I had to make coffee this morning. Usually I have it set up at night. I just don't live such a life that anything is absolutely, or even mostly, regular. It is best to do it at night, in case I need to grind more coffee. Grinding coffee is a minor pain. In the morning, though, it feels like coffee is being held hostage by the annoyance. And everything sounds louder in the morning. No problems, there was enough coffee ground, and probably for tomorrow. Still, a bit of grinding will take place today. I was slow to make it though, not being sure when my mother would wake. She does sleep longer, or this time. Now that my health has improved, hard work, long day, doesn't matter. To bed early or late, usually not a problem. After seven to eight hours I wake. Of course, that means I get some screen time, my news, and quiet time to post. Today more so. She is tuckered, napping already this morning. While she never stops, when she gets started, she does eventually run out of steam. Today she is tuckered. Me and the bugs are having a ball. Actually, I think even the girls are rejoicing. Her 'busy mode' scares them too!
I did set up medicines when I ran out, so those are back online without a skip. I also figured out why the ac was taking so long to cool my room. The other window was open as widely as it goes. Behind the thick curtain, with no wind, and being pretty much at the end of my day, I didn't remember to check. Should be better with that closed. I might take a minor nap before long. I would normally play PS3, but she is snoozing to the tv. Trying to steal that for my use would wake her. Don't wake sleeping dragon women. Just trust me. She'll start looking around for work. After I get the h.w. heater in, the new toilet in, the garden planted, and cut the branches, there is a decent chance there will be time to help her do some of the odd things she wants done. Assuming I don't lop my fool head off with the chainsaw up in the tree. I actually think, with what remains, that if I can start tomorrow and keep her at bay, I can have my work done by Monday night. Tuesday at the latest. And right down to having the branches towed to where the city allows us to dump wood, branches, and sich.
Sure is a nice morning though. A shower before too long, and a limited air dry. With company present, mom included, my natural hesitancy to show too much skin will put some limits on my endeavor that way. I still keep wondering how far Google, Verizon, and the others, have gone. Have they merely been party to the domestic spy apparatus, or have they also participated in everything from hacking, to sabotaging blogs they don't like, to who knows. Did they open these things up for petty activists and bureaucrats? I've seen posts of mine all but ruined with typos and things, ones I have edited well. Looking back I see where old posts have been destroyed... grammar, word usage, even to some of them becoming totally nonsensical. I would easily see Google doing it, they pretty much hate America. Verizon, the others? Probably more neutral, but happy to go along if the money or corporate favors are in the offing. Hard to know. And we probably never will get to the bottom of it. Nobody in government or business wants us to know just how bad it is always, and how much worse it truly got. They share Zero's hubris, as well. They, if you ask them, do what they do for "our good".
A time for choices, top to bottom, side to side, whole and complete. Unfortunately, as I have suggested, people have chosen.
Questions, questions, questions. This is the fear they wish to instill throughout America. Fear of speaking out, fear that to resist is to invite unacceptable consequences.
ReplyDeletePiss on them all.
They won't scare some of us, that's to be sure. Even without God and eternity counted in, they are cowards. Even if they vastly outnumber us they will still probably lose.
ReplyDeleteThese recent revelations are not news to those of us who've been paying attention. I had to wonder what the hubbub was all about until I realized that the average Joe had no idea of what some of us have known for a couple years already.
ReplyDeleteYep. What, if anything, that gets me, is that so many are STILL in denial. Then again, there are still Stalinists who lost their whole family, village, and more in cases who still refuse to realize it was a horrible failure. I feel sorry for those, most of them died inside. Literally shocked into mental death and doing whatever anyone told them in the hopes they wouldn't be next. But Americans? No excuse.
ReplyDeleteSig94, to resist is to invite consequences, period. Whether they are "unacceptable" or not is something you have to decide. When you take the view that includes eternity, then certain things may become "acceptable" that otherwise temporally-limited beings might find unacceptable.
ReplyDelete(And, I am sure with the above paragraph, I just invited additional scrutiny... So be it. I fahrt in yur general direcsion, you so-called "kings", you wahperz of other peoples bottoms! Now, go away or I will taunt you a second time-a!)
I'm never quite sure of how it will go down when it goes from cold to hot. I know some specific and, to me, large number of people are just going to be disappeared, probably terminated. Now, I see a larger and larger number of people deciding, or realizing really, what is happening and turning against it. I guess my question is how many will get in line to 'not be next', and how many will stay the course, and even how many will join the legions against.
ReplyDeleteAmericans are a... little unsettled, in secular terms. They aren't as domesticated as the European has become. Though, as with some of Europe, when they can't domesticate they incite them to be feral. Top to bottom on yet another paradigm... squeeze out the middle.
It is coming.
My mother thinks all of this, of course, is silly. I asked if her news (she watches the liberal networks) had bothered to mention the domestic spy program that just blew open. Okay, I think that got her attention in a lot of ways. I saw fear in her eyes. Then again, she will probably just blink it off and vote for Hillary, as if even that matters at this point. Actually, I doubt if she knows about the IRS, Benghazi, or any other scandal either. Can't help her, if she doesn't want to know and chooses not to see, as probably with my brother.
