How do they do it, the
writers who put up something every day? My process is twofold. One is reading
something that pisses me off. Second, after the 0400 bladder drain, lie in bed
for an hour or two reviewing all the dumb mistakes I’ve done in my life. Some
of that ends up in a Word document that lingers on the computer until I get
around to posting it. After my kinetic alarm clock wakens me I sometimes
remember what I reviewed.
What is a kinetic alarm clock? A 80 lb Treat Hound self petting on the end of my bed, encouraging me to get up and feed him breakfast.
A Karen Moment
My late ex wife was named
Karen. A very appropriate and fitting name as she moved through life.
Two days ago my phone
rang. It was my middle son. Conversation was as follows.
“I pulled a Karen and
locked my keys in my car. I have a locksmith coming and he will charge me $120”.
He went on to explain that the roadside assistance provided by our State Farm policy sucks, he doesn’t want to wait hours, and he doesn’t want to deal with a female Ebonics speaker.
I should add he is not a racist. As a high functioning Asperger Syndrome individual, his observations are blunt, to the point, and unfiltered.
Anthropocene
the current geological age, viewed as the period during which human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment.Opinion, not fact.
Is fracking causing earth tremors? Possibly, according to this article.

More evidence? Denver, CO started having small earthquakes after waste was pumped deep into rock formations nearby. After the pumping stopped, the earthquakes stopped. Long explanation.
In 1967 while living in the Capitol Hill area of Denver, my visiting father and I were drinking coffee on a front porch. We watched as a small ripple, like on water, come across the ground shaking the building. My first experience with an earthquake. Not his. He said there was a bad earthquake at Dinjan Airfield, Assam, India while he was there that did more damage than any Japanese bombing raids.
Bad Science + Political Agendas
The atrocity that was COVID-19 will linger for years. As more facts emerge, the less we common folk trust what we are being told. The harm? Flu is a major health problem for both people and animals. Here is a potential game changer.
Will many accept the science should the trials prove successful? I, for one, will be hard to convince. How do most of us know ‘good’ science from ‘bad’?
Potential Military Force
Consider the military potential of wildfire fighters. Physically fit, trained to work under stress as a team, etc.Open Borders can’t be the source,
can it?
Locally? Emperor Polis (imagined Libertarian) applauds open borders.
Ancestry
Swiped this map from LL’s blog, Virtual Mirage, and a though percolated up in the chaos that is my mind. How much has relative inexpensive DNA testing changed our interpersonal relationships?Sometime later I did the test. Surprises! While I’m 99.9% Caucasian, about 8% is Norwegian! Guess some Viking raped one of my Irish ancestors. The test identified a biological son, with a code name. When I mentioned it to him, he excitedly told me that was him!
My response? “Good to know. Now I won’t need to slap your mother”.
