Power outage?

.

.

Planned, for my town.  Apparently the whole town.  But... why today?  It is 35 degrees out there.  It is a two hour thing, so should, assuming things go as planned, be two hours.  So it probably won't be a problem.  I am turning the furnace from 68 to 74, in an attempt to store some heat.  It'll be a bit warm, for my current tastes, but hopefully not too terrible.

But why not do this a week ago, when the days were still hitting 70?  Or at least 60?  Why wait until it is 35, and raining?  They really need to plan these things better.  Is it bureaucracy, or trying to be cheap by pushing things to the last minute in some bean-counter theory of saving money, when they really aren't saving money.

No, perhaps, the parts they needed were on backorder, and only arrived.  These days, what is needed is what is missing.  The junk you don't need, is both plentiful and cheap.  If you want a huge television which spies on you?  Cheap.  They are almost giving those away.  They haven't gotten the message, from brighter people, that being spied on isn't of interest.

I wondered how they got dirt on every one in power.  And, everyone has dirt, mind you.  Their televisions, electronics of various sorts, and the internet.  Stalin would have loved the modern world.  That is how he got, and held, power.  Well, and people's shame.  Interesting how weak atheists, and other non-believer types are, to their sins.  They try to suggest they don't care, but they are terrified of people finding out what they truly are.  And, only the worst of them are allowed access to some power, if those who 'give' them power, have the power to change anything they do or say.  Or to simply toss them aside, when they are done with them... BoJo, as an example.  And his near sister, twisted and tossed in record time.  Interesting.

Well...  I'm gaming.  Moving right along.  Though, with some missions, they are almost pure puzzles.  And, while I am decent at puzzles, at some point I run out of options.  In the current mission, I had to solve... six rather intricate things, and have done well.  But... I am done.  I can't find anything else, or even see anything to manipulate.  This game just pulls new things out of it's butt, without giving you any clue as to how to solve it, from past experiences.  Which is fine, up until it isn't.  So... I'm actually on here to look that up.  I even figured out how to grapple the batmobile over an edge, to give me an angle by which to fire it's cannon at the roof, as an example of... problem solving.  But, at this point, I can't sort what to do next.

Anyway... on to... figuring out the game.  Ah, and I did get insulin in.  Though, I have quit trying to use just the long lasting insulin, and have added in the fast acting stuff.  I had gotten to 60 cc's of the slow acting stuff, and it isn't working.  Part of why I stopped insulin, was... pouting.  I was asked to do something that doesn't seem to work.  Well, back to it, I suppose.  Just... the way that works, not the way they want.  Later.
