December 19, 2022: Small Wins Are WIns -

My favorite TV show, the January 6 Committee Hearings, had a final episode today.  Without new witness testimony, it was a bit bland, but the outcome was a pleasure – Trump and others referred to the DOJ. Whether anything will come of it remains to be seen, but sufficient unto the day are the small wins thereof. 

Also, small wins are lots better than nothing.

YouTube is showing me videos of terrible grunge deep inside washing machines and dishwashers.  The narrators use the same strange phrasing, warning me that “millions of mold and bacteria” are growing inside my own appliances.  I absolutely refuse to be cowed by copywriters who don’t know that the plural of “mold” gets an “s.”

In other online news, I am beseeched by potential Facebook friends, all of them male, all of them veterans, all of them using the same line: they love my writing, and they tried to friend me but it didn’t work. They are not real humans.  I’m also getting tweets from imitation-people. Nothing horrifying, just random stuff. Both the fake vets on Facebook and the random tweets began right after Musk bought Twitter. I cannot explain it; I’m just reporting.

In offline news, I get an X-ray tomorrow to see how the broken bone in my foot is coming along. I’m very hopeful that I’ll be free of the boot sooner rather than later.  Wish me luck!
