Veterans' Day

 I ended up drinking a fair amount last night and watching tons of They Might Be Giants videos last night, with a few Gorillaz videos mixed in. I had no idea TMBG did so much music! It turns out the band goes back to 1982 so they've got to be in their 50s now. And still touring.

So I wasn't very useful last night. 

I eventually cooked up some garlic scrambled eggs, which are a real win. That "spreadable" butter I scrounged is really good for frying eggs in. Where things turned bad was when I decided to fry some slices of the Korean "Mr. Bong" fish sausage I got at H. Mart. Get that stuff hot and it gives off a smell like rubber erasers. Just awful. I ate the eggs from under the sausage slices and then put shoyu and Worcestershire sauce on them and ate them - at least one good thing about being a Boomer is being able to buckle down and eat food that doesn't taste very good but you have to eat it. 

I thought the heat over the summer was depressing but now it's cold and gets dark by 5 or so. I'll eventually get dark around 4. 

And the election is depressing as hell. It looks like Fat Orange will have to admit defeat, as even some of his loony-Christian supporters are saying Biden won. I'm just worried that the fascists will corkscrew their way to claiming the election went their way, backed, I guess, by big industrialists the way Hitler was backed. I.G. Farben which was broken up postwar, Thyssen, etc. They figured there was a ton to be made on a war. 

I got some Ebay things listed, cooked up a good beef and broccoli dinner, and got 10 things lined up to list... it may rain on Friday and I considered visiting the bank then because I could ship packages Thursday when it's dry, but I think instead I'll stick to my usual Thursday time for the bank, then if it's going to be rainy on Friday I can put the packages in plastic bags and it's a much shorter trip overall. 

For some reason Andy Bumatai's hamajang gang didn't get going on YouTube today but I found Photo Luke doing a stream so I jumped in there. We had a good old time. Amazing how, now that I'm old, I can "local out" with some Hawaii locals and it all just flows. I think it gets different when you're close to retiring and pretty much on the glide path and not so competitive about jobs etc. One interesting video Luke shared with us was of the cave out by Ka'ena point. I knew there was  a cave there but that sucker's HUGE.

Cold and foggy Friday

 I woke up around 11, and even around noon it's foggy and dark.  I should mention that "dead internet theory", the theory that...
