gwydion* I’m a member of two groups singled out for extra scrutiny. (No, not the obvious one). This means I get at least two forms of extra checks every time I go through a check point, sometimes more. I’m not afraid of flying, but I’m terrified of the TSA. What if someone takes exception to me existing during a stop over and I get trapped in the middle of the country with no money to get home?
I’m all for closing criminal background check loopholes and bringing back the assault rifle and extended clip bans, etc.., but I am against using the no fly list as a tool to stop gun sales because I am against the no fly list and have been since it was first being proposed. I am against extra judicial procedures. I am against the over throw of the rule of law. I am against the rising tide of authoritarianism. The no fly list needs to go and I will not compromise my beliefs for expedience.

* Today’s must do was get Hector Food. (Yet another drop below what the auto-withdraw will take for car insurance). It took me two and a half hours to achieve a functional body, but I did get extra function out of it, which it turned out I needed. I got a lot of things done around the house that needed doing, though not the thing I most needed to do. I’m calling it progress, even if that’s nearly it for spoons....And everything I wrote since the last posting went poof! Fun. What you're looking at is a reconstituted version. I want a lung treatment and cookies and a nap. None of these things are happening. No nap until lung treatment. No lung treatment until Hector wakes up naturally because he needs the sleep and I need the quiet. No cookies because if i had the spoons for baking, I'd be up doing the top three must dos that I blew off because I was nearly out of spoons when I discovered them.
* I am blown away by how well the Crafting/Archery/Horse events portion went. I’m chuffed at how many people turned up and played the various wedding events. It’s good to see so much life still in this game.
