Odds and Ends

Some say polo shirts are a sign of fashion faux pas.  And, while in some circles, that might certainly be true.  If cost/price (there is a difference you know) is a factor, then there are polos that might just fit haute couture.  No, the notion of the author regarding haute couture notwithstanding, few could say that much of the hubbub regarding fashion is induced by the expense. If your humble host should ever deign to go high class, this is as close as he could get. A man can dream!

Now that an ear wax spoon has been purchased, and use is an ongoing thing, the notion to store the ear wax for some future use was considered, if mostly in jest.  Still, the notion was put out that such a thing might go forward.  With the collecting device at hand, all that would be needed is a storage device.  A mint tin would be just perfect.  To at least giving the notion some reasonable nod, since that was all but promised, what had to happen before a tin was obtained is to find out of what ear wax is composed so as to find some use for it.  To that end, here is the general composition of ear wax. Now, no further study has occurred in order to either find a general use for ear wax in conglomerate or find particular uses for the more useful composite parts, nor a means of separating the composite parts should they be the better for some particular or even general use. Oh, a silly notion to be sure, but an entertaining pursuit. In time, it is hoped that further research may find a number of options for both conglomerate and part use and the separation processes for ear wax components. A mint tin... to be sure... is under considerations at this point. HUSH!

In finality for the informative aspect of this post, an article that may enhance my ability to conscientiously purchase a solar array system, should the money ever by saved for such a system.  It seems that solar systems, panels at the very least, produce chemicals that are anywhere from 12k to 23k times more causative of global warming than CO2 is supposed to be in their construction!  Oh, while since Gore has had (after being shamed) a huge solar system installed on at least one of his (23 times normal energy usage) mansions, the hope of filling Gore's CO2 (etc. now) footprint is far from possible, that with the little shoes available, it might be said when time is done that at least some bit of that was done within personal capacity, there will be pleasure here.

Now for a personal update. Sleep has gone completely haywire again. Long sleep times and long wake times are vying to put the day schedule that had been obtained onto the junkpile. Going to bed at 5:00 this morning, waking at 18:00 this afternoon, staying up for 18-22 hours at a time, life has become a bit difficult to manage again. The suspicion is that blood pressure may be moving again, hopefully downward. What has been seen in the past is that blood pressure will not actually move for some time, a day, three days, a week, while life becomes a bit odd.  Blood pressure might even go up a little bit in that time frame.  Then it will suddenly drop. But before that drop, life becomes a little hairy, itchy, rough. That is not to say, definitively, that this is the case. It is only a relatively respectable possibility considering that medication is being taken diligently, and this is the exact pattern as it happened in the past. One can hope. Once blood pressure stabilizes, life can get a little to a great deal better. Again, there is hope. As can be imagined, very little is happening on the homefront. A bit of cooking, keeping up on coffee since (for a number of reasons) regular easier to administer caffeine doses have not been obtained has been happening, and the girls are being fed. Other than that, life is pretty much on hold until that next shift in blood pressure, and then some stability returns. But... There is hope, and a real faith, that life will be improving soon. Either that or death is approaching. Heh! All good.
