It’s funny.\u00a0 It seems like even the Left is starting to admit that Biden has made a shambles of the country and maybe some of them are starting to sound kind of scared.\u00a0 Still too early to say if it will effect the outcome of the congressional votes on the gazillion dollar reconciliation bill.\u00a0 I assumed that all the skullduggery planned was a done deal.\u00a0 Maybe I’m wrong.\u00a0 We’ll have to see.<\/p>\n
But we will be going through some extended bad times as I mentioned in my last post.\u00a0 I’m starting to look at my own finances to see what cutbacks I should make.<\/p>\n
I was listening to the ZMan’s Friday podcast.\u00a0 It was on organizing and near the end he was talking about negativity.\u00a0 And that clicked for me.\u00a0 What we do has to be building things and living.\u00a0 Just fighting our enemies isn’t enough.\u00a0 It’s too long a battle to just hold your breath till the end.\u00a0 We need to make our thing about living and enjoying our lives.<\/p>\n
I’ve been writing this story about a sniper who is taking revenge against the FBI.\u00a0 I have to admit it’s a lot of fun writing about revenge.\u00a0 But I want the story to be embedded in a larger frame about building something bigger than revenge.\u00a0 I want to have it about building a community that’s hidden within the current United States.\u00a0 So this fictional story corresponds to how I think about the world I’m living in.\u00a0 And that is helpful when thinking about real life.\u00a0 The things I write about are larger than life.\u00a0 We can talk about underground bases and new technologies and secret organizations but even the little things we do on-line can be positive and enrich our lives.\u00a0 We talk to people and we share ideas and maybe we help each other solve some problems.\u00a0 And if nothing else we act as sounding boards for people who don’t have one.<\/p>\n
So today I am doing some story plotting and re-writing.\u00a0 It wasn’t strong enough or tight enough.\u00a0 I punched it up and cut it down and I like it a lot better.\u00a0 It’s another beautiful day and I intend to go out and take some photos of the fall.\u00a0 A couple of days ago one of the dogs found a big old Northern Water Snake sunning itself near one of the gardens.\u00a0 I got some good shots of it and I will probably put it up later as a post.<\/p>\n
Fridays are usually pretty quiet on the site.\u00a0 I’ll put up a post later.\u00a0 Maybe I’ll review another season three trek episode.\u00a0 I’m getting impatient with them but considering Shatner’s recent trek into almost-space I guess I should do my part.<\/p>\n
Camera Girl is an inveterate crime drama reader.\u00a0 She reads about fictional crime fighters like Jack Reacher and Harry Bosch and Jesse Stone.\u00a0 Well, we recently started watching a tv series about Harry Bosch and I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how well it’s made.\u00a0 Not everything is to my taste but it’s a quality series.\u00a0 So at some point I’ll be reviewing it too but I must keep my nose to the Star Trek grindstone.\u00a0 Duty is duty.<\/p>\n
