... and my unit, too Since 2015, I have lived in a 16-unit apartment building -- the first time I’ve rented since the early 90s. There have been some downs, but mostly, ups. My landlords – a married couple – have been very understanding during my downs. There have been times in which I was not able to pay the rent for a several months, but I’ve never seen an eviction notice.

Help Me Save my Landlords' Building

Baldilocks Top Traffic Magnets in 2020
I’ve been praying this to God almost every day since I memorized it. While doing so, I try to keep in mind that I’m talking to a person and when I find myself merely reciting the psalm, I stop and begin again.
As I have observed continuously during this pestilence, certain corners of our republic – usually governmental and media-related -- don't want the people to have hope and will say and do anything squash and quash even the whispers of it.
And if that hope comes from Orange Man Bad, those corners will lie repeatedly, even when the truth is right in front of all our faces.
I must stress again that this is a spiritual war and that we – human beings -- are proxies for this war.
Well, if you are afraid of being guilt-tripped, then I don’t know what to tell you, because anyone with a strong sense of self and strong attachment to truth can refuse inappropriate guilty feelings. And that same devotion to truth should make such people hungry for both the good and uncomplimentary history of a group people who are the most American of Americans.
Back in 1974 when Congo was called Zaire, and after the late boxing legend Muhammad Ali returned from his triumphant heavyweight championship bout in Kinshasa against George Foreman, aka the Rumble in the Jungle, Ali was asked what he thought of Africa.
People from other states heap a lot of scorn on us California conservatives for what we let happen to our state over the decades. But this – and Virginia, and, no doubt, countless other forms of tyranny are happening in your state and our country while you laugh at us.
The point is that Donald Trump did not need black voters to win in 2016 and does not need us this year. So why does he help and support black Americans? Why does he want us on the Trump Train?
Vaguely, I remember [Phil Haney] from my early days of blogging. He’s back in the news again; unfortunately for being dead.
No one is in a rush to go to work because so few are even allowed to go. The schools and colleges are shut down.
It’s certain, however, that much work and education is being conducted via digital means and when the shutdown ends, it will be interesting to see how these things will be transformed by the revelation that more stuff gets done when employees and students stay home
If the people believe that there will be no cure, we are more likely to let government have its way with us.
Pun intended.

Still Here
Just too much chaos and uncertainty in the world. But God is still in charge.
I'm concentrating on improving my physical health -- lost 22 pounds since August! Halfway point to the goal.
Oh and I'll probably be back at Da Tech Guy Blog next week. Go check him out; he has been very prolific of late.
