Wednesday

 - I’m seriously working to quit smoking. Although the health benefits are purported to be obvious and fairly immediate, my motivation is simple.  Damn things are $10 a pack, $300 a month.  Screw that. Yeah, this only started fairly early Monday morning, but I’ve been planning it a couple months. Ashtrays in house and my truck are washed and put away. Been doing a serious taper off with the help of long expired Nicorette …I will succeed.

- Regarding Sep 11: times were when *everyone* was flying a flag, either physically or online.  Now, (thumbnail statistic) maybe 5%.  What changed for y’all that don’t attend to it any longer? I’m not criticizing at all, just curious. We seem to remember Pearl Harbor well enough.

- I think it bears repeating: when people who’s occupations are supposed to be humble live extravagantly, but don’t, they’ve (to me) proven their fraudulent intend. So called religious leaders living in mansions…politicians driving million dollar automobiles…civil servants serving only themselves…etc.

I understand religion is big business, but at least have the honesty to say so. I understand government is basically business that has the lethal force ability to enforce what s basically it’s own corporate policies, but at least be honest enough to say so

- Apparently one of the biggest lithium deposits on earth has been found in continental US…not sure what the big deal is, as regardless of its potential democrats will prohibit exploitation…can you say oil? This, like everything else, will become a political turd 

- For those who said Jan 6 was as tragic if not more so than 9/11, please GFY with an artillery round

- Do people still roll jeans that are too long into cuffs?  If not they should

- Rained a bit Monday evening.  Not much, but the relief in temperature was literally a God send

- Progressives should just quit dicking around and refer to themselves as Marxists.  All they do is show their collective ass, and have not progressed our nation one micro nanometer forward…just the opposite, really. Everything they’ve touched has turned into a steaming pile almost overnight. San Francisco, Austin, Portland, Lord knows where else were once shining examples of urban life, but now they are not much more than taxpayer cesspools.

So what triggered this de-evolution? Hard to say as the vast majority or researchers are Marxists themselves, so anything they produce is likely tainted propaganda.  My take is the tolerance, if not encouragement of things like Occupy Wall St, blm, defunding police, sanctuary for those breaking the laws of man and nature, etc, all happened at relatively once. These things share many characteristics but the one thing they ties them together is the designed lack of endgame.

Protests against Vietnam had ending an unjust unnecessary war…peaceful civil rights protests in the 60s just wanted everyone to be seen as an equal. Measurable outcomes.  Now people just want to raze everything in their path, and nothing can satisfy that incessant need to destroy. 

- Todays installment of “well…damn” features Aaron Rodgers.  Some may know that he is a brilliant quarterback, having played with Green Bay for several years before demanding to be traded.  Rodgers ended up at the Jets, significantly raising their hopes of a playoff run.  As it goes, Rodgers played exactly 4 plays before suffering a season ending injury. I guess the Jets wasted a TON of money on that.

- No Friday stuff this week…see ya either in Lubbock, on the road, or in nightmares…but I’ll be someplace
