Welcome to Friday! Is it just me or does it seem that Labor Day was a month ago, not just five days? The week has been long and trying for a number of people. Personally, I spent most of yesterday alone and in bed. I didn’t know when Kat left for work, and since the kids went to the salon after school, I didn’t know when any of them came in last night. The dogs were quite willing to spend the day in bed with me, getting up only when they picked up on Police cars outside. Exactly how they know that without looking out the window, I don’t know. One was giving a neighbor a parking ticket for having their vehicle parked over the sidewalk. I’m not sure what the second was doing as they left before we could get outside. I guess all the real crimes have sufficient manpower if they’re out writing petty tickets for non-crimes.
The only thing I expect to be different about today is that the temperatures will be cooler. There’s an off chance of a random rain shower, but looking at things this morning, I think it’s all going to stay primarily to our North. Even if we do see a few drops hitting the ground, it will be so little that it won’t put a dent in the moderate drought conditions we’re currently facing. With no rain and temperatures yo-yo-ing up and down, the outlook for a brightly-colored autumn diminishes. Leaves are more likely to go straight to brown, eliminating the colorful fall foliage that everyone enjoys.
There’s not a lot in the news that’s worth talking about, either. The father of the shooter at Apalachee High School has been arrested and charged with murder. Police are saying that he knowingly allowed his son to take the weapon that killed four people on Wednesday. For a moment yesterday, it appeared as if the shooter’s extended family was willing to come to his defense, but all of those posts and articles have since been deleted, raising the question as to whether they were legitimate in the first place. Probably the most important article regarding the shooting is this piece from the Associated Press on How to talk with kids about school shootings and other traumatic events. Then, notice the silence from your politicians. “Thoughts and prayers” is about all they’re saying. That means nothing is going to change and more children and teachers will die because of their cowardness.
The first NFL game of the season was last night and, at least on paper, the Chiefs won, 27-20. Every sportscaster outside of Kansas City is questioning that win, though. A Ravens’ last-second touchdown was nullified in a move that culminated a night of hard-nosed and questionable officiating. Before the game, the NFL issued a memo stating that certain rules would be judged harshly. Those judgments affected the Ravens much more than they did the Chiefs. While all the complaints are likely to fall on deaf ears, if this kind of officiating proceeds into Sunday’s games, fans could deliver a severe financial blow to the NFL by turning away from the sport.
If there was ever any question as to whether the Orange Felon was lying about January 6, 2021, the truth is being exposed in court. All the collusion, deceit, and blatant efforts to overturn the election are being laid out clearly. What’s being presented in courts is a story that not even NPR has picked up. Anyone who votes for the Felon after seeing all this evidence can only be considered a traitor to the Constitution.
What happens to priests who are accused or convicted of abuse? They end up here.
I’m not expecting much news over the weekend, either. This is the time of year that tends to be historically boring. Sure, there have been exceptions, such as 2001, but overall September is usually a good time to take vacation. I won’t, of course, but don’t expect there to be as much to talk about.

Which is fine. That leaves more time for coffee.
