I guess this is a shopping weekend. I dimly remember when rural county seats had a Woolworth’s Dept Store and a Sear’s Catalog store. Small towns had a grocery, plus a hardware store that also sold one brand of kitchen appliances.
I could go back to that.
Listening: Nico Santos “Play With Fire”
I went to the supermarket at 6:00 AM and there were only, five other customers in the store. Pure bliss.

I logged in to Mastodon on my phone browser and it looked and worked pretty good. I’m not a power user though. Still it looks like I won’t need to mess with any apps.
Our stockpiles of weapons are hollowing out supplying Ukraine. Peacetime procurement is not going to be enough. Make no mistake, we are at war. We must mobilize our factories and produce wartime quantities. Yesterday.

Clocks Status:
Smartphone and Computer - they take care of themselves.
Analog wrist watch and analog electric alarm clock - I changed.
Microwave - I changed.
Both cars - if they don’t change time on their own I can jolly well wait 6 months.
The Bronze Age was way better than the 1970’s. Just saying.

Just a reminder on imperialism: it’s 2022 and Russia is still an empire and acting like one. So is China. There are others but those are the biggies.
I think America can learn a lot from Ukraine about actually running passenger trains. Stations and lines are getting bombed yet somehow the Ukrainian trains get through. OTOH the US can barely hold it together during peacetime.
