I let the ac go all night, upstairs. Letting it time out downstairs. It was 73 in the main, upstairs, 75 near me... or 76. Comfortable enough. After days of heat, now, building, I need and want the cooler temps upstairs. And, will work on the downstairs, a bit. Not even eleven and it is already 82 outside. Which is due to that hot air coming through last night. It didn't cool.
Oh, there are people who have it far worse. Las Vegas, for example. I had friends traveling that way for personal business, and last I heard it was going to be 118 F there. I suspect that is one of their hotter days. Some years they don't get that hot, some years it seems like half the summer? Can't be certain, but... just from stories and other data I have obtained, if only roughly remember. But I don't live in Vegas, if that is only one of the reasons. Where I live, 82 at just before eleven (and probably through the night?) is hot. Or warmer. And heading to a blistering potential high for the day. Vegas can cool at night, but again, not always.
Blood sugar is 124 fasting. Bleh. Could be worse, should be better? Yes, it should be. Well, then again, I had fruit last night. That doesn't always, but can bump it. It can bump it a lot. I suppose that is as good as it gets. Still, kept it to within keto tolerances, if not carnivore? Still, it just doesn't seem to matter. Fruit has bumped it to into the high hundreds (from a lower number), even over two hundred nearing three hundred. Yes, my blood sugar is a squirrel, or a dog chasing one?

Coffee shortly. Maybe that other steak cooked before too long. Medicine in. Doing pretty good with medicine lately. And food. And else. Just... managing the heat is the next thing. I changed the trim of things, with it being so warm. This front room started at 77, and is now hitting 79. The front room started at 77 but has dropped to 76, and closing on 75.
For whatever reason, my acclimation is beginning to fail. Probably because I have lost the pool of cool, in the morning. If I have a way, or time, to cool off, I can then recharge my resistance. Without a cool shelter, I just can't keep pushing through. I hit heat exhaustion. Having the front room be hot is okay, as a differential zone? But without a place to escape it, then... like a swimmer without an occasional island, I drown.
I can barely stand this morning. I am shuffling, from place to sit to place to sit. My lungs are heavy. My heart is slow. My body is totally exhausted. I may get back to beck before long. Unless even the ac can't keep up with the heat of the day, then perhaps I can nap on the couch? If even that area will be cool enough.
I've been thinking. With the assassination attempt? Pure theory, but... what about a son in law? Can't really lose. Political waves, either way, would favor him in any eventuality. But he and the daughter, to be honest, are libs. And, they are close enough, and would have enough cover from other sources, on both sides of the aisle, that... it wouldn't matter. A daughter? She wouldn't necessarily be involved. Though... libs really do hate him, even if related. Ultimate virtue signaling. Just, if I was going with someone on team Trump, that is where I would look. His actual son? I... have doubts. Other people in his circle? Again, maybe.
Could just be a nutball. Patsy even. Again, I did think about Trump himself, but no. That was too close. No shooter in the world who is good enough to make that sort of shot and miss would patsy himself. And... like him or not, Trump has an inflated ego. He wouldn't have allowed for that close of a thing, unless it was totally rigged, as in a firecracker on his ear (or such)? Has the shot been verified?
Outside? Sure, he has plenty of enemies. And just the stirring of discontent. My brother, for example, truly believes Trump is Hitler. He's just, like most Americans, too fat and lazy to do anything about it. But some young street punk, with no real life or potential? Why not.
Me? I know that even if Biden was Hitler, his replacements would be worse. He wasn't elected anyway, so we haven't had a legitimate government in at least four years or so. We haven't had a legitimate government since they made it one man, one vote, stripped the states of appointing senators, and allowed women and non-taxpayers to vote. So... there is that. We have become a democracy, and the lowest basest most corrupted form of it. And, even then, they cheat. No, killing Biden would make things worse. He is no Hitler, he is more like Sauron's Mouth.
Hmm, oh, coffee. Later.
Oooohh, Saruon's mouth...interesting...
ReplyDeleteWe are so screwed... May you live in interesting times...that we do...
I... wondered if that wouldn't strike a nerve. Did when I realized it, then decided to share it.
ReplyDeleteScrewed? I think it is the rich and powerful who are screwed. The pooch is broken, the tax mule is spent, the immivasion isn't panning out, the fed is broke as to tricks up it's sleeves, and a nation which has to buy it's own bonds and public stocks, and keeps going the left way?
It isn't the poor, or even middle class, who are up against it. It is the rich. Imagine having billions of dollars and realizing... that isn't enough. Trying to buy the government you need, only to break it in the process.
The poor to middle class will be okay, all in. But the rich will lose it all. They don't know how to live on nickels and dimes. And, without their guards? Life will be very unkind to those who were supposed to do right but didn't.
Besides, even if the Bill Gates of the world escape to their getaways? Do you honestly think their servants and guards will take what these put out, when it becomes understood that their wealth is zeroed?
I'm not worried, other than some slight concern they may try to create a nuclear war in order to escape, or erase their sins, or destroy it all rather than lose it all? And, yes, they are evil enough, if the path may not be as... simple to it as it seems.
