Freefall
Turns out I made the right choice, last evening. To watch curling, I mean. Today, the debate was reviewed – everywhere. Go ahead. Pick your medium. Newspaper, radio, TV, water cooler. Everyone who did watch the debate had the same reactions. With that level of reinforcement, I know that I didn’t miss anything of importance. Imagine if the media people discover the charms of organized rock sliding.
We’re watching a burst of Louie C.K. episodes (that PVR is finally getting some face time). Odd perspective on the world. His, I mean. The PVR has nothing to do with perspective. Anything goes. A yellow duck, in a knapsack, in Afghanistan. Go ahead. Imagine.
Our dollar is in freefall. Without a parachute. The good times on eBay are gone. The next time the government tells you that the economy is doing “just fine”, turn and yell LIARS. Although the independent businessman may love the differential, the rest of us are in for some suffering. Or recycling what we already own.
What’s really unfair is that currency is supposed to be related to productivity. Do you feel less productive than, say, six months ago? Are you… (embarrassing question)? The real explanation is that our government is turning into an arm of the investors. Forget social justice – we can’t afford it.
I thought about pursuing a career that was mentioned on the new: maple sugaring. It’s the season, etc. I don’t like tree pee, particularly, but the whole bit of going out in the woods with a little drill and a pail seems real. The downside is that I’m running out of time. That plant a seed and wait two decades just doesn’t have the appeal that it once did.
