To be perfectly, imperfect \u2026 I miss the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not the disease, specifically, (\u2018cuz that ain\u2019t going nowharz<\/em>) but the restrictions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I really liked staying home, and so did the world.

Time is so relative. And what about when the Earth stopped turning for about a day? {Joshua 10:12<\/em>} On when GOD rolled it on back to prove His promise? {Isaiah 38:8<\/em>} How badly did that screw up the timetables? And what about when we\u2019re asleep? And how about that matrix? And those parallel synergistics from the lower fourth dimension (where the reptilian ETs rule humans \u2013 whoops! tangent \u2026 I digress) but you get my point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We (the humans we) can\u2019t be proof positive as to the actual time, day or year, \u2018cept somebody else told us, \u2018cuz we certainly weren\u2019t paying attention when we were young. \u2018Cept in school, shortly before summer break. We ALL knew what time it was then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Time is like money \u2026 we all just agreed what it was at some point, and both will eventually run out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kind of like debt (bringing that right on around<\/em>) \u2026 using intangible funds (a la credit) to buy tangible goods and offered services is part of the trick \u2026 use future earned money to pay for past acquired stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Not to say vendors should not be paid, but in cash<\/em> \u2026 that way, the deal is done, the present is paid for, and future money not yet obtained remains unspent.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n But that\u2019s not how things work, now is it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n All we must be shackled by past decisions to future consequences \u2026 and the future is now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, with that said, here\u2019s our gorilla, present state:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Went up a little \u2026 Half requested some funds, so that\u2019s a chunk there, will be gone by September, if current trends hold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ehh, could be better, it\u2019s been a lot worse. Keep it moving \u2026 the monkey is learning its lessons. Wheee!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To be perfectly, imperfect \u2026 I miss the pandemic.
