I went fishing today for the first time in quite a while. It makes me think of hunting, in that both share an interesting quality. You get credit for doing something while, really, you are doing nothing.

Surprisingly relaxing.

OK, now the break is really over. I have been engaged in a variety of distracting pursuits of late. So I haven’t really had the time to wade into all the ridiculous murk warping the collective mind of the world.

Also, I’m lazy.

So I shall be mounting my high horse soon, ready to give inexpert and unqualified opinions on myriad topics from A to B. (Again, I’m rather lazy.)

“Peace,” as the kids say. Or once did. I’m not sure.

Break’s over.

Back to work.

It’s been an interesting ride in its way. But after my two year stint, I’m happy to get this monkey off my back. At least, that is, once I finish the minutes.

Now I can get back to science and such.

It seems among groups of professionals are individuals who could be described as clinically insane. I almost lost my cool with a guy who was yelling insane right-wing-nut bullshit at a Border Patrol agent doing his job.

I will never get why a disproportionately high percentage of people who work for the government insist that government employees are all parasites living off the work of decent hard-working Americans.

I guess irony is subtle to some.
