So after 3 days of "chatting" with somebody who goes by ^KB via DM from @DHLUSA I sent a msg for an update. Matt responded, asking for the waybill number. Apparently staring over. Meanwhile my business is slowly dying as we await the lost part, now 10 days late, sent from Japan.
@DHLUS A critical part for my business shipped from Japan, cleared customs and is in the DHL sorting facility in Cincinnati for more than a week. NOBODY at DHL can tell me anything. No delivery date. I even offered to fly to pick it up. Impossible I was told. What!!?? Brutal.
Supposed to head to SoCal in a few weeks and tried to get an update on the Covid situation in Riverside County via the @latimes. No go unless I subscribe. Way to turn a public health crisis into cash @latimes. I believe the word is soulless.
I expect an awful day tomorrow, knowing that no matter how low my imagination goes, deplorable-in-chief DJT finds a way to go lower, even in defeat. And don't believe for a sec that once out of office that he will fade away. Brace yourself for the worst ever ex-president.
Some time in the next 3 weeks the DOJ will indict Biden or Harris on some trumped-up charge (this phrase finally makes sense) in an effort to stage a repeat of Comey's 2016 attack on Hillary Clinton. Trump will claim no knowledge while his deplorable crony Barr leads the charge.
Played Codenames with family last night. My son Simon gives the clue "Kubrick" to try and get me to select the word "bar" since the bar scene in The Shining is so iconic. Love the way his mind works.
A peaceful Thanksgiving morning moment. Gabrielle at gym, visiting kids still asleep and a bit of leftover whipped cream with cinnamon in my Lavazza. I hope you find your peace and joy today.
Any plans @XcelEnergyMN to paint the towers that sit on the beautiful Mississippi as it flows past downtown Minneapolis? They are quite the eyesore. #paintthetowers
Attending the Literary Loft's Wordsmith conference this weekend as I continue my pivot towards writing. Key take away is to secure a min of 10k Twitter followers before ANY agent or publisher will seriously consider your work. Only 9,963 to go.
@CityMinneapolis Abandoned car watch day 22. You have seen it, ticketed it and marked the tires. That was 10 days ago. It has a flat tire and smashed in window and sits at a meter. You can do better than this! 100 2nd St SE.
And now @Disney committing $5 million to Notre Dame. How about the 3 black churches torched in Louisiana? Is that rebuild effort somehow too controversial to align with? I am mystified.
Really @Apple? Notre Dame? Is that where your wealth is best spent? How about clean water in Flint, MI or housing for the homeless anywhere in the US? Do the French government and Catholic church really need your assistance on this one?
