Primary Day. Delightful Fall Weather Takes a Break. Attended Syria-Anti War Ralley. Body Lifts. More Frequent Blog Posts.

Rainy Primary Day Today.Β While’s its true that primary day doesn’t actually start until 12 PM today, it does seem like a pretty good thunderstorm is coming through this morning. It needs to rain from time-to-time, and now seems like as good any time for it to rain. It is literally pouring down.

Delightful Fall Weather Takes A Break for a Couple of Days.Β This is a good thing, because one could get concerned about early fall is coming this year, after a relatively cool summer — at least in the second half. Going to be hot — and wet today it seems. If this weather pattern continues, it could be a very cold, and very snowy winter. Which might be fun, except despite the fact natural gas is cheap, heating is still expensive.

Went Down to the Syria Anti-War Ralley. It was good to lend my support for a half hour. While I’m not so much into the activism thing these days, I do from time to time get involved in what I view to be a good political cause.

Body Lift. It turns out the bed can be removed from my truck without damaging the Line-X spray-on bedliner. Apparently the bolts they sprayed over were the bolts to the cross members. The cross members bolt to the frame from the bottom, so pulling the bed to put on a body lift on my truck (on top of the future suspension lift) or repair something like the fuel tank, ain’t a big deal.

Here’s a picture of a Silverado pickup with a 6-inch lift and 3-inch body lift.

More Frequent Blog Posts. That’s my new goal. I am going to try to do a new blog post every day, or at least a re-run. I am also going to bring back the notes format more often too, along with the Map of the Day and Photo of the Day. Should be fun.

Why Essays Should Have Provocative Titles

I have long felt that all good essays should have provocative titles. Ones that make you question and think, before you even start to read the essay.

Setting Sun

Words should clash together in one’s mind, to make challenge one’s assumptions. A reader should never leave an essay with his or her preconceived notion of the essay, as when they started to read it.

I believe essays should force people to think.
