Cold. Wet. We’ll see about the rest. Yesterday was dreary in Houston but not apocalyptic. Of course my experience isn’t universal. I’m sure winter is giving it to some people good and hard. Like it used to. Guess we’re moving out of the warm period…<\/p>\n
Saturday was filled with calm and fairly low key prepping for the storm’s arrival. Check the generators. Check the heat. Bring some stuff to the front of the stacks. Secure the outdoor stuff as needed for a storm. Normal stuff.<\/p>\n
We are being manipulated. Pushed. Pulled. Whiplashed. Led. Directed. I’m tired of it. The right memes about NPCs having their ‘outrage of the day’ chip swapped out, but we are subject to it too.<\/p>\n
Disengage. Step back. Look for the context, the hidden hand, the manipulation. Leave the emotion behind. Observe, decide, act, but don’t be led to leap off the cliff. <\/p>\n
—————<\/p>\n
Today we’ll see if the hype was hype or justified and reasonable. My bet is on “No”. <\/p>\n
Stack. Prepare. Then there is no need for panic or upset, and you have choices. Choices are good. Panic is not.<\/p>\n
