Warming.

Heating, really.  It is 78 out there, partly cloudy but it doesn't matter.  The reports suggest today will be the warmest day for a while, getting to 81.  But it is only supposed to be 74 now, so... your mileage may vary.  It's hot.  Actually.  The next warmest day I have seen in a few months has been 73.  Before that, 52 has been a typical day out there.  Nuggets!

Oh well.

I tried something I have been meaning to try for a while... roe.  Oh, not... the fancy stuff.  Just humble men's offerings.  Stuff I could afford, in smaller doses, from time to time.  Trying to add more seafood.  Most of the locals stores sell Chinese caught and/or processed, frozen or fresh.  I don't even trust their labels, at this point.  When it became obvious what was happening, they just... changed the labels.  Why would a Chinese fishery brand all of a sudden be coming out of Vietnam?  And, since when did Vietnam, or Laos, or some other dubious nations, have access to enough fishing waters, or commercial fishing boats, to deliver any kind of product?  No...

Gotta watch em' every step of the of way, I'm telling you.

Anyway... so... roe.  On cream cheese, put on those keto crackers.  I tried it straight up.  A bit... gamey, fishy, salty.  I had heard it may be better to rinse them.  A tricky thing, for smaller roe, but... doable... with acceptable losses.  Nope.  Just too fishy/gamy.  Oh, and, yes, I have tried expensive roe.  I still think it is a joke being played on the ultra rich, like diamonds, pearls, and other such.  Trust me, they get screwed, if they seem to enjoy it.

So, no.  Roe won't work.  I have sardines, and other canned fishes.  And places to buy fresh American fish, if those are beyond my means.  Then again, so is beef these days.  I have tried to fish, but just gas and the lack of success make that a no-go at this point.  So, I guess, canned tuna, salmon, sardines, and the like, will simply have to do.

While doing rounds, I... had to laugh.  Moderns?

And... before them.  Not sure there is much difference.

Though... it looks like they have been having trouble with... things... for a very long time.  We aren't the first generation to be troubled by the despoiled.  If... our methods of interaction seems to have... become much... inferior.  Oh, I know... what some think, or believe.  But... well... I'm actually much more dubious of most of you.

Oh, and... someone remember my... difficulty with women folk.  Oh, aye.  Believe as you wish.  But... someone knows, or thinks they know.  And, to my mind, scores well on the on-the-mark music.

Had to chuckle, if slightly bitterly.  Meh, I've been dead.  It... can be worse.
