Hot

 Hot day and still on that treadmill to economic collapse and doom. Deal 41 crashed and burned. Blame it on Israel, and you'd be dead right. I predicted that. Anyone at all could have predicted that. A lot of folks predicted that. Nice to see Moscow getting hammered. And that's it for current events-- still a clusterfuck. When has it not been a clusterfuck? I think the answer is: never. Ah well, let the pundunts pundunt. It's a sorry business. I try my best to disengage. Easier sometimes than others. In general keep it simple and keep it close to home. I found optimum picks for each of my electric guitars, so instead of using the same picks for each one, like all mediums and all of one material and from one manufacturer, I've gone to different gauges and different styles for each. Like, I've got a couple of picks I made from an old Fina card years ago. One is a regular guitar pick shape but the other one is more of a triangle with rounded corners. One guitar is best served by a plain white medium, another by an orange Fender heavy, and so on. None of my guitars have the same feel or sound, so a pick optimized to the character of each guitar makes sense. 

Yesterday evening I did see a few bees and that was encouraging. And today it might not get as hot as forecast, and that would be a boon. Among so many banes a boon is a treat.
