Happy Tuesday, GN. Man, I slept poorly -- maybe 3 hours all told. That’s all I got.

Thanks, Mac -- I will do my best to be welcoming, optimistic, and enthusiastic. Or I could go full Fatwa.

Never go full Fatwa.
Just sayin’.

That’s good advice, but sometimes it just happens. Hopefully not today right now -- first meetings with him are this afternoon -- as my mind seems to be clear. How it will be in 3 hours is anyone’s guess. I was pretty disoriented up until about an hour ago. I don’t do well without at least 6 hours of sleep.

First impressions. In my experience, there’s two types of managers. 1) Those that look out for those reporting to them, or 2) Those that look out for those above them. I think this guy is #2, but I may be premature in my judgement as he’s only been here two days.

That’s all good advice, Mac, and I can’t say I’m surprised at how you handled managing and management.

You’re the type of politician we need -- someone who is good at the job, but doesn’t want it.

Happy Tuesday, Gerbil Nation!
Good morning, Sven, and Mac!

Sven -- sorry about your sleep situation. I hope your meeting with your new boss goes well.

Coyotes howling like every hour on the hour -- that’s what kept me up.

Here’s an honest question. At times, I’ve buried a few things around the property just to give someone some excitement if they ever find them in the future. One little box had some spent .45 cartridges, an old handkerchief with a blood stain, and some foreign coins. But if like me you expect the country to be very different 50-100 years from now, and not in a good way, what would you put in a time capsule that someone 1) Might find useful in the future, or 2) Would show what America was?

That’s an interesting question, Sven. I’ll have to think about that. An instruction book on manual machining? A few grocery store flyers to show how cheap and plentiful food was?

Both good ideas.

A copy of the Constitution was one of my first thoughts. I had thought of a thumb drive with a bunch of stuff on it, but upon further research that doesn’t seem feasible.

A mass shooting that got zilch attention from the anti-2A crowd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsAk9hzXblY

We wouldn’t want the plebes fearing for their safety due to open borders and a free flow of drugs into this country.
