No Mass Shooting

 Not here, that I am aware of, but I have not checked the local news yet. I ventured forth to get something from Home Depot and right away had to make way for an ambulance. And then more sirens while I departed Home Depot. People get all hopped up on Homecoming football mania and drive fast and drive crazy. Yes, yes, evidence every day that most people are idiots. But at least I don't think we had a mass shooting. Cool morning and a nice evening last evening, again, and a red sky at sunrise today. What does that mean? Gee, I'd call it a blazing red sky. I'm glad I don't have my shrimp boat out today!

Many will go to church this morning and pray to the LORD to protect their guns. 

Homecoming

 Homecoming weekend in Raider Land and I've never been able to understand what that is all about. Trivial and stupid, isn't it? And what does football have to do with academia? College football just illustrates how seriously defective the quotidian human brain is. Good time to avoid the area around campus, that's for sure. It's one of those stupid, ritual, cultish, tribal things I guess. But you can SMELL the excite-MINTS! The stink of excite-MINTS is in the very air we breathe! Wheeee! Woooo! I'll just take a pass on that. Nice morning! Nice evening last evening, even though temps are above average. That's to be expected. Global warming is real, and human "civilization" is the reason, the cause, of that warming. I have no doubt whatsoever. But on to other topics!

A cursory examination is sufficient to reveal what a shoddy, defective, piece of crap the human body really is. Do NOT talk to me about intelligent design. It's a ticky tacky universe, as far as one can see. 99.999999999% of it, at least, is absolutely lethal to any form of life, and the parts that are hospitable to life are only barely hospitable, and then only for a short time, and always under the threat of sudden annihilation. So feel free to get blind stinking drunk, stuff your face with garbage and enjoy you some of that there football whoop-te-dooo!

A Beautiful Morning

 By any standard, very fine, and last evening was terrific as well. This is shaping up to be a good October. By the way, the advice I'd give any young woman would be to skip all thoughts of family, and focus on career. Marriage is the most masochistic and self-limiting choice that a woman can make. If you can afford it, have your tubes tied. Ignore your parents, ignore all other family members, ignore your church, because none of them have your best interests at heart. Do NOT fall into the hopeless trap of marriage and family. If you must marry, make sure that there will not be children. Selfish? I don't think so. Besides, if it is selfish, isn't selfishness considered a virtue today?  i don't think anyone should be a slave to their instincts. Or a slave to societal norms, or cultural traditions. And make no apologies. 

I suspect that conservative women have a slave mentality. 

Warming Again

 Up and down the temperatures go at this time of year. We got some rain last afternoon, which surprised me. A nice surprise. Great evening last evening. I was out pretty late on the patio enjoying the cool breezes. 

More Like October

 Cool and cloudy this morning and it's even more like October than yesterday. Step by step. I did more outside last evening. The path I made last year, I think it was, got a bit overgrown and it actually sank. I'll fix that this weekend after I buy a dozen sixteen inch square pavers. I'll just put those on top of what I already have, in the part that sank into the soil.  And then later some bricks to fill gaps and I'll need twenty of those. The work is never done but if ever got "done" then what would I have to do, eh? The secret garden is a work in progress and it changes from year to year. Never the same! That "channeling" stuff no longer interests me at all, and although I could do a lot of fiction I don't see the point. I can be as withdrawn now as I want to be, and I find that I want to be VERY withdrawn. I'm very annoyed when I go to the gym and find someone who wants to make conversation. I'm not there for that. And yet I see people in the gym who do almost nothing else, or they sit on a machine and stare at their smart phones. I don't understand the people who live in and by and for and through their smart phones. Of course, if that's what they want to do, let them do it. Let's just say that they aren't people I want to know or have anything at all to do with. They impress me as defective, even pathological. They give me the creeps. They seem like some kind of mutant organism. Alien. I realize that some people in the gym have an agenda of some sort, a social agenda, and maybe they are trying to hook up to someone for one reason or another, but I'm there to get a workout, a good, solid, workout, and that is ALL. 

I don't have a social agenda of any kind, as far as I can tell. I used to, but not now. In fact, not in the past seven or eight years. All gone.
