I got 10 "large" things ready to list but they took enough cleaning and neatening-up that by the time I was done it was something like 4AM so I saved them for today. Instead I put things I'd listed away, and got things out of the warehouse area that I need to ship.
A customer is worried their HP X-Y display will be packed well. Due to its length, all I have that will fit it properly is a huge box. I'm gonna predict they'll be happy. And we'll lose money shipping it but I don't care. We make enough on other things.
We were food bombed last night and I went right out and took the boxes in here. Result: about 30 lbs of spaghetti to add to my "prepper stores" and a box of stuff I'll put in a location sufficiently far from here. I have to get the zombies used to *not* finding anything attractive in here.
On Reddit just now I have herd that Gavin Newsom is setting up a bunch of "tiny houses" for the homeless. Of course tons of criticism for not setting up enough for every homeless in California, but it's more than anyone else in his position has done.
My only critique is that I'm sure they'll be made out of wood, or will be Tuff Sheds or something and what they really need to go is come up with a design that's made of concrete and very difficult to damage and impossible to burn.
I looked it up last night and I'll be able to vote in the California primary in 2024 with no problem since it's in March. That's where my vote can make a difference. Voting in that election is more important than voting in the general election that I've been so bothered about. It'd be nice to be (somewhat) safely back in Hawaii by the time the General election is, and if the country goes full Fascist I'll have the move and so on all taken care of - travel restrictions might come into effect.
Also, if I bump off a Nazi in Hawaii it will have a greater effect than bumping off a mainland Nazi. There will be fewer of them in Hawaii and so, one turned into a good Nazi will be a larger percentage of the whole.
I took off at a quarter to 6 with my package, trash to throw out, and some of the donated food to give out. After the post office, I stopped at H Mart both to drop off packages and also to find the bum, who was sitting in front of FedEx anyway, and gave them a bag of 12 foil packs of cooked chicken and a can opener so they won't be daunted by cans. I got a "thank you" and I asked if they go on Reddit - they don't. I tried to tell them about a user named "MrsDirtbag" who was homeless and knows the system in and out and likes to help people. No interest, really.
Next I stopped at Tom's and he was all involved watching "The French Connection" on broadcast TV so he couldn't pause it. I gave him a bag with 6-8 packages of sphaghetti and "angel hair". I know he uses spaghetti because practically everyone does, and everyone knows how to cook it. It's also something he can feed his hangers-on with on the cheap.
I got back here and equipped the bike with the step stool and reacher stick and went back out to check the medical place. Not much there other than some packing stuff, but by the aquarium place there was a Coleman cooler left out, and I asked a lady whose business was next door if she was tossing it out, just to be safe. She said it looked like it was up for grabs due to its being left outside. The hinges on the lid are broken so that answered it, but I said cheerfully that it will work great for what I have in mind.
What I have in mind is, the spaghetti I have is in plastic packaging and mice love to chew right through that stuff. If I keep the spaghetti in the cooler, mice aren't going to get in.
I got back here and put another thing on Craig's List. Wow are things slow.
