Thoughts on the Day

  • Listened to The Squirrel Report on the way to and from work.
    • From his description of what happened to the squirrel who got zapped on his light pole, I wouldn’t be surprised if Weer’d Beard didn’t read a lot of David Drake’s Hammer’s Slammers series.
    • I didn’t expect to hear the words “singed the flag and the Virgin Mary” this morning, but there it was nonetheless.
    • I don’t do anything to confuse or overwhelm any system that’s monitoring my emails and such. I believe in the power of SQL to filter out such noise if someone is willing to put the time into coding it properly.
    • I group firearms training into several groups:  Basic Safety and Marksmanship, Personal Protection, and Specialized.
      • Everyone needs Basic Safety and Marksmanship.
      • Most everyone needs Personal Protection.
      • Specialized should be for either job training or for fun.  If you’re thinking you want to be a sniper, a door kicker, or just a general professional gun guy, then getting training in those disciplines is a no brainer.  If it’s for fun, have fun, but don’t forget that you’re still a computer nerd.
    • Of course, do research on your trainer.  If he or she is dangerous, ignorant, or just plain whacko, it won’t be hard to find evidence of that on-line.   Especially avoid those who say they can train you on anything and there’s no need to train with any one else.
  • I love working with people who have a devious mind.
  • It’s Flag Day, Army Birthday, and National Bourbon Day.
    • I took part in all three, as a true patriot.
    • ‘Murrica
  • $279 plus tax and shipping for the parts to fix the dishwasher.  $279 plus a small fee to install it to get a new dishwasher.
    • Guess we’re getting a new dishwasher.
    • Update – New dishwasher will be installed next week.
    • Irish Woman plans on buying a super-huge pack of paper plates so that we may survive this scourge.
    • Girlie Bear is going to be learning an old, lost skill because of this – washing dishes by hand

    I did not notice it was flag day. that would explain why the VFW appeared to be retiring several flags when I rode by today.

    Been a lot of years since I did that in Boy Scouts.
