Three full days without a drop of rain.\u00a0 Huzzah!\u00a0 Today I saw a pale bedraggled brown snake look up at the sky and I thought I heard a hiss of relief.\u00a0 He was sunning himself on one of the bricks I need as a support for a big old air-conditioner I use for bigger parties in the summer.\u00a0 I regretfully moved him out of the way and he resentfully moved on.\u00a0 Such are the small disappointments of life that we all must sustain even brown snakes.<\/p>\n
Camera Girl is cooking meatballs, sausage and making a huge red sauce to use on the pasta dish for Saturday.\u00a0 This is big stuff.\u00a0 She’s got about thirty pounds of meat and the hissing of the cooking meat sounds like some industrial process whenever she takes one of the pans out of the oven.\u00a0 Forces are being applied and profound sorcery is at work.\u00a0 I’m giving her some space today since this part of the effort is crucial.\u00a0 I have my plate full anyway.\u00a0 Cleaning and installation of the A\/C is something I like to do just right.\u00a0 The unit is too heavy to be supported by the window and I never bought the chain hoist I wanted to get especially for this task.\u00a0 So it’s a manual operation and my back isn’t as young as it once was so preparation and planning are crucial.\u00a0 Luckily I’ve been studying the techniques that riggers use for installing 60,000 to 80,000 pound components.\u00a0 It’s quite an art.\u00a0 But I did notice that having a huge powerful young guy with a back of iron is one of the crucial components of a successful rigging operation.\u00a0 Well I’m a guy so that’s one out of five.\u00a0 And I am motivated so I predict success with only slight damage to life and limb.<\/p>\n
I saw this morning that Tyler from Portly Politico was hoping that I had landed a personal interview with Hungarian prime minister Victor Orban.\u00a0 Now I must admit that would be quite a coup for me.\u00a0 But I’ll start smaller.\u00a0 Maybe I can get an interview with Max Morton.\u00a0 He’s a fellow who has contributed a number or articles at American Greatness and I find myself in wide agreement with his opinions.\u00a0 But I haven’t managed to contact him so far.\u00a0 We’ll see.<\/p>\n
The Hungarians, Poles and a few of the other Eastern European countries have emerged as the most enlightened places for people interested in resisting the global Left.\u00a0 Wouldn’t it be interesting if the former Soviet Bloc nations end up being the free world.\u00a0 Life is strange that way.<\/p>\n
Well, after I finish my chores I’ll look around and see what I want to write about.\u00a0 The sun is shining and I’m feeling mighty optimistic so don’t be surprised if it’s something upbeat.\u00a0 I just finished re-watching the final 2nd season episode of Star Trek, “Assignment: Earth” and will write the review today.\u00a0 That’s the one with a very young Teri Garr.\u00a0 Of course it has its Star Trek goofiness but it at least has a discernable story to tell so it will get a pretty good mark.<\/p>\n
More to follow later.\u00a0 Have a great day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
