Been weeding out dead wood (websites that have gone 404 or worse) over at my directory. It’s a mind numbing task which is much needed on a day like today.
A friend asked recently, how I made my coffee. I’ve blogged on this before, and the process has hardly changed except I now use a Melitta plastic pour cone that sits on top of a cup, plus Melitta #2 natural filters. (The stainless pour over cone kept clogging.)
Coffee is a requirement for this day. Coffee, hot, strong, black. I shall double my normal amount.
Current Mood: Doom.
All said, I miss analog television. You could buy a $90US, 12 inch B/W TV at the drug store of all places, take it home, plug it in, extend the rabbit ear antenna and watch some goddamn TV. No subscriptions to 28 different streaming services, no cable, it was simple and it just worked.
I think everybody is ordering groceries via Instacart today before the weather turns bad, because Instacart shows more delay than I’ve ever seen.
So Monday, Inauguration Day, is when trickle-down economics will suddenly start working and we’ll, “live off the fat of the land?” Right? All I see are mega corporations and oligarchs shouldering each other at the hog trough, but maybe we’ll get a little of the spillage.
Four days. I feel like I’m waiting for a funeral.
The government is a coming for our red dye No. 3! The Dye Police are gonna kick in our doors looking for our stockpiles of Maraschino Cherries.
Vinyl roofs on cars were never a good thing.

I just found a conspiracy theory thread on Twitter about the L.A. fires. All sorts of different conspiracies in that thread which I won’t link to because why encourage them? My prediction is, in a couple of months, people will be saying the fires never happened.
I’m trying to figure out what to make (cook might be an exaggeration) for supper tonight and I think it might include hot dogs.

Gulf of Musk.
Greenland isn’t really green, but it was named that way by Viking realtors to help sell lots.
Burritos don’t float. But I had my world renowned hot chili/burrito float for supper last night. This is classified stuff so no photographs are available.
We can defend against all comers, all disasters, as long as we have enough burritos!

In case you missed it: I wrote Discovering Blog Streams over on my other blog. I just added another stream I originally overlooked to the list there.
It’s 10 degrees F right now. Alleged snow tonight and tomorrow so I ordered groceries. Because End Times. Specifically frozen pizzas and burritos. BTW eggs were outrageously expensive, Donald.
