Doing what will almost certainly be the last mowing and trimming of the year. We’ve decided to hold off on listing our current house and starting construction on the new house. If Rmoney wins, there’s a good chance I’ll be out of of a job, being that I’m still Career-conditional without tenure as I have less than three years in the federal civil service. If Obama wins, I’m good to go. If Rmoney wins but the Dems keep the Senate, I’m good to go. But I’m holding what I’ve got for now at least until after the election. If Rmoney wins and the the Senate flips (very unlikely, I know) then all bets are off. Not only will my position be most likely liquidated when they destroy the Department of Veteran’s Affairs, cut disability payments and voucher out the healthcare, but whatever job I do find will have my taxes go up because we have to give tax cuts to billionaires and the only way to do that is to raise income taxes on the middle class, like me. The Zombie-eyed Granny Starver will have his blood, and his bought and paid for stooge will do what he’s told-which he’d do anyway.
But other than those heavy thoughts with which I find myself occupied, it’s a beautiful day here in Oklahoma City for doing that fall lawn care.
Oh, yeah–here’s that open thread I mentioned.
