Cool and damp.\u00a0 Like yesterday turned out to be.\u00a0 We got some rain in the morning, and misty drizzle later too.\u00a0\u00a0 Just enough to be grey and damp, and to make the road slippery.\u00a0 It was warm long enough that I ended up turning on the A\/C before bed as temps in the house crept up to 77F.\u00a0 That meant 82F in my office which was just too dang hot.\u00a0 We’ll see how today goes, but I need to do the pickups I didn’t do yesterday, so I’m hoping it’s not too wet.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I was coughing and didn’t feel great in the morning so I took a wuflu self test.\u00a0 Negative again.\u00a0\u00a0 That’s something like 6 times I felt bad enough to test, and yet still don’t have the coof.\u00a0 I’ll head to bed early as the universal remedy for sickness.<\/p>\n
Spent most of yesterday on domestic bliss.\u00a0 Did 2 loads of laundry, folded same.\u00a0\u00a0 Did some cleanup and putting away of stuff that’s been out for far too long.\u00a0\u00a0 Did some restocking of cabinets.\u00a0 Then got the kid and went book shopping at the thrifts.\u00a0\u00a0 She bought more clothes than books, but did manage to find a half dozen.\u00a0 Prices in the independent thrift store were high.\u00a0\u00a0 Much higher than normal.\u00a0 It could be a new manager setting prices more aggressively, or it could be inflation showing up in the staff’s perception of what a good price would be.\u00a0\u00a0 I managed to get a couple of books, and a benchrest for shooting gubs.<\/p>\n
Today I’ve got pickups if it’s not raining.\u00a0 That will free me up to get out to my client on Friday.\u00a0 Bought some stuff to donate to daughter’s school.\u00a0 Wife is already donating both our time this weekend, and something they need in the theater showed up in my auction.\u00a0 Funny how that happens in my life.<\/p>\n
The world continues in its tendency toward increasing tyranny.\u00a0 The latest from our neighbors to the north slid right by, with nary an objection, and might be used lightly this first time.\u00a0\u00a0 They always come back and use it full strength at some point though.\u00a0\u00a0 I’d be decreasing my cash in the bank, and increasing my valuable stuff close at hand.\u00a0 No one ever thinks they’ll come for them, until it’s too late and they have.<\/p>\n
The tendency toward increased perversity should be obvious after 10 minutes review of current pop culture.\u00a0 It wasn’t that long ago that a band could sing a song based on Bible stories<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 In fact many bands could do so and each could make it their own, and no one would object, and most people hearing it would already know the story.\u00a0\u00a0 Today the dominant pop culture celebrates drug use, violence, misogyny, obscenity, and pornography<\/a>.<\/p>\n Our president says the smartest guy he knows is a crack head who films himself using drugs and having sex with whores, and who can’t even keep\u00a0 track of his own laptop with the videos on it, as well as evidence of his other crooked deals.\u00a0 The previous Democrat administration was so crooked, listing the crimes would get a novel with that plot thrown out as completely impossible fantasy.<\/p>\n Legal abortion, which was supposed to be ‘rare’ has killed 23 million black babies alone, by some estimates.\u00a0 The social “reforms” of the 60s and 70s have destroyed the black family, destroyed the cities and black neighborhoods, and encouraged a culture of decadence and dependence that has poisoned the soul of black America instead of uplifting it.<\/p>\n This person is reading stories to our kids<\/a> in the library, and this person is now in charge of our nuclear waste<\/a>…\u00a0 At least he has some background in the field, but he seems to have gotten the position “because of” not “in spite of” his clear mental illness.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I’m not just a grumpy old man complaining about the kids today.\u00a0 This stuff that would have been unimaginable a decade ago is really happening.\u00a0\u00a0 And it’s being CELEBRATED.<\/p>\n The center cannot hold.<\/p>\n You and I don’t have enough preps.\u00a0 Stack it up.\u00a0 Keep it secret.\u00a0 Keep it safe.<\/p>\n n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Cool and damp.\u00a0 Like yesterday turned out to be.\u00a0 We got some rain in the morning, and misty drizzle later too.\u00a0\u00a0 Just enough to be grey and damp, and to make the road slippery.\u00a0 It was warm long enough that I ended up turning on the A\/C before bed as temps in the house crept up to 77F.\u00a0 That meant 82F in my office which was just too dang hot.\u00a0 We’ll see how today goes,<\/p>\n
