The current state of things

This was yesterday’s daily cartoon on the New Yorker site. It was made by Julia Suits.
Other similar New Yorker cartoons that I’ve covered before:
- “Those smug pilots have lost touch with regular passengers like us. Who thinks I should fly the plane?”
- “It says our health insurance is being replaced by a series of tweets calling us losers.”
- “Sure, he’s Satan, Prince of Darkness, King of Hell, Lord of Lies, the deceiver, bringer of evil and temptation, but he’s not afraid to say what people are thinking.”
- “Before we discuss raising taxes on the poor and middle class, adding $1 trillion to the deficit, taking health insurance away from 1.3 million, raising insurance premiums by 10 percent, defending treason, and swearing in a pedophile, let’s begin with a prayer.”
- In honor of MLK Day 2018
Thanks to Jeannie Cool for the find!

Someone at the office brought leftovers from a Daytona 500-themed party.

Me: It is a manatee! Oh, I could throw some nice parties on this patio. Great view, nice newly-built seawall, good pavers…
By the bye, it just occurred to me. We looked through the house and didn’t see a laundry room. Did we miss it? Oh, it’s here? Where?
OH HELL NO.

Still on clearance!

You probably aren’t surprised that this bargain at my local Publix — which I wrote about in a post dated January 22nd — still hasn’t sold.

This happened on Tuesday at Boca Royale in Englewood. Both the optimist and Floridian in me are saying “Oh, cool! You get to make a bank shot!”
