Thur. Jan. 22, 2026 – don’t be a burden

By on January 22nd, 2026 in culture, decline and fall, march to war

Cool and very damp. Then at some point it will get cold. Cold I say. Freezing cold. Or maybe it won’t. We’ll see when we get there. Everyone here should be just fine with some extreme weather, and even some outages.

Didn’t get anything on my list done. Yep, good intentions, poor follow through. I spent some time in the rabbit hole of Social Security payouts. I spent some time on auction stuff. Spent the rest of the daylight hours getting my natgas gennie hooked up to the house. Not in any real or permanent way, but it’s safe and ok for now. Still a manual switchover if needed, but less messing around with the gasoline powered 26 year old Generac that I normally use if I have to feed the house.

Today, I’ve got some pickups to do. Well, one for sure, maybe two. Anything else will depend on the weather. If it’s not raining, I can get stuff moved around. If there’s moisture from the sky, I’ll find other things to do. Right. Sure I will.

Hard to be motivated even in the face of pretty certain need. I do have an issue with self sabotage and needing external deadlines to motivate me. It’s something to be aware of and to work on…

Easier to stack.

Get busy!

    Have I mentioned this season how tiresome the wind chill pron gets?

    If I want to vote, and don’t know anything else, I vote against the incumbent.  

    A vote against the incumbent in the Republican US Senate primary in March will get you James Tallarico as the first Dem Senator from Texas since Lloyd Bentsen.

    If you think it doesn’t matter, go back to the numbers from Georgia in 2020. 11,000 Georgia Libertarians “voting their conscience” ultimately gave control of the Senate to the Dems so they could implement the Plugs agenda.

    and don’t know anything else, 

    – missed the critical part.

    Mainly I apply it to judges if we haven’t gotten a cheat sheet from one of our political friends.  It’s the right choice in most Board of Directors elections too.

    61F this morning.   Damp.  Moist.  Dreary.   Coffee is ready though, and it’s delicious.
