Since I accidentally discovered yesterday that Shamu II – AKA Pixel 2XL – could capture a bird in flight – I tried it on purpose today. And that saffron finch might be the most elegant bird I ever captured. In flight.
This should make me happy. But, it makes me a little unhappy, because I love real cameras. But they are increasingly little old lady hostile. So, I should be happy.
Billy drug me to see the Doc-In-Box this morning. I don’t have cold/bronchitis/pneumonia. I have cold/laryngitis/sinusitis which is what I expected. Doc said it had been 3 weeks so, it was most likely bacterial and it might respond to antibiotics. I am seriously anti-antibiotics. But I am also major tired of this Cold From Hell. So, I gave her a test – “What antibiotic?” She gave the correct answer. So, Billy took me to Walmart to get drugs. Doc said: Don’t be impatient. Give them a chance to work. Yeah, right. She doesn’t know me!
One look at this end cap display at Walmart told me that I sure wasn’t special! This end cap is usually stuffed with greasy, salty, yummy crunchy snacks.

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary.
