Don't backsass.

I am impressed at how much some can ignore with their own eyes.  True, believe only half of what you see.  But do put in diligence to know which half to believe.  Don't sass.


I really don't care what most think.  From what I have seen, most people don't think well.  So, I pretty much have quit worrying about people's words and expressed thoughts.  You can't make a monkey do calculus.  Still, better to have someone not know a damned thing, but do the right things somehow.  Yeah, I don't always get that, and now I don't worry about it.  Whether it is Mother Teresa who lost faith but carried on, or some near neighbor who must have seen enough here to cause him great concern.  The hate emanating off him was intense.  I actually thought he might throw a punch.  I just grinned.  Honestly, what another man does, especially stepping into my arena on purpose to contest me, makes no difference whatsoever.  Win, lose, or draw.  Farmers really shouldn't challenge warriors.  Soldiers shouldn't either.  If you hate, and need to express it, I would suggest a solid rifle, some target practice, and with a hit a couple more shots as you get close enough to chop my head off.  Trust me, you don't want me coming back, again.  Will not be happy, or necessarily in control.  Still, not my call.  He ended up just heading off.  Realized I didn't care.  He might even be stronger, or have more stamina.  But the trick a warrior learns is that even mortal combat takes almost no energy when you just let it flow.  And I do, children.  It's as if a path has opened up.  Either allowing energy to flow like a flood but without cost, or angles and mechanisms have been optimized so that very little energy really is used.  Perhaps a bit of both.

Maybe, with some mix and match, you will understand the Shiva connection, and why Kali is going down.  Yeah, maybe.

Still considering working on the raft.  But it seems so hot!  It was 80 inside, and just a bit below that outside, tonight.  But it feels hot.  Depending on how rafting goes, if I can't cool off enough that way, I may end up heading north and or up for a few days and some serious cooling.  I don't care so much for overspending at some "resort" area.  Just some place higher up on a pass, maybe, or mountainside.  Or at least with a strong allowance for ac and a couple days of sleep.  Double shaded curtains and... hmm... maybe the console if they would allow me to game.  Some reading too.  Yes, three days to get my life back into order, cool off, and get ready to tear back in?  Maybe.  And yet, I really want to shade structure and kayak ready, sooner rather than later, in case some other problem arises in the process.  We'll see.  Later.
