I am still awake. Couldn't sleep. Still can't. Getting there? Ugh. Days and nights are spinning again. Season changes can do that. Awake so long, however, that my body is becoming cold. Teak, it works. Soup would also work well, possibly. Probably. I noticed I have canned chicken downstairs. That would go well in a minor soup or stew. Don't think I would eat canned chicken in may other ways.
Gaming is going along well. Surprised I can still make it through. Just found a boss that, along with say five others, really, or mostly, complicated my first playthroughs. This one just beat me every time I tried him for, say, a month? Just staying alive to fight him was a trick, as the path to him was absolutely brutal. My sort of gig.
Ugh... my eyes are beginning to close, my head nod, as I try to write. Oh, well, i can write without my eyes open. Until my mind also shuts off. My fingers can dance on the keyboard, until nothing coherent is flowing to them. Then... I lose control of some of these things.
Well, yes, I think I'll just close up and go on to bed before I just tilt and sleep, waking up stiff and sore. I'd really like to finish up a portion more, of the game, but am just way too tired. I'm going to crash if I don't, too. Good night, and morning, and day. *zzz*

ReplyDeleteTake two: hit the wrong button. Broccoli& cauliflower have always been on my favorites list. I remember, pre-kindergarten, at a farmers market, taking bites out of heads of broccoli.
DeleteMy Mother would add milk to the pot she was boiling cauliflower in (the mix of water to milk, I don't know, and knowing her, she "eyeballs" it, so couldn't tell me if I asked). She did claim it made it whiter and fluffier. Strange I haven't played with that before. Instead of a head full of water you'd have a "milkier" liquid soaked into the florets. Home grown cauliflower "at least ours" always had some brown discoloration on them, don't remember it affecting taste, just aesthetics.
Pickled Beets for me, summertime treat. (been a couple years) Remember red stools from the beets, kinda freaky.
Can't end on a stool sentence.
You going to stay somewhat local or is this a bigger move? A remote cabin on the Wasatch Range, or assisted living in SLC, Ogden, Great/ or Idaho Falls? I totally get it, remote living that MAY require assistance from time to time, or "I do not play well with others" so their assistance may require some remoteness. I'm not there yet, but I do think.
Hmm, interesting about the cauliflower. Might try cream with it, and butter, then mash it? "Rice" it... have a massive squisher(tm) that can handle, say, three bigger potatoes? Hand held, wouldn't ask the wife to do it, she'd whine, bitch, moan, and fail. Well, might ask her, just to laugh and do it myself. :) I still like women folk, but, they are fun to test. Equal eh? Here...
ReplyDeleteAs to moving? It would be short term, probably local. I want to get my eyes fixed, then do some paperwork in order to begin moving... to the Philippines, probably Argentina after... whether I find a wife or not. So, local, short term. Though, maybe a bit of time near my mother. Difficult to know. Everything is speculation, and depends on how long, complicated, moving papers are to arrange, and some other such.
But, local, private, is the general plan at the moment. I wouldn't move to Ogden or SLC, or to an assisted facility, for any reason I could ever imagine. Out of the the pan, into the fire, or worse. I do expect shit to eventually hit the fan. And no matter how rich, or poor, you are, you won't be safe anywhere near those places.
My guess is the minorities will be the first problem, until they are stomped into the dirt. Then the warlord will be the next new problem. There won't be a fed, if probably thankfully. Oh, they'll try, a time or two. Lose a few legions, even ol' Julius learned to keep his fingers out of some pies. And the world, even locally and regionally, would crush feds if they had a chance, many of them.
Only the feds' money is keeping the "blues" sucking fed dick. But those are totally uncontrolled areas. And flyover country, if nothing else, is absolutely too vast. Not worth the fed putting money or resources into putting boots on necks. Then again, big cities aren't providing returns on investments, at this point, so many aren't worth it either. If they even could. So... no... no bit cities.
If the shtf event isn't in the next year or three, it's in the next ten, twenty. No... I... won't live in a city, or even a "blue" state. Colorado, California, Illinois, New York, even Texas is going that way. Can't control the border, judges won't let them even provide US citizen voting, they... have no chance, through time. But... we weren't ever supposed to be a democracy, that is just organized mob rule, which... is what we have currently. Barely constrained, evil, through and through. So... yeah... no.
