    California Gov wants to ban gas vehicles

    Biden fell off bike

    Largely what I was thinking. God will forgive us and take away eternal spiritual consequences for what we have done. That doesn't mean that earthly secular consequences necessarily go away. If anything it may be that we show true repentance by freely submitting to secular consequences, maybe...

    But it's transitory, right?

    Biden fell off bike

    Sure, like I said before I'm not convinced Biden is entirely coherent. I'm just not sure it's helpful to seize on every little thing as if it were proof positive. It's interesting to see the traditionally left-leaning press breaking ranks with the "everything is fine, nothing to see here"...

    Biden fell off bike

    I think as part of a bigger picture there are many concerns about Biden's coherence. I just don't know that it's helpful when some aspects of the press jump all over every little thing as if it were definitive. Sometimes I fumble my words and forget what I wanted to say. Sometimes I catch the...

    What degree of temperature

    When I feel cold. That will vary based on all sorts of things, and will also depend on how far I'm going. I'll also dress differently depending on whether I'm going out for dinner or going for a run.

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    The rest of the insulation is blown into place. I had hoped to get away with a single bag of insulation but ended up using half of the second bag I bought. I could probably have managed to press the cellulose I've recovered from elsewhere into place by hand but decided to go with the blower for...

    What do you do about pain?

    Depends on the nature of the pain. Usually I just live with it but every once in a while I'll take acetaminophen for it. I've never been in the kind of pain that requires prescription painkillers so can't really comment on that.

    Father's Day meal?

    My wife and I went to our favorite brewpub. They had a special burger on the menu for today only, so I had it. It was delicious. I might have accidentally had a couple of beers as well. My wife was driving home.

    Biden fell off bike

    It's surprisingly easy to forget to remove feet from clips. I rode hundreds of miles in SPD shoes and every once in a while something would mean I had to stop in a hurry and get a foot down. I kept the clips on the pedals set quite loose because that meant I could pull my foot out in many...

    What belief in your denom do you find strange?

    Good point on foot washing. When Jesus did it you can be pretty sure the disciples' feet were pretty gross, if they had been wearing open-toed sandals and walking in the heat and the dust all day. That job was typically done by the lowest ranking servant, so Jesus doing it was very symbolic...

    Living from paycheck to paycheck

    Look for any way you can trim costs, even if it seems trivial at the time, and save the money to build up a buffer against unexpected bills. A lot of things seem tiny but add up. Turn the heat down by one degree. If you drive a car, drive it more gently, braking earlier or using engine braking...

    Does your church address racism?

    Because it's relevant to the question. I'm not really interested in the pretense of a discussion with someone who expects to micromanage very aspect of the interaction. Thanks anyway.

    Does your church address racism?

    Did I say you did? Is it a picture of heaven to have huddles of people who exclude those who aren't like them? Who knows... maybe heaven is racist after all. If people of different races are our brothers and sisters in Christ why wouldn't we want to be around them?

    Your favorite road trip snack

    I think the last time I ate anything from McDonalds was in 2016 when I took a bite out of something my wife had ordered. I can't stand the stuff. I'll eat ice cream from DQ but never really felt the urge to go for their food. If we stop on a long trip it's sometimes Arby's (although seldom, for...

    Does your church address racism?

    A church that is entirely one race may be a problem or it may not be a problem. It's impossible to say without knowing why it's all one race. Where I live is almost entirely white. Not surprisingly my church is almost entirely white. But one of the couples who attends has a daughter who married...

    PGA verses LIV

    True, and a large part of the purpose of a pastime is to pass time. If you enjoy doing something have at it. The fact someone else thinks it's a waste of time doesn't need to detract from your enjoyment of it.

    What belief in your denom do you find strange?

    Hard to say since I don't really identify with a denomination as such. The church I attend now is a Mennonite church and I find the stance on pacifism to be curious, although it's reasonably well known within the church that I don't share that stance.

    Useless but sentimental item(s)

    I move so infrequently it's really hard to say. I think I've moved maybe four times in the last 30 years, and one of those was because I needed a short term place to live when I moved to a new city. I've got a few odds and ends that belonged to grandparents that are ornamental but functionally...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    More house-related excitement. Shortly after the hardware store closed yesterday the flush mechanism on the toilet broke. So I guess I've got another job for today....
