So very tired.

I did fix the dutch baby.  I won't call it my favorite.  It was something new, different.  And, honestly, I would like to work on the recipe.  I get the feeling there was too little egg.  More, I would like to perfect the recipe.  If he was cooking at sea level, which I somehow suspect being from Florida, I need to adjust some things.  It isn't just cooking times that elevation affects.  More so in semi-arid areas.  It's been raining lately, so I don't know if that has been a factor.  Still, everything from how acids affect other food to times on to other factors seem to make baking, frying, and other cooking just a wee different.  Yeah, I will try this again before too long.  More egg for certain, perhaps more moisture of some sort in general.  A full cup instead of 2/3rds cup of milk?  Yes.  Still, it was fun.

I made it to the event tonight.  The father of a local, from here in my town, is a Mormon archaeologist.  He put on a presentation.  Really?  Pretty good.  Much better than I thought, though I did think it would be reasonably good.  I noticed he is running into lots of trouble with mainstream academia.  Then again, everyone is.  And ms academia is proving to be a failure in so many ways.  Some things I have learned, against ms academia, he has found as well.  He has found things, from a different perspective, that support things I have found on my own.  It is amazing how many circles of non-traditional science is finding that mainstream stuff is outright hiding material, lying, and more.  Some of it is political, some is anti-religion, some of it seems to be entrenched beliefs that mainstream refuses to reconsider, but there is more.  I don't know if there is a single overarching reason, though it seems more that academia is refusing to consider anything that isn't to their liking.  Their flaws are becoming all of what they are!  Amazing.  Louts.  White collar union thugs.  Liars, cheats, thieves, and worse.  We have to break those unions and leftist only hiring practices, and tie retention to validity of their works.

Much of what I have found can be comparably, and favorably, applied to many of the notions presented.  Some things, some links, I thought were a bit weak.  Some I didn't see the connection.  And yet, with all the flaws... and I expect some... I think he has done a very good job.  Far better than mainstream academia.  His faith may get ahead of his science here or there.  Though that is better than those who refuse to believe in God, god, gods, or anything else and so excise any piece of information that might confirm what they deny.  I will be checking some data points that were new.  I want to find outside sources, both confirming and denying.  Then compare notes.  It's how I do.

One of the major examples was the notion that a certain group of Americans were using a written language that was either exact, or quite similar, to a form of Egyptian hieroglyphics.  I heard, perhaps a half or full dozen years ago, about a German scientist who, while testing various ages of mummies out of Egypt, for trace elements, discovered that coca matter, tobacco, and a few other biological specimens had been used in mummies across a fairly wide time span.  She was afraid to go public with it, believing she would be terribly derided.  So she tested enough, and double and triple checked, so that she felt she had to go forward with her find, to publish.  Why is that important?  Those biologics are only native to the Americas.  Whether those findings have been proven, or perhaps even disproven, I don't know at this point.  I do know she hit a major snag in her career.  And, even if she might prove correct, that may mean nothing as her career might still be crushed and her data eliminated from availability.  It's just how modern academics works quite often.  Not sure why, on this one.  It's just the way it is.

It is about bedtime.  Perhaps yesterday was just a quirk regarding my sleep patterns.  I am not just tired, but sore, somehow.  Oh... I know... all the dishes.  When I fill, move, drain, move again, a large bin full of water, pots, pans, utensils... and do that wet or dry... I think it has beat me up a bit.  All good.  Good night.
