Ray's Thoughts for the Day

All righty then. We have now gotten up to 8 tics in the rain guage from this latest surge of gulf moisture. Last night we got over 4 tics. Crumby and me watched the clouds that carried that 4 tics roll in from the east. Easy that, for we were perched upon our steer hides in the shed with little else to do. It was fun to watch the stars wink out as the clouds covered them up. Crumby, of course, couldn't just enjoy the spectacle visually but also kept up a constant blather; "There's Sarik, er, now ye see it, er, now ye don't. There's Altair, er, now ye see it, er, now ye don't. There's Antares, er, now ye see it, er, now ye don't. There's Vega, er, now ye see it, er, now ye don't. There's Deneb, er, now ye see it, er, now ye don't. There's Arcturus, er, now ye see it, er, now ye don't., etc."

Ye may not think so, but Crumby's blather is a very old method of Druid training, much like push ups.

Then again, Red got to watching the TV. But the ladies were on top of him so he couldn't throw much of a tantrum before they made him switch channels. The program that riled Red up apparently starred Joe, the Senator from Tel Aviv, in a debate with a genuine ruling class guy, not just a minion like Joe. Some of our precious ruling class feels bad that the Kinglet they foisted off on us is a crazy nincompoop and his evil ministers are evil and incompetent. So in Connecticut, one of them is running for the senate.

One thing about globalization that is very interesting is the associated failure of nation states. Even the USA shall be suborned.
