Hot and humid, maybe cooler and wet. Yesterday was rainy all day, so technically cooler than hotter, and wetter than notter…
Did some auction stuff through most of the day because of the rain. The lost item appeared at the buyer’s door today. After I refunded him, and after he’d bought a replacement from someone else. Didn’t make sense to ship it back and he didn’t think to refuse delivery. It never did show up in the USPS system. That’s 11 days to get from Houston to Virginia without Christmas rush…that ain’t great.
Sold another couple of items on a ‘make an offer’. Usually if I can do 2 or more I can combine shipping and pass on the reduction in cost, but UPS and the Post Office both raised rates and I couldn’t quite make it work until I countered. Surprisingly he went for it. My experience has been that 99% of the time, the offer is the max they want to pay, a counter almost always fails.
I’m surprised by the sale, as I usually get shut out when my store has been on vacation hold…glad of it though.
Got out to Costco in the late afternoon and put some observations in yesterday’s comments. A year and a half later, we are still seeing shortages of stuff like paper products. Had an interesting chat with a lady in the TP area. She’s very aware of shortages, “saw it reported”, is stacking extra food (“I never liked canned food but I’m buying it because you never know”) and when I mentioned planting a garden, she wholeheartedly agreed because “there might not be any food”. Nice lady, and well outside of my demographic… so it’s not just white middle aged men prepping.
I’ll have to get some Charmin blue out of my storage if I can’t buy any at Costco.
I’m buying masks at auction too. People are too quick to unload and there are some real bargains on PPE at the moment. This is the first of the plagues, not the last, and I need to restock stuff I’ve used now that it’s available again.
Some gub stuff and tactical gear in the estate auctions this week too, but it went for too much money. Lots of bidders looking for that sort of thing.
I rounded out the afternoon by swinging by one of my favorite ‘high end’ thrift stores. It’s an independent run by a collection of churches in a very affluent neighborhood. Not much for resale, but lots for personal use. VERY STRANGE to see shortages in a thrift store, but there were. This store can be counted on to have the same sort of stuff from week to week, and there were departments that were WAY under normal levels of stock. Kids toys was almost bare. On the other hand, someone raised prices in electronics and small appliances so there was a LOT of stock in that area.
Stuff is weird all over.
Secondary market is getting patchy too.
Time and past time to be stackin’. Get to it.

76F and raining this am, at least I think so. Weather station says 99%RH and I've never seen that when it wasn't raining….
I'll have to stick my head out the door. Seems like that is something the weather liars never do 😉

weellllll….. sticking my head out the door, and it’s not actually raining. Still 99%RH though. And if feels like it.

I'm at two weeks and counting for a return shipped to Boston from Austin utilizing SmartPost via Fedex.
The vendor isn't motivated to do any investigation unless I get Amex involved.
I haven't received notice that Citi Costco received my Visa payment sent a week ago, but the late fee is probably more cashflow for Costco so they play this game a couple of times a year.
AT&T broke their union in 2009, and it remains broken. Their union guys were told to get the jab.
Verizon is in negotiation with their union over the shot. The company endured an ugly strike five years ago, complete with software developers climbing telephone poles so labor is exercising that hard-won power.
A couple of items in the news caught my eye:
1. Sec. Petey Buttplug has been on *paternity* leave for TWO MONTHS. The Lame Stream Media isn't reporting this. In one of the biggest transportation clusterfarks evah, the Sec. of Transportation is not even in the office. I guess it is true he is an empty suit with no experience. Who's running Transportation?
2. If plugs gets his COVID mandate for all federal agencies and contractors, and, wheels gets his mandate through the legislature and becomes law, who wins? What happens to a place like Fort Hood, the largest Army base in the FUSA, when federal contractors aren't vax'd and the flow of food, fuel, etc. stops to Fort Hood? plugs' mandate certainly is not a law. I'm thinking if wheels gets his mandate into the Texas law books, plugs will lose in front of SCOTUS. If not, have we become a banana republic with some tyrant ruling by EO?
In the immediate short run, the fired workers collect on the contractors' unemployment insurance accounts at TWC. The termination will not be for a reason recognized as legitimate by the laws of the State of Texas, and another court case will have to decide if the terminated workers were violating the statute that allows for termination without payment if their actions were threatening the work or the safety of other employees.
At a minimum *everyone* gets a tribunal hearing. The jammie clad HR departments haven't thought this one through sufficiently, assuming that no one really wants to lose their job … and so close to Christmas. Think of the children…
Texas doesn’t care if the employer shows up for the hearing in their jammies. Not showing up will quickly get expensive.
As an aside, I'm over the implied message about Christmas being "in jeopardy" unless everyone gets jabbed. The magic has been gone from the holidays in most American households for over 20 years.
If not, have we become a banana republic with some tyrant ruling by EO?
–yes. It just becomes more clear with every passing day. See also, CDC and eviction moratorium.

In the “press conference” yesterday, Biden said that they have purchased enough vaccine to innocculate every child over 5 once the CDC approves jabs for that age group. No word on whether parents get a choice, of course.
In other words, once enough pressure has been applied to the people making the decision by the cabal behind the scenes. Think of Christmas. For the children …

Some short time ago, someone here asked essentially, "why are the feds involved in discussions about port slowdowns in Cali?"

https://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2021/10/the-green-new-deal-turns-out-to-be-at.html
–TLDR – Cali enviro mandates blocking older trucks from entering the state and the ports, Cali labor law turning independent truckers into employees – which is keeping them out of state, and I'm certain, union work rules.
FWIW I used to work with a guy who operated an unloading crane at Port of Long Beach. A full 8 hour shift is only 4 hours of work, with butt in seat. It's a bit like limits on pilot flight crew time. The job is incredibly demanding – the operator is WAY up there, the containers are WAY down there, they are heavy, F=MA, and when you f#ck it up people die. Not just anyone can do the job, and they can't do it well for long periods of time. One of the tricky bits was canceling out the swing in the cables and container by moving the crane DURING the lift. All this while doing it as fast as possible. He had mandatory time off between shifts, and mandatory limits on his time in the seat.

Went to the Victoria, TX Cinemark with Dad yesterday and saw the new James Bond flick, "No Time To Die" on one of their big screens. Was pretty good and very politically correct. The new 007 was interesting but if she is the new Bond then will probably skip the next movie. We did not get a private showing this time as three other patrons showed up in the 500 seat theatre with us at the 1:45pm showing. The previews were 30 minutes long and the movie was 2:30 hours:minutes long. We both had to get up and run to the potty.
"Fairfax County parents say they're not 'domestic terrorists,' call on school board to condemn DOJ"
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/fairfax-county-parents-school-board-doj-domestic-terrorists
My mother made an observation about this yesterday that Biden and the DOJ are calling concerned parents terrorists. Mom's observation was that Biden and the DOJ are taunting people. And when you taunt people, you tend to get the behavior that you are falsely accusing them of.
The Bond flick seemed reshot in places and heavily edited, particularly the parts with the female "007".
The home life of 'Q' also seemed forced and very “Russel T. Davies”. "A Very English Scandal" is now too far in the past for Bond to get much of that audience.
With Davies returning to run the show, Ben Wishaw is back on the short list for the "Doctor Who" lead. His 'Q' appearances should have been an argument for him to get that job, similar to what he did reintroducing the character in “Skyfall”.

This. I think it is important for someone to understand the other side's point of view. On most issues, I can argue the leftist side at least as well as they can. If people don't understand the other viewpoint, then why do they think their view is the better one? Standing on a hill, saying "King of the Mountain" is kind of dumb, if you aren't sure it's the highest hill around.
Of course, few people on any side of any political debate bother to understand the opposition. Most are trapped in their echo chambers, confirmed in their views by the like-minded, and "triggered" by anything different.
I see that Texas currently requires DPT, Polio, MMR, Hep-A/B, and a couple of other vaccinations for school children.
If the government believes that Covid is as serious as any of those diseases, then requiring a vaccination makes sense.
That's the issue that needs discussed.
FWIW, I do think that governments everywhere have made a muck of things. However, screwed up government is no reason to take Covid lightly – it is clearly more dangerous than your average cold or flu.
The Biden Administration doesn't want to have that debate because the death count for age 0-17 from Covid is currently ~ 500 for the entire country. The risk from the vaccine is much higher, but the agenda comes first.
For the record, my kids both have the shot, and getting vaccinated was their choice.

He needs to be really careful with implications about the organization in Tampa. Gruden did a lot of damage there, and I'm sure that the Yucs are sitting on a few emails that would prove embarrassing to both the coach and GM Bruce Allen, his drinking buddy.

What ! Male breast cancer is 1/1000th of the occurence that female breast cancer is. I have actually met a guy who had to have a double mastectomy though. He got a "whoa" out of me when he showed me his scars.
Of course, if you are taking female hormones then all bets are off. The same with male hormones. Taking that stuff is like playing with sweaty dynamite.

I just waited two weeks for a Priority Mail package to show up that should have been here in three days. I was really hoping it hadn't gotten lost as it was an eBay item that had seemingly been mis-priced and at the moment not replaceable at the price I paid for it. Finally arrived yesterday. But don't worry, at least DeJoy isn't out of the office for two months.
I have only a couple of bills that I can't pay online and for those I use my bank's bill paying service. They send out a paper check and no charge to me for the postage.
Y chromosomes do not carry an immunity to breast cancer, and hormone therapy comes with risks, including cancer.

"The Vega Sector (Perry Rhodan #5)" by K. H. Scheer and Kurt Mahr, translated by Wendayne Ackerman
https://www.amazon.com/Vega-Sector-Perry-Rhodan/dp/B000GR58AY/br?tag=ttgnet-20 />
Book number five of a series of one hundred and twenty-six space opera books in English. The original German books, actually pamphlets, number in the thousands. The English books mostly have two translated German stories per book. The German books were written from 1961 to present time, having sold two billion copies and even recently been rebooted. I read the well printed and well bound book published by Ace in 1970 that I had to be very careful with due to age. I bought an almost complete box of Perry Rhodans a decade or two ago on ebay that I am finally getting to since I lost my original Perry Rhodans in The Great Flood of 1989.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perry_Rhodan
In this alternate universe, USSF Major Perry Rhodan and his three fellow astronauts blasted off in a three stage rocket to the Moon in 1971. The first stage of the rocket was chemical, the second and third stages were nuclear. After crashing on the Moon due to a strange radio interference, they discover a massive crashed alien spaceship with an aged male scientist (Khrest), a female commander (Thora), and a crew of 500.
The Arkonide built FTL detectors have registered over 100 space ships transitioning from FTL in the nearby Vega star system. Perry Rhodan and Reginald Bell take a crew of fifty plus two space fighters to investigate. Rhodan and Bell find a known lizard race, the Topides, attacking the Ferrons, the inhabitants of the Vega system, and decimating their defenses. And the lizards have a stolen Arkenide battleship.
One has to remember that this book was written in German in 1961 and translated to English in 1970. Many items that came about in the 1970s and beyond such as cell phones are not reflected in the book. However, commercial aircraft commonly traveling at Mach 3 are not available to the public as talked about in the book. Niels Bohr's saying "Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future" comes to mind.

It gets better. The five admins were outside the main data center that the data center rat was in. The rat could not let them in manually since their key cards failed. They could see the rat through the glass (window ? door ?) but could not get it ! ! ! ! ! I would have found a fire axe and broke in. Or driven a vehicle through the side of the building.

I looked at canned meat. Nothing there but the usual tuna, Spam and derivatives, corned beef, and corned beef hash. None of the canned hotdogs and such like Nick mention. None of the canned taco or enchilada meats.
I looked at the Banquet frozen dinners. No fried chicken dinner. Darn! But I bought a few anyway. Chicken Fried Chicken, same but Steak, and Salisbury Steak. Not exactly Good Eats but for about a $1.50 not bad at all when you just don't want to cook anything.

The fire code says that devices are only allowed one extension cord. Each UPS qualifies as a single extension cord. So do surge boxes. Yes, I have been written up on fire code violations before by the city fire marshal when we officed in Sugar Land. I was arguing with the guy, made no difference.
My office building has a 400 amp breaker box. Very non-standard. And no open breakers out of the 60 breakers, I have used them all.
Sadly, the rat followed protocol.
Most Linux distributions now include GNU nano, which is essentially console Notepad, but there aren't any guarantees.

@paul, look for the other meat in the ethnic aisle. The taco and shredded beef in pouches is near the spam and Dinty Moore shelf stable meals in my small HEB and in the ethnic aisle in the big one. The hot dogs are a product of Holland, and I think I might have bought them at the asian market, 99 Ranch. I def bought the small egg shaped canned ham product there, "Danish ham".
