The safest nuclear weapons possible and if Jesus had an AK 47 or was it an AR 15?

 The cat permitted me almost SIX hours of sleep AND woke me up in time to make it to a retreat I forgot to more fully publicize.

I will make the customary may I have a copy of the powerpoint slides request but it will be fine to do that AND thank the presenter who used the slides. The other presenters had stunning black and white photos that I could hold up close and see enough to know the images are like plenty of other images I have seen of things to do with Guatemala.


It was interesting to hear a former navy officer talk about safety and nuclear weapons and the need for multilateral initiatives and the needs of the Marshallese. There is of course no safe nuclear weapons and the ability to dock and load / unload missiles and warheads for two submarines at a time seems fraught with dangers not even counting what gets communicated with satellite imagery. Also frankly soothing to hear about how deep the norm is about commitment to non-violence for Ground Zero.


As for the conventional firepower, Twitter and Tiktok are just devastating about a #LaurenBoebert tweet to the effect that if Jesus had an AR 15 he would not have gotten crucified / died for our sins. Never mind Jesus and firepower, I do not understand how someone can be both rabidly #ProLife and rabidly pro-NRA. 


Really hard to top that with floods in MT, my mom's next medical experiment and whatever bilge will next be combed out for the January 6 hearings.

Holy Cow. Almost 9 hours of sleep. The extravagant luxury of going back to bed and not even trying to do anything after 5.9 hours of sleep. Going to bed at a reasonable hour because of not wanting to compute in the computer lab with no AC helped.  I decided I needed to get up and eat a real breakfast after a dream involving my certainty that I needed to take a shower in a tiny restroom near a big event of some kind and then enjoying a lot of food that I found tasty and it was not clear whether others realized it was available. I probably can go all kinds of places with that. Computer lab has AC. Room where digital equity team works does not. There is some kind of switching mystery that not even one of the very wise SHA HVAC experts can solve. Nice to see the computer lab space in use. And for exercise I will ride under desk bike to nowhere for awhile at an hour too late to be a good idea. Also I MUST scrub floor and wrangle refrigerator life forms. Count how many days I say that be...

About six hours of sleep. I should have gone back to bed. CPAP is a little bit of a workout but I think that will settle down. Mom's tree after all the presents were unwrapped Christmas with the fam went brilliantly.  First there was a chauffeur schedule that left me time to talk to Mom about latest non-locating of my brother while nephew fetched his parents. We did snack food and did not even attempt anything complex in Mom's "one-butt kitchen" Little Sister brought Little Smokies, one pan in a sauce I did not expect to tolerate made of commercial BBQ sauce and grape jelly. Little sister brought rolls and fruit salad. I brought crackers, cream cheese, beet chips and celery the latter of which I think I was the only one eating. So the rest of the bunch gets sauted and frozen for soup.  I brought yams to microwave if anyone wanted but kitchen logistics clobbered that. And we finished with mandarins and no one even wanted cookies and ice cream. Mostly I am SO GLAD Mom d...
