Lamb Stew

[liveonearth]

A whole Monday at home with nothing on the calendar.  I've been into my beading kit, made a batch of lamb stew, did laundry, read some... lots of things that I haven't gotten to in a long time.  Same as opening up this box and typing in it.  But I had to write about today's lamb stew.  I've made lamb stew many times but never with a recipe.  Then

It seems too hot for stew. Maybe not up there, but it’s been way too warm here to cook something like that. Having said that, this morning was hot and this afternoon is chilly with the monsoon storm that rolled in.

I think Trump is pretty brilliant and it would do people like you and be good to understand him better. He comes across as a buffoon but he is extremely manipulative and gets people to do what he wants. How?

It was hot today but it was cold last night and I closed up the house and "cold hoarded". It never got hot indoors, and the low tonight will be cool enough to do it again. But I didn't bake muffins. I want to make a batch of muffins but I'm waiting for a cool day to do it.

I'm not sure Trump is brilliant anymore, but he was of at least average intelligence and more than average drive as a young man. My operating theory is that he has hardened into some viewpoints and strategies and can no longer learn new things. Unfortunately for us the old programs that he is operating on are still running in the minds of a whole lot of Boomers....if that makes any sense at all.

Makes sense, but it’s not just the boomers. It’s young people and old people and people in between… I don’t know. I don’t think people give him enough credit on the intelligence scale. In fact I wonder if he purposefully acts like a buffoon to fool people. Take, for example the tax “breaks“ that his supporters are so in love with… Yet with the new tariffs, Americans will end up paying more out-of-pocket in the end. It’s just a tax of a different kind but they don’t hear about that... its very sneaky.

Yes, it's not just the boomers. He is a master of the prevailing cultural assumptions and eliminating those will remove his power. Problem is, cultural shifts are generationally slow....
