A few random thoughts on a Saturday morning? I appreciate The Bear TV Show and understand the awards, but I don’t like watching it and don’t see any contradiction. In college, I knew how to get an A, and I assume I knew how to get an F, but I didn’t know how to differentiate effort to get a B or C. This has continued in my work life; I am either all in, or I feel like I am failing. This election year is more stressful than at any point in my lifetime. I don’t understand why the Democrats can’t get behind their candidates as much as the Republicans. I don’t color my hair. I appreciate being bald, as I don't spend time worrying about my hair. We have had a relatively cool July in Longview; I assume Mother Nature’s payback in August will not be pleasant. People assume I am an introvert. Not necessarily. I just enjoy my own company. This is one reason I need my early morning walks alone. As I age, I realize that change is good; it is desired for me, but trying ...
It isn't a time to sit here quietly. We in the USA are challenged by a presidential race between two men, one 78 and the other 81. One who has served his country and been part of the political scene since 1972. During many of those years, he was a senator. He became Obama’s vice president for two terms. He is campaigning and fighting to be reelected president of the world's most powerful country, militarily and economically. Thursday night, he had a bad night in a debate. His opponent looked good but lied about his accomplishments and Biden. As Biden said, it is hard to debate a Liar. But, yes, maybe he is 81 and had a bad night. That doesn’t negate his presidency's accomplishments in helping us recover from the pandemic. He passed bills that will lead to infrastructure improvements that are sorely needed in this country. He has led the effort to cap insulin costs so people don’t have to choose between insulin and food. He also has a good cabinet of leaders and ...
OK, so here I am, August in Austin. It is our third summer in Austin and the 100-degree days don't seem so bad although they shorten Daisy Belle's adventures in the daytime. Maybe it is the heat, but it is time to shake things up! As I walked around Lady Bird Lake before the sun rose, this morning, I thought about what I could do to be more in the present and change things in my life. Already have a dog and a cat, not looking for fish or rabbits, so I think we have all the pets we can handled. Maybe a new hairstyle? But being bald what could I really do so radical, I have already shaved my head at times, and nobody even noticed. I thought about learning a new language or how to paint. How, when and where would I find the time for that! Then I read this op-ed piece in the NY Times on DataInternet Privacy Tracking . All these sites, advertisers, and social sites that are eager to track my every move. Sort of ma...
