November is strange this year, with the month ending on a Saturday. No writing about what I did for Small Business Saturday because it’s the final day when I write the wrap-up.
I think, though, I probably should venture to write at the same general time every day this year.
I think I figured out an effective spam filter to keep the foreign spambots at bay. I have no idea what the word is; I’d assume it’s some common word, but including it seems to have done the trick.
Maybe it’s because I’m not as opposed to him as I am Ofc. Harris, but I did actually watch all of the Rogan interview with Trump.
Don’t Know
I know I’ve gotten some incredibly negative responses whenever I’ve even broached Rogan, but I did watch through it. All three hours or whatever it was.
Just a ton of time talking about things I don’t at all about.
The bits about replacing the individual income tax with tariffs is interesting to say the least.
What will happen with the “payroll taxes?” Many, many, many, many politicians roll out things about “the rich not paying their fair share,” there are already many people who pay no income tax. NYT actually had a decent take on it here.
I’m wondering if eliminating voters’ confusion about what’s actually income taxes, and what’s contributions to the old-age programs might clear some things up.
Am I confident about that?
Not in the least. The “rich” will forever not be paying “their fair share.”
So, yeah, I put myself through all of that, and still haven’t made up my mind. That should tell anyone reading how much I dislike President Trump. No, I’m not going to call him “Former President.” It’s a title you keep. Jimmy Carter is still President Carter.
Bucco Bruce is back today, so I’m going to go watch football.
But there’s been so much else I’ve been preparing for to get ready for the end of the year.
Watching On Patrol Live last night, there were two spots in a row for Christmas ads. It’s not even Halloween! Am I ready for trying to figure out something to do with my wife since I can’t have a Lexus with a bow on its roof in the snow?
That’s supposed to start after Veteran’s Day.
Seriously.
Halloween seems to kind of passe these days. I remember seeing things the past few years about trying to actually move the date because, you know, safety. Trick-or-treating should be at from 4:30-6:00 the last Friday in October.
Let’s erase the religious significance from it. You know who else tried to excise parts of history that didn’t really fit? The FP had a thing the other morning about abortion being a health care right, and forcing Catholic hospitals to perform them.
Thinking more about it, after my initial you-can-leave attitude, it occurred ot me that, no, they wouldn’t. They’d stay to help take care of people because they’ve got a purpose higher than whatever some politician sets.
Senate? Yep. House, not that it matters in a district that’s been blue since the Northern Aggressors left in 1877? Yep. President? I still haven’t decided.
The WTF interview with Dan Crenshaw was about the best endorsement of Trump I’ve heard. (Interesting tidbit there, too, about RON PAUL(pbuh)’s strategy in the House that let him get things for his district, while still being able to vote against the larger bill…)
The interview with Reason kind of pushed me his direction, but then I saw some third party debate that reminded me of the things I really don’t like about him.
I guess the Trump interview with Rogan is up on YouTube, which might be better than dealing with Spotify, but I’m skeptical whether it’s worth three hours to still be undecided at the end.
I need more coffee, and this is meandering.
Still would like some more topic suggestions for next month.
Another week out of the way. I basically finished the big kludge I was working on for work, which required work last weekend.
The whole situation is um, strange. I’m caught in a strange place. No, I’m not talking about politics, where that description would fit for me with politics.
Maybe it’s something where I’m not really on anybody’s “side.” That, of course, makes me a legitimate target.
I’ve gotten polled a couple more times this week. Who are you planning to vote for?
I’m really not sure, but I’m leaning towards Chase Oliver at this point.
So. Trump?
Um, no.
I missed most of the Saints’ game Thursday night. Yes, it was my own doing, but I think I’ve improved this system’s reliability and performance by some of the things I’ve done. Unfortunately, that requires me to work most Thursday nights. I suppose when I fell into that pattern, Thursday Night Football wasn’t as much of a thing, but I forewent the Saints’ game to work.
Anyway, Sean Payton’s return to New Orleans was a pretty stunning success. The Saints’ readopting of boring same boring formula in use around the league. Andy Reid has done the same thing in Kansas City.
Obviously it’s effective. It’s also a bit boring.
Did you know that they pre-plan their first XX offensive plays?
Yeah, and I still don’t care.
Work on next month:

Likes and dislikes, plus things you thought you wouldn’t like, but have come to very much appreciate
It was someone working for the Republican candidate running against Don Beyer Volvo. This part of Alexandria has been a Democrat stronghold since the Northern Aggressors finally left in 1877, so there’s absolutely no chance he’ll win. I plan to quietly vote for Mr. Torres, but I don’t hold a lot of hope he’ll win.
The absentee ballot I don’t remember requesting is sitting next to my sinister hand. Actually planning to be out of town for Election Day, anyway, so it’s good.
I’m lining things up for what’ll be a busy month ahead.
I am going to write, but I have no idea what I should cover.

Wrap-up
But I think I’m pretty much, actually, wrapped up with medical stuff for the year. Next year is one thing after another
Should I do “Dry January” since I’m already going to have to go get my insides scoped?
