The link is above. 20,000 files from the Epstein estate. Free. The people who did this did it as a public service. It's a good thing we've got such people, doing the right thing. Record highs continue, mornings, cool but not cold. I like the warmth, frankly.
Record highs after those cool mornings, and it cools off rapidly in the evening. Couldn't be better, except for the lack of rain. Gobs of sunshine. I use heat very moderately, and AC not at all. Lowest electric bill ever.
Lack of rain is the only problem. Cold mornings and very warm days continue. I like this weather a lot. But I'd like it better if we could get some rain. I'm getting the impression that MAGA males, especially conservative Christian MAGA males, really get off on the idea of raping preteen girls. So Trump's Epstein ties would only make them admire him more-- "What a MAN! That Trump is my kinda guy! Rip 'em and rape 'em Donny Boy!" And it's been common knowledge for thousands of years that with wealth comes pathology and, let's face it, EVIL. The richer they are the fouler they are. The typical modern billionaire would make Caligula look like a boy scout. There are undoubtedly exceptions but very few and very far between.
It turned out to be a boring game. I caught about 75 seconds of it and I was bored. I guess TTU will rise in the rankings. I guess the homecoming fans were satisfied. I guess a lot of them left early, since TTU had such a big lead and BYU wasn't able to accomplish anything. Cold this morning but sunny and it didn't freeze. Probably a freeze tomorrow morning but by mid-week it will be quite warm again. It sure is dry. Still a paucity of migratory birds. They are late this year. Things are pretty stable in my life. I retired in 2002. I worked in a research lab for a year, beginning in 2004, I think, and I don't understand why I did that. I fulfilled my obligations there and quit. They needed someone with expertise in a certain area, and they got that. I got to write part of a grant proposal and I proofed the document before it was submitted to NIH. It was funded and I was asked to return to work on that new project but I declined. Enough. Some people feel lost after they retire and have too much time on their hands. Not the case with me. I was happy to have left the work force and happy to be master of my time and I threw myself into projects of my own, ramped up my personal exercise routines, and gave much time to hobbies. I have never had any regrets about retiring so early. It has all worked out quite well.
It starts off crisp and sunny. Today TTU and BYU slug it out on the playing field inside of what used to be Jones Stadium. I don't know what they call it now because I don't know which corporate sponsor is being honored currently. And on both sides of the fray, fans pray for victory and ask of the Lord, Hoo doo You love? The Crackling Christians of TTU or the Maniacal Mormons of BYU? HOO! DOO! YOO! LUV??? TTU's relatively high rankings are at stake, post-season bowl game placements are at risk. Can it get anymore nail-biting than that? Is any question of any greater cosmic importance? And for TTU it is homecoming, which puts the gravy on the cake for sure. The ancient pageantry of Homecoming, and a clash of titans, will put the final dabs of paint on our dreams of immortal glory. And don't you dare forget the American Flags waving in the wind today.
There is just enough wind today to make them look pretty.
