Clear and moderately warm in Houston today.\u00a0 I hope anyway.\u00a0 I have a bunch of running around to do and most of it involves the pickup truck.\u00a0\u00a0 Which I couldn’t use yesterday due to a dead battery.<\/p>\n
I’ll be dealing with that this a.m.\u00a0\u00a0 Don’t know yet if it’s just run down or if it’s dead.\u00a0\u00a0 I did notice it when I put fluids in all the vehicles, and thought “naw, it’s fine, I replaced it recently”… but now I’m not sure.\u00a0\u00a0 Haven’t had a look yet.<\/p>\n
With a start like that, or rather a lack of a start, I only got some stuff done.\u00a0\u00a0 I put off going to Home Depot.\u00a0 It occurred to me that I could use Amex points for HD gift cards and buy my garden stuff with those.\u00a0\u00a0 That is what I’ve BEEN doing, but didn’t actually think about it this year.\u00a0\u00a0 So I ordered some cards, which are normally in my email inbox in minutes, but for some reason now say that they can take up to three days.\u00a0\u00a0 They weren’t there yet when I went to bed.\u00a0\u00a0 Seems odd that it takes any real time at all, let alone days.<\/p>\n
Lot of weird stuff going on in the world at the moment.\u00a0 Par for the course at this point.<\/p>\n
Speaking of stuff, according to my wife, NPR quoted NYTimes about the coming food shortages due to Ukraine not planting as much, and not exporting.\u00a0 Of course it’s all Russia’s fault, but they sure were late getting to the party.\u00a0\u00a0 The flip side is that even lefties are now clued in, so expect the self fulfilling prophesy.\u00a0\u00a0 Get yours while you can.<\/p>\n
Violence continues to increase.\u00a0\u00a0 Boston seems to be the latest city to lose control of their feral youths, but NYFC continues to lead the way.\u00a0 The west coast is well represented with violent crimes and attacks on innocents too.<\/p>\n
Services are continuing to break down all over the place.<\/p>\n
It sucks, but it’s coming.\u00a0\u00a0 Get yourself ready, and stack up what you need.<\/p>\n
