As I often like to note, most terrorists work for the government. I just don’t want to miss the shuttle cutting through the Capitol with my bag of bananas, rice, and beans as the rain is pouring down, just because a security screener wants to know what I’m eating for lunch, and why it’s so damn healthy.
I had to just pull the buff card for Jessica Bowen, do a quick Newsbank search and check See Through NY ๐ฐ to see if she was a state employee, and if she regularly votes. Hasn’t voted since Primary 2009, not enrolled in a party. Had a kid in 2011 at Ellis Hospital, not a government employee. But yeah, I’m sure if I’m rushing to the shuttle now on a rainy day, they’ll want to inspect my container of kidney beans ๐ซ extra carefully. Annoying a shit. ๐ฉ But terrorists do that, make the government all the more obnoxious. I guess I still have the mind set of when I was in the Deputy in Research Services, but what was wondering how much an inconvience ISIS was about to make my life. At least this terrorist wasn’t colored, so the white supremists running the US government don’t have to dodge that bullet.
Made it in by 8 AM yesterday, ๐ but ended up leaving earlier to head downtown to campaign committee due to the impending rain. ๐ง๏ธ Drizzling a bit as I rode downtown, and raining quite a bit harder all afternoon, ended up taking the yokel local, it so local busย that runs even less frequently come Monday, ๐ back home. Fried up zucchuni and headed off to bed after some reading and watching stupid TikTok videos about farmers ๐ง๐ปโ๐พ doing farmer shit and slinging it. ๐ท Goal is to do the same at least to start out the day. Nicer day today, but yesterday would have been rather wet to head north last night. But I don’t know if I can get away for a three day weekend next weekend, but in two weekends at this time, I should be barreling in the SuperDuty for the Speculator so I can get my Labor Day Campsite ๐๏ธ, and either work from the hammock or the Speculator Library by 9 AM. ๐
Watching the market shit in it’s bucket. ๐ฝ Maybe all the AI hype is getting knocked down a peg or two, but so are my investments and future owning my own land with that burn barrel ๐ข๏ธ for all that plastic crap out back and shitting in a bucket, and messing with batteries and eating venison I butchered myself. I actually have been holding back from the market a bit this year, ๐ค hoping to get some good end of the year deals, plus cheaper valuations now mean more chance for shit to grow in the out year. But I do think taxes are going up on everyone in the out years to pay for the federal debt and social security, probably the Democrats will get blamed for that ๐ด though look who is holding the federal credit card today. Whatever, days, weeks and even months are pretty meaningless things, what matters more is years and decades. Recessions come and go, good buying opportunities even if I will be a soldier ๐ช on the War on Poverty and only worth six digits in next few years. Well on that note, it’s time to get in the shower ๐ฟ and then on the mountain bike ๐ตโโ๏ธ up to Enterprise, so I can bypass the ISIS-mandated security. As Country Joe and Fish says, ๐ฆ “The one that’s driving’s got a bowler hat, the other’s got a fez on his head.”
