Unquiet On The Personal Front

Humpday, 4 Gathring (Wintring/Winterfilth), 2005

Not that it's necessarily a bad thing when that sort of thing happens - we can think of quite a few other details that we're glad are not under our personal radar these days. So it's not much of a story (and it's not going to be either) to tell.

There's also not much we can add to the discussion about the hurricanes, other than to express our admiration and respect for some of our cyberfriends who have gone far above and beyond the call in helping out those who have been disadvantaged without resources of their own to fall back on. There are millions who have been less able to feed themselves than they were a month ago. Knowing that there are many hands out there organizing the basics for them enables us to fan our small flame of hope that mankind will do the right thing and mature without self-destructing. Today.

We also couldn't help noticing that it appears that conglomerates will be conglomerates. What a surprise - for some strange reason the credit card companies feel that they should be entitled to receive the increased security their customers demand these days without bearing the cost of it themselves. They want retailers to pay for it in increased transaction fees. Gee, I wonder who's going to get screwed by this sort of thing when all is said and done?

We would be remiss if we didn't comment on the DeLay bugs scurrying out from under rocks karmic intervention indictments when he abused taxpayer-funded government largesse to gerrymander Tax-Ass. And still has the cheek to protest his innocence and bemoan the supposed partisan political nature of anyone daring to question his integrity. Blah blah blah IOKIYAR. Hopefully this time the sheeple get it...

Finally, on one of those personal notes: We can point out that it is now the month of Gathring in the Midling Calendar and let you know that we're finalizing the extra picture selection for the fourteen month 2006 Midling Calendar. And that it should be available for sale soon at Lulu.com as well as through the offices of Your Humble Narrator (as it has been for some time now). Email us and ask us for your own personalized calendar. We should be able to get it to you in under a month, and certainly before the start of the year!
