So maybe on a night you just can't sleep you can read my ramblings...

Tuesday 11/8/16

Thinking about what to do, I found a hackathon I though I might join - Sat 11/12 all day to create a better city using arduino. (Remember that one about City of Boston bus routes - you were pissed at the amount of time I spent on it) Figured I'd go downtown for the preliminary meeting this afternoon and lo an behold I found my messenger computer bag in the back hall on a hanger with Noah's suit coats after not seeing it for a year. It was a good omen so I went.

The room was crowded (bad sign) nobody had a computer(bad sign). turns out it was a bunch of French kids from university of Lyon pitching their ideas on how to save the world. They were here to soak up the Boston/US startup culture and maybe work with software developers. I listened to a couple of hare-brained unoriginal ideas from these kids and then talked to one of the people who looked old enough to drive. He answered my immediate concerns not too satisfactorily and told me the kids were actually business school students. Then there was a break.

I went back out into the beautiful day on the harbor and thought I could stay .. or I could go to Zaigamites for dollar oysters.

The oysters were from the James River in Virginia and they were sweet and delicious and so was the beer something like Duck Island Pilsner from Maine. I was still a hungry so I asked for the menu - $20 burgers and $18 potstickers - so inspired, I came home walked Uli and steamed up some $2 potstickers.

Ran into Matt and __ and Noli on the road. Noli ended up attacking Tim and Penny, I knew it was going to happen but Matt and ___ had little anticipation of the the situation.

Stopped in to see Noah and Karen on that job on Biltmore. At least the damn rocks were out of the truck an roughly placed in the yard. They are still huge and making them level is a bitch, but the scary, hard part is finally over. Noah was a little touchy though so I left them to it.

After star trek the screen went back to photos and there was a picture of you sitting at a table at the Lobster place in Maine this summer. You looked so happy and beautiful. It was before we realized a storm was bearing down on us. I stared at the photo until it changed.

I am in delay mode not wanting to watch the election returns yet. Started watching a star trek like series called Dark Matter on netflix.

10p Oh shit Trump is winning.

Wednesday

I have a trump hangover. tired watching Democracy Now but that just made it worse. I think I'll go on radio silence for a few years. Hendrix came over to borrow the car and we talked how we were both trying to spin it with the '2 parties 1 con' line of reasoning but with mixed success. 'A fierce thirst for change' they are saying; the demand for 'change' or 'progress' or 'back to the old days' seems implanted in us somehow and is such a convenient lever to be used by the rich to mainipulate us at will.

My mom returned my call of last week. 'Stocks are doing fine today' she says 'just down about 40 points'. She admits to helping put him in office and can't wait till Colony and those democrats around her take down their signs. She suggested Shaun and Kathy were happy with the results.

She is planning to pack up and come down a couple of days before Thanksgiving, stay at Shauns for a couple of weeks, then with Coll for a week or so then on to Kelly's for Christmas and then to NC.

I was in the middle of making hot sauce and ended up having to pee while on the call and now have a burning sensation at my penis. The hot sauce is pretty good (I added some frozen pears), but it is pretty hot. Had 5 tall jelly jars worth so I did a half assed job of boiling water bath on them.

Leo wants to talk rent so he'll be over soon. I'm thinking on the one hand market rent was ~$1800 when he moved in and probably still is now but on the other hand we want him to stay. I'd be happy settling up $200 at $1550. I'll see what he thinks.
