Well, that was unexpected. I got a call from EC saying that JC and she needed help. So I leapt (metaphorically) out of bed, did my morning ablutions and headed down there. When I got to the house, things were already calmer. And EC had also called another helpful human to come and see what assistance he could provide. He was a great help and went and got another walker for JC’s use. While he was gone, EC fed JC and me some lunch. And after DW returned, he and I made up their fold out sofa for their sleep tonight. Tomorrow, DW will help to get their hospital type beds out of their upstairs bedroom and bring them both down into the TV room. I think a little mobile armoire would be a good thing, too. But one step at a time. I was there for a good little bit today.
Then I bailed, promising to come back tomorrow to get EC to her PT appointment. I had errands I wanted to run, even though it is a Sunday. I stopped at the library to drop off the book I finished yesterday. And then picked up two more books to read from SM who had left them on her porch. Lastly, I went to Staples and bought a B&W printer for the campaign. The one I have been using was lent to me by the GLO and I plan on returning it on Monday. And I didn’t want to be without a printer. Next task today, set up the new printer!
I got the printer set up – there was a step missing in their instructions, but the internet helped me get there. This is the same printer that I got JC to purchase when he was looking to replace his older printer. It is pretty cool. It does two sided printing and scans and even faxes I think. Lucky campaign!
I also did my Sunday things – showered, changed my sheets (and my mattress pad) and will do a largish load of laundry this evening. My second load of laundry for the week! I am a laundering fool!
For dinner tonight, three sausage links, two over easy eggs, and two pieces of raisin bread toast. Looks like no asparagus(tus) tonight either. Sigh.
On a completely different note: Elon thinks that Tesla won’t be selling many cars in just a year and a half. And I think he is way off. I think it will be more like fifteen years before 90% of the traffic in the world is autonomous. Yes, getting autonomous vehicles and robotaxis to half the population of the US could possibly be achieved in a year and a half (though I think that is probably not realistic either). Great. So the rest of the US, not to mention the world) will take progressively slower. Just like charging. The first x% goes quickly, then it slows down. Like an S curve. And the steep part of the curve is going to take longer than he thinks it will and people will still need cars with pedals and steering wheels for years to come. Imho
Augustus for President: I have a campaign finance guy! Welcome aboard KAS. So excited. And I am getting him relatively inexpensively. At least that is my opinion. People in Maine – look at Graham Platner running for Senate to oust Collins. I hope he wins. I have all sorts of things on my presidential plate, some of which I will handle sooner than others. I am conflicted about Patreon – because it looks like the platform is pretty money hungry. Gofundme is another option. Capitalism sucks. But I hope to have a website up and ways to donate on it at some point before the end of the month. It will be a Work in Progress (WIP) but it will at least be something I can point people to.
