The Show's Not Over Yet . . .

It seems that every time I think a problem has passed, it comes back big time.  And that has led me to start using a certain saying . . .

Last night I reported that Congress had approved a COVID relief package that funs the government through September. Now Trump wants to blow it up by adding more money to relief checks, which Democrats want and Republicans don't want, even after he hadn't been involved in the negotiations.

I had trouble getting to the post office to mail our monthly utility bills, but the electricity bill went through all right, and I could bathe a sigh of relief. Except that the cable bill - for the service that gives us the Internet, television broadcasts and telephone service - still hasn't processed twelve days and counting since I mailed it and the due date is tomorrow.

We were the victims of credit card fraud, but we got new cards to replace the canceled ones.  Except that my mother had to cancel the replacement for her card due to a computer glitch and she's been waiting for the replacement for the replacement for a week and counting.  And I started getting signed up for money transfer series I never heard of, which I had to report.

We had a big snowstorm last week, but we got through it all right.  So we can enjoy Christmas, right? Maybe not.  Tomorrow night we're expected to get heavy rain and strong winds that could give us the electrical outage we thought we might get in the snowstorm.  The rain is more precipitation than the snow had been (two inches, whereas the foot of snow we got was comparable to an inch of rain), and the winds could gust up to 45 or 50 miles an hour.
