That’s how long the new White House press secretary lasted. I’m not surprised but I won’t go any further into it except that when you hire people, you need to do at least a minimal background check. Not just “will you vow total loyalty to me, your god-king?”

Landfill twitter play. Cast: KW (Kayak Woman) and the GG (her long-suffering husband). Setting: Landfill Chitchen.

KW: Do you know what a scarramucci is?
GG: It’s a person isn’t it?
KW: It is a person but it is also a unit of time. It is 11 days, the length of time Anthony Scarramucci held the job of White House Communications Director.
GG: [genuine giggle]
GG: What is that song? Where they sing about Scarramucci?
KW: I think it is Bohemian Rhapsody and I think it is “scaramouche” in the song.

I can’t remember why Scarramucci annoyed me so much back in 2017 but I do remember what I was doing when I received the news (on my phone) that he had been fired. After 11 days. I was photographing a moominbeach road prodject in progress. The moominbeach cabin road is a gravel two-track that requires a lot of maintenance and, on this day, four generations of the FinFam plus some friends of our family triplets helped with this.

The prodject was spearheaded by Mayor Pete (my cousin’s husband) and their son Judd (our next-door cousin) drove the truck. That guy in the suspenders is My Dear Uncle Harry. He was in his 90s at the time (still alive now at 99) and you could not keep him away from this prodject. I didn’t help. I was gainfully employed (telecommuting) at the time and walked down the beach and up to the road through Mayor Pete’s yard to take pictures.

I do remember that my opinion of Scarramucci rose exponentially when he jokingly turned his 11 days of working for Trump into a unit of time. I don’t know much about him other than that but I seem to remember that his wife filed for divorce over the whole thing and he chose her over Trump. Good on him. Not sure about the bitcoin or whatever it is he’s promoting now.

So here is a video of Bohemian Rhapsody. I certainly remember this song and Queen’s “Killer Queen” was an anthem for me as a young woman. I dunno who I thought I was but it wasn’t what I turned out to be… (LOLOLOL)

I don’t remember when Bohemian Rhapsody switched over into the classic it has become. I think I was busy with babies during that time? If you want to see a really cool version of it, here’s where Green Day is prepping a concert and their huge outdoor audience starts to sing Bohemian Rhapsody in unison.
