The shaving mug joke has worn thin. But there are other jokes, like demons and aliens and flying saucers floating around. People seem to thrive on that sort of nonsense and even crave it. That sort of stuff can be amusing but never take it seriously. So yesterday it was quite warm, verging on hot, but today it is cloudy and cool with slight chances for scattered storms. What is NOT amusing is our lack of significant rainfall. Also not amusing is the death of academic freedom at TTU, thanks to a right wing ditto head as Chancellor. I doubt that it matters much to the average Tech student, whose priorities revolve mostly around sex, parties, and football. Not much has changed. I don't object to any of that. When I was at tech, back in the day, I shared the same interests, with the exception of football. Anyone who wants to learn can learn anything they like about any topic because the books are still available. And there is Youtube! Lots of garbage there but also lots of good stuff. Some people are more into the garbage because it's easy and popular. And so it goes. And I do continue to enjoy fine shaves from that somewhat novel shaving mug. My cheap generic disposable razor is starting on its second month and maybe I'll toss it soon.
