I might be completely wrong. I am not. Global warming is a good thing and perfectly natural. If mankind were to never have developed technology and remained a low population species somewhere in tropical Africa, the planet would still be warming. We're coming out of an ice age, folks. Benefits: greater vegetation due to more carbon for the plant life to breath, calmer weather, and more usable land mass. Downsides: sea levels will rise due to ice melting and oceanic water expansion resulting in a change of shore lines. that sucks for the wealthy folk that own coastal property and natives who live on islands that will become refugees. This will take centuries at the present rate of warming. To try to fight mother nature in this goes against my beliefs as a wiccan, to spend money on green energy that isn't green or functional offends me as a consumer, tax payer and a Libra. Ultimately non-breeder nuclear technology, which is beginning to include fusion, are the green most, cheap, sustainable and least land intensive solutions.

I got a huge warm fuzzy from my favorite Celtic band, the Old Blind Dogs. The Scottish lads approved my request to include them in Dragons and Their Wizards. They be playing at the tavern, Beggar's Farm.

Another shout out to Little Caesar's for giving away some pizza to us less fortunate ones living in a homeless shelter. They delivered enough whole pies for everyone to get stuffed, a stack that would measure to the ceiling. Awesome. At least someone cares to shine a ray of hope into our lives.

I am in love with a woman I have never met. I don't know her name, nor where she lives. I know she is short, svelte, a brunette, much younger and with full lips. I had a vision of her a few years ago and according to tarot I will meet her finally before years out. She is my soulmate, the one I've been longing to rejoin for many lifetimes, many centuries. I know, or think I know, a few other things about her like she spent most of the summer of 2020 at the shore being at least one time on a golden and brown fiberglass small boat; she has all four twilight movies on DVD and so I've held off watching those to watch them w her; during that time she or her family had a small tan colored dog and one of her favorite musicians was Lorde. Hello, I love you won't you tell me your name.

I am confident that she can already feel our heart's connection but I suspect our first meeting will be awkward. I hope it's not like we meet at a railway station going the opposite directions and only have time to exchange phone numbers. The time waiting for her call, or waiting for a first date would be the longest bits of my life. Longer than waiting in the shu to be released from prison, longer than my wait outside Disney world for my step mom and three young brothers to arrive so as I can meet them for the first time. Longer than all the fishes have been in the ocean... And part of my challenge will be to not come off as a creep, being old enough to be her father.

So much for there not being anymore daylight savings time shifts. I've still not adapted to the new time sleep wise.

I had my first colonoscopy, ever. The prep drink wasn't too chalky and nearly tasteless and went well in Mt. Dew. I've not drunken that much soda since I was a kid and they invented the double big gulp and I had coupons. Then, I only had to pee real bad and now I needed to go buy more toilet paper.

My appointment was for 11:30 am and I arrived early, courtesy of modivcare, a transportation group associated with medicaide. They were also going to be my ride home from Cooper Hospital here in Camden. They didn't start my procedure until 2:15pm knowing that my ride pickup was scheduled for 2:30 as they told me that I should plan to be there for three hours. They were absolutely insistent that I needed that ride because of the anesthesia. Come 3:20 pm as I'm waking up and getting dressed they tried calling modivcare to arrange for another ride, which wasn't happening. I wound up checking myself out, against doctor's orders to catch the bus home. Otherwise they would've had me stay the night. A pleasant and welcome a change as that would be, I would have possibly lost my bunk at the shelter and had my stuff packed up. So I got home safely, I really didn't feel any swimmy head effects from the knock out drugs, just a little bit more sleepy than usual.

The next day, and to their credit, they called me to see how I was doing and I told them the story. Later, a supervisor called me because I had complained and I told her the story again. Hopefully they'll figure out scheduling a bit better, especially when one has time designated medical transportation.

Reddit is my new online home for socializing and many other things. I love it. I'm in the wicca, witchcraft, chaos magick, excons, pathfinder and various memes groups amongst others.

I'm always in a rush. I hurry when I wake up to get ready to leave. I speed walk to the library, often stopping to buy my lunch. At the library I dictate my books, work on this here, and so on. When I get back I hurry to eat, I hurry to smoke, I hurry to get more coffee, to watch my tv shows and movies (often while looking at Reddit or playing civ or some such) and when I go to bed, I hurry to get to sleep to do it all again.

I've been logging on to the one website that requires reCAPTCHA checks w pop ups and picture selections to prove I'm human. The only thing is, the folks what designated which squares were the right ones don't seem to know the difference between mopeds and motorcycles, or crosswalks and street painted turn signs. I'm human, but are they? Certainly, for they have erred.

Top ten things that would fix the prison justice system

10: Unless someone needs to be kept for life, don't have prison sentences longer than five years, otherwise reintegration is exponentially more difficult.

9: End double jeapordy, which is more than one conviction on the same evidence. Are we in the United States or the individual states of crime and punishment? One can get convicted in multiple states plus the fucking feds and have to do all of that time.

8: End criminal registries, the odds of your child will ending up on one are much, much greater than they'll be protected by knowing where a criminal lives and works.

7: Seal criminal records, outside of jobs that require security clearance or deal with sensitive info like ssns. Disallow background checks otherwise.

6: End mandatory minimums and let the judges decide.

5: Harsher penalties for prosecutor who lie in court. Of those I've surveyed, 98% of the inmates said the judge or prosecutor lied in court.

4: The attorney general should not be used as a tool against politicians of the rival parties but instead should be rooting out corrupt cops and prosecutors.

3: Conspiracy charges should be limited to massive ricco cases, not for former associates of small time drug dealers.

2: The president should use his power of pardon when the justice system is mistaken. I've known folks convicted w illegal general search warrants and a doctor who was convicted of prescription selling on dea officers testimony alone.

1: End the fruitless war on drugs. It's not keeping drugs off of the streets nor ending organized crime. More people are dying of fentanyl than guns and cars combined. It's just killing people and locking them up, ruining families. We could make it prescription, thus safe and taxable.

We're on each other's team. And you know, we're on each other's team.
