Biding Time

 

 Realism / Isaac Levitan/ By the whirlpool

Sorry I haven’t been writing that much.  Just not feeling it.  I really can’t say why, just haven’t seen that much to get all het up about.

I suppose that I could get all het up about any number of things.  Hell, if you spend two or three minutes of not too strenuous pondering, I am certain you could come up with a double-digit list of things that offend you and would, if allowed, let you blood pressure rise.  You know that it is true.

But I think that I will spend more time figuring out work-arounds to these kinds of things than trying to change them.  Seems to me the opinion of a single person, or for that matter, even a small group, has a negligible effect on the working of a society.  So, simple put, why bother?

Was reading the news today about the lifestyles of the folks who think they run the place.  I see a whole bunch of folks running around with cross purposes and no decent plan for the future other than to feather their own nest.  OK.  Let them.

The things that I watch are the super simple things.  That heat wave is tearing up the chances of a decent harvest this year.  Gotta watch the grocery bills.  Price of gas isn’t gonna get cheaper.  Gotta watch how much I drive.  Inflation is here to stay.  Gotta watch cash flow.  

The idea that the clowns that purportedly ran this mess are going to fix it is laughable.  Remember, they are the clowns that got us here in the first place.  

I have been harping on how the environment, resource depletion, and living too large for too long is going to leave a mark.  Well, the time is coming and the dégringolade is getting some traction.  Best be attending to the basics.
