My Idea Of A Good Day

 My idea of a good day is a quiet and uneventful day. If I can get something accomplished that is going to be the icing on the cake. And the very best part of any day is the end of that day. 











I'm getting to the point of having nothing but sunflowers for this blog, unless I actually get out and photograph other things, and I've located several places that might be interesting, but I have not been sufficiently motivated. I'm thinking that winter might see me skulking around in alleys and among ruins again. Bleak weather goes well with bleak places and scenes.

Labor Day Weekend

 Except for travel, this is a pretty inoffensive holiday. They should all be like this. I'm not traveling, so it's no big deal. I ought to get some hot dogs! I just might do that. I'm too old to care very much about a healthy diet. I do not fear processed foods. Let processed foods fear me-- ha ha. 











I could go all crazy with fast food and junk food and it would not matter at all. I'm going to a gym again but also maintaining my at home free weight stuff. I need calories and protein, a lot of each.

One Day At A Time

 Every day I remind myself that I can only do so much. Keep my goals modest. And I'm always happy to have another day behind me. Sleep is essential. Know my limitations-- that's another important thing, and keeping life as simple and uncomplicated as possible. Keeping it simple is not easy. 











And so many things are not my fault. If life is cruel and stupid, it's not my fault. I try to make it LESS cruel and stupid. I've always tried to do that. 
NASA's pathetic moon rocket springs a leak again. How many billions have already been flushed down that toilet? Boeing should be taken over by the feds and stripped of every asset, sold off to cover their expensive failures. That company used to be run by engineers. Now it is run by corporate bean-counting scum. Screw Capitalism and Capitalists. I don't expect anything better from Space X. More likely than not the so-called Starship will be a spectacular failure.

Sunflower Time

 It's amazing how many Russians fall out of windows when they piss off Putin. It's kind of funny. It's not like the people who are getting bumped off, those oligarchs, deserve to live anyway. Killing oligarchs is probably the only good thing Putin has ever done. I posted a link to a very good quiz show in the last post, and I highly recommend it. I might repost it again next time because it is spot on. But for now, as clear skies return, at least for a few days, I want to see sunflowers.

Record Rainfall

 I had to deal with flooded streets and intersections yesterday, and the playa lakes are beyond full and verging on flooded. Nice. Looks like today we get a chance to dry out a little. Las Vegas has only twenty days of potable water left? That's interesting. I've never been to Las Vegas and I'm sure I'd dislike the place intensely. Noisy, lurid, chaotic and way too crowded. Gambling has no appeal and I'm sure I wouldn't want to associate with the kinds of people who might be attracted to a city like Las Vegas. So, if they run out of water to drink, I could not care less. I care not at all.  TERRIFIC GAMESHOW!! TERRIFIC GAMESHOW!!
