So it was sunny and hot and sunny and humid for the last few days, and it looks like it will be sunny and hot and sunny and humid for the next few days. We’re nestled right up against 100F every afternoon, and it’s really humid, but it’s still cooler than several of the last few years. We aren’t ‘doing it by the 10s’ yet, 80F at 8am, 90F at 9am, and 100F at 10am… and it does feel nice in the shade toward evening, if there is any breeze at all.
Did my driving around and my pickups. Chatted with a few people. Went to the shop and scrapped out some more pieces of the lappy stand/cart/C.O.W. medical things. I had a pile I need to move to make room for stuff, and I might as well get a couple of bucks for it. It won’t be much because it’s steel, but it’s better than nothing and better than sending it to the landfill. I’ll drop off the truck load first thing today.
Speaking of today, couple of pickups? Maybe, maybe not. Depends on what I decide to do about going to the BOL. Two of them are on the way to the BOL and I can put them off until Monday, if I wait until then to head out. Save some time, gas money, and tolls. Win for me and the planet. Assuming the planet cares at all, which it doesn’t, because we’re like gnats on an elephant.
In any case, I’ll be working on stuff, avoiding work on other stuff, and stacking. Just like you!

the federal law forbidding guns in Post Offices.
– remember that this was a bad law, (fairly) recently enacted, in response to a POSTAL EMPLOYEE shooting people. There is no reason to honor any precedent set by this POS law. It banned carry by people who DIDN’T DO the shooting, because they could. And extending it to the parking lot is extra bad as it effectively bans carry during your entire trip to and from the PO.
ALL gun laws that restrict ownership or use are un-Constitutional. ALL OF THEM. The founders were perfectly capable of writing in exceptions and conditions where they wanted them, and they didn’t.
yes, that means felons can have guns. Yes, crazy and divorcing people too. Even wife beaters. you have to accept the negatives with the positives because the 2A is absolute. And there has to be swift justice available too, almost any crime of any real seriousness was a capital offense at the time.
Yup. Yup. Yup. And Yup.

I am worn out. I converted about 8,000 lines of Fortran code to C++ today. Oh wait, that was mostly yesterday.
