COMMODITIZATIONAL DREAMING

The actual start of rainy season weather is always better than the lead-up. It's something about the light, there seems to be more brightness in the gloom. It's probably refranction and reflection. Also, and this is purely psychological, it seems less cold. It is, in fact, the perfect weather to sit by the fire -- the nearest dumpster is four blocks away -- with a cup of coffee (can't rely on the local places for decent chai or HK naai cha), a good book (perhaps something idolatrous other than the new testament), and a pipe.

Seeing as I don't have a jerrycan of accelerant, the election having been too recent, and I'd look mighty queer schlepping a copy of the Oxford Dictionary Of Chemistry (seventh edition) with me, I guess I'll just go down to C'town and have a club sandwich and fries (公司三文治，同埋薯條 'gong si saam man ji, tong maai syü tiu').

My refills will be ready tomorrow, so I'll be down there again then.
Which will mean, again, a hot beverage. Adventure!
It's good to have wet weather plans.

I lead a mundane and boring life.

Apparently I am in a narrow minority that prefers that; most Americans, per a recent survey, will get neither the flu shot nor the latest covid booster, and prefer the risk of infecting their family members, and any vulnerable children and elderly people they encounter, over the assurance of modern medicine. And more power to them! There are already too many youngsters and grumpy old fossils in this country taking up all the resources!

I am absolutely in favour of Karen in the centre of the country kicking the bucket gasping for air this holiday season. Those of us that survive can take her present back to the big box for a refund, and go to Tahiti instead.

Comparing the before and after figures for deaths from many diseases once vaccines were developed is instructive. And kind of frightening too. Fortunately most Americans can't grasp statistics worth squat, and willingly follow snake oil salesmen like RFK Jr. and Doctor Oz.

Measles, mumps, and similar disease rates are on the rise.
I'm sure the first polio cluster is merely a matter of time.
There are far too many junkfood hogs out here!
So this is actually very good news.


We shall deal with overpopulation the same way we're dealing with global climate change;
let nature take it's course. It's better than incessant war.
By golly yes.
