I’m not sure why I was trying to shoehorn-in this flashback to 2004. Election flashback to 2004<\/a>. I probably ought to go actually read that, but I’m really not feeling like it. Plus, there’s others in ear-shot, and they probably wouldn’t be interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, there’s still spasms surrounding the election almost a week later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But nobody has a clue on how to fix anything. I get that shooting someone might feel viscerally-satisfying, but that’s not going to do a damn thing about the $2,000,000,000,000 annual budget deficits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TheFP’s morning story kind of hit on it last couple of days, including this morning<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am OTR right now; I’m kind of proud of my restraint on this trip so far. Ooh, I have a coupon for late-night deliveries. I could totally go for a milkshake. But I’d have to spend another twenty bucks. I can be satiated with a sweet-ish protein bar, and policing off the alcohol I have left in my room. Maybe I’ll get dinner later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, start in on my “to-subscribe” list.
Do the stuff that’s on my list? No!

Sign up for something that’d quickly caught my ear, and I figured I wanted a bit more of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So. Feminine Chaos<\/a>. (And I do have a few free subs that came along…..email me<\/a> with something in the body proving you know me, or have read more than just this entry.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe I’ll get around to Smoke ‘Em If You Got ‘Em<\/a>. (Strange aside, Kat Timpf was talking in one of her social media posts about a Michelob Ultra version of weed that she’d prefer to the ultra-high-THC versions circulating on the street these days; is the secondary reason I’ve never tried weed is that I’m afraid?)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then some of the various “right wing” stuff I let lapse while I was broke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I think I’m just about finished here. I was able to use Muse to coordinate my ride for tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good football yesterday. The Saints are now tied for first place…at two games under .500 after the Bucs pulled off a loss to Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Day with Mom today, football tonight, then home tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After checking my draft entries full of prompts, I’m not finding anything I’d like to write about today. This isn’t very good work, but it’s about what I’ve got for now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
