I Don’t Have Enough Stuff

/ Jim / Leave a comment

I don’t like admitting it, but I am a technology addict. I can’t belive how dependent I’ve become on all of these devices. And me? I can’t just have one of something, I have to have, well, several. This iPad I’m typing on right now? It’s one of, (ahem!) 4 that I own. I also have a tablet made by someone else tht I think runs the google Os, but I don;t use it much because I like the Apple tablets a lot more. Yes, I have an iPhone s well. That’s probably the device I can ignore easier than any other.

A friend just stopped by a little earlier, a little exasperated du=e t the fact that, where we live, the average price of gasoline is now $4.50 a gallon.

I’ve been watching a lot of YouTube lately. Why? I don’t really know other than I can find some very interesting topics on there and there is no end to the variety, or so it seems. One area I’ve been watching quite a bit are video series of people striking out on their pwn and living in their cars or vans. On purpose. Yes, in most cases, the vans have been converted to have the helpful accoutrements of a home, even having a toilet and shower crammed into them (Think about the size of a van!) but everything seems to fit and the interiors have been designed to make use of all available space.

Poignant Debate/Discussion.

/ Jim / Leave a comment

Want to see a decent debate over the weekend? You should try this. Yes, I know a lot of people don’t care for Piers Morgan. I do. I like the panels (well, most of them) that he assembles for his shows. This one I think is especially poignant. It’s less than an hour.

AOC ‘Rising’?

/ Jim / Leave a comment

That’s the headline(sans the question mark). It seems like Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) is rising in some presidential pick polls, and leading in at least one. That’s right, the woman that became the youngest female member of Congress (ever), that beat a 10 term incumbent for her seat, is now a possibility for the Democratic nomination for president in 2028. How is this possible?
