No particular order:
I was at a blog where a comment was made in the typical detached allegedly unbiased way about neither Christianity or Islam being credible beliefs. The point was that since Christianity is being minimized by the progressives; then Islam will come and take its place. I replied that I was impressed at this insight, but that it’s not an accident, the progressives and the government are quite deliberate. I cited the time it took the government to call the shooting of the recruiters as something other than ‘workplace violence’ and how long they claimed they didn’t know the motive of the recent shooting in San Bernadino. It’s obvious they’re selectively covering for one religion.
The first commenter then ignored what I said, and reiterated his position with more verbiage and force. Then the site administrator made a reply, and the first guy was no longer the calm unbiased guy; he was in full mockery and distraction mode. I’ve read that there’s a method for writing troll propaganda pieces; A way to start, repeat, and end. Repeat he did. I’m wondering if it wouldn’t be an effective anti troll method to simply reply with a list that numbers the oft repeated terms in the troll’s comment. For instance: Irrational 4, Outdated 3, Superstitious 3.

A new way to reply in the affirmative: Ahh oui, ferr-shurr messieur.

I was driving down the road and noticed that a house up on a hill had recently put a rather large cut-out cartoony picture of a bird on an exterior wall between two windows. Like 5 feet tall at least. I was glad to see somebody liberated enough to do that. It appeared to be executed well enough, but the design was a bit lacking. Then I remembered how often I do the exact same thing with my own work. Like, it will pass, but I wish I had done it differently. I want to remember this as a principle; that being the second designer is easier than being the first.

Had an ongoing series of text messages with my wife the other day, part of it involved joking around about paint fumes that I was working with. I was rhyming my texts. One was: “If I was Amish, I’d be the Yeoder affected by the odor”.

I guess it’s a couple times a year that I go back and read Matthew Chapter 24, to see how it fits the times. This time verse 10 stood out; I suppose because of all the mentally unstable behavior in this country. Couldn’t it be said that Satan’s first rebellion was betrayal? Watch for more of it in our day.

Years ago, I wanted to make a Christian tract comparing restoration of cars and restoration of men. I still want to do that, but in the meantime, I’ve started a Facebook page about it: Jim-Restore
Here’s a page about more fun with camouflage experiments: Tool-Box
