Okay, I started out the week telling you I was working on something that required Thought. Yeah, well. Try that while you’re deadlining and spending the days having parts of your house reduced noisily to rubble, being unexpectedly without both power and plumbing for much of the time (and listening to the plumber blame the carpenter for plumbing screwups and the carpenter explain why he needs to take an extra day and a half on the job playing electrician), and … well, ETC. Lots and lots of ETC.<\/p>\n
Whether I’ll be able to return to the Deep Thought blog, I don’t know. I will<\/i> have some thoughts on why a good, cherished, old-fashioned 3.5 gallon toilet may not be such a great thing when you have to fill its tank manually from stored water. And why I chose to do that rather than resort to the kitty-litter-powered emergency potty. <\/p>\n
Also, later today or over the weekend (whenever I get my electricity back) I’ll start posting some Christmas gift suggestions for the preppers, freedomistas (and preppers- and freedomistas-to-be) and some good (non-me) causes you might want to give a boost to during this charitable season.<\/p>\n
Finally, before everything goes lights-out again, thank you<\/i> for reviving my Amazon links<\/a> month. By yesterday, you’d pulled sales up to normal (after a scary start to October). That plus 10 (whee!) signups for free Amazon Prime made it a quite decent month.<\/p>\n I’m offline for a bit now. Maybe a few hours, maybe a day. So in the meantime, obey your new Obamacare overlords, heed the vast wisdom of Joe Biden, admire the constitutional knowledge of Di and Chuckie, absorb the Truth from the mainstream media, thank the NSA and CIA for keeping you safe, cheer for whatever drone war(s) our Wise Leaders are conducting today — and keep everything else to your eeeevil little Freedom Outlaw<\/a> selves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Okay, I started out the week telling you I was working on something that required Thought.
