    Last meal cooked

    Not eating a lot and it's just me, so "meals" are often simple and silly. Took two medium potatoes, cubed them to about 1/4 to 3/8 size. Tossed these with a little salt, pepper, and oil. Air-fried until somewhat crisp. Over those went half a can of heated "chili, no beans" for a meaty "gravy."...

    What video are you watching on YouTube?

    This might appeal to @Yvonne Smith and others into drawing, art, maybe even photography. While not cheap, especially in its largest model, the technology is getting interesting. This isn't the crappy LCD photo-frame we've seen in the past. No need for a power cord is interesting all by itself...

    How's your day been today

    I get that. Another issue: Using one of the (pair of!) new devices, the initial test read very high, about 149. I knew that didn't feel right. So I tested with the older device and also the newer device with a second strip. These read 89 and 90. Lots of things can impact the accuracy of a...

    What's your Weather like today

    Nearly clear to semi-clear skies today, and very cold. Enough sunlight though for my solar Christmas lights and white light strings to run for a while. The string out back doesn't catch as much, but it still got enough to provide nice lighting for a while after dark anyway. I'm glad that I...

    How's your day been today

    Quiet here, mostly on the positive side. No complaints but a few things got weird. For example my health coverage switched me from one blood glucose test strip brand to another. I received the new one, and supplies, but I haven't exhausted the old device supplies yet, so I hadn't switched over...

    Moving up to nearly 28 F, this afternoon gusty and one to two inches of snow. Clearing later, expecting single-digit temperatures overnight.

    Metals, a Hedge or Investment Depending on Your Views... or a Sucker's Bet?

    It is beginning to look like the coming digital replacement currencies around the world will further kneecap what remains of the upper-working and lower-middle classes. Not only can everything be tracked, they can limit how much of your savings transfer into the new system and also implement...

    Last thing you bought

    The thing isn't as important as its non-delivery. But I have now gotten Amazon to send me a replacement. Not sure whether I was talking to a chatbot or foreign call center person though.

    Metals, a Hedge or Investment Depending on Your Views... or a Sucker's Bet?

    People are getting weird. Friday, post-Christmas, precious metals Futures ad even spot price shot up dramatically. People went nuts, in some places lots of selling, other places lots of buying, and some evened out but with a lot of both. Today very early on there was a steep plunge in prices...

    What's your Weather like today

    Fast drop, from light drizzle and 55 F, dry for now but 29 F and maybe going down. Winds gusting to 60 MPH. I think I have things battened down, awaiting possible lake effect snows. Power backups charged.

    What's bothering you right now?

    I've been suspicious for a while now based on feelings from posts on Facebook, but one of my sisters texted me last night that my remaining brother's wife left him a year ago and now their divorce is final. I don't pry and know nothing of the circumstances. Seems like one hell of an age to find...

    Are we going to war with Venezuela?

    I doubt there is any one thing in play here. Yes, a part of it is suppressing chemical substance use among our intractable idiot-child drug abuse subculture right up through their spoiled and bored wealthy counterparts. But a big slice of it is probably a new Monroe Doctrine regime. South...

    What's your Weather like today

    Solid gloom here, sort of a thin fog in the air. Very light snow dusting much earlier, but now just above freezing. Not really damp, not dry. Looks like we have expectation of a "bomb cyclone" coming over the next few days though. I'm South of the worst of this. We'll probably get rain, fast...

    Criminalizing Poverty

    I try hard not to wallow in the misery too much, but I also refuse to turn a blind eye to it. But a lot of aspects of our society are being exploited and weaponized. Driving people over the edge may just be part of the plan. This war of cultures is probably not the whole thing, but instead one...
