Down to 36, last I saw?

Yes, but now?  At 8:06, mountain, it is to 42?  Wow.  Cool nights of late.  Though, really, it is artificially lowered, from smoke... blocking the sun.

Not much happening.  I have just been gaming.  Will try to stay up into the afternoon again.  I wasn't sure that was going to be possible, but it has started warming.  It is up to 73 in here, near the computer.

I keep trying the rembrandt gouda.  Of course, but I mean with intention.  To compare it to the other cheeses.  I have finally decided.  It is an 8.0, the other is an 8.5.  And, I do remember having something closer to a 9.0.  Why?  It was saltier (had salt crystals) more than the rembrandt, but less than the vintage.  And less hard than the vintage (12 and 36 month aging).  So, anywhere from 18 to probably 24 months, there is a gouda in there that is... still softer than the older, but much saltier than the young.  I'll bet the company still has it, but I'd have to go through many orders.  Still, I might.  Though it might not be listed as a gouda.

Oh, and I did look up gruyere, at my favored cheese place.  They have several, and they were all $12 or less?  If it remains true, I may try some next month.  And some gorgonzola.  Someone keeps driving my hunger, and curiosity, for cheese to new levels.  Oh, and I may get more of the three milk type gouda.  That is... a very fine fresher cheese, and rather inexpensive.

The news.

Mind you, it is all propaganda.  The question is, who is writing it?  American and European news is broken.  When they offer reports, showing a Ukrainian unit taking out Russians, and it ends up being paintball equipment?  Well, and etc ad nauseum?  No.  No need to bother with such absolute bold-faced liars.

Now, Russia can't be trusted.  Because.  Same with China.  At this point, government and media involvements are purely pseudo-nationalist.  The American-Euro group, Chinese, and Russian.  The latter two have many offshoots, and some inter-involvements.  Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and some others... when they speak it is a puppets or at least distant allies.

Who is left?  India?  Maybe.  The trick is finding the news I am looking for.  This is regarding rockets, and Putin's notion of nukes.  And, yes, it may well happen.  If, too, I am honestly beginning to think that IS the point, from Biden's side.  Whoever is handling him is more worried about what else could happen, than the deaths of millions.  Which tells me they are really up against a lot of trouble.  They are losing... power... wealth... control.  And, so, they would rather the world go down the shitter than that they lose control.
