Raining?

.

It is February.  Crazy.  It jangles the nerves.  It could freeze at any moment, leaving sheets of ice that would be harsh to try to get through.  It really could shut everything down for a good while, if it went bad at the wrong time.  There is also still a goodly amount of snow out there, which will melt with the rain and because of the temps that allow for it to rain.  Oh well.  It is wonderful to sleep with the warmer temps and pitter-patter.

I slept well enough, I think.  Not too deeply, not too shallow.  I woke at 4:00(ish).  I looked over the news.  There really isn't much happening that I find interesting.  Though, for you, generally, that is a good thing.  I tell you, this last week, I had a sense that something big, and bad, was going to happen.  About midweek to near the end, I felt as if that had broken.  Either the plans were interrupted or pulled.  Of course, with things like that, it might be delayed... assuming the players weren't caught, rounded up, and are sitting in a nearly cosmic circular file.  I think .int, .mil, and .sec realized, from Zero, that they can't trust the president and certain other aparatus to secure enemies who need to be secured.  They won't make that mistake again?  Maybe.  That is a slippery slope, and, yet, it is what it is.  Given a choice of trusting them, with serious oversight, in the shorter term, and trusting Zero, I have to go with them.  Actually, that is how it used to be done, until someone decided hot, multi-national, international, wars was a better idea, then just started zapping people with bomb tossing flying robots.  Yeah... choices.

I'd love to rent a movie, or find something to watch.  But have you seen what they offer lately?  I am trying to finish off some books.  The weather, which is causing me to be drousy already, doubles or triples the effect of reading... even when I can wake well enough to read in the first place.  Gah!  I have several books lined up for next, hopefully a bit more engaging then the ending of Dante's Comedies.  One of the poets will be chosen, as well as either the Silmarillion or Children of Hurin, by JRR Tolkien.  I am enjoying having two books, of different sorts, to read at a time.  If one does not quite suit the mood or interest, the other might well do.  Both were physical books this last time.  Next will be one real and one ebook.

Oh, sudoku has been very good recently.  In the last two weeks, on a virgin run, I have hit a 13, 11, 9, several 7, and a 5 second score.  Now, while I can do these, I don't hit them, usually, this often.  Even for me this is fast on fast.  Often only hitting one of the superfast times once every week or two.  That's a superfast score every other day, and, with how things have been, I haven't been playing every day.  So... yeah... very good.

Later.
