26JAN2022 – OCF Update – This’N’That

Hello folks.

Here we are in only the last week of January and already Dementia Joe is:

• Preparing to start World War III with Putin and Xi
• Planning to impose price controls on the US economy
• Struggling to find even stupider things to do about COVID
• Repackaging his Build Back Better disaster into newer and even less appealing “chunks”
• Calling people racists if they don’t acquiesce to permanent voting fraud
• Dropping his vocabulary from three hundred words to one hundred seventy five
• Swearing at the White House Pool reporters

But we have more important concerns here at the Compound.  Camera Girl has heard there is a big snow storm coming on Saturday and she’s concerned.  Reports vary from twelve inches to twenty and she wants me to swear in blood that I’ll have it cleared for Sunday when Princess Sack of Potatoes is arriving for a sleep over event.  I have vowed to use all my snow clearing skills to handle this “blizzard.”

Now all this is hyperbole on her part.  Even twenty inches of snow is hardly a catastrophe.  In the good old days we’ve had thirty inch snow falls and they are nothing more than a day’s worth of work.  Not fun but not disastrous.  In fact thirty inches of dry snow is much easier and safer to deal with than a half inch of freezing rain turning to ice.  But I talked up my heroism in the face of climate catastrophe and vowed to clear that road!

I’ve discovered that my Capture One photo post processing software will not read the raw files from my new Sony A7 IV camera.  So I must buy the upgrade for the software.  And that’s not a problem except that means I’ll have to link that computer to the internet to download the upgrade.  And that means Microsoft will start messing with my Windows program to force a bunch of patches on it.  I’ll see if I can shut down those Windows programs.  I hate that stuff rattling around my desktop so I have that computer isolated from the internet for years at a time but then when I do have to connect it causes massive attacks by Microsoft and a few other software companies.  Ah, such is life.

I heard about the size of that Canadian trucker protest from Neil.  I’m curious to see if the Canadian feds buckle under the pressure.  I wonder if the truckers intend to call a strike.  Now that would get the attention of the population pretty quickly.

This seems to be another indicator that the world is fed up with COVID, vaccines, masks, mandates and petty dictators.  The Brits and the Irish have already thrown in the towel.  Individual states and the Supreme Court have chipped away at pieces of the insanity but Brandon is still hanging onto that albatross that is rotting around his neck.  I’m guessing he will “pivot” in about a month and declare victory.  Well, good luck with that.  My guess is he’s already pissed off so many of even his own voters that November is going to be a butt kicking to remember for the Evil Party.

And it’s time to start thinking about doing taxes again.  The IRS has gotten hyperactive of late so I use a professional advice.  I wonder what nasty surprises await me this year.

I found a cache of museum pictures I took about eight years ago of armor and other ancient war equipment.  I’ll sprinkle them in the daily photos as a change of pace.  I must get out and see some new stuff but the weather has been unhelpful of late.  Apparently that global warming is extremely unreliable around here.

I read about Trump’s new social media project coming on line in April or so.  I wonder if it will be all that much.  I did see that Bongino and Rumble has some sort of payment processing company that he claims is cancel proof.  Now that’s something I’m interested in.  I’ll have to check it out to see if it would be useful to me.

Well stay tuned and I should have something interesting today.
