I have come to the uncharitable conclusion rather later in life that there are a lot more stupid people out there than I had thought.
Stupid, selfish, and actively cruel.
Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Truth.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have been saddened to realize that there are a lot more people out there who don't regard anyone who isn't them as real, or at least as someone who matters, than I had previously supposed.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
On the flipside, this doesn't make me despair for humanity in general.
It just makes me understand that the spectrum from bad to good behavior is a lot wider than I thought.
Most people are not bunched towards a Median Good.
There are some actively Very Bad people out there and Very Good people.
It's just the bad people are worse than I thought. They drag the bottom of the scale down.

Herding cats for fun
Stoopid people: last week I was on a family Zoom meeting. My auntie who still inexplicably loves the orange Cheeto took the cake. She suggested poking holes into the mask her daughter has to wear at Costco. After we had all laughed at the story about the lady who cut a hole in her mask saying that made it easier to breathe.
I'm kinda glad my Dad was not here to hear that one. He loved his sister, even though her politics made him want to throw up.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Since Thursday we started a week of 95-100 Fahrenheit. I do not have A/C in my place and the fan helps but it's still too hot to focus for long hours. Do Not Want.

That sounds miserable, Shir.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Not that miserable, just not highly effective in meeting my deadlines.
Edit: oh, just checked! Deadline #5 for the next 36 hours is actually due on Thursday! I think I can meet all of the other four deadlines without passing out, woo-hoo!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Just got boozy breakfast/brunch delivered. Felt like an ass because I forgot to add tip before I hit complete order. I pulled together all the cash in my house and ran out the tip to them - they were an hour ahead of the expected delivery time. - delivery from the store, not a service.
