Whee! That Was Fun

Woke up this morning to a rapidly spinning room. Still not sure what was going on, but got it stopped, rested a bit, and got on up. Know I’ve been pushing it, but that was interesting.

Okay, TMI, I’m sure but it has indeed been a very busy week. Between the class and sometimes multiple services in a day, I’ve stayed busy. Today and tomorrow are going to be more of the same, on steroids even.

Continuing to use and experiment with the water distiller and related. Love it! Trying to figure out optimization techniques for when and how much I need to distill. Such a joy to have, and thank you to the kind reader who brought the distiller into my life. My thanks to all who provided neat things and information in regards filtration as well.

They are talking a possible 4-6 inches of snow Sunday night. However, our temps are going to be well above freezing so not seeing too much trouble except on Monday. Even then, shouldn’t be bad as long as the road crews are on top of things. *looks at city admin, leadership* May just plan to stay home Monday…

Lots going on in the world. I’d say we are building towards something in regards Iran based on military traffic, evacuations, travel and other warnings, and pizza orders. Yes, there is a part of me that is highly amused that Pentagon leadership is having to consider ways to deal with a pizza tracker for reasons of OPSEC. Noticing upticks in certain things has always been a tool for intelligence types, but it is truly a sign of the times that pizza orders can foretell military operations (and has been doing so for a few years now).

There is a lot going on in the Pacific, and I’m noting with interest some things going on in Japan. In regards the still-relatively-new PM, like the cut of her jib. Also liking that Japan is providing warships and more to it’s neighbors, who are eagerly beefing up capabilities in the face of Chinese aggression. That this includes Vietnam is amusing but not surprising given the historical beefs between the two countries. Would that the U.S. had the brains to start buying Japanese seaplanes, which are very much needed, now. Forget the hardware, we need to rescue pilots and others and have little to no capability to do that to any realistic scale in the Pacific.

Also worth noting that countries and the public are finally waking up to the danger to the planet from the huge illegal Chinese fishing fleet. Wish it had happened a couple of years ago, as there has been a lot of damage done. When nations start sinking those aggressive ships (happened recently with at least one ship), global patience has worn thin. Needs to be dealt with, one way or another.

There are some other things simmering, will see what happens with them. Glad to see the recent joint exercises with the Philippines too.

I will probably be launching a formal Bleg next week for the blog, the Pilgrimage, and school. Fair warning.

More soon I hope.

Getting hit by lightning is not fun! If you would like to help me in my recovery efforts, and to start a truly new life, feel free to hit the fundraiser at A New Life on GiveSendGo, use the options in the Tip Jar in the upper right, or drop me a line to discuss other methods. If you want to know some of what it is going for, read here. There is also the Amazon Wish List in the Bard’s Jar. It is thanks to your gifts and prayers that I am still going. Thank you.
