That time the Allies....

 Decided they were exerting a "genocide" against the Germans in WWII so they withdrew to the German borders, let the Nazis keep their weapons and ideology, sent in tons of aid, and of course 10 years later the Nazis were still sending rockets and drones into London and Paris... 

Oh, wait, that didn't happen. No, we chased the Germans right down to the bunker hiding their King Rat, who politely offed himself. Germany was at least largely de-Nazified, and occupied by the Allies until they could behave themselves. 

But this first, fictional, case is exactly what Biden has decided to do in Israel. This is why I think Bibi should have gone in fast, hot, and HARD and leveled Gaza on October 8th, the day after the attack, and leveled the fucking place. It's what Sharon or Golda or Ben-Gurion or any good leader would have done. 

I listed the 20 things I had all ready to go, and did something that feels really subversive these days: I practiced on my cornets. It feels like there's no time to do so these days, and it's certainly cold and not all that great out there for busking, but yesterday and today I made the time. 

After practice and eating something, I cleaned the place up and got things out of the warehouse that had sold, and Ken came by right on time and I got my check. I told him I might not deposit it until Friday though. 

The cheapo mouthpiece I got from Austin Custom Brass is junk, it lowers each note by half a tone and I don't know what to do with it. Palm it off on someone I guess. Both the Connstellation and the Getzen have a nicer sound than the Yamaha (made in China) trumpet and I practiced on both today and yesterday. The thing with the Connstellation is it's quite heavy, and I'm not sure if I want to busk with it, although it does have a "big" sound.

Sunday evening

 Well, what a weekend. In Friday I got things mailed out and went to the service. But before that, I'd eaten and had a Guinness at Whole...
