Cool and clear again. Yea! I’m all for another day like yesterday. Cool, dry by Houston standards, and then warm later. It was beautiful to drive around with the windows down and be comfortable. Moar!
I didn’t get anywhere near the number of things done that I wanted to get done. I did pickup two auctions, stop by my secondary location and load up the truck with either scrap or salvage, and visit the chiropractor. There were a couple of kid taxi duties in there too. Kid2 is suddenly scatterbrained. I blame boys.
Today I’ve got a plan. Costco for a TV, then The Woodlands for a pickup (the cheater selling fake trijicons), then my client to install said TV, then a pickup on the way home, and finally a visit to the bone crack quack.**
We’ll see what the universe throws in my path.
It’s all about preps and money, which is a prep too.
Stack what you can. It’s getting spicy.

Not sure what brought that up, but whatever. I got to sleep 2300 or so, a bit early.
And was woken at 0320 because the aide needed help with the m-i-l. Wife’s in the hospital again (for something minor three days ago which turned into “uh, we’d better admit you”). Dealt with that (which required a little bit of muscle but mostly a little bit of common sense, which she appears to lack) and, well, I guess I’m awake.
I know, right? It’s like the airlines are deliberately trying to be jerks and make our lives miserable.
Good luck with the bone crack quack et cetera.
TGIF. This was a hard week. Fortunately, I have some time off next week. I’m going to Iceland tomorrow to visit a family member. I’ve never been, so am looking forward to it. Posting might be light.
A bit of historical trivia. The principal reason the Icelanders can read and write is that their viking forebears raided monastic medieval Ireland for treasure and to capture concubines. The women were educated and literate, as was customary in Gaelic Ireland. They taught their Icelandic children, especially their daughters, to read and write, and those skills were passed down from mother to daughter. Iceland today has an estimated rate of over 99% literacy.
Have an excellent day!
Mornin’, Chicken Boy. Sorry to hear of your domestic travails, and I hope you can get some rest.
Just so. Especially when the Scian Fada would be just the ticket for dealing with annoying fellow passengers who don’t want to understand personal space.
I am in Ybor City right now, and the Chávez news is blowing people’s minds. Their tears are real. 🙂
You folks from cold places (SteveF and Denis) are welcome to come to Florida (way colder than normal) to pursue your duel. I would recommend the Katana, but I only have one. The eventual loser can choose between a couple of Civil War officer’s swords.
In other news, there are a lot of homeless chickens here, so it would be pretty easy to increase one’s flock.
In other news, there are a lot of homeless chickens here, so it would be pretty easy to make fried chicken!
FIFY and thanks for the kind invitation 🙂
Alas, I have, to my shame, no sword*, and even if I did have one, I believe they are frowned upon in intercontinental travel baggage.
My dad had my grandfather’s sword hanging on the hallway wall. One of my nephews now has it. It is a small rapier, looks totally ornamental. Probably from when my grandfather was in the Corp of Cadets at Texas A&M in 1928 to 1932.
57F. A bit tired this morning. MIGHT try for a short nap, as I realize I can’t really do any of my tasks until 10am anyway. Back feels close to normal, so that’s good.
I just got a smile on my face when I heard the dog shake his head in the other room. I can hear it because his ears slap against his head….. soft floppy ears.

D2 is amassing quite the collection of pointy stabby things. I never had a sword, nor did my dad, but my wife has a couple of rapiers from a stage combat class… and I’ve been buying the kid “fantasy” and “decorative” sword like objects as well as the occasional real sword.
She’s also got plastic versions of several classic styles for practice or just whooping on her friends.

“Charming Ryan Gosling tries to save the Earth in Project Hail Mary”
https://houston.culturemap.com/news/entertainment/project-hail-mary-ryan-gosling/
“The same is true for Weir’s 2021 novel, Project Hail Mary, now a film starring Ryan Gosling. Gosling plays Dr. Ryland Grace, who opens the film waking up from an induced coma, alone on an interstellar spaceship named the Hail Mary. As his foggy mind clears, he — and the audience — learn that he was recruited to help an initiative to save the world after it’s discovered that a mysterious phenomenon is causing the sun to cool down, threatening all life on Earth.”
Which rather explains why Nick is so circumspect about waking his offspring!
I have a modest collection of shooty bangy things, but buying those too frequently is (a) expensive and (b) bad for domestic harmony, so I sometimes go for pointy stabby things instead. I bought two Skeans from Tod Cutler recently. Looking forward to seeing them.
Alas, the two pocketknives a friend was bringing back from the US (A.G. Russell) for me recently went missing along with his whole family’s checked luggage. I expect neither bags nor knives will ever be seen again by their rightful owners. If he had told me he was going to be flying British Airways (spit…!), I would have had Russell’s post the goods to me instead. My friend is a gentleman; he had paid for the knives in the US, and he refuses to take the money from me, saying it is his responsibility they were lost.
“Socialist Suicide Begets Radical Islam”
https://texasscorecard.com/podcasts/socialist-suicide-begets-radical-islam/
“Europe has fallen; will we allow ourselves to be next?”
“An insane number of young Americans seem to think socialism works. The global reality tells a very different story, but not necessarily the one you think.”
“We expect that socialism destroys economies. And it does, everywhere. But that’s not all that it destroys.”
“In the United States, Mississippi is the brunt of most every economic joke. It is the nation’s poorest state. And yet, Mississippi’s per capita GDP is higher than that of Europe’s five largest economies, except Germany. Even between the two, Germany and Mississippi are in a dead heat.”
“People romanticize living in socialist Europe like children wanting their home to be a candy store. The cry of “Free candy!” from children who have never had to work to pay for it is little different from adults demanding that they be provided “free health care.””
“In reality, it isn’t free. Worse, it is deadly. Again, not entirely the way you think.”
“As socialism devours cultures, Islamification steps in to reanimate the corpse in the Sharia-proscribed horror demanded by its false god.”
I was totally freaked out by the traffic issues surrounding our five local mosques for Ramadan this year. Many hundreds of vehicles trying to get into small parking spots.
Texas is becoming islamic. I suspect that we will get our first islamic judge or county judge very soon.
Everywhere is becoming islamic. And not by accident.
I have one neighbor, couple blocks away, that puts out islamic yard decorations. I’m sure there are others keeping a lower profile. We’re about 2 miles from a big mosque/indoctrination center/ halal meat market. Over the last few years, it’s become common to see them in man dresses walking to the mosque on Friday.
Once they hit 10% in an area, they start to become visible and start making demands.

Odd isn’t it, how all the pictures showing exposed buttocks, they are all negros.
Maybe we don’t need dress codes. Maybe we need segregation.
Whatever. I don’t want to see any butt with cellulite dimples.
I woke up crabby. Need coffee.
With the exception of our last trip to Europe, we have always had something stolen out of our luggage. Nothing expensive. A cheap flashlight, a bottle of hand lotion. Small items. No notice in the luggage about inspection but it was obvious that the contents were manhandled because things were not quite like we packed them. TSA or baggage handlers? Take your pick.
On the return trip from Germany and Norway, where I was taken to a separate room and told to strip to my underwear, I am convinced it was not random. I suspect it might be due to the contents of my luggage which contained six kilos of Gummi Bears. There was no evidence any of the packages were compromised. Or I looked like someone, or my name matched someone, that the authorities were interested.
I have never been searched by customs at any destination, foreign or domestic. Do they already know the contents?
Kill, convert, or extract tribute.
Nothing has changed.
TSA.
I’m not sure about other airports, but in Tampa they have their own building to “inspect” luggage, the Remote Baggage Sorting facility on airport maps.
Anytime we fly out of Tampa, something disappears from a suitcase, and someone checks my Wahl shaver to see if it is a Braun or another model worth stealing.
While I doubt it will happen in my lifetime, when Brightline connects to Tampa Airport, the station will replace the “sorting” building.

That’s because Millennials and Zoomers are being taken care of by their Boomer parents. I do that because I love my kids. Why work when your parents provide for you?

To be fair, unless you were there and looked around for yourself, all you’re seeing is what the photographer or editor choose to see you. It’s something to be mindful of whenever a news story* causes a reaction.

Noticing is racist!
— first thing I noticed too. There is a comment in the article saying that all the pix posted on social media seem to be fat girls, when she knows there are attractive thin girls dressed inappropriately, and she calls it more about “fat shaming” than propriety. Ok, shame away. Women try to shame men all the time.
Someone quoted also wants standards for men upheld vigorously too , and my thought was “this ain’t the San Fran pride parade with hundreds of guys in assless chaps”. Show me ONE pic of a man dressed inappropriately, I’ll show you 10 of women.
The article also blames out of towners here for Spring Break for the worst behaviors. I’m sure that is part of it. There is something special about the way Houstonians regard the Rodeo that borders on the weird. Most people get “dressed up” to go, and not like they’re going to a club on Cowboy Theme night.
Want to expose the lie? Tell a woman she looks like Lizzo.

Today’s Mint weirdness is clicking on a icon on the task bar does not minimize the window. It open another instance. Clicking the minimize icon in a program’s tool bar does not minimize the window, it closes the program.
Annoying isn’t the word I need here.
It’s not a huge deal with T-bird but with FF it is annoying. I just lost 12 tabs I was about to read.
And I had to re-type this comment, too.
Tampa has the Gasparilla Pirate Invasion, which is a similar weird dress up event for the city elites. Out-of-towners get blamed for behavior issues there too, but it isn’t an easily accessible event if you don’t really know your way around that section of the city, the priciest real estate in the region.
Well, Costco only has cheap Sony TVs online this month. DOUBLE if you want to walk in and walk out. So my day got simpler as I’ll be headed to my client’s house next week.
Guess I can put my ratty work clothes back on.

MATE or Cinnamon?
I run MATE, but Cinnamon is the preferred desktop that the development team pushes.
In theory, adding the other desktop is simple, but you know how that goes.
In theory …
Swords and long edged weapons could probably be transported “hidden” in checked golf bags.
I have several swords myself. One is an entirely-decorative Naval Officer’s uniform sword; pretty, with no edge, and probably brittle. I bought a Japanese sword set, a katana and wakizashi, again, as a decorative pair. And in the Philippines, I bought a functional long sword made from automobile spring steel. THAT one, I have great confidence would not break! And another decoration, purchased in Spain, with the blade guard supposedly in the style used by El Cid.
I have long been fascinated with edged weapons. In college, I needed to take a PE class; I chose fencing. Fun, but I was generally terrible at it. Good thing I’ll never need to defend myself using a blade!
Cinnamon. Maybe I screwed it up when I clicked whatever and reset the taskbar panel. No clue.

“Victor Davis Hanson Puts Iran Operation Into Historic Perspective – Compares Trump to Churchill (VIDEO)”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/victor-davis-hanson-puts-iran-operation-historic-perspective/
“Hanson makes the point that when Churchill was trying to warn the world about Germany, he was largely ignored by other leaders and suggests that a similar thing is happening with Trump and Iran.”
“He also points out that all of Trump’s recent predecessors have said that they wished they had dealt with the problem of Iran while they were in office. The difference is that Trump is actually doing it.”
Clinton and Obama were never going to touch Iran, and Shrub still had the family dynasty to consider 20 years ago.
Ironically, Clinton Defense Secretary William Perry championed the F117 when he was an appointee to DoD under Carter, a plane with one mission which it completed at the beginning of the war earlier this month,
Yeah, the F117 goes back that far.
Ok. Two missions, but Khadafy cut a deal with Shrub.
I have my grandfathers sword – he was a Coastguard officer in the 20’s – 50’s.
It never had an edge put on it, he told my father that they had a total of an afternoons instruction on it, which was basically about how to draw, salute, and sheathe it without looking too clumsy.
Although he saw boarding actions in the prohibition era, they used Tommy guns and Model 1911’s.
tRump has nothing to lose by dealing with Iran. He could cure cancer, and the Dumbocrats would still hate him because he is not one of the Good Ole Boys who deserve to run the country.
Iran is the biggest sponsor of Islamo-Terror in the World. The Mooslims want the Caliphate.
More importantly, Trump had never held elected office nor been a cabinet member or part of any government bureaucracy, the first since Washington. Four (Washington, Taylor, Grant, and Eisenhower) were never part of the non-military bureaucracy but Eisenhower, as a career general, was as much a part of the establishment as GHW Bush.
Much to the contrary, as a real estate developer, Trump was impacted constantly by the sloth, incompetence, pettifogging, greed, corruption, and empire building of elected officials and bureaucrats. Rather than going along with “this is the way things are done” and not upsetting applecarts, Trump sees “the way things are done” as something to be broken or worked around or at least ignored.
Put another way, Trump, unlike his predecessors, never put in his time becoming part of the system. Some call it “paying one’s dues”. I call it “being co-opted”.
No wonder they hate him.
I tend to use the term “system capture”. Any complex system requires, as a cost of entry, that entrants accept the premises the system is based on to define eventual success. Those who don’t are limited in the progress they can make. Coming in at the top rather than the bottom invalidates those working their way up by ‘the rules’ and makes them willing to sabotage the high-level entrant. Like getting an outside hire as a manager instead of even a hated co-worker, resentment builds and productivity tends to drop.
Exceptions are just that, and depend on the outsider demonstrating results that are advantageous to the incumbents.
Americans are weenies about gas prices, however.
if gas goes above $5/gal, the Republicans will lose the Midterms.
That’s because they are spineless and any loss is on them. tRump is done in 3 years and couldn’t care less. The Redumblicans are struggling to pass the SAVE act because they have no spine. It will be funny if Senator Uncle Festerman is the YES vote that passes it.
Some Redumbo’s think Festerman is with them. He isn’t. He is a classic liberal who will reach across the aisle on common-sense items. He is a Dumbrocrat.
“Female Secret Service Agent Who Didn’t Secure Roof of AGR Building at Butler Rally on Day of Trump Assassination Attempt Suspended AGAIN – Hid Marriage to Foreign National”
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/03/secret-service-agent-who-didnt-secure-roof-agr-2/
“President Trump also banned Perez from getting anywhere near him.”
Wait, she was not fired for failing to protect Trump ?
Are we living in a universe that the Secret Service is so incompetent but they cannot be fired ?
Union? Short-handed?
The SS is reportedly understaffed but I don’t see any breakdown of desk jockeys, uniformed service, and protective detail.
I knew a guy who went into the uniformed SS Police right out of the Marine Corps. ASAFP he got onto a midwestern city police force.
Couldn’t get out of DC fast enough.
When I was getting off of Army active duty, I sent my resume around to a handful of government agencies. Considering what I’d done in the Army, it made sense to continue to make use of the training and experience.
Secret Service was one that I contacted who got back to me. They thought they’d have me start as a uniformed guard, GS-7, and I could see about qualifying to get promoted. Right. I’d performed successful covert operations, had conducted investigations, and was also an electrical engineer with experience in electronic surveillance, so of course the best position for me was mall security guard. Pass.
I don’t remember who else I talked to; SS stuck out because it was so ridiculous.
Didn’t apply to NSA because those that I’d dealt with were smug pricks with egos much larger than justified by their abilities. It was only their position in a “listen, don’t talk” agency which let them pull the “I know something you don’t know” act.
Didn’t apply to FBI mostly because I didn’t want to be a cop but also because, IIRC, at the time they hired only lawyers ad accountants as agents. Or maybe they’d just gotten rid of that requirement but it didn’t matter because I didn’t want to be a cop.
Didn’t apply to CIA because every CIA agent I’d worked with was an asshole. To be fair, I worked with agents from only one field office (?) and maybe one bad station chief (?) set the tone. Regardless, CIA recruited me persistently for probably a year. My experience and personality profile were exactly what they were looking for in a field agent and the tasks I’d been given when working with them where I was had a 100% success rate. I don’t know where they got the resume and application info; just assume it was either forwarded from one of the other agencies or the field office sent in a report which put me on their radar.
(Conspiracy theory time: I got out of the Army at the end of my initial active hitch because my orders to go to Special Forces selection were screwed up, so the additional 3-year commitment was rolled back. What if the CIA had someone in the Army personnel department deliberately screw up my orders so that I’d be on the street and looking for a job a couple months after I got back the second time from where I was? It makes so much sense! And I can’t believe it took me almost 40 years and a missed night of sleep to realize it!)
I also looked at a couple of mercenary companies, looking mostly for “irregular activities” units rather than plain combat companies; I had experience with intelligence gathering and analysis, espionage, and sabotage, so it seemed an obvious fit. That didn’t go anywhere. This was before the big uptick in private military units with their ads all over. There was probably a company which would have suited me perfectly but I had no idea how to find out about them; I’m sure it worked on a personal referrals basis and I didn’t know anyone in the biz.
Fun extra anecdote: Not long after 9/11, a guy I knew was putting together a team to subcontract through Blackwater to go to Iraq. Initial talks on the phone went well, proposal sounded good to them, money was looking very good, and then he went for a face-to-face to nail things down and sign the contract. He brought his brother for moral support. The brother, to put it politely, does not reside on the right hand side of the bell curve. He also has impulse control problems and would butt into conversations with whatever entered his head. Result: no contract. Return to your regular jobs, everyone. The real pisser was, he did the same thing with one of the other private military companies. Making a mistake is one thing but repeating it note for note is kind of dumb.
Friday bedtime. Had a jolly dinner (bangers and garlic-celeriac mashed potato, with caramelised onion red wine gravy) with friends and tomorrow’s travelling companion. Beers were consumed. Typing is surprisingly hard after beers…
Up early tomorrow to go to Iceland. Apparently the weather there is dire. Bringing woolly undergarments and a good coat. Speak among yourselves.
Goodnight!
The NSA hired the biggest head case in my graduating class as a quota filler. I’m not sure how that worked out long term for her.
RSA – as in the patent for the public key algorithm – tried to have me fired from the Death Star when I caught them wrapping their BSAFE API around OpenSSL around 18 years ago.
BSAFE was deprecated by then and strictly in maintenance mode, but we paid the company $1 million annually to use the logo on the “About” page of the NetClient.
Back in the day, I gathered that there was quite a revolving door betwen NSA and RSA.
I went down the rabbit hole of the building ownership in this space back when Butler happened.
It is definitely one of those “Things that make you say, Hmmmm …” situations.

I wacked my hair today. Pretty much a scoop and trim what sticks up above my fingers gets mown off with the fenceless beard trimmer. Looks ok to me.
Man, that’s a lot of hair on the floor. Some old lady at the grocery may have a problem with my haircut… but that’s in the realm of “are you paying me money or are we getting sexy?” My hair, eff off.
Anyway. Mint is still goofy. Linux, right? It’ll be ok in a day or so. I’m going to get this working, I’m done with Windows.
Squeezebox stuff. I have the new server up and powered from the UPS. Snaking all the wires around was every bit as “yuck” as expected. The Boom in the bedroom works. The Radio, sitting on a 1950s radio in the dining room works. The Squeezebox 3 connected to the stereo was easy, just choose the music source.
The odd one is the Squeezebox 2 out there in the EDC. It doesn’t want to see another server. Yet, from the house, the new server sees it. Time for a hard reset I reckon.

I cannot figure out the power supply size in either one.
Neither PC has sound connections in the back that I can tell. Just headphone jacks in the front.

I mean, come on, $300 now ain’t like a month’s rent like it was when we were 25 years old.
Of course, you could just get an $80 Pi 3b+ and do lots of stuff. Stuff like trying to set it so the USB external drive mounts at boot. And screw it up so the system says “root is locked”.
Go. Have fun!!!

My garmin fitbit thing worked seamlessly. All it did was tell time, track sleep and steps. My samsung smartwatch flashes green out the bottom at random, and randomly forgets what initial I’ve picked for the watchface, and what style of watchface I want displayed. I can’t wear it for a whole day because it runs out of battery if it’s too far from the phone. I can set it to just be a watch, and it will last days, but what’s the point of a big ugly watch simulator, when I have nice watches? Oh, and it vibrates all day which feels really weird.
No me gusta.
