Unlike much of the country this summer, Encinitas has had pleasantly moderate temperatures. The last couple of weeks of hot days and warm nights caused lousy sleeping and eating patterns and intermittent blog-brain lethargy and minimal contributions from the troops.
National news from corporate media continues to incite with guns, hate, rape, lies, violence, porn, crap programing and suppression of alternatives. This affects people differently. Reading comments with online publications and blogs was like wading in fetid ditchwater with ugly, mean words from some. Yet, for some this cruelty just heats up the transformation into helplessness and despondency.
Had a few cold ones with friends yesterday and came away thinking that cooler minds will prevail. Just knowing we are all in this together is a soothing balm. It won't control the weather, it won't control the empire's descent or the media's hold on the nation.
New approach, think of this as a test run for the next century. Posting should increase as the body, the brain's acclimation to higher temperature (and entrapment by FIRE) does what it does.
