I spent the day humping another load of her stuff to storage ahead of the storm.
This house is beginning to resemble home.
I gassed up the truck too and I’m hoping that’s the last thing I’ll have to put on a credit card for a while. The basic income people are still dragging their heels, but I’m still cautiously optimistic that they’ll pull their heads out soon.
I don’t mind the rain at all. The daytime temp tomorrow makes me pout some, but I’m showing the full context as a part of a prayer that my pout will be short. Seventy-two is warmer than we’ve seen since before Halloween. Even better is the promise of an overnight low dropping only to 40.
Soon the gas bill will be only the basic charge, and the electric too for a while, likely a long while, because I only really need AC two weeks out of the year or so. Unlike artificial heat, which is necessary to basic comfort from November through February at the least.
The solar blessing be upon us all.
The rest of this is just buzz-harshing that I wrote yesterday, so you can quit now if you’re not in the mood for that shit.

You know what the people of Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan have, that you, dear citizen of Empire, don’t?
Health care. For free.
If you’re very lucky, you get to pay for medical insurance, which is not care, and not free.
It’s just another tax on being alive. A “co-pay” with a deductible on top of what they take out of your check to begin with.
Like having to pay to have water pumped to your crib, and then paying a second premium for water you can actually drink.
Wait! I have an idea!
Let’s send another 100 billion (which we also don’t have) to them over there.
While our maddened veterans sleep on cardboard and 1 in 7 of our children are hungry.
Because Freedom! Murika boo-ya!
The Uniparty is the party of caviar (or at least ribeye) for those who live here and are successful enough to become oppressors themselves, quietly or openly …
… and fuck the rest up the ass, with a John Deere tractor of imperialism.
Just because you’re not being literally fuckraped, or cluster-bombed or ethnically cleansed, yet, sunshine, that doesn’t make you Free.
They won’t tell you that little secret on CNN.
Which is good, because that’s my job.
It doesn’t pay much.
But the working conditions are stellar.
