    Homeless in your area?

    I'm not aware of homeless people in my area. In the cities you'd expect more homeless people. Away from the cities it's hard to see what they would do - in the city you can ask people walking by for change, see if any cafes have unsold food you can have, scavenge in dumpsters if you have to etc...

    Spring Cleaning Projects

    I'm running my vacuum cleaner multiple times a day. Although in this context cleaning is about clearing up the mess after pulling something down. Hopefully this spring I'll make some major steps forward with the house. That will involve a lot of mess and then a lot of cleaning up the mess.

    Is anyone watching the Chosen?

    I saw a couple of the first series. It didn't really work for me, I got the impression they were trying to create a back story based on speculation, to the point that the created back story became dominant. I wouldn't tell others not to watch it, I just didn't care to see any more of them.

    'He's Lost It'

    A major problem with US politics is that you could field a turnip as your candidate and the chances are 30-40% of the electorate would vote for it based on nothing more than whether it was listed as Turnip (D) or Turnip (R). There's a lot to dislike about the UK political model but at least the...

    Last time you went to the mall?

    Our mall is frankly pathetic. It used to be a good place to go and shop and a nice place to just hang out for a while. Now it's a joke - most of the larger stores have gone, at least half of it is empty and more often than not there are more staff than customers. The only reason we ever go...

    No children should be allowed

    Most places, other than places exclusively for adults that are not mentionable in polite company, seem to be the kind of places where the issue isn't so much the presence of children as the problem of badly behaved children. I've sat at a table next to very small children in restaurants and...

    Does technology scare you?

    And so much of the time people love how convenient it all is, and never even think about what happens if it doesn't work. Even when the system all but crashes people soon forget. It wasn't that long ago it was impossible to buy toilet paper and yet already people act as if everything will always...

    Does technology scare you?

    Repeat after me, "nothing to hide, nothing to fear, nothing to hide, nothing to fear". I remember seeing a TV show some years ago about governments collecting data and they interviewed a former Stasi agent. He commented that if the government has the data it will be misused at some point and...

    Pets and crazy time

    My cat has toys that spend time on the floor, where he can get at them and play with them. He'll walk past them, completely ignoring them. Then for no apparent reason one of them offends him and he attacks it with remarkable passion. He'll go crazy attacking it for a couple of minutes, then walk...

    Does technology scare you?

    The potential for misuse scares me more, along with the stupidity of people. Why people feel the need to share every detail of their life with companies that slice and dice it and sell it to the highest bidder is beyond me, for example. But even talking about how things might be misused results...

    How big is your church's library?

    It's about 15 feet square with shelves on two walls and much of a third wall. I don't know how often people use it, the books don't seem to move around much. A couple of years ago I was waiting for a telephone engineer so was thankful to have something to read while waiting.

    Balance

    Pretty good. There's a balance test I saw where you put your shoes and socks on the floor. Then you lift one foot and without putting your foot down you bend over, pick up a sock and put it on, then pick up a shoe and put it on. Repeat with the other foot. I don't do it with shoes but can...

    What’s worse?

    Hm. Having seen both it's hard to say which is worse. It's hard seeing a loved one slowly waste away, hurting as they go. But at least that way you get fair chance to say goodbye to them. Getting a phone call that a loved one essentially dropped dead without warning means they didn't suffer but...

    How are your New Year's Resolutions going?

    I made a resolution several years ago to not make any more resolutions. I'm keeping to it well.

    At times of tragedy,

    Unless you are able and willing to get close to the person suffering, or are already close to them, it's very hard to know what they need. From my own experience and that of some friends, one thing that seems to be a recurring theme is that when you lose someone close it starts to really sink...

    At times of tragedy,

    It would really depend on the tragedy. If a response other than (maybe over and above?) prayers is appropriate it could take all sorts of forms depending on what the person needs. Sometimes it's best to see a need and fix it, sometimes it's best to let people say what they need. It's all very...

    What word is a red flag for you

    Usually terms like "privilege" or "assault weapon". "Assault weapon" indicates the person speaking probably has no idea what they are talking about. "Privilege" usually precedes some variation of "you don't count because..."
