A relaxing sip of bourbon as I listen to the wind and rain pelt the house.
A good evening so far.
It occurs to me that, with my constant talk of bourbon, I come across as a alcoholic. Rest assured that I am not. The last time I overdid it was nearly a decade ago.
@matigo I only maintained an interest in it because I had to write software that moved millions of dollars around.
I consider it negligent to not know what you're up against.
Enough fooling around.
It's time for whisky and a good book
Torn between re-reading 'Crime & Punishment' or 'The Brothers Karamazov'

@kdfrawg A long time ago, after my gunshot wound and resulting chronic headaches, I was prescribed strong pain killers. I was fortunate enough to learn to tough it out rather than over medicate as I never liked being numbed. Makes it easier to deal with the stuff I have going on now.

I don't see hate so much as I see carnival barker. One ridiculous tweet or statement and the press goes haywire…ignoring things like tax returns or some other thing of real consquence.
I also see some disturbing things from the media, such as a story drawing parallels between he and Dylan Roof.
This is so dangerous.
They are making him a sympathetic character through absurd smears thus rendering him almost immune to real criticism.
