Has to be cheap and close by. <\/p>\n<p>After getting the kids from school, I went back to poking at my non-prepping hobby website build.  I&#8217;d spent the morning doing auction stuff and poking at it, and thought I&#8217;d poke some more.   All I can say is that if you want to do simple things, it can be simple.  Still not as easy as the demos.   The demo guys are NEVER trying to re-create something existing- I don&#8217;t care if it&#8217;s a website or a CAD drawing, it&#8217;s always easy to just breeze along adding new stuff. Much less easy to keep referring to the old, and trying to incorporate that stuff into the new.<\/p>\n<p>I made progress though, so that was good.  I&#8217;m hoping I can poke at it enough to have a pretty good &#8220;go live&#8221; site by Saturday.  My non-prepping hobby meets this Saturday and it would be good to put it in front of the board and get sign off on the switchover.  It means I&#8217;ll be poking more than I&#8217;d like during the next few days.<\/p>\n<p>Took some time off to watch <em>Red Dawn<\/em> with the kids last night.   It held up pretty well.  I&#8217;ve got a list of formative movies and books, and they are receptive to  it.  Just have to make the time.   <\/p>\n<p>Culture.   It&#8217;s important.  They are a bit surprised by movies from before PC and the diversite&#8217;.  They can name 3 female scientists, but can they name three male?  Yeah, that is just one of my issues with school&#8230; and it crops up in the strangest places.  So, pop culture from the before time as a balance.<\/p>\n<p>Might work.   I like watching the movies anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Stack some together time.  And ammo.  <\/p>\n<p>Wolverines!<\/p>\n<p>nick<\/p>\n<p>(&#8220;it&#8217;s <em>fried rice<\/em> you plick!&#8221;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warm and damp.
