Your and Truthie’s efforts are appreciated.

On to today:

The muscular fitness condition of my abdomen is “abhorrent.”

[Louis Foxwell]

As is mine. It has nothing to do with muscular, more like corpuscular.

I got here at last-with the mornings cooler than they usually are so late in Spring-it was 48 at 7am today-I took the opportunity to do the measuring for an estimate-a patio for a customer-rather than wait till Monday...

Those “victory celebrations”
By lawbreakers in Baltimore
May sour when the shop owners
Who are sensible even the score

Business insurance isn’t free-
Part of that coverage price
Requires their relocation so
A burning doesn’t happen twice

That means that they’ll reopen
In a less abhorrent neighborhood-
Whatever point those rioters made
Did the Baltimore economy no good...

Those fools don’t get that torching the city you live in isn’t going to do anything but turn the place into the Detroit du jour-I say let them have the place, and let’s see how they make a living without even a grocery store...

[Louis Foxwell]

Yes, they have. This time around the racist mongers will not get the desired result. This time the riots are manufactured by professional communist agitators and everyone is clear about that little fact. This time the democrat party is going to take one in the neck. Its back will end up as broken as Freddie Gray’s.
