Mon. Nov. 18, 2024 – let’s get started on this new week.

By on November 18th, 2024 in culture, decline and fall, march to war

Warm, wet, and gross. Or maybe it will be nice later, but it was warm and wet when I went to bed. Probably going to continue.

Didn’t get as much done yesterday as I’d hoped. The weather was poor, and my motivation was low. Carrying, lifting, and storing all the stuff I did on Saturday left me sore and stiff on Sunday. Getting older it teh sux. So I did small things I could do without needing to stress my torso…

Today I’m headed in to school to wrap up the show stuff, pull backups and put stuff away. I may do a mini-seminar or two for any interested kids during their morning “tech theater club” period, now that they aren’t working on a show deadline. The dance teacher has the theater for her show. I will have some gentle words with her about overall loudness and what’s appropriate for kids. I’ll also be working with the district guy to do some maintenance and updates to gear in the room, working around the dance recital. In for a penny, in for a pound…

Then I’ll do some auction stuff. I really need to get a couple of things fixed so I can get them sold. I’ve got a couple of things to do for my client too, both here and at his place. Hopefully I can get a couple of things done before the kid taxiing starts.

Speaking of getting things done, everyone here should have the basics of prepping for disaster covered. Think about taking some aspect to the next level, and start building toward that. Constant improvement, that should be a watchword and a goal.

And stacking. That too.

    Next week is Thanksgiving. Lots of people take extra time off, lots of grocery shopping, and of course, Black Friday planning. 

    Get it done this week if you can.

    Still dark out but looks like it might be clear.  Not crazy humid or raining.

    Back and torso still stiff, but not as sore as yesterday.

    Coffee is brewing, kid’s lunch is packed, time to shower and dress for success.

    Quoted for truth. I’m doing my last Costco run of the year after work today and I am not looking forward to the experience.

    73F so not particularly cool.

    And there are low fast moving clouds with a very light misty drizzle.   Joy.

    “In this first term, Trump did not have a “wingman” as Attorney General. Fortunately, he will be returning to the White House and his second term is an opportunity to correct the few missteps of his remarkably successful first term.”

    Trump doesn’t need a wingman. He needs an Attorney General who is at least as experienced at political street fighting as Marc Elias and his former colleagues at Perkins Coie.

    Trump needs to make sure that what DeSantis started in Florida does not end in 2027. The Republicans have power for at least a generation, but many are squeamish about how that was achieved, particularly with regard to the crushing of Disney.
