The Sound of Thunder

The "stimulus" deposit was in my bank account this morning, and there's a sizable Federal tax refund coming, so that's going to be a big boost to the old savings account. There will be some irresponsible spending, of course.

Kentucky is now part of what I can best call a regional alliance, with respect given to a 30-year-old Top Secret/SI sourcebook. We're working with Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, Indiana, and Wisconsin to plan when and how to "reopen" our states' economic engine, share resources, all the things that a functional Federal government would be handling. I'm here for this, but I wish it wasn't necessary.

It occurred to me tonight that I haven't done any real meal cooking in a long time. Well, relative to the strange days that we're living in. Everything has come out of a box or a can, and that's not been a whole lot of fun. I guess the panic buying and shortages it brought on made it harder for me to find things and/or just easier to take the pre-made way. I should fix this situation soon. Like, tomorrow, I think.

I think, since the weather forecast for tomorrow afternoon calls for cloudy skies and rain, I'm going to lie on the couch and watch Blade Runner and BR2049. Seems appropriate, and with the first images of Villeneuve's Dune starting to appear, I'm good with getting another look at the director's work.

Apparently Iowa was invited to play with the cool Midwestern kids too, but declined. Our governor's excuse is that she's done more work with Nebraska and South Dakota on flood control.

I can understand the thinking there - if there are existing relationships, make use of them.

In other times, I'd be surprised at Kentucky's involvement in this group of states.
