[Yesterday’s run: 3.5 miles]<\/p>\n
I ran yesterday evening and I forgot to make a blog post.<\/p>\n
Today was busy, we had a lot of rain.\u00a0 But my autonomous weather station seems to be stuck at the moment. \ud83d\ude41\u00a0 That’s sad.<\/p>\n
I was doing some work on a VPN configuration and eventually discovered that my static IP address doesn’t seem to be working.\u00a0 Sad again! \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n
And a big article on vox.com says that people who support Trump are quasi-facists who just don’t like social change.\u00a0 Actually, it says they are “authoritarians” who value stability and social order. \u00a0 I don’t support Trump, but I can see some reasons why a person would.\u00a0 All of these people who have been saying that quick social change is going to bring trouble, turns out they were right.\u00a0 Sad again! \ud83d\ude41\u00a0 Who could have thought that people that claimed to be upset about Obamacare and gay “marriage”,\u00a0 illegal immigration … they actually meant it.\u00a0 Whoa.\u00a0 Vox being vox, they take the line that we really could do without these neanderthals, while also pointing out that anyone sufficiently threatened will do the same thing.\u00a0 You poke people with a stick and they tend to get mad.\u00a0 Who’d a thunk it?<\/p>\n
Which brings me to my final point:\u00a0 I kind of like President Obama.\u00a0 I like the idea of President Obama.\u00a0 But people have been telling me that he’s the most divisive president we’ve ever had.\u00a0 And I must admit I am starting to agree.\u00a0 By accelerating social change, and basically leaving a large part of the population with no voice in the changes, he’s ripping the place apart.<\/p>\n
I think I’ve wandered off base a bit.<\/p>\n
Anyway, lots of stuff going on, both on the home front, the work front, and the wider world.<\/p>\n
