There’s not a lot of time to type this morning as I have plans for the day. I’m not going to reveal those plans just yet because I’m not sure myself exactly how they might develop, but there are plans and I will be ready. I will be leaving town for the first time in a couple of years. There could be pictures involved. It might rain. Actually, I don’t have a lot of confidence in some of the weather forecasts I’ve seen. I think the bulk of the rain is going to our South. Rain or not, I’m escaping from my cage.
Knowing that I wasn’t going to be here today, I’ve already set you up with things to look at. If you didn’t read it yesterday, Is The U.S. Siding With The Enemy? takes an uncomfortable look at a few of the ways the US, both through publicly-owned companies and official government policy, is getting disturbingly comfortable with our enemies. Then, there’s Sunflower Stains in the Sun, a fun AI revision of a photo set we did back in 2011 that didn’t end quite the way we expected. You also have The Naked Spy Who Saved The World in case you’ve not seen that set yet. Topping things off, for those of you who are bored easily, I’ll be adding a video of Neil deGrasse Tyson and Richard Dawkins as they discuss Science, Religion, and Evolution. All of that together should keep you occupied for much of the day.
A couple of minor local things worth mentioning. The construction crew working on the new house next door (replacing the one that burned down a year and a half ago), got most of the framing done yesterday despite Hamilton’s attempts to get them to stop working and play with him. That is a good thing.
Then, some of you may remember me complaining a couple of years ago about the neighbors across the street having blown up $100+ of fireworks, leaving the street in front of the house a mess. That was one big box of fireworks. Yesterday, they unloaded four even larger boxes of fireworks. I don’t know when they plan to start setting them all off, but it’s going to be a miserable time for the dogs and I won’t be surprised if Kat up and leaves the state until they’re done. That’s not a good thing.
Me? I’m just ignoring everything because there are things I either want or need to do regardless of what pain I’m feeling where. I may be glued to the bed afterward, but it’s worth that eventual consequence to get out and enjoy life a bit now.
Someone has been using a reverse image lookup site to scope out this website for the past few days. I don’t know who you are or what it is you’re trying to find, but know that there are no full sets on here taken prior to October 2015 because of a complete server loss. We’re also missing several sets taken from 2020-2022 because of changes in the software. If we’re failing to sufficiently offend you, let me know and we’ll try harder.
I’m going to eat and then take a shower now. I know it makes you anxious wandering the internet on your own, but you can do it. I’ve left you plenty to do. Be brave. Keep the back door locked. Let the dogs out occasionally. You can do this. I believe in you.
