicable.

Waiting for the fridge

Not exactly “praying for sheetrock” but it’ll be fun having a new fridge, though it’s much like the old one except it’s white instead of black. Why would anyone want a black refrigerator? Due tomorrow from Lowe’s.

UPDATE:  I realize, because I think of them every day, that many people cannot even buy food, much less a new refrigerator. In my defense, I ordered the new fridge back in February when most of them were still employed. It took so long to get it because I ordered a white one.

MORE: Got it, but we have a water valve problem to the ice-maker. Need a plumber to switch it out. And stabilize the whole thing which is rocky. Lowe’s guys said they weren’t allowed to do that or touch the insides because of the WuFlu.
