Wed. Dec. 10, 2025 – Louis Prima, Louis Jordan, Louis Armstrong… all the Louis

By on December 10th, 2025 in culture, decline and fall, march to war

Cool, like jazz. But moist, like cake. And clear, if I get my way. Dunno if the universe will feel like it though. It got into the 60sF yesterday and I took off my jacket and overshirt when I started sweating… but only in the sun. Shaded areas were still cold.

I did auction stuff in the morning, then a pickup in the afternoon. I took one load of stuff from storage to shop, but I’ve got a half dozen more to do, and nowhere in the shop to put the stuff. I have been just dumping stuff in, but will need to organize it a bit better to make room for the rest of it. Crazy.

Took the truck to the mechanic but he begged off until Thursday afternoon. He had some emergency work to do on two cars and his bays were full. I’m ok, it’s running and driving ok. I can wait.

When I got home I put out some more decorations.

Today I’ll do more of the same. I can put out some inflatables, and hang some lights. I can also move the stuff at the shop, and take another load there. It would be nice to get my shopping done for the non-prepping hobby potluck, and get my white elephant gifts wrapped too. Kids both have other commitments so it’s just me and the wife. They kids usually enjoy the dinner and gifts. The guys look forward to seeing them, as they’ve grown up attending, and they work the yearly show with me.

Oh, well, time passes and kids grow.

And stacks age out, so go through your stuff and start replacing the breakage. The good stuff isn’t gonna stack itself.

    Wednesday. Breakfast time.

    Testing “Fruit & Fibre” cereal from Aldi. It looks and tastes indistinguishable from the Kellogg’s product of the same name.

    The get-up of the packaging is so close to the original that I can only surmise Aldi and Kellogg’s have entered into some kind of licensing plus brand sales deal. I suppose it is better for K to sell some reboxed product to A, than to have A commission another manufacturer to make a competing product, on which K earns zero.

    Tasty. I added an overripe banana, because I have no chickens who would enjoy it.

    Smetana’s “Moldau” on the radio. Fresh tea. Almost as good as a holiday.

    Have a beautiful Wednesday!
