Thur. Nov. 12, 2026 – jeez, month is almost half over

By on November 12th, 2026 in culture, decline and fall, march to war, personal, rats

And it should be clear today. And since Fall is here, not too hot. It was misty drizzle for part of yesterday, with a lot of water on the streets, so there must have been some locally heavy rain. The cooler temps are nice.

Did my stuff yesterday, which is detailed in the comments. Today I’ve got a pickup in Alvin, and the Ranger to work on. All the usual stuff too. Priority is to re-bait the rat poison boxes. They are getting bold out on the patio.

And tomorrow night I’ll be watching middle school kids sing and dance. D2 will be along too, to see her former teacher. Hopefully things will go well for my crew kids. Live entertainment is a powerful thing to be part of.

Community. Reputations. Being a known quantity and one that contributes. Good things, and solid preps for hard times.

Stacks too.

    Big day tomorrow, for SpaceX. Following the launch, and the try for orbit, they intend to catch both the booster and the ship. Even if this doesn’t work on the first try (and remember, they have already caught the booster once!), this is the next big step on the way to reusability.

    He was astonished to see the “waterfall” sonar spectrum in the background in HFRO, it was top secret when he was  in.

    Once stuff is classified, it is rarely declassified, even after it has become common knowledge for anyone who cares.

    A few nuclear cruise missiles should take care of this problem if it really exists.

    Putin must also be tempted. One nuke over Kiev, and his “special military operation” would be over.

    Thankfully, no one wants to open that particular Pandora’s box.

    ”dithering about whether to go there or stay here for various work obligations and other appointments. Current compromise seems to be work today, then travel tomorrow.”

    Ten years from now whatever was so important at work will not be remembered.

    Precisely what I said, but W1 needs to take her own decisions.

    I would give everything I have to see or speak to my late parents one more time, but that realisation is hard for someone who has not yet been bereaved.
