Cool, and hopefully dry.\u00a0 I’ve got stuff to do and rain won’t help.<\/p>\n
Got through Sunday without rain, and got a bunch of stuff done at my secondary location.\u00a0 Took forever to get the forklift started, and then it wouldn’t stay running on a hill.\u00a0 Which is where I needed it.\u00a0 I did get stuff done despite that, and I’ll have to call in a mechanic to take a look at it.\u00a0 I was hoping to avoid spending money on it, but it looks like it is the prudent thing to do at this point.<\/p>\n
I didn’t really get anything else done though.\u00a0 That all slipped to today.\u00a0 Plan is to get my local auction stuff together, then delivered.\u00a0\u00a0 Then do decor, at least lights.\u00a0 Housecleaning, laundry, groceries, present shipping, and all the normal stuff needs to happen too.<\/p>\n
79 years ago, the Japanese made what would turn out to be one of the biggest political and strategic blunders of recent history.\u00a0 It ended up with them being the test bed for the only time anyone on the planet has used nukes in anger.\u00a0 And we did it twice.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Now you can make an argument that by ~60 years later they actually won the conflict.\u00a0 To the extent their homeland survived and thrived, yes.\u00a0 Any imperial ambitions were ended though and they haven’t been a world power since.<\/p>\n
I don’t know that we’re the same people that we once were, or that there is a giant left to wake.\u00a0\u00a0 I have a feeling that we’re going to find out though, and some time in the next year.\u00a0\u00a0 It’s unlikely to be pretty, or quick, and it’s likely to damage us severely for years to come.\u00a0\u00a0 The lines won’t be clear, the enemy won’t be far away, and we won’t be messing up someone else’s cities.\u00a0 We won’t have a clear end state goal either.\u00a0\u00a0 Frankly at this point I’m HOPING for aliens, because we’ve always united against the outsiders.<\/p>\n
But I’m stacking food, clothes, tech, defensive items, books, various and sundries, because I want to bring my family through whatever comes and out the other side.\u00a0 I’d like to see all y’all there too.\u00a0 Keep stacking.<\/p>\n
