A Post A Month?

How long will it take to fence your ranch (or your bug protein processing plant in, at that rate?


It's shaping up to be a good Monday night, I think the World Series is off tonight, so they can travel from Toronto to Los Angeles.

I like how that's set up.

The fans of the conference with the lesser record are guaranteed to see at least the first 2 games, nothing more.

If their team sucks enough to get swept, then that slaughter will happen far away, in the victor's ballpark.

Eeking out 1 victory, earns the underdog the opportunity to lose it all in front of their home  crowd. I guess having 30 thousand folks standing around telling you "We're sorry..." is worth something.

And, if the underdog can push the big bullies to a 7th game; then they have wrested from them the chance of being able to win the whole thing in front of the hometown fans..

Pretty ingenious of the "founders," if you ask me.. 

Of course, the woke "liberals" want to scrap the rulebook and just give every "man" a stuffed animal -for "being on a team," type of thing...

So, the replacement laptop has ushered in a new era of music production, and a fresh perspective.

One of the Pink Floyd guys (not sure if it was Mr. Floyd, himself) said that every "new" song one writes is just another attempt at writing The Ideal Song, that will most likely fall short ("Well, where were you WHEN I WAS SUGGESTING THE DISCO SNARE?! Huh?!" type of thing...) unless the resultant little ditty is "Deacon Blues," by Steely Dan, or one of the Pink Floyd guys. I guess this is why we need smartphones...

Chapter 11

Some of the wealthiest people I know have gone bankrupt at least once.


In the blogosphere, the equivalent would be to get a new phone and start a new blog, as a new person.

To shake off all the dirt the algorithm might have on you, and live it down, with a few clicks.

To shutter away the baggage accumulated from being an election denier, a 9/11 conspiracist, a climate denier, a dreaded Trumper and double dreaded anti-vaxer, as well as a trans/xeno/homophobic racist, right wing conservative white boomer republican...

To basically have all your debts paid off and be able to start a new business.

A new phone with a VPN, and circumvent Google entirely..

A Rumble account with a Perplexity companion/advisor, and it will be like moving to another country (and giving only select people the new address)..

And, you might strike it rich, this time. By avoiding the same mistakes.

I think THAT'S how it's done in the 2020's!

Laughing All The Way To The Bank

About to walk across the street to the bank. I want to see if I can get a personal loan in order to buy a really nice bike for around a thousand bucks, and then maybe make payments of around a hundred bucks for the next year.

Over the course of that year, the bike would have paid for itself in saved bus fares, but mostly in saved time otherwise spent walking here and there. Time is money.

Plus it's always safer riding through neighborhoods at 13 miles per hour rather than being almost a sitting duck, plodding along at 4 miles per hour, carrying a guitar and a backpack.

I would usually bide my time and rely on the Law of Attraction to bring a thousand dollar bike to me, along with a distressed seller, who might really need the $220 bucks that I might have at the time...

But I think making monthly payments might help to recreate the mindset I once had when my life was more regular.

But I'd better get going towards the bank, and be sure to laugh at the skeezers out front who might have about half of their "benefits" left for this month, that they got 2 days ago...hahaha!
