A later start.

Then again, I was late down.  I didn't get home until around 19:30? 20:30?  Somewhere in there.  Then had to... relax in order to sleep.  I think I didn't go down until 22:30?  Not used to company, or even leaving the house.  Odd how the world goes.  My systems require certain things.  Up at 6:30, bed reset, dressed well enough for around the house, hair brushed and put up, teeth brushed, beard brushed a bit.

Very good.  Today?  I don't know.  Clean enough for a foray, if possible.  Just not sure I have any gumption.  Sleepy, tired, dusting off psychic cobwebs, but I think I'll make it to full consciousness before long.  Even comfortable in the cool of the morning.  Though best find my housecoat over the rest of the lost, or I'll find a chill, which is difficult to alter.

Closing in on payday.  Which is... proving to be more plentiful as I back away from spending.  Nearing as prepped a status as possible.  Now it is just replacement, when and where, of what is at a reasonable price, at any given time.  They are learning that gambling with prices won't work.  They will choke on stock that is priced too high until they price it correctly.

I have to wonder what buying has stopped?  The illegal money being stolen from the government, through this and that, which as finally dried up?  No more pot-addled purchases, from the do-nothings of all stripes?  Or is it corporate jet-setters, who were stocking their doomsday shelters, at any cost, and now they are sitting on too much, can't, don't, use any of it.  Though how many of our elites are pot-addled is a whole other question these days.

But, it seems amazon is crashing.  I won't be helping them myself.  Well, and keeping my house more secure has helped.  Not losing cat food tins by the handful, paper plates by the scores, and other food items in plenty.  Rats can have two legs.  Still losing some,  Just not as much, by far.  Either someone has gone, or they are finding it too difficult to b&e.

The snow we got yesterday melted off.  The temps have been staying between 28 and 32, though I haven't checked this morning.  Not a bad temp range, to be honest.  Especially with days of teens, weeks?  Not sure what they say is coming, or how the winter is supposed to be.  Not sure they wish to guess, these days.  The weather wars begun they have.  In full swing, to be honest.  Too bad Japan is in the way of China, by sea.  If... that isn't the only way at them.  

Then again, only fools war with weather.  It will end up making nukes seem mild.  There is some possibility that triggering a tsunami or hurricane or drought or flooding by other means has killed more civilians, if it's true, than all the wars past, already.  Not sure they are, or can, wouldn't be surprised at all.  Though, they can't control the weather, they can, if that is true, merely cause events.  Don't trust your government, at this point.  These war methods are economic, indiscriminate, and with side effects that may never quite heal.  Our "rulers" are fools, and control the government, at this time.

Has anyone else noted how many fewer trucks, semi-trailers, are out?  They haven't stopped, completely.  But that herd is sure slimmed.  See some parked, for extended times, with a full load.  Very strange.  The world is making up it's mind, to just stop, or figure things out.  Too expensive for civvies to have any input.  And corporations are eating government bennies like addicts on heroin, or whatever.  Firing employees, and still taking that money.  They know they don't have to do anything, but get fat, at this point.  Not just in America, the world over.  How many big international companies, not paying US taxes (if very few do) are getting subsidized?  The whole cruise line industry is un-American.  Have airlines delisted from the US too?  Cheaper to headquarter elsewhere.  Still getting US bennies?

Yes, grumpy.  Not happy about things.  Let the zombies crash, burn, sell, and either start back up or go away.  Amen.  Later.
