Ellipses...

Keeping after the writing is a lot of work.  We'll have to make do with a lot of Ellipses...  Justice shut down the prosecution of Micheal Flynn today.  Congratulations, we now live in a Banana Republic.  Laws don't apply to the President's Men...  People are protesting in the street over loss of lives and the administration is detailing guards to watch over endangered statues.  That might be a good definition of tone deaf...  Today I found out that what I had been told "rule of thumb" came from, it didn't.  But it doesn't matter because it somehow got codified as being about that anyway...  We're making real progress on the fit out of the basement in the house.  It is certainly coming along nicely...  Do you know anyone that wants a treadmill?  How about an exercise bike?  We might have a couple of spares...  I'm pushing through House of Lies for the second time.  It is a really well done show, but some of it doesn't hold up too well culturally...  Sitting at this machine late into the night - to do the blog or to do anything else - is dangerous to my wallet.  Online shopping is really a curse, just way, way too easy to spend money...  There are 16 post-its on my desk with ideas for posts on this site.  For reasons I don't understand it is really difficult to get from post idea to post...  Today as a result of a selfish complaint at work the whole group can dispense with what was clearly an unreasonable ask.  Just goes to show, if you don't ask, you don't get...  The social distancing protocols have me thinking about buying an ultra-small desktop TV to be part of our entertainment center - pretty much exclusively for use doing Zoom sessions.  The next thing on the list of things we really probably don't need...  Gib5on and Sabian both had house call visits from their doc today.  Both seemed to be doing ok.  Nice to have professional confirmation...  The new bike has been sitting in a box in the garage for a couple of days now.  It isn't doing anyone any good in there.  Got to do something about that...  We're working on what to do about shows in the fall.  All things being equal the discussion seems to be moving backward.  Probably will make a leap forward in a day or two.  Here's hoping...  Allegheny County COVID cases were up this week.  People aren't taking the mitigations seriously.  There were people at the store today without masks (which is just slightly worse than the masks not covering their nose).  Gonna get worse before it gets better I'm afraid...
