In Case You've Wondered

My blog is where my wandering thoughts are interspersed with stuff I made up. So, if while reading you find yourself confused about the context, don't feel alone. I get confused, too.

If you're here for the stories, I started another blog: scratchingforchange.blogspot.com

One other thing: sometimes I write words you refuse to use in front of children, or polite company, unless you have a flat tire, or hit your thumb with a hammer.

I don't use them to offend; I use them to embellish.

As Most Thought He Was

According to what I've been reading, Fauci is an ego-maniac. His love of himself, demand for publicity, and total lack of the health of others is now becoming apparent. May he be punished for his actions. I suggest he be banished to a deserted island for life. Make sure he has a mirror to watch his his health, and appearance, degrade.

So, Fauci pled Fifth Amendment rights, avoided all questions, and now (probably not) could face contempt charges. I foresee the law suits to start, Fauci will have no defense, and due to the extreme costs to protect his money, will be bankrupt, have no security, and will be the prey of those that have no qualms about punishing him for his crimes. At his age, he won't last, and I doubt St. Peter will hand him a gate pass.

A President's Library With Mechanics Liens

There is an enormous amount of unpaid debt to contractors that built the Obama Library. Illinois allows the auction of property to satisfy liens. Whether that happens is to be seen, but even if it does, what would anyone do with such a large ugly structure without any real use? It's a mess, and those that trusted the general contractor are out of luck, can only file liens, and hope for a return of pennies on the dollar, if bankruptcy is the final result.

Salivating Weather Forecasters

There's a tropical cyclone in the Eastern Gulf of America. The folks at NOAA are forecasting the system will change from a northwesterly track to a westerly track. With close proximity to land, and shear, they are forecasting a reduction in tropical storm strength over the next few days, and most of the rain south of the system....if it doesn't degrade into a trough. The final track, at this time, will take it along the coast to Southeast Texas, where it will come ashore and cross Texas. 

The NOAA folks summarize all of this is a text forecast advisory, and it can be read in about a minute. The Weather Channel folks take about 48 hours to show a summary of all the model tracks, pay high salaries for their meteorologists to pontificate, and have entire crews on different beaches to interview those that want to have their faces on television. It's expensive, and they're using resources provided by NOAA, but there's money to be made. It's weather porn, and leads to experts that not only help increase the anxiety, they continue it on their social media posts. If you pay close enough attention, you'll realize you not only need to panic, you need to go spend close to a thousand at Walmart and gather supplies you'll eventually throw away in January.

Daylight Saving and Darkness

It's looking like they'll make Daylight Saving Time permanent. It's a Summer madness, with the long days and light in the mornings. Winter will be different. Northern states will find they're navigating morning traffic, and their children waiting for school, is in what most would consider the night. We'll see how this future debacle will unfold, but I'm not thinking it will be pretty.

Thoughts July 17, 2026

Apparently, the last administration was not only hiding information of foreign election meddling, their hiding made them complicit. In a perfect society, those involved will face harsh punishments, including the death penalty for treason. Will this happen? Probably not. Too many in Congress were involved, and they won't prosecute those in their club.
