The switch.

.

.

He went ahead and put it in.  I just watched.  But I did watch.  Had a few questions.  Well, possible questions.  I pretty much knew, just checking.  And, it was the switch.  He hadn't brought a socket, which is fine.  He was thinking it might be a whole socket, in an enclosure.  And, while that could have been made to work, it is merely a ceramic (ish, these days) simple socket.  Still, all good.

Now I can go on to bed.  I didn't get much more done.  No shower, no north side in the kitchen, no more dishes.  The heat got up there, but a nap was out with him showing up when he could.  So... I just had to... sit through the heat of the day.  I couldn't get to work.

Not bad, though.  I did well, earlier.  And, will get more tomorrow, or tonight, or when I wake next.  It is 84 outside, and up front here.  I am going to try to stay awake until it gets to the mid 70s outdoors.  Then I can crack windows, and let it sort of cool, a bit, through the night.  It is 77 in the main and 84 here near the machine.  Getting close.  I sure wished it would be cooler, but knew it wouldn't be... not quite yet.

I'll check the litter boxes, and feed Sassy a bit more.  Then just browse the web until it's time to check again.  Would love to go on to bed.  But it's just... not time.  Later.

Oh... countries not on my list.  Though, they, for the most part, weren't on my list to start.  Still...  Oh, yes, there are some countries I would never visit.  These are some, by part, type, or nature.  I don't know why some people go to some places.  In places where you go, understand you are there at their governments pleasure.  The people have no say in either how the world is run, or how you are treated.  The people themselves could turn on you.  But just as likely, if you are being attacked by the people, it is because their government has told them to do so.  But many governments are awful.  I didn't realize Egypt was that bad.  But, I wouldn't go to a nation like theirs.  Wouldn't.  Would rather go to some African nations, most, over those.  And I don't want to go to African nations.

Now, this next one?  I... sort of get.  The beard means "traditional".

And, traditional, in Islam, means terrorism.  Even I got that one.  Though, I don't think that quite works for the first one though.  That was just... what it was.  They have learned beards means terrorist, terrorism, murderers, death.  See enough people blown up by bearded men, and, yea... you get an attitude.  We have the same questions in America.  Whether to, or not to, profile.  When they stopped doing it, crime has gone absolutely apeshit.  Pun intended.  So... yeah, I get it.

Even so, I wouldn't go there.

And there are... other places.  Actually, I would never go to Africa or the Middle East, not even Israel, save to fly through as required to get somewhere else.  I think I would visit Vietnam, definitely Thailand, maybe even Taiwan.  But only visits in two out of three of those.  Would like to see the Philippines, too.  Not interested in North Korea or China, even if they were open.
