Just an update on recent pursuits within the Pokemon Go circuit dear diary.
I have captured zero Pokemons.
I also maintain zero interest in capturing Pokemons or any of Pokey鈥檚 friends.
I did pick up a weather forecast on a phone app. and also read a neat Sports Illustrated story about the post football life and times of 鈥淩efrigerator鈥� Perry, that former Chicago Bear lineman.
So I captured one refrigerator on my phone. Does that count on the Pokey Go scorecard?
If I understand this correctly, if you capture all the pretend characters, you get a free virtual trip to Pokeville? That includes all the virtual expenses paid using unmined Bit Coins?
Chasing these characters on a screen appears about as exciting as trying to swat a fly, all around the neighbourhood, with a rolled up copy of the Mercury.
At least the game requires the user to move somewhere. Mind you, they don鈥檛 get to notice where they are in near reality terms, but at least they are moving. That鈥檚 a positive sign there is still a light on somewhere.
Moving on to the next topic.
I understand a good swack of federal employees have not been getting paid at all while others are not getting compensation for overtime hours. It seems the shared services IT files were messed up and the IT group that was responsible for the mess had to hire other IT groups to extricate them from the IT hole.
I believe the whole issue would have been settled long ago if only a couple of senators or a half dozen MPs had missed a paycheque.
The reaction would have been swift and loud, and the problem would have been solved overnight, if not sooner by the Sunny Ways Sequal team of troubleshooters.
I鈥檓 not sure about you dear diary, but I didn鈥檛 know whether to laugh or cry last Thursday night as I listened and watched Donny Trump decide he was the chosen one to take on all global issues and have them solved by Valentines Day 2017.
Scary or laughable? I couldn鈥檛 decide, because Donny wasn鈥檛 exactly filling in a lot of gaps with his hour and a half of pronouncements as to why he needed to fix the World on behalf of the greatest nation on Earth 鈥� East Timor, or the U.S.A., I wasn鈥檛 sure.
He talked about sending many, many, many troops somewhere to put an end to ISIS 鈥渋mmediately.鈥� Then on Monday, he was going to fix the mangled American healthcare system before lunch and set his sights on putting every American back to work while getting rid of all the illegal immigrants by Wednesday evening before settling down to a good old pulled pork barbecue with his adorable extended family.
Of course he will have to take the oath of office first. That will be administered en masse by the Robertson family of Duck Dynasty fame, it seems.
By his computations, by the third week of his administration, the job of presidency will be complete and Donny will be able to sit back and rake in additional cash and adoration.
What really struck me as frightening, is that on a few occasions during his Thursday pontifications, I actually thought he was being serious! I surely hope he was just yanking the chains of those downtrodden followers.
Oh, and by the way Canada, Donny wants to dump the North American Free Trade Agreement just for the hell of it it seems, so maybe we shouldn鈥檛 be laughing out loud at this stage of this comedic production. After all, he knows where we live 鈥� I think.聽
