Angry. So many things for it - considered individually you'd nod and say, "Yeah, that's irritating," or even, "Wow, I cannot believe anyone could be so willfully blind," but in the aggregate they add up to much more. It feels like a rhino lumbering down a hill, increasing in speed and rage as every new affront needles it, and by the time it reaches the bottom the only option is to get the hell out of the way.

10:48 am - I am an idiot.
|
In spite of my best intentions not to cast pearls to swine, and thus to avoid the biblically-predicted attack it inspires, I keep doing it. I really should post useful observations here instead of elsewhere, but some are slow learners. Working on it.
Ah, well. Margaritae iacta est. Hopefully no stampede this time.

1:34 pm - A Visit to Stan's Donuts
|
I'm not usually big on donuts. Yeah, they're nice and all, but my sweet tooth has declined significantly over the years. Stan Berman's are a major exception. He's about to be featured in an article on the 10 best donut places in America, and for him that's really nothing new. If you see a show on Travel or Food networks involving donuts, he will almost certainly be there. And he knows every time such an episode airs because the next day he gets orders to overnight boxes all over the country.

11:24 am - Calico Civil War Days, part 1

It's odd, deciding what to put in these. I mean, these are nowhere near all the pictures I took at this event, and the same goes for all the others. So to avoid a surfeit, which only dilutes each image instead of really adding anything, I just sort of pick one or two best examples of each topic. Really, unless it's the whole point of the thing, how many pictures of guys playing dead, or troops marching, or whatever, do you really want to see?
I say this with a certain sense of irony, knowing full well that I do tend to ramble on (visually speaking) with some things, especially incidental details; but I do try to keep it together most of the time.

2:15 pm - Chinese Visitors
|
A friend's business associates from China visited. Other guests (including me) were invited for a lovely afternoon of cooking for each other and general relaxation.

11:13 am - Massive Catching Up Project
|
|
Part of my improvement schemes for the year is finishing many partly-done projects and catching up with several neglected ongoing items. This here bit of bloggery is one of the latter list. Not that many of you are still out there and watching, but I'll be posting a metric ton (tonne?) of pictures in the near future. Don't worry, I'll be sure to put most "below the fold" and only use modest sizes even there, with links to larger. Hopefully this will help spur me to bigger and better things like those mentioned in my Goals discussion.

I need to divest myself of these chains, one link at a time.

I'd make a lousy lawyer. Rather than entertaining, I find continuous conflict among supposed friendlies to be deadly dull.
