I will say the weather here is never mediocre or half-assed–it’s always extreme.  This week featured t-storms and excessive heat alerts at the same time, with heat indices approaching India standards.  Good excuse to just stay home and have writer’s block–nothing to write about, with my caretaking complete.  Just awaiting Avdi’s return, and doing procrastinated chores.  Yep, that’s my riveting life.

I could comment on the most recent example of calling 911 while being Black, then getting shot to death by a cop for her troubles.  It’s no wonder people of color take their own chances rather than call the police.  Half the time the cops are unstable, unvetted, and have records themselves.  Even a little psycho.  Imagine calling for help with an intruder, then a cop murders you instead for no reason.  I know this goes on every day in every state, and more articulate, informed people have written about it and acted upon it.  This is just me, a nobody sitting here wondering how it is humans are still insane savages, still regressing in 2024.

OK, like I said, not much to say here.  I just spent a week with pretty much no human contact, not that hard to do, so that’s my excuse.  I’m still alive, so that’s something!  Maybe I need alien contact–probably more civilized.
