Notes

I was on the road in the magic time of ten minutes to six this morning and no honk. I was not in the first section of rad at that time. It makes me wonder if the honker only travels part of the road. It is more likely just a variant in the time this morning.

I’m fighting to get notes in to my Evernotes. I want to put more stuff in this database. It is weird.  I feel a sense of accomplishment when I plunk down a new note that I’ll actually come back to at some point.

One day my phone battery will last all day and then some. Other days, like today, It barely makes it past lunch before beeping at me. No number of reboots or killing apps seem to make any difference. Since I encrypted my phone and card, there has been no noticeable difference.

Leftists cheat more? I think this needs to be expanded.

Are these guys head quartered in a volcano?

Actions over words.

Time sounds off on how shit our current government is.

Hamas targeting journalists could backfire on them. You know, many people in the media might actually side with Israel if they think their lives are on the line. Funny how that works. It’s easy to hate the Jews until they are the only thing between you and annihilation.

What! No selfie today?

Herb, the shitty angel

I’m going to die. I remind myself of this nightly before I go to sleep. That or it is that shitty angel named Herb with the glasses who thinks it is more important to remind people of the frucking obvious instad of letting them get some sleep.

Herb must be on overtime because I thought about it today. Now I don’t know if Herb has a thing about ruining people’s day or if he is just out of ideas for helping. I thought about dying today at lunch. I was purchasing my third chicken sandwich from McDonald's this week. This time I got fries with that. It hit me, “Kelly, you are going to die.” I thought about my day and the past two weeks and I thought back to myself “You know, it would be great if you dropped me right here because I wouldn’t have to go back to work.”

It isn’t that I want to die. I just want to kick back on a beach in the warm daylight of an island somewhere and toss back mities until I check out on my way back to the beachside bar..

It isn’t that I am unafraid of death. I’m terrified of the pain and fear before death. I really fear dying in a situation where someone else is depending on me and I fail them. That is the hero wanna be in me.

I have no idea what goes on out there in the universe I have some ideas about where our consciousness goes. Most of them are pretty cool. The trouble is Nature isn’t cool. nature give zero shit about me here on Earth why would that change on the other side. What is the point of life? Why are we here. Herb knows. He isn’t talking.

Ideas

• Nothing. You grab your chest, try to scream, but can’t. Fade to black.
• No sense of time passing so who cares.
• This state was not so bad before I was born, so I’m not too worried.
• Reincarnation. I don’t like being here now, why the hell would I want to come back?
• My luck, I would come back as every tadpole in a pond all being eaten by the same fish at the same moment. One after the other.
• Christianity - Heaven seems boring. Hell sucks worse than Earth.
• I’m going to catch hell from Adam if he reads this.
• Judaism - I have no idea where jews believe they go when they die.
• Islam - I don't want to know what Muslim heaven looks like.
• Buddhism - Are they are the reincarnation thing?
• What happens to witches when they die?
• Stepping in to the light. There is some drug you can take that will kick off a step in to the light illusion in your head while you lie there in euphoria. Then it wears off and you have to go back to your life.

I need to do some research on religions. I’m not going to pick one based on the description of heaven and hell. I am just curious how long I can get this list. Wave it in front of Herb’s face on the way up.

Something to read while on the toilet because you might just shit.

Trueblood has jumped the shark. This, the last, season is all about bashing Republicans. Real Republicans, not fictional ones. Bad form HBO.

Several servers had some issues this morning. I walked in and ka-bluy! Got things going to a point. Our 15 minute meeting last an hour. Missed lunch because people who wanted to go to the good place wanted to go to a much more expensive place. I just ended up skipping lunch. I’m fat enough.

More illegals entering Texas than people born here. Gives a bit of scale to the issue.

I promise, Android has something similar. Apple IOS has a backdoor.

Trueblood makes a “Republicunt” crack. Prove their Demetwat leaning.

Kary not invited (uninvited I bet) to Peace talks between Israel and Hamas (Note, I didn’t say Gaza or the Palestinians. That is because Hamas is te one in charge and the one talking .. Oh, and shooting missiles at civilians.)

Maybe the IRS didn’t lose all those emails. Will anyone go to jail over this tyranny? Something about the level of “destroyed” or something.

Tel Aviv airport put on flyby status for U. S. carriers for at least 24 hours. Pesky war going on and all.

France getting a head start on surrender to Russia. Interesting idea to screw Putin (Russia) in that article. It will never fly. it makes way too much sense. God forbit the U. S. bring herself to punish an aggressor nation.

They were in a war zone.

Just watched Ender’s game. I hate it when I figure out the ending half way through the story. I had a pretty good idea what was going on and how it was ll going to end. I also caught the little twist with the training before it happened. I wasn’t even paying that close attention. It just all came to me as the movie unfolded. I read too much.

Which side is the fucking UN on anyway?

Russian missile takes down passenger jet in Ukraine. I’m upset, but not surprised.

Notes

I had planned on taking a picture of the mystery honker this morning. It was sprinkling so I just waited until just after 6:00 to leave the house. Most of the time I get honked at is around 5:50 so I figure a 10 minute head start lowers my odds of getting the honk. It worked this morning. Another day.

Kimber Super Carry pistol review.

I tried to publish yesterday’s notes to my blog. I write these things in Google Docs. I use it on my phone as well. It is awesome. The Blogger app sucks. It will not accept all the formatting from Docs. Odd that because they are the same company and all. No bullets, no styles, no nothing except text and enter key presses. Come on Google.

Tesla hacked

The best breakup advice I’ve ever heard. I didn’t catch who said this. Paraphrasing: Don’t explain. Be firm. Don’t be friends. Go separate ways.

Biting the bullet and getting a water resistant case for my phone. I figure I’ll have it for at least another year Lord willing. Yesterday’s jaunt to lunch in the rain convinced me. I felt like a pussy complaining about the pleasant summer shower.

Listened to an old radio show (Johnny Dollar) about a king cobra. They distracted the snake by playing the flute. The trouble is, it is not the music of the flute that distracts the snake. It is the motion of the end of the flute. Watcha snake charmer some time. Snakes cannot really hear the flute at all. Their sense of hearing works much differently than that of we humans. How do I know this fact? I don’t remember ever learning it. I picked it up somewhere.

One of these old radio shows said “Any unsolved crime is perfect.” I disagree. The perfect crime is no crime at all. The perfect crime is never found out. A crime that is known and unsolved is simply in stasis. I say there is no perfect crime. There are simply imperfect crime solvers.

I attempted to video the person who honks at me this morning. I got the camera raised, but I’m not sure ifI got anything worth looking at. I ll check it when I get to the house.

“That joke about the farmer’s daughter and the salesmen ...” There are like 100. I’ve heard at least 10. I can remember none.

Lunch conversation

• Weather
• Raining outside.
• Walking to lunch regardless of the weather.
• Weather in places where everyone else worked in their careers.
• The rain.
• How wet we were getting
• Which way had more awnings, fewer puddles
• Work
• Projects at work
• Dodging attending meetings
• How I use our (work) GUI
• IBM and Apple doing something together that no one quite grasps.
• Telephone Road and it’s history. We still don’t know where  the name came from.
• By “working class” they pretty much mean “shit hole”

Honk, and some other stuff that happened

I took this after lunch

The idea was to show how wet I got on the walk in the rain, but it just didnt turn out.

Out of work. Headed to the family

Notes

Another day, another honk. Today happened at 5:50 this morning. I need to just have the camera recording as I walk from now on until I either catch this person or move.

China is headed for a fiscal clusterfuck in 10 to 20 years. Workforce might shrink. People are not buying goods domestically. The lack of independence means comparatively little (legal) entrepreneurship.  Could be interesting to watch the Chinese economy simply crumble under its own weight. They might just think a war is in order, but they don’t have enough young people to fight, start the next generation, and keep the economy going.

Notes

The walk in this morning was pleasant. I got good timing on the lights. No one tried to kill me. I left early so the idiot with the pickup didn’t have a chance to honk at me (Nothing threatening, just annoying) Calling it a win. Need to leave earlier more often.

Guy invents a solvent that dissolves anything. It eats a hole in the Earth’s crust and swallows a city block before someone figures out how to stop it. This is a show on the old time radio shows I listen to. I can’t get enough of these things. The advertisement was ironized yeast.

Calling someone who breaks the law in order to be in this country an undocumented resident is like calling someone who steals a car an undocumented car owner. They should be treated like criminals because they are breaking the law. They have just been getting away with it for a long time.

Tweetable

Illegal Alien is to Undocumented Immigrant as car thief is to undocumented car owner. #immigration.

Time for Heros. Book. I just read.

Work was hard yesterday. It was hard again today. I got in to work at 06:30 or so. I left at 17:00. We did go to lunch. I suppose I could be gobbled up by aliens on a weekly basis. That job would suck more.

• Fishing on TV is more boring than soccer.
• Nascar on TV is more boring than soccer
• I find soccer on TV exciting
• Flopping/diving - pisses me off about soccer
• No scheduled or planned stops for 45 minutes at a time. I like that.
• You can play with a flat piece of ground and a ball.
• It is only every four years so shut up.

Do all good writers have a time every day to write? I’ve heard more than one say they write what comes to them at this time or if nothing comes, they copy what one of their favorite authors wrote. Sometimes they do it long hand. This keeps the muscles going. This keeps the motion. This keeps some of the momentum going.

Lunch conversation today consisted of movies and houses. I’m telling you, we are in a rut. The thing is, we seem to like our rut because we didn’t even notice how late the place was to taking our order today.

My ankle hurts. It was a gout attack. It amazes me how much it slows me down. Now that I’ve gone to the doctor and gotten some meds that help, I feel amazing. My whole body feels better. I don’t know how much is psychosomatic and how much is the steroid I was prescribed. Just not expecting the bite in my ankle every time I get up gives me the strength to get up

This pain in my ankle has come and gone over the last week or so. I would have gone to the doctor before now except it always seemed like it was going away. It just kept lingering and I just kept limping.

This isn’t just my first day of meds. I’ve also not had caffeine until today for a while. I think Saturday was the last time I had a cup of coffee. I’m trying to give up sugary drinks. I just do not need the friggin things. One cup of black coffee made me a bit jittery this morning.

Normally I walk to the bus stop in the morning. The other day I couldn’t and Nat ran late. I was very upset at getting in to work at a quarter to ten. I routinely get in around 7:00 when I walk. It is better when I do it myself. I should do it more just because I need the exercise if nothing else. We are on the way back down the time curve. That is, the sun comes up later and later now. Soon I’ll be back on the flashlight walk.

I hadn’t been able to go to lunch as much. Really, it was money that stopped me. I need to cut back to once a week at most. I used the ankle as a convenient excuse. The timing worked out well that I was able to walk on a Thursday. That is our Chinese food day.

Dr Visit this Afternoon

Going to the doctor today to get my ankle looked at. I’m sure I’ll get the same doac of anti inflammatories and a steroid to promote healing. It has been over a year since my last visit, so they can’t just call it in.

The symptoms are a bit different this time round. The pain is the same, but instead of touching the area sending a wave of agony up my leg, it kind of feels good. Same with putting on a lace up boot. It is strange.

This time round has lasted longer as well. It is annoying not being able to walk to lunch for example. I’ve turned down a couple of good trips because I just didn’t want to walk to the restaurant from work. That is eating in to my facetime with coworkers. That is important because I’m an asshole at work, but not so bad at lunch. Breaks things up.

At the agreed upon time for Nat to pick me up I call to find out what the delay is this time. It turns out there is a heated debate going on abou Elle shaving her armpits. ... How has my life come to this point?

We go to the doctor’s office, on the way we find out that Elle left her phone at her school. Nat dropped me off and ran to get her phone.

The doc ran me through some simple tests and I’m sure noticed that my swelling was not as bad as the first time. He gave me some scripts for a anti inflammatory and a steroid. I’ll start that tomorrow.

Ankle still hurts. Not nearly as much as it did before. It is not going away after a week so time to do the doctor thing. Wish me luck.

Z-pack, for my ankle

Yup

Notes

There is no more view -> HTML in the menu system of Google Docs. That is OK because the thing I need to do is put stuff on to my blog. I use Blogger. You would think they would work together to provide a seamless use case across Google platforms. Nooooooooo! As far as I can tell, all development has ceased on Blogger. There is a long term slow development going on with the Google Docs thing that seems to just sit there and  never fix things.

Where are all these illegal aliens (illegal immigrants, undocumented immigrants) being put? Well, it appears they are flooding military bases.

I still think anyone who goes through a bankruptcy should have to go around carrying a big bag of dollar coins to pay for everything for some period of time.

Home today with gout attack in my left ankle. I’m attempting to do a good amount of work from home. Really, I want to make myself available for people who may need my services. I know things. Things like where the blank DVDs are. Got asked that one this morning.

Made it through a meeting remotely. I should get a badge for that one.

Didn’t have to go very far for lunch today. Chicken Noodles and chips. mmm mm good.

In the afternoon, I had some issues with the VPN. That is the connection that allows me to act like I’m plugged directly in to the corporate network. it just kept dumping me after acting all nice and efficient most of the morning. Annoying.

I just don’t put much weight in asking people their opinion, even when I agree with the conclusions.
