Damn Amazon. They don’t take down ads of material out of stock or sold out. They seem incapable of understanding part of the savings on the Internet is people not to waste time. But, as usual, the millennial brain cannot see further than a couple seconds into the future. Taking down the ad doesn’t make them any money at that instant. We awake to day to hear Pelosi’s husband and other bought stock in the Russian pipeline and vaccine companies in what can only be a case of widespread insider trading. The fake vaccine company Pfizer has already gained nearly $19 billioin in profits.
In a first, I took the new doggie for our first walk without the Reb. She’s right, he has been traumatized and adapts slowly. On the other hand, I naturally walk slower, giving him time to check more things out. This area is peppered with deer droppings. You best be careful how you drive home at night because there is an overpopulation of the youngest deer every summer. They are really bad at getting out of the way.
The question today is how long will I stick around this trip? The mask and travel rules keep changing. One thing certain, people are sick and tired of hearing about COVID every day. I’ve tuned it out long ago same as with gun control bull, arguments in favor of tipping and minumum wages, views on abortion, and almost anything about Cuba or Cubans. Just don’t want to hear it any more.

Here’s a picture to sum up my day. So much is going into the shed I may not have room for my saw. The nice one I got special so I’d have something keep busy when she’s away. I also went to install a gear generating program, it prints real-size templates that you can glue right on to your workpiece. This took years to get because I could not find anybody to order it for me. I do not use PayPal, the only method accepted by the vendor. So you might say it is simple, just pay somebody the money and have them download the app to your email.
Most common snags with these people:
a) inability to adapt to any but the simplest changes
b) gross misconceptions about file storage and location
c) a very fragile Internet existence
d) bleak incapacity to learn or teach by example
And the way they fear the computer unknown is morbid because to them so much of it is unknown. They got a lot of nerve calling other people paranoid. So much for the wired generation who can only learn a few tasks and then devolve so they don’t need any others. I’ve met journalists who fear changing file formats and technicians who fear DOS. In no time at all, they are living in an Internet rut. We had jobs like that, they have lives like that. True, we had people with wierd shortcomings, but they were to some extent aware of it. I’m just saying in the computer age amplifies the problem because stupidty always did spread faster than knowledge.
ADDENDUM
Am I the only one getting a laugh at the speed which certain RINOs are suddenly cleaning up their acts. It’s too late people, what you did was too unethical to patch up by suddenly supporting voter laws at the last moment before the audits expose all the fraud you pulled. Yet another January 6 police officer commits suicide, or was it the same one committing suicide three times? The Fake News is not going to draw the connection. The Democrats move to lockdown again just before an election, only this time instead of working, it is going to cause serious trouble at the pollng stations. And the lid is coming off Pelosi’s family stock trading, the Biden’s family art sales, and just you watch, the Hildebeest has got to do something fast.
