Looks like about 1/5 of the 5 mill and change people in the great state of South Cacklalacky are without electricity at present.

More than that now that I think about it. That’s just outages. Most outages are probably more than one person.

Looks like the part we were getting is mostly past us now. Winds are still high though.

That’s definitely the plan. As far as it goes the plant is one of the safer places to be in the county.

Well. The hurricane that was supposed to miss us is overhead now. Definitely staying at work even though we not starting, up for two hours.

I think I got this primal app figured out so I just switched over permanent like to primal.

Never had pumpkin spice anything. I could go for some roasted pumpkin seeds with salt though.

We shall see. Passed a couple of downed trees in the road on the way to work and we shouldn’t even be getting the hurricane itself. We gots to make tires though. Hurricane or no.

I’m in Lexington county.

Which Dutch Fork? There’s one not to far from me in South Carolina?

Even if it was a tool they created for their own use there’s no reason to not use it for our own purposes if it’s a good tool just because others use it for evil. People use guns for evil. Especially governments. I still own one for my own use. It’s a good tool to have.

The empire always comes home. In this case centuries of weeding out your fighting men before the meat grinder that was two world wars in service of maintaining said empire. Then people from former dominions moving into the heart of the former empire en masse. Hope it was all worth it.

It’s been so long since I’ve done either I couldn’t tell you. I need to run an experiment. I guess I need to find someone to snog. For science.

I remember leaving middle school early to go a Jimmy Buffett concert in that time period. Probably 2000 though. Good times.

That’s why giving power to the government over the corporations never really made sense to me. Fact is people that accumulate wealth are going to have more of a say and power over other people. With or without a government.

The betrayal. Some people.

I think I’ll wait 1,000 years or so until they actually have it terraformed. Certainly a century or so. Unless they entice us with 1,000 acres that we get to keep even after terraforming. I might would consider it then. Maybe.

I suspect it’s going to be like a Heinlein book I read one time though. We aren’t going to mars. They will. People with *lots* of money I mean. We get to go if we can fill a slot that 1,000,000 other people were shooting for because we have 3-4 skills they need. PhDs in multiple disciplines type stuff. Simply because of how expensive it will still be to go there.

Good stuff.

I’m leaning towards a no on that one.

2308 here. 3.5 hours into a 12 hour shift.
