Cool mornings and cool evenings makes it all too easy to go to bed and all too hard to get back out in the morning.
Last night at the club one of the area police trainers put on a presentation about the use of deadly force, and it was not only informative but enjoyable, and gave me some food for thought. Need a day or two to digest it all.
I just want the republicans to stand their ground, and keep doing so, AD INFINITUM. it won’t make me feel all warm and fuzzy about them, but it will be a beginning.
Where you really understand how well looked after you are.
When I was a pup of a robot programmer, I did some pretty interesting things- some of them, I was told, were impossible. But like a bumblebee, I wasn’t well educated, so I did them anyway, and customers far and wide are still using those processes I wrote long ago.
None of this is me, of course. I owe all those skills to the Creator, and Saturday he reminded me I was in no ways responsible.
A very good friend and sometime hunting companion put his hands on a used robot of a fairly decent vintage, but in unknown condition. We got it some power, and it acted like it wanted to come online, but it wouldn’t get past the boot monitor.
There are procedures to resolve this. I knew what they were 20 years ago, but I’m damned if I remember now. But i did remember. I reinitialized the control and reloaded software and in almost no time I had it online and working properly.
Left to my own devices I would never have remembered that crap. It’s like having someone tell you how to build a submarine and having to remember it all and not leave anything out after only hearing it once and letting twenty years pass. It all came back, though, and it worked, and even I don’t fully undertstand just how miraculous it was. My friends, of course, took this all in stride and assumed it was just me knowing what I’m doing.
But I know better.
