    wishes that I could still find cool gif memes on Craigslist. All that is there now is horrible political stuff.

    is living with only a single small LED lantern for light until I can get my house battery running. Turns out the battery distributor no longer offers charging services, so I will use my grandfather's 1940s era industrial grade charger.

    I've been off for a few days bc my lithium house battery died and my main generator is in Eugene, Ore., being serviced. My mom finally sent me money for a cheap stopgap generator. I will have to take the battery to the distributor in Reno for a proper recharge/renewal.

    My generator quit, likely because it needs a fuel filter. Unfortunately, replacing it can only be done by qualified Cummins service personnel. So I have to take it to the heavy equipment dealer in Medford and talk them into looking at it.

    I have my dad's 1965 Royal Futura. He used to lug it all over Sacramento State University when he attended 1965-68. How I don't know. It works well but the typeface looks really weird.

    My printer is already out of ink. That stuff is really hard to find in the type I need and it is super expensive when I do find it.

    A wallet is a good item to splurge on since it needs to last for a very long time. I needed a wallet in 2017, so I dropped $120 (IIRC) on a nice Michael Kors at Macys. It is still going and still in really good shape. I chose it because it has RFID blocking material.

    I had an intense dream last night where the reptilians went on national TV and admitted that all the conspiracy theories were true. When I woke up my entire body was tense and it took 15min to relax. Very weird.

    unplugged my shortwave ham radio antennas due to thunderstorms in the area. It just started to rain but no thunder/lightning seems to be accompanying it.

    is concerned that in a couple years there might be serious shortages of food and other goods. At least I will be able to garden and forage, which means I will be better off than city dwellers.

    is angry that a locust infestation meant that I could not plant a garden this year. At least I can still forage for acorns and wild berries.

    Legally blind

    I went through a time starting in the mid aughts where I was hanging out in online forums with people who convinced me that my autism was a minor impediment to success. Under their tutelage, I tried to start two small businesses, both of which failed due to (surprise!) the effects of autism...

    For the most part 988 won't call the cops unless it's an extreme situation. 988 is there to talk you down from the cliff. They know that calling the cops is counterproductive at best and deadly at worst in a mental crisis.

    Instagram is probably the worst of all the social media "platforms". People will go to EXTREMES to look rich and happy on it. I was reading earlier today about a couple in their early 40s who were so obsessed with Instagram perfection that they took out loan shark-type loans. In the end the...

    Some sit down casual dining restaurants will hand out stuff like mints after a meal (such as on the tray with your bill) as a way to let you know they appreciate your business. With inflation and the plague, that's less and less common. Some just have a jar at the register with mints inside...

    I am giving up most refined sugars.

    I have the same struggle, and even though my intake is nowhere near what it once was when I would inhale a dozen large candy bars at one sitting, it is still there. Refined sugar is chemically analogous to cocaine on the molecular level, and breaking the addiction is a similar journey to...

    I was talking with my mom on voice phone yesterday (3 August) and suddenly the siren sound went off on my damaged inverter. My mom then said I had her permission to go to Medford that day and use the joint credit card to replace it. So I did. No more sirens at random times, yay.

    For my bedside clock I use a LED clock so I can see it in the dark. I tried battery ones, they eat batteries incredibly fast. When I first moved out here I had a clock from Ikea, and one night it drained to zero while I slept. I woke up in the morning with a nice Swedish brick next to my bed...

    I have to buy a new small inverter, it runs the general AC plug system in my tiny house for little stuff like alarm clock and cell phone signal amplifier and laptop. Mom says "you broke it, you pay to replace it". So I have to wait a couple weeks for my new credit card statement period to start.
