Pretty worn.

Just getting out and hiking around looking for the trails, shopping, and a few other things, seem to have been good in at least wearing me out.  Yes, that is a good thing.  I wish I could do more to earn it.  That isn't always how it goes.  In health, youth, or not.  Some days you have more, some days you don't.  And the temp had already begun striking the fire hour.  So... I'll take it.  I'll keep working toward it unless or until I break through or realize it's just too warm.  Then I'll work on another track, or two.  A lighter pack again, the kayak, whatever I can get through.  I'm pleased with what I am doing given the givens.  I have a couple of years, maybe three.  At this pace I will get there.

Some other things happened.  I don't share everything though.  Some things, days, dreams, are just my own.

I watched a show on Netflix that I really enjoyed.  The name of it was Primer.  If your not an engineering sort, don't bother.  If you are, and enjoy... more... it might be a pleasant diversion.  I do understand why most people won't enjoy it.  I'm not sure Non Sequitur is exactly an engineering thing, though there might be some overlap.  But Dilbert certainly plays well in my group.  Oh, and in that show, I realized the real reason behind me... sort of being kept out.  What DO you do with engineers over 40?  Right.  There you go.  Being gregarious, truly, is an engineering gaucherie.  True.  Being political, at all, at least publicly, is a faux pas of some note.  But all of those can be forgiven.  Being over 40 cannot.  Nor is there an interest from the side of academia, especially with faith and religiously based conservative ideals.  Over 40 for an engineer is like being over 30 for a single woman.  Honestly I did not know that it was that serious.  It, from the show and thinking back, is.

Oh, something odd.  I have not had time to tinker with blogger, my machine, youtube, or anything else.  It seems, however, that it has magically fixed itself.  Not sure it will stay fixed.  That might depend on which shift is working, which boss is paying attention, and some other such.  I have, after days, maybe a week actually, been able to watch videos, from my blog, and enlarge them.  No a crash since this morning before I left.  Amazing how self-repairing software is these days, innit?  I'm telling you, the numbers don't add up.  Stop just allowing it without a word, or surrendering to it, and they can't do it to you.  No, it's NOT the law.  Judges can't write law.  It's up to the legislators to correct that.  And it is up to us to put their feet to the fire on this.  DO IT!

Ugh, tired.  Not quite ready for bed though.  Maybe another show.  And a beer.  Hush.  I'll use the small cup.  *wink*  Later, or good night.
