THE COLDER BLOOD

Both of them eventually showed up at the bakery, and complained about the cold. With which I can understand and sympathise, as I am sure that in recent years it has gotten significantly colder. Despite what tee-shirted young people may lead you to believe. They're just commies who want to show off their piercings and tattoos. They also want you to freeze to death, but that's neither here nor there.

When I left the house I soon discovered that I was slightly underdressed.
A-shirt. Tee-shirt. Lumberjack shirt. Heavy winter coat.
Should have had a sweater on too.


Errand in Chinatown, lunch at a chachanteng where the small woman who refers to me as "older brother" was one of the waitstaff today. Well, I am indeed older than her. And the term she uses (大佬 'taai lou') can also mean boss man or the dude, depending on context, and also whether this is a Hong Kong gangster movie from the eighties.

Pipe. Groceries. Tea time. Old dudes.

If the door of a local business is wide open, that's warm and inviting, and signifies that they enthusiastically seek the business of people walking past. Who should keep their gloves and scarves on at all times, unless they are young people with bare stomach rolls showing, and tattoos or piercings that deserve everyone's avid attention.

Older gentlemen may become Karens.

It was still light when I got home. Ended up putting on another garment for the hour before the evening's heating kicked in. Posted a few meanspirited repsonses to an old friend who appears to have gone all rightwing conspiracist nutter. Also reminded him that the venomous dingbat who got shot on January sixth thoroughly deserved it, and good people should line up to piss on her grave.

This blogger is a firm believer in urinary pilgrimage.




On other news: ICE murdered someone today, Noem and Trump lied about it, and Trump's apologists are making 'baa' sounds. Our political leaders are utter scum.
