Got the day off to a good start with a decent dash. Nothing flashy, nothing scintillating. Just decent.
At lunch time, I had all of these big plans. A todo list of reminders a full computer screen in length! And then my calendar app beeped at me reminding me that I needed to take EC to her PT appointment. Sigh. Maybe tomorrow I will get to my long list of todo stuff. Though I did actually find time and energy to do a few of them. Like look for a jalapeño popper recipe. I think I am going to try baking them this time. I do need a few more ingredients, though…
Lunch was leftover pizza and wings. I took the time to thaw the wings and then deep fry them. So much better than the toaster oven thawing and baking method imho.
JC came along for the ride to EC’s physical therapy appointment. But he opted to run my errands with me instead of hanging out with EC while she worked. He had an ulterior motive – to go the bank himself! He had been talking about getting to the bank for a while now and I am glad we could make that happen. Of course, I forgot one of the reasons I went to the bank and will now have to go again sometime. But I did score 10 $2. Woo hoo! None were old and exciting though. Sigh.
While heading back to pick EC up, we stopped and I ran two more errands while JC waited patiently in the car. One was at the Vinyl store where they said that they did do vinyl lettering. I really do wonder how that gets affixed to the car. Hopefully something like rubber cement – nothing that will eat the paint or is too easily removed. Like the adhesive that the car people use on their logos on cars. Hmm, maybe the car place can tell me where to get that sort of lettering done. Lastly, I stopped at my campaign bank where I made a quick deposit. Getting closer to the $5k!
After dropping EC and JC off back at their house, I did a second, abbreviated dash. For a two hour dash I did pretty well, despite a lot of driving. Or maybe because of a lot of driving. Anyway, I did well enough that stopping at my regular time didn’t seem like too big a deal.
And tonight it was cheap chicken night at KFC. So I have some chicken waiting for me in the kitchen which I am now going to go eat!
Augustus for President: As I said, I added some more money to my campaign account. I am still waiting on my treasurer/brother to tell me exactly what I need to do to get the FEC to check out my bank account and give me actual candidate status. He will get that information to me one day, I am sure.
I also had a couple of ideas. One was stimulated by the radio guest I was listening to today. I don’t write a lot of press releases. I am guessing that that is something that the LLMs would do pretty well. And I was thinking that for the red states, I might ask an AI to make me seem more palatable to people who might otherwise think I am not their cup of tea. It might work.
The other idea is that I will not accept shouted questions. It is rude. If someone wants to ask me a question, they can raise their hands and I will call on them. Is that a bad thing? I would like to try to get back to a civil and respectful place in political discourse and the relationship between journalists (hahahaha) and the people they are interested in talking with.
