Slightly cool, but still humid. Probably getting warmer later, but staying under 90F. Fall, in other words. Yesterday got pretty warm in the late afternoon, but was otherwise beautiful. Fall weather is great.
Did a bunch of auction stuff. Went to my storage unit looking for an item that sold on ebay. Found it, right where it should be, and some other stuff I’d forgotten about…
I really need to get one or both kids doing listings. They both say they want to earn some money but they’d both rather do something else with their time. Well, me too. But needs must…
Talked to several people while I was out yesterday. Safety was on their minds. The rapid and visible influx of foreign invaders is to the point where you see them standing around. Like the pond that is half covered with lily pads one day, then fully covered the next, they are suddenly everywhere.
Don’t know what can be done, other than make conditions so bad or so onerous that they self deport. If it comes to shooting, Aesop says ‘your skin color will be your uniform’, and I think he’s right. Goes both ways of course, as anyone the victim of ‘the knockout game’ or ‘polar bear hunting’ well knows. I curse George Lucas because all I can hear in my head when I consider the issue is Jar Jar Binks – “Is some people gonna die?” Yes. Yes they will.
Spend some time thinking about your personal security. At home, at work, at the store, and traveling between those places. Consider making changes if you find issues.
And stack the defensive things.
