Evie Day 306
Hi folks. It is Tuesday!
I need to keep reminding myself of that… it always throws me off when there’s a holiday that lands on Monday.
It is 16 January 2024.
OK, so an update. We have propane. Were waiting on a plumbing tech to come take a look at our hot water situation and get the tanks working. I think we’ll be ok to take hot showers tonight. We made do with boiling water and washcloths yesterday, and we’ll be fine for the day – no meetings away from home, as I teach online, and my wife and son had classes canceled due to the cold weather up on the hill.
We watched some football yesterday, as the delayed Bills – Steelers was fun. The Bills went out on a 21-0 lead early, and the Steelers tried hard to get back into it, but they came up short. In the nightcap, The Tampa Bay Buccaneers sent the Philadelphia Eagles into the offseason with a surprisingly one-sided match. Jalen Hurts was hampered by a dislocated finger which he tried to overcome, but Baker Mayfield and the Buccs were just too much for them, and the Eagles ended up losing, a bad trend as they ended the season losing 6 out of 7 after starting the season 10-1.
Trump won the Iowa Caucuses. I think Trump is unfit to serve, but apparently, I do not think about Trump the same way Republicans in Iowa think. One woman working at a Trump booth was on the news and she said that God was behind Trump’s success. I have serious doubts that Trump is God’s candidate… but, as we have seen, there is a certain portion of the population that believes just that.
Time for me to buckle down and get ready for my day. I’m back in my virtual classroom in a couple of hours talking about cybersecurity. Later on, there will be much discussion of tacos.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
