Ramblings
It would seem I don't post anything of any importance or value. But I do have some quick ramblings.
Buy Christmas gifts (if you are in a disposition to buy any) from local shops whenever you can. Screw the big store, these little shops are going to need all the help they can get. It's my theory that our economy would be in better shape if we shopped local a little more often. (If you live in the Twin Cities check out Two 12 Pottery. I love that place.)
In vaguely related news, I find that I like hand made pottery far more than I realized.
When did news organizations decide to start using the word "kin"? (Referring to family.) South of Iowa, sure, but in Minnesota? I don't have a problem with the word, it just seems like an odd choice. I just started noticing it in headlines in the last year or so.
I've started on a sort of personal preparednesses kick. To those that know me this might scare you a bit. I'm in the process of building a 72 hour survival kit in my mind. (No buying stuff until after New Years.) The idea is to set up a kit that will keep you going in a disaster for at least 72 hours. I have also discovered that I don't have nearly enough good flashlights or knives.
It's true.
I am also looking at putting together a "Get home" bag. (also called Every Day Carry bag or EDC). So not only am I thinking about the sort of stuff I wish I could have with me all the time, I'm looking at a variety of man-purses that will carry all.
Gotham City is in trouble. Call for BATMAN!!
If you see me sort of staring off into space, I'm probably trying to figure out what I would do in some strange, highly unlikely situation. I have rough plans for what I would do in all sorts of stupid situations. Not only what I would do, but what I think others would do. Who I think would need extra help. How I could help them. What if I couldn't help someone without putting my kin at risk. (<- See? Sounds odd coming from a Northerner doesn't it?) (I know you can't hear me. Stop judging me.)
See? Here is the real reason I don't post more often. My brain works like this all the damn time. I don't think it's anything like A.D.D. I think my brain is just a tangled mess of thought-strands that get tangled up. I can't follow one slowly enough to type it out without others getting all tangled up. I was like this with letters too. (You know, back when people mailed sheets of paper with words on them to each other.)
Message ends.
