Monkeying
Around
I was reading a recent interview with noted anthropologist
Jane Goodall and a statement of hers popped out
at me:
"I care about the future, I care about animals,
I care about trees, I care about children. And I'm
obstinate
and I won't give in. I won't be defeated by the Bushes,
and the Putins, and the Bolsonaros, all these terrible,
terrible people."
Putin, yeah, terrible person. Bolsonaro, yeah, also
terrible.
But Bush? Which one, Jane?
Neil Bush - The one banned from banking due to his
part in the Silverado S&L collapse.
Jeb Bush - The Governor of Florida who helped Dubya
steal the election in 2000.
H.W. Bush - The one who ignited the Oil Wars by tacitly
inviting Iraq to invade Kuwait.
Marvin Bush - The one who was on the board of directors
for security of the World Trade Towers.
George W. Bush - Ick! Yuck! Pooh! Grrr!
Yes, we've suffered a plague of Bushes but there are
more to come. Consider yourself warned by the best.
Thanks, Jane.

One day after I declared my October "vacation" my copy
of Chrome quit working. The error message when visiting
web sites was something about my clock being out of
date. It wasn't.
I use
Chrome almost exclusively so this was a big problem.
Just what I needed for my jangled nerves. Sigh.
Three days later, after hours of calls with my ISP
and web host, plus a new DSL modem, the problem remained
unresolved. Until Sunday afternoon.
Long story short, it was my browser's security certificate
that had expired. I was like, "WHY IS THAT EVEN
A THING?"
But it IS a thing and it affected lots of older hardware
besides this teletype machine I use for arting and
hentai acquisition.
Hope your weekend was better.
