I am not mr green. I do not give a flying rats ass about the Environment except as it refers to conservation. Conservationism, and not Environmentalism, is where sanity lies.

but I loves me some LED lights.

They have been cheap- and yes, I get that they’re cheap because of subsidies, but I’ll take cheap, most ways it comes to me- but most of all they’re durable.

I cannot use those corkscrew fluorescents, because my household voltage fluctuates far too much. they either die premature deaths or catch fire, fuckem. LED’s, on the other hand, are capable of withstanding large variations in voltage, and their power supplies are internally regulated. For the very first time in the16 years I have lived in this house, I put four bulbs in outdoor fixtures and they lasted all winter. the LED lamp I put in my nightstand last week is dimmable, and never gets hot to the touch. THIS is something I can count as serious progress.

That hit home and made a good deal of sense.

“I don’t believe in miracles. I depend on them”. I like that, I like it a lot. I have co-opted it. I have had a couple, personally, over the last several years. I stand in awe and wonder each time one occurs. I hear whispering of more coming my way.

And I put too many peas in the crock pot at first, so had to take some out

So tonight I fried some spam up and added a can of diced tomatoes and chilis, and the balance of the black eyed peas.

A lot better than you’d think, actually. Looking forward to having it for lunch tomorrow.

Sunday I burned the web of my thumb on the exhaust manifold of the exploder, and because it didn’t hurt too bad I didn’t draw the fire as I was taught to do. So now it’s supurated and the skin has sloughed off. itches like a mother. The far worse burn I got on the finger some weeks ago, I drew the fire, and it never gave me a moment’s trouble, though it was on the most sensitive part of my hand.

All the years I cooked with bay leaves and I just find out they are only used to de-fart foods. You can bet there weren’t any in my Black eyed peas and spam. Tomorrow is going to be epic.
