Change is in the air….

According to Foreca, it is forecast to hit 69 today. 78 on Friday. And 80 on Saturday. Since I have to sleep through the heat of the day, I thought today would be a good time to set up my AC. Yes, I’ll have to deal with the noise from the compressor, but it’s easier to sleep through that than try and sleep through the heat of the day…

There have been a couple of incidents in the past couple of weeks where I’ve gotten on my usual bus, but it was so late that I’ve missed my connection in Tacoma, and I ended up an hour late. Yes, I’m treading on thin ice with regards to attendance at work. So, on weekdays, I’m now catching the next earlier bus. Which means leaving for work an hour earlier. Which unfortunately means an hour less sleep….

Another season wrapped up…

Just finished the season finale of The Mandalorian. Here are the spoilers:

  • Moff Gideon was just misguided. It turns out all he wanted to do was to put Bibles in hotel rooms on Mandalore…
  • The real villain is actually William Shatner.
  • That one scene where Din Djarin has to trade his N1 for a flying DeLorean (why else would they cast Christopher Lloyd?)

And you know what? I’ll spoil the ending:

From one, to another….

First I install Windows 10. Takes a little over a week to install everything. Then I decide I want to try Windows 11. Again, it takes a week and a day to get my system put back together. Then, I decided that Windows 10 is the way to go, so again I nuke my system from orbit and start over.

I guess it’s a good thing. It keeps me at home and out of trouble. And there are far worse things that I could be doing. I think it could also be I enjoy setting my computer up more than actually using it…..

With my previous HP tower, it was either Windows 7, 8.1 or 10. Currently, I’m running 10 with best of all worlds. With Start11 and WindowBlinds, I’m using a Windows 8 skin and a Windows 7 start menu. Now if I can only stop playing around with the settings….

It finally happened….

Cheetos-Face finally got indicted. For the cover-up payments to the porn star that he cheated on his wife with. And there were a couple of other hush money cover-ups, too. And he’s still being investigated for January 6. And for a bunch of classified documents that he had no business holding onto. I feel this may be the beginning of the end for him.

But all the metaphorical blood-lust aside, let us at least go through the motions. He is only indicted. In the eyes of the law, he is innocent until proven guilty (as it should be).

My personal prediction: he will end up behind bars. Probably even before the trial. It only takes one disparaging/threatening post on his supposed social network towards the judge in the case, and he’ll get a complimentary pair of stainless steel bracelets, 3 hots & a cot… I’m sure this will energize his base towards the next election, but felony convictions will energize his opponents’ bases and will put him on the losing end of a landslide….
