With the heat, it’s hard to believe summer is ending. We’ve got a month or more of hot and humid ahead of us. I don’t know how much longer we’ll have 100+ degree days though. And a bit cooler at night will be welcome.<\/p>\n
And since the start of the school year is way dang early these days, it’s not really the end of Summer that it used to be. Still can’t believe how fast time is flying by.<\/p>\n
Did my pickups yesterday, and had nice chats with several people. Met a nice lady that grew up in Chicago not far from where my dad grew up, and we knew a lot of places in common. As she’s 50, she was more of a child of the 90s while I’m a child of the 80s, but still, midwestern and south side of Chicago has a strong cultural influence. And her childhood was a bit more urban than my suburban life. We chatted for over an hour. <\/p>\n
Today I have to get youngest out the door. She still wants me to make her a snack for school. Despite my strike I will do so because I get a lot out of it. D1 went to the store and bought TP and some food so the strike will continue a bit longer. As she has to do more of the background stuff I did, maybe she’ll come to realize it. Or maybe not. Teens are very self-centered.<\/p>\n
In the afternoon, I have a couple of pickups in Katy. I got some fishing stuff and a nice leather chair for the BOL. The chair will need cleaning, but I’m looking forward to expanding my skills refurbing leather. It’s a distraction, possibly, but also something nice for the BOL. <\/p>\n
I’ve got to move some stuff at the shop and get more auction stuff ready, now that I made a little bit of room with the stuff I dropped off.<\/p>\n
Should be plenty to do. If my strike continues, I’ll have more time for some stuff. And, maybe the kid will learn some things in preparation to going to college next fall. <\/p>\n
Always be working to improve. Stack. I still think it is all going to fall apart economically and socially and the trigger won’t be obvious. Unless they manage to kill Trump, that will make everything go nuts in a very unpredictable way.<\/p>\n
