Cold and clear, until it rains. And it will probably rain, just to mess with me.
Yesterday was cool and clear everywhere I went, but I could see the rain coming down HARD in the distance. Some parts of the Houston area must have been hammered.
Ran my errands. Have another load of industrial stuff scheduled to drop off on Monday or Tuesday. Most of my stuff in the last auction did well. Both auctioneers are happier with the stuff I’m bringing. Me too for that matter. Now I just need to get MORE of it to them each time.
If I can I’ll work in the garden today. I’ve got cleanup and pick ups scheduled though. Sunday is supposed to be clear so that’s my backup plan.
Got the dog’s ashes back yesterday. There will need to be some time spent dealing with that, and the family, over the weekend too. I’m still checking for him every time I walk through the room, or checking that his water dish is full when I walk past that area. It’s amazing how much energy an 18 pound chihuahua mix can infuse into the house, and how empty it can feel when it’s gone.
Out in the world, the crazy continues to grow and spread. The government wants to make literally half the country into outlaws and domestic terrorists. (Funny how we have so many flavors of ‘terrorist’ these days.) It’s a bit like the constant use of the ‘racist’ label, and I can’t help thinking of the saying, “as well to hang for a sheep as a lamb”. Be careful what you wish for….
The casino that is the financial markets finally met a card counter they didn’t own, and they’re running scared. It’s been a house of cards for a long time, and it might finally be crashing down. This isn’t good by the way.
I saw a meme that kinda lifted a veil so to speak, exposing something I’d internalized that wasn’t true. For a long time, I’ve been referring people to the election map of the last election BY COUNTY because it shows quite clearly that the majority of the country is red, with only the big cities in blue. It looks very different from when the whole state is colored in. The meme (I can’t find again) showed the same map, and said- There are no blue states, only corrupt blue cities in red states. And just like that, I realized I’d been programmed. My way of thinking about the issue was framed by someone else in a way that benefited them more than me. Watch out for that.
We have some time yet before whatever breaks things for real happens. I don’t know how long, but it’s not infinite. Keep working to improve your position. Keep stacking.
