Weather: It's hard to believe that it's going to be very, very cold later this week. Right now, I'm blogging outside, sitting on a beach chair outside a jiu-jitsu gym watching Sophia through the windows. Without a coat / sweater, it's fine, but with a light coat / sweater, it's incredibly nice sitting outside. Meanwhile, our older daughter was kayaking / racing on the Trinity River on the northwest side of Ft Worth. She had a tough time getting through the Ft Worth. Today was the annual cattle drive through the city
Plans: I'm not sure what to do this weekend with re: to blogging. I may devote a fair amount of time to David Lynch and to the readings in the current issue of The Atlantic.
Reading: right now I'm reading Gilbert Osofsky's Harlem: The Making of a Ghetto, Negro New York, 1890 - 1930. Remember those convict helping to put out the fires in southern California, being paid less than $6.00 / day. Link here. There's a word for that and it's called peonage (yes, it's illegal in the United States). I'm probably wrong on that; I'm sure the convict-firefighters were all volunteers. And we move on.
NFL: two games today, two games tomorrow.
Magic: speaking of the NFL, if you want to see the "magic" of the NFL, specifically, Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs), look at the touchdown play, 7:44 third quarter, today, Houston Texas at KC.
NASCAR: first race of the season, February 2, 2025 (?)
Politics: whether accurate or not, the general feeling was that Biden was either in his basement (during the 2016 campaign) or on the Delaware beach (during his presidency), Trump, not even sworn in yet, wants to visit China.
Who was the first president to visit China? Yup, Nixon. Trump is telling us the "buzz" is no longer with the EU; it's with Asia. The other thing Trump is telling us? He's no ideologue like Al Gore, Barack Obama, Joe Biden. He's a free-thinker.
