the weatherman has put me in an angry red bubble of "power outage probability," but at least it's not purple -- the next rung up in his scale. the utility company has sent me multiple texts when they usually, like... never send me shit? even if i forget to pay the bill for a week 'cos i'm a space cadet? i've no sense my power is definitely going to go out. more that the authority nozzle is going: um, hey bub... yeah, about power lines [pro tip: live near some bit of critical infrastructure, like a hospital or a train station or whatever. then, your power can go out like anyone else's, but it will be fixed faster] wish me luck |

yes, im surrounded by hospitals but its good to know where the candles are. maybe a flashlight, hell maybe even some bottled drinks. theres a movie about the terrors of a power out in the public airing, proclaiming panic, death and end of times. ok, a wide outage (not a block getting turned down for a few min) sure aint fun, but its not the end of the world. be careful though with that foot of yours and get well soon! |

in general, i'll hear loud thonks when loads of melting snow slides off the roof in a sheet. i don't usually hear this while it's still snowing ...and, yyyeah, that's some heavy snow. it's going to keep going. and going. as the temp drops. then absurd wind sets in. i can see why they were saying what they said. the authority nozzle wants you to be terrified of a power out, because without power, the nozzle has no authority. ~ while current days are very much "i hate this timeline" it has its moments, like, this is a cool dashboard to have and they've done a good job of building it. |

it's my theory that the jungian collective unconscious is physically located in the far northwest of massachusetts, where no one ever actually goes. here you will find things like "Florida, Massachusetts" that only make sense in a dream-logic sort of way ...but, yeah, 100% power outage in Florida |

fine here so far pretty much the power outages are aligning with the places that got clobbered with the most snow during the earlier leg. those that missed the boat there, seem good so far it's been a pretty storm to watch on the radar. it swoops in, does a loop-the-loop, then should swoop out. the tail end of the loop pushing in colder air and lots of wind |

I'm absolutely loving this weather here in dead center california. Some people got it pretty bad a few months ago-- Gilroy (major garlic producer for the whole US) had some really bad flooding. Seems moderate this go round. I love rain though, the state really needed it. |

hows the foot? bloody irritating. healing. but everything takes forever. probably my least favorite is waking up, really having to pee, and then having to get the boot on with precise pad placing, multiple straps, pumping, then a shoe, and once or twice i barely made it. hate it then i can't walk, watching my leg atrophy, boot cuts off the circulation in my toes and they're brused-y, the insurance company being quiet about "you may randomly owe $500 to the ER after your $150 copay" and i don't care if the neighbors heard me screaming after that one, because i felt much better afterwards. like i'd just taken a dump |

that, gosh, heck. one of my kind of, first, early... proto-strange bastard... posts... was about, like, putting your socks on properly. and how i could literally be sitting at a meeting at work and i'd be having trouble focusing on some bloke's powerpoint because i notice my sock is on wrong. and my sock is on wrong. pay attention to... my sock is on wrong so, kind of reactionary, getting my sock on properly in the morning becomes a very focused and defined thing. it's remained such and it hasn't been a hassle since i was like 27 in this context... the boot. pads, four straps. a broken, healing foot. a pumping mechanism capable of an analog pressure curve, actually sculpted by the straps... if it makes any sense, i can actually get lost in, like, constructing... an instance of wearing the boot? that i find it very satisfying and meditative, really, and i can do it in complete darkness at this point. in fact, visual input is largely distracting at this point but all that goes out the window when i have to pee now after sleeping for nine hours next to a cluster of empty water bottles. at that point, i do a very sloppy job of strapping it on |

mum had some foot problem, and the foot doctor -- top notch guy, it sounds -- just did some intricate weaving of medical tape on her foot and said, "does that feel better?" and answer was, "wow yes, that's amazing. please show me how to do that" and reply was a laugh, and, "you'd need to go through medical school and then a few years of practice on top of that, sorry" the doc can't feel inside the patient's foot -- barring black mirror becoming reality, anyways. so i think he was more thinking from his own perspective -- it would take med school and a few years of hands-on ~in addition~ before you could... wrap a stranger's foot that deliberately. the difficult patient -- me -- acknowledges that i haven't been through medical school. that medicine is worse than computer shit, particularly the lingo, the terminology. but really, the details; that i do not have. if you split the difference ~ i've never spent so much meditative focus on my foot before. i'm starting to visualize it in a way i really haven't before. that i'm starting to feel like i could wrap my own foot as well as he could do it for me, for a good number of arbitrary foot ailments. but not for every darn thing, and i would refuse to even try on someone else [because i can't be sure i'm doing it proper (because i can't feel what i'm doing)] i miss DADONCK. remember my absurd "slick shoes" idea? i have some more specific sensor ideas about feet now |

I bet you could be a competent nuclear engineer in 2-3 years under an apprenticeship. The notion that you have to be a medical school trained doc to wrap your foot is ridiculous. |

Tony, that guy does have a lot of things concluded. I like his foot massage music, but something about his voice bothers the hell outta me, hopefully I can move past the hating on Brad. #FootMassageMusic |

its stupid, everyone can learn how to do proper bandages in less than an hour, without causing harm or a thrombus and that is a faaar fetched risk. bet its about insurance issues. hospitals shouldnt be busineses. |
